Program

**Welcome to Bright Nest Daycare!** 🌿

At Bright Nest Daycare, we provide loving, nurturing care in a cozy home environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. Our goal is to support each child’s developmental milestones while fostering curiosity, creativity, and independence.

**Through Play-based activities and nature-based experiences**, we make every day an opportunity to explore, discover, and learn!

🌳 **A Backyard Full of Discovery!** Our spacious backyard is thoughtfully designed for nature-based learning, giving children opportunities to explore the outdoors, connect with nature, observe plants and wildlife, engage in sensory play, and develop their imagination through hands-on experiences. We believe outdoor exploration helps children build confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

🕗 **Hours:** Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:30 PM

We proudly accept subsidized child care payments through **CHS and the Department of Education**.

Teachers

I have a master’s degree in Educational Psychology, a California Preschool Teacher Permit, and many years of experience working as a Behavioral Interventionist. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR and have a background in Early Childhood Education.

I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and explore the world around them in a safe and loving environment. At Bright Nest Daycare, I believe children learn best through play, nature, and everyday experiences. My goal is to make each child feel welcome, supported, and happy while helping them develop at their own pace. 🌿💛

Reviews

Leaving my baby in someone else’s care was one of the scariest things I’ve ever had to do, and how lucky am I that it was Miss Mahnaz ❤️ My son has been with them since he was 7 months old, and now at 19 months, we couldn’t be happier. Her and her assistant are so sweet...Read more, patient, and caring, creating fun, engaging, and educational experiences for the kids. We love the pictures and videos they share, and we’re so grateful our son gets to learn, grow, and make memories with them until he’s ready for kindergarten. We truly couldn’t ask for a better place for him!

We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful, loving, and caring place for our daughter, Liana. Mahnaz, the...Read more owner and teacher, is truly amazing!
