Answers to the questions families ask most

T.L.C. Footprints is currently enrolling. Availability varies based on your child's age and requested schedule, so please contact me for current openings.

I welcome children from birth through age 5.

I'm open Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, and closed on weekends and designated holidays.

Yes, both! Rates for each are published on the Programs and Rates page.

T.L.C. Footprints is intentionally kept small so children can receive individualized attention in a familiar home setting. Current availability depends on the ages of the children enrolled and California licensing requirements.

Yes. Children have a predictable daily rhythm that includes meals and snacks, play, age-appropriate activities, rest, and outdoor or movement opportunities while still allowing flexibility for individual needs.

I provide breakfast, an AM snack, and a PM snack. Families provide lunch.

Yes, I'm happy to accept Child Action assistance. Eligibility and payment details depend on your specific program, so Child Action can confirm what applies to your family.

My approach is play-based and child-led, within a predictable daily rhythm. Children learn best through exploration, creativity, interaction, and everyday experiences, and I love watching that happen.

I'd love to show you around! Submit the online tour form, or call, text, or email me directly. I'll confirm a time that works for you.

Brightwheel is the child care platform I use with families. Prospective families join my interest list there, and enrolled families use it for forms, messages, and payments.

Choose Join the Interest List on this site. You'll find it on this page and in the footer of every page. It opens my interest form in Brightwheel, which may ask you to sign in or create an account first.

Use the Brightwheel Sign-In link on this page or in the footer of any page. That's where you'll find your forms, messages, and payments.

Tuition is based on enrollment and reserving your child's space, so your rate stays the same whether your child attends every day that week or not.

A $150 non-refundable enrollment deposit is required to reserve your child's childcare space.

Families provide their child's lunch along with any needed diapers, wipes, extra clothing, blanket, sunscreen, and water bottle. Additional age-specific items will be reviewed with families before the child's first day.

A child who isn't feeling well may need to stay home to rest and to help keep the rest of our group healthy. We'll review the full illness policy together during enrollment, so you'll know exactly which symptoms call for a day at home and when your child is welcome back.

Transportation isn't provided, so drop-off and pickup are handled by families.
