Meet Mrs. Sandra
A real teacher, in a real home
Hi, I'm Sandra. Before opening Little Genius Home Daycare OC, I spent 8 years as a preschool classroom teacher, and that experience shapes everything I do here. I keep my group small on purpose so every child gets warmth, structure, and the kind of attention that helps them feel safe enough to learn. Little Genius Home Daycare OC is fully licensed by the State of California.
In our home, your child plays in a gated backyard, rests in a quiet nap room, creates in a dedicated art area, and settles in with books in a cozy reading corner. We weave Spanish into the day alongside early skills, kindness, and good habits. I would love to show you around. Call or text me to schedule a tour.

Our approach
Big attention in a small home daycare setting
Little Genius Home Daycare OC stays intentionally small so the day never feels rushed or crowded. In a smaller home setting, children get noticed. They get encouraged. They get the kind of steady, responsive care that helps a child feel safe enough to try new things.
