About New Adventures Large Family Childcare Home

I’m thrilled to introduce you to New Adventures, where learning is an adventure. This is a nurturing childcare home where every child’s learning journey is supported through play and exploration. My name is Ms. Heather, and I’ve had the pleasure of owning and operating New Adventures for seven years. I have an associate's degree in early childhood development, 20 additional college units in Early Childhood Education, a California teacher's permit, and earned a five-star rating from the Tulare County Office of Education in 2019.I understand the importance of nurturing both academic and personal growth. Over the years, I’ve learned that a play-based environment is the most natural and effective way for children to learn. I encourage the children in my care to engage with a variety of materials that promote both creativity and critical thinking. I’ve carefully designed the daycare space to offer rich, hands-on experiences, both indoors and outdoors, and I rotate the play materials monthly to keep their minds and hands engaged. I believe every moment is an opportunity for learning through curiosity, and I use those moments to guide children along their individual developmental paths. Our meals are an extension of our learning, where children practice counting, identifying colors, and developing good table manners. Outdoor time is equally enriching, with hands-on opportunities to observe our chickens, fruit trees, and vegetable garden. The children actively participate in gardening, learning the importance of care, patience, and fresh food. Our safe, fenced play area offers a variety of climbing, digging, and splashing.
