I have openings in my home daycare. I am in Fountain Valley right off the 405 on Brookhurst and Slater. I provide food (mostly homeade and organic), I can accomodate special diets, we do lots of things throughout the day including: learning time, painting, exercise, dancing, baking, play time, sprinklers, etc.
The reason I decided to do home daycare was because I originally had planned to go back to work after my 4-year-old daughter turned 3 and when I put her in pre-school (tried two separate well known schools) I couldn't believe what I saw. Also, she was sick constantly as they are exposed to so many kids and germs, not just the kids in her class. I didn't realize that she would be exposed and playing with approximately 60 -100 different kids on a daily basis. At recess, lunch and afternoon playtime they are all put together.
I also felt she wasn't looked after enough. She would cry when I picked her up if I didn't bring water (and we lived literally five minutes away) because she didn't drink anything ALL day long. Her lunch that I packed her was barely touched almost every day and she'd be starving when I got her. I just felt like there was no personal attention, and at these young ages children need to be reminded even to go to the bathroom let alone eating and making sure they get enough to drink. ( :
There is so much more that I won't bore you with.
