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.

A real look inside the play and learning spaces

No stock photos here. This is the actual backyard, the reading nook, the art table, and the sensory bins where your child will spend the day. Outdoor play, hands-on learning, quiet corners, and plenty of space to explore.

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.

The home is set up for both energy and rest, with a gated backyard for outdoor play, an art area, a reading corner, and a quiet nap room, all in a calm Lake Forest neighborhood near a park and two schools.

Before you start, you are welcome to ask about part-time and full-time openings, share your schedule, and walk through what a typical day looks like so you know exactly what to expect.
