About Melgar Family Child Care

Melgar Family Child Care is a home-based child care and education solution in the Los Angeles area. With a family-like environment and the small, cozy feeling that comes from an in-home provider, Melgar Family Child Care provides children and families a welcome transition from the home to the learning environment. Home-based education like at Melgar Family Child Care can be attractive for the small group sizes and the comfort, familiarity and ease of adapting for children, especially those newer to spending significant time outside of the family home. With a full-time schedule, as well, Melgar Family Child Care allows parents to work and assume other responsibilities while their children are playing and learning amongst their peers. Children have the opportunity to get used to the natural rhythms of a daily structured learning environment with a full-time schedule, which can help smooth the transition into kindergarten and future education. The full-time schedule allows plenty of opportunities for creativity and fun, too, as the day always feels too short when you’re having fun! Melgar Family Child Care likewise takes a play-based approach to children's development and learning, facilitating education through interactive, hands-on activities that get children moving. Play-based environments structure their spaces to encourage students to move with independence, passion and explore at their own direction. Staff in these environments encourage and galvanize students to lean into their interests and build their own worlds in cooperation with their peers, and students gain cooperative, social and emotional skills as a result of this community.
