Arakelyan Family Daycare
Welcome to JoyFULL Learning Developmental Childcare & Preschool! We offer children a supportive and friendly environment that’s just like home. At our home daycare, our goal is to help children learn important social, emotional, and behavioral skills that ensure they reach their developmental milestones. We offer an environment that advances curiosity and inquisitiveness through Reggio Emilia Inspired, Project-based, and Developmental Play-based activities. We know that schedules vary, and we have options for part-time and full-time packages. At our daycare, we provide a culturally diverse learning environment by offering programs in Spanish. We can't wait to meet you! Please reach out to schedule your tour.
I am an experienced director with over 31 years of experience, and I am committed to providing the highest quality of childcare.
In addition, I am an Early Childhood Educator and Child/Youth Educational Consultant. Which has allowed me to acquire a wide variety of experience and strategies to effectively work with individuals and various organizations serving grades Pre-K-12th and managing multiple projects. I have a lot of experience working with young children, families and diverse communities. Over the years, I've been a youth/community activist, promoting the importance of education and literacy. I served as the President of the Friends of Angeles Mesa Public Library for 18 years. I am currently an adjunct faculty for the Los Angeles Community College District, teaching Child Development.
I have earned a B.A. in Communications from Howard University, and M.A. in Human Development from Pacific Oaks College.
With my professional experience and certifications in First Aid, CPR, teaching, and Early Childhood Education, I focus on developmentally appropriate activities for children to encourage their excitement for learning.
