Lackey Family Daycare
Our teaching philosophy is based on a montessori style. It’s my goal to uniquely care for my Tiny Feets and cater to their specific needs requested by families and what I discover during their time here. I strive to develop the motor skills of infants so they can be best prepared as they reach toddler age, where I focus on developing their confidence and independence. Allowing the children to have freedom to explore their curiosities and imagination is fundamental to observing their natural talents and skills.
I got my license 5 years ago but I have my own twins and decided not to open until two years ago. I was teaching at a montessori while my twins were younger. I wanted to use my past experience and open a true montessori based on my background and experience. I allow the child to move at his or her own pace. The child gets to work on certain tasks, give them freedom in what they want to do, this is a true montessori.

My son is so happy to be in great hands.
We live in a soft-hearted home that has a good balance between indoor and outdoor space. I have a large backyard for the kiddos to safely and comfortably play or read. We often utilize the backyard for our sensory activities.
We reside in a quiet neighborhood encompassed by parks and local businesses. It’s relatively accessible and easy to find our Daycare as we’re located right off the 91-freeway!
