Recent Review:

We started at Razia’s when our daughter, Navleen, was 11 months old. We found out about her from a friend and we are glad we made that decision. She warmly welcomed us into her little family of munchkins.
With Razia, we’ve never had to worry about the safety and growth of our child. She is very particular about both. While there are many good things about her daycare, a few that I particularly liked are:
a) She genuinely cares for kids. It’s much more than just a job for her. You’ll know what I mean when you meet her.
b) She makes fresh food for kids every single day.
c) Be it letters or manners, learning at Razia’s is always on.
d) We get regular updates on our baby’s growth and development.
e) She never shied away from providing us enough material and guidance whenever we needed help.
To any parent who is looking for a great daycare in and around the Sunnyvale/Cupertino area, I would highly recommend Razia’s….

I am a CA licensed provider of 36 years, and I have openings for full and part time. I am looking for families who want their children to receive gentleness, kindness, and loving care. My promise is that yourchild will receive personal attention. I base my rates on the amount of hours needed. I pro-rate the cost, since many parents have flexibility in their work schedules, leaving the children less hours in child care. I am willing to work with parents in negotiating costs.
If you are interested in setting up an appt. or would like to ask questions, please either email or phone me for more information.
I have completed the certification procedures to help fight against Covid-19. I have specific procedures established with CFOC, Caring for Our Children, which provides details for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfection. Recently I’ve purchased an ActivePure Air-Clean System which improves the air quality and reduces over 99% of micro-organisms in the air and surfaces. It includes reducing SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19. My goal and determination is to keep all my children and their parents, healthy and safe.
I have established a program designed for children to have arts/crafts to grow educationally, academically, and provide hand/eye coordination. Children’s crafts helps build letter recognition. I have created activities for exploring and reinforce learning, by practicing colors, shapes, and matching. We take walks where children explore their surroundings, and learn from the neighborhood. A provider to children is really rewarding and I have experienced bonds with so many families. Flexibility helps me manage stress, and face challenges with calmness.
Babies and children are very curious and want to know everything that is around them. We have found lizards, bunnies, snails. We hear woodpeckers, firetrucks, and helicopters, and we see birds nests, bees and flowers. The kids are amazed.
The best way to show your child that I respect them is by having soft, gentle hands. I listen to what they are saying and understand what they are expressing. When I use kind words and manners, children copy by sharing, waiting your turn, saying please and thank you….

Visual Arts

Our students will be encouraged to express themselves creativity through hands-on experiences in which all senses will be engaged. The art that students create will often be an extension of the learning in other core disciplines, which will help them to process and internalize the learning in a meaningful way.

Critical Thinking

At Safari Kid we want our students to be able to rationalize with each other over a complex topic or idea and break it down into smaller parts that they can understand. Then they can analyze it in a way that helps them to solve the problem. This sort of mulling over a topic or problem is the key to having success in future academic and career adventures. It is the way society is able to progress and come up with solutions to everyday problems. Our critical thinking courses are designed with these goals in mind.

Public Speaking

Students who can express their ideas clearly and confidently are guaranteed to be more successful throughout their academic careers. By beginning to learn the communication skills associated with speaking well in public, our Safari Kid first graders will be well-prepared for their future. Having enough self-confidence to speak up in a group setting is a door-opener to endless opportunities.

Theater

Safari Kid understands that the benefits of drama in the elementary curriculum have been researched and cited in various studies. First graders will be building their self-confidence. It is often easier to be bold while playing a character. And this can in turn ignite a confidence within. Taking risks and performing in front of others, even if it is just reading lines aloud, offers a trust building experience for students, which in turn also builds their self-esteem. Students in our drama course are required to communicate with one another, collaborate on ideas, and be creative. These are skills that will transfer over to all areas of our students’ academic lives. They will enjoy their time transforming into characters, while they unknowingly are also practicing important reading skills such as fluency and reading comprehension. Our drama course also teaches empathy. For how better to empathize, than to actually jump into the shoes of someone else?

Engineering

Our Safari Kid first graders will continue discovering the excitement of planning and building through our innovative engineering curriculum. Hands-on activities will challenge our students to think spatially and logically, empowering them to become problem solvers. Perhaps even more importantly, through the trials of engineering, values such as perseverance and determination will be naturally reinforced.

Computer Readiness

In Safari Kid’s Computer Readiness classes students will learn the basics of computers which will help them to access computers with more confidence. They will also learn to think logically. In today’s world of ever-growing technology, these are important skills to show command over.

Junior Leader

Research has found that leadership is not necessarily an innate quality. It can be taught; and there is no better time to teach leadership qualities, than when kids are at the start of their academic careers. By teaching our students the characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors of great leaders we are giving them the tools to become leaders themselves. Students in Safari Kid’s 1st Grade Junior Leader class will be engaged in activities that will invite them to build their character and encourage them to flex their leadership muscles. By learning about great leaders from the past we can show them the power for good that having good leadership skills can foster. Through it all, they will begin to see that they too are able to lead with confidence and make a positive change in the world.

Spanish

At Safari Kid we know that learning fluency in a new language is much easier to achieve when you are exposed to it from a young age. However, this is not the only reason why Spanish is included in the Grade 1 curriculum. There are also cognitive advantages such as increased creativity and problem-solving skills, not to mention the vocabulary and reading benefits. Students who are bilingual in Spanish generally have an easier time with vocabulary due to a connection found with Latin word roots. The connections that can be made to others of LatinX descent can also be rewarding. These are the present benefits but being bilingual will also translate into having greater opportunities for colleges and careers in the future.

Our students will continue to learn the basics of Spanish including phonics and letters, numbers, colors, shapes and more. They will also learn to speak conversational Spanish, so that when they are finished, they should be able to speak simple sentences, but with confidence.

Social Science

Safari Kid’s Grade 1 Social Science Curriculum will provide insight into the history of our world and shed light on the connection between the past and the present. Students will learn how to read maps and use them to help explore the continents of our world. They will learn about ancient civilizations and the countries that once were. They will learn about various religions and exotic festivals associated with them. And students will follow the lives of various explorers of America. By charting a clear map of our past, our students can forge boldly into the future to assist in creating their own rich history.

Science

In Safari Kid’s 1st Grade Science Curriculum children will continue to answer their natural questions about the world through observation and experimentation. Students will study the physical sciences, earth sciences, life sciences, and scientific principles of investigation and experimentation. The content will be presented in an engaging and memorable format in which students realize that science is often just about staying alert to what happens or what can happen as a result of some other action and making a note of it. Some of the topics that will be covered are Space Exploration, Plant and Animal Survival, Light Refraction and Sound Travel, Simple Machines, Human Systems.

Math

Safari Kid’s mathematics curriculum continues to provide a solid understanding of math concepts using engaging methods, hands-on manipulatives, and real-life examples that cleverly illustrate how math is useful in day-to-day life. Each math skill introduced will build upon the previous one taught as we introduce students to new concepts at a pace that ensures mastery. Our goal is to foster a positive attitude for learning math and set the students up for success for years to come. A command over the basics will provide the proper stepping-stones for the next level of mathematical principles.

Spelling

Research has shown a positive correlation between spelling growth and gains in reading comprehension, vocabulary growth, and writing. For this reason, the Safari Kid Grade 1 Curriculum includes an explicit plan for exemplary spelling development. Every week the children will master ten words through proven methods and have a spelling test on Friday.

Language Arts

The Safari Kid Language Arts curriculum lays the foundation for comprehending all other disciplines as it acts as a bridge between simple decoding to reading for knowledge. It continues to work on such reading strategies as phonemic and phonetic awareness, blending and segmenting, and the recall of spelling patterns, but also builds comprehension through activities such as read and illustrate, sequencing, and vocabulary building. All of this skill building helps our first-grade students transition from learning to read to reading to learn.

Visual Arts

Our students will be encouraged to express themselves creativity through hands-on experiences in which all senses will be engaged. The art that students create will often be an extension of the learning in other core disciplines, which will help them to process and internalize the learning in a meaningful way.

Engineering

Safari Kid Kindergarteners will discover the process of construction through our innovative engineering curriculum. Students will learn to investigate a problem, imagine a solution, and then design, create, and improve it. Our students will begin to see themselves as problem solvers and inherently learn such values as perseverance and determination.

Public Speaking

Students who can express their ideas clearly and confidently are guaranteed to be more successful throughout their academic careers. By beginning to learn the communication skills associated with speaking well in public, our Safari Kid Kindergarteners will be well-prepared for their future. Having enough self-confidence to speak up in a group setting is a door-opener to endless opportunities.

Spanish

Safari Kid understands that it is much easier for children to learn fluency in a new language if they start from a young age. It also provides cognitive advantages such as increased creativity and problem-solving skills. Children who are bilingual in Spanish generally have an easier time with vocabulary due to a greater understanding of Latin word roots, thus boosting their reading ability.

The benefits of learning Spanish range from increased reading skills and test scores now, to having greater opportunities for colleges and careers in the future. With an introduction to Spanish, our Kindergarteners are already brightening their future.

Handwriting

Safari Kid’s Kindergarten curriculum is research-based, and therefore we have studied the positive correlation between perfecting handwriting and overall reading development. When students practice their writing of letters, they are also practicing the way words are formed, the way letters create certain sounds when put together, and the way words are put together to form sentences. So, in addition to having legible writing, they are also reinforcing important reading and writing skills.

Drama

Safari Kid’s Drama curriculum provides another medium for practicing important Kindergarten reading skills and to have a blast doing it! In addition to the fun of role playing and acting, Safari Kid understands how to seize the opportunity for increasing fluency in reading and increased vocabulary development. The art of acting gives reading purpose and drives natural motivation from wanting to deliver a polished performance.

Computer Science

In Safari Kid’s Computer Readiness classes students will learn the basics of computers which will help them to access computers with more confidence. They will also learn to think logically. In today’s world of ever-growing technology, these are important skills to show command over.

Leadership

There is no better time to teach leadership qualities, than when kids are just beginning their academic careers. When we teach children the characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors of great leaders we are giving them the tools to become leaders themselves. We will show them the power for good that having good leadership skills can foster. Through goal setting, responsibility roles, and reflection they will begin to see that they too are able to lead with confidence and make a positive change in the world.

Social Science

With a clear understanding of the past, our students will better understand the present and take heed into the future. Safari Kid’s Social Science curriculum covers both world history and American history. It presents history as a series of stories about the actions of individuals and groups of people that can be analyzed and evaluated. Students will also learn about geography and utilize maps and globes in a way that will benefit future studies of the world.

Spelling

Research has shown a positive correlation between spelling growth and gains in reading comprehension, vocabulary growth, and writing. For this reason, the Safari Kid curriculum includes an explicit plan for exemplary spelling development.

Science

Safari Kid’s Kindergarten Science Curriculum encourages our student’s natural curiosity about the world around them and develops that into actual scientific observations and discoveries. Our kindergarteners will be introduced to the physical sciences, earth sciences, life sciences, and the scientific principles of investigation and experimentation through engaging stories and science books, hands-on experiments, and purposeful projects.

Language Arts

Students will delve into the craft of writing by analyzing the written word. Stories will be broken down to their simplest parts and studied so that the craft of writing also becomes simplified. Grammar rules will be introduced in a natural progression. Skills such as summarizing and comparing will be mastered in preparation for higher order skills such as inference and the synthesis of information.

Math

Safari Kid’s mathematics curriculum uses engaging methods such as hands-on manipulatives, and real-life examples that cleverly illustrate how math is useful in day-to-day life. By using a teaching sequence that builds upon itself, we introduce students to new concepts at a pace that ensures mastery and fosters a positive attitude toward learning math. Their command of the basics will provide the proper stepping-stones for the next level of mathematical principles.

Reading

At Safari Kid, we know that reading is the key to all other learning, so we make it our Kindergarten mission to master this skill. We begin with conquering phonetics and fluency and progress to higher order reading skills such as vocabulary retention and comprehension. Students will be eager to read our high interest fiction and non-fiction reading materials which are designed to educate as well as delight the reader.

Day Care Centers Site

More and more in today’s world both parents have employment and need suitable day care centers for their children. These early stages in a child’s life are very important to their growth and development. Choosing a good child day care center is vital, one where the adult won’t just plunk your children down in front of a soap opera all day and feed them Top Ramen. You should look for day care centers that provide learning programs and playtime for your child, along with a safe and healthy environment. 

There are many different types of day care centers, ranging from basic nurseries to preschools that will provide more of a learning environment for your children. Some day care centers specialize in a specific age range, while others are more open. When you’re contemplating placing your child in a specific day care center, you should visit each one with your child. In this way, you can see how your child reacts to the other children who are there and to the caregiver. You want your child to be happy and comfortable.

While some day care centers provide a greater variety of activities than others, any good day care center is going to encourage positive interaction among all of the children. They will also have rules that promote good behavior, learning, manners, and child development. You certainly don’t want to have to worry that your child is going to develop bad habits from day care.

While you don’t need to go overboard in choosing suitable day care centers, you should approach the subject seriously and with thought. Your child is going to be spending a good-sized portion of his or her life in day cares and you want to make sure it is going to be a positive experience. Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority.
When you are considering a day care center, you should look at where it is located and how much it costs. There’s not much sense in putting your son or daughter in daycare so that you can work full time and spending most of what you earn on the day care center’s tuitions and your travel expenses. If that’s the case, you might as well stay home with your child. However, if you do truly need the money, there are usually plenty of day care services available and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one close by that is reasonably priced. 

Different Kinds of Child day Care Centers

While child day care centers are common, there is such a huge demand for this service that there are now quite a variety of options available other than basic day care. These include the following:

• Home child care or family childcare
• Child care services
• Preschool
• Nursery

Home child care tends to be the most popular option because it is generally more affordable and a smaller environment. While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy.

Home child care providers are also more adaptable, generally speaking. This means that if your child likes a certain song sung to them before they take their nap each day, the home care provider is more likely to be willing to do that than someone in a larger day care facility. Most adult home child care providers are parents themselves, making them better able to understand and love your child.

Other Things to Think About

One of the first steps you should take after picking out a family day care center that you think will be suitable for your child is do a little investigating. This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children.
As mentioned earlier, it is a good idea to visit the child day care center that you are considering. You should do this at least a couple of times, and try to go at different times of the day so that you can get a better idea of what kind of schedule they have. This will help you to see how your own child would fit in.
If you are having difficulties finding the appropriate child care environment for your son or daughter, there are some other options. Some people get family and friends to help out, while others hire a nanny. Adult nannies are a good option because they ensure that your child receives personal attention and quality child care. However, this also means that your child will not receive as much social interaction since he or she won’t have other children to play with like in a family day care center.

No matter what option you decide to go with, make sure that you know who you are leaving your child with.  Meet them, get to know them, and let your child do the same. Do some research on the internet to make sure that no one has had negative experiences with the day care center you are considering. Check to make sure that they are legally licensed. Once you have done all of this, you can feel more confident and secure in knowing that you have chosen the right day care center for your child.

Switching Day Care Centers

Choosing Another Child Care Provider

So you want to switch day care providers for your kids but you don’t know where to start or what to choose among the plethora of options out there in this world. It is fittingly one of the most important decisions of a young parent’s journey due to the fact that a child’s first formative years up until the age of six is critical. It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame.

First, you must consider the cost of attending some of the more prestigious and rigorous day care provider centers in your area. In some areas, let’s face the reality that the more money per month per child spent; the better the facilities and the educational value experience offered for your child. Things such as using smart boards and I Pad’s to enhance the learning experience is a very real possibility in these places. However, if a parent is budget conscious they can still afford this experience but it would mean cutting back on all or most non-necessity spending. This would include curbing your eating out habits as well as any leisure entertainment or travel activity and place that money instead into your child’s future day care home. If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place.

Secondly, you need to consider your travel times and distance of day care relative to your work and other important places like the hospital, grocery store, bank, and places that you frequent on a daily basis. Is it near enough that you can get to your child should he/she become ill or need special attention so that the day care center can contact you and arrange a meeting with you the same day if needed.

Furthermore, you need to consider the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the day care center provider. Do not underestimate a clean environment for your kid to play and learn in with other kids. Your kid will enjoy making new friends in a clean and safe environment. Plus you as a parent will enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your child will not be being home any unwanted germs and diseases into your house. Parents must also consider if there is a dispute over payment and care; how does the management and staff deal with such requests? If there is a lackadaisical approach to your core issues; then that is a bad prelude of things to come concerning your child’s care. Your child will probably feel like he/she is being neglected or not fed on time and will start to complain to you ever so slightly that something is not right. When they do, do not hesitate to take them out of that day care center and find another one immediately.

In a recessionary economy, it is okay and permissible for both parents and kids to demand the best care for their dollar. Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it!

Child Care Options for Low Income Families

One of the most frustrating aspects of being a working citizen is not having the ability to afford childcare. The majority of day care facilities charge as much as $300 per week for each child. That amount is difficult for middle-class citizens to pay. Low-income families cannot fathom paying such an expense. Luckily, the government and the various states have developed programs that help low-income families get the childcare they deserve. The following is some information on those programs:

Extended Day Program

The extended day program can assist low-income working parents during the regular school year. Many school districts offer this program. The school keeps children before and after school hours for a small monthly fee. A parent can drop a child off as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 6:00 p.m. This program is excellent for low-income workers with daytime weekday jobs. The cost is approximately $150 per month for before and after school. The weekly rate is approximately $37.50, which is extremely competitive.
