Teachers

Ana Margarita - Director

Margarita is our head teacher and she has over ten years of experience in childcare as well as teaching college-level classes. The curriculum is child-centered and based around preparing children to enter school by helping them learn colors, numbers, the alphabet, fine and gross motor skills, basic hygiene such as washing hands, following class rules such as cleaning up toys, and much, much more.
After working at a childcare center, Matthew and Margarita started a home daycare in order to provide a better nurturing and more attentive environment where children are allowed more room freedom of expression.

Reviews

Excellent service. My child is always happy to go and I feel safe to go to work. They meet my expectations and request.

Ingrid C.

It’s been really good. My kiddo is happy there. I like that they always communicate with me and tell me how his day is going, what he’s eaten, how he slept, and how he felt throughout the day.

Laine P.

You are a great professional, you have a lot of experience, I know you like children, and you know how to take care of them very well.

Location

The Home

Our beautiful WeeCare home is in a nice and quiet area of Wrigley Heights. We have a beautiful backyard with many fruit trees. Since the weather in California allows for fun in the sun almost every day of the year, children are encouraged to play outdoors instead of staying inside. The outdoor play area contains a plethora of different activities, with sports balls, slides, sandbox, tricycles, playhouses, and more.

The Neighborhood: Long Beach

Our neighborhood resides in graceful Long Beach city. Los Cerritos Elementary is a few minutes away from us. We are minutes away from Wrigley Park and Beker Street Park, and Harbor Fwy.
