Success Story

October,13,2020
October,13,2020 My name is Maria J. Angeles, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in December of 2014, and I already finished my master’s degree with a specialization in Transitional Kindergarten and my goal is to continue preparing myself professionally. I am proud of myself for all that I have achieved and for the children’s benefit. I have 30 years of experience in education and 20 years with my own Childcare business, my Day Care Mission is to prepare Children to begin kindergarten knowing their ABC’s, basic arithmetic, writing their own name, reading elemental words, basically, having a great advantage over other children that are starting school for the very first time. I participated in First 5 Imperial Quality Start Program for more than 10 years, and I have found the support to do precisely what I need, in this program the main goal is that a Child Care provider must commit to quality and professionalism with the children receiving services, the proper education to guide them into a path that strengthen their cognitive, socio-emotional, language, fine and gross motor skills, so that the children can have the self-confidence by exploring the environment that surrounds them. On behalf of the parents who belong to my Family Child Care and on my behalf, we thank you for all your support. Cordially, Maria J AngelesCordially,
Maria J Angeles
