We love when families come to visit us. Please complete the form below to schedule your tour with us.
We accept applications on a rolling basis but we encourage you to tour our home, meet with myself and ask any questions you have in-person. Children are always invited to family tours!
We currently have 2 slots open for preschool aged children 2 to 5 years old.
I can not guarantee that there will be a spot for your child but will do my best to make sure you know the timing of when slots are opening. Siblings of enrolled children are given first enrollment priority.


We also maintain that at anytime during the year we might be closed for 2 personal days with reasonable notice.

The butterflies is a drop in care program available between 08:30 am and 05:30 pm, Monday to Friday. This program offers flexible days and hours, but I do request that you provide a set schedule for the month if you can. The hourly rate is $12/hr. Our teacher to child ratio is 1:4.

Kelly is the mom of two beautiful children aged 7 and 2. She is patient and kind, enjoys teaching and playing with children and is a “hands-on” mom. She is background checked with the DOJ and FBI, certified in First Aid & Pediatric CPR, and Preventative Health Practices. She cares deeply about her role in supporting busy families and includes all meals and snacks in her tuition rates.
We hope to provide nurturing and individualised care. We believe that children who experience deep relationships and comfortable learning environments that mimic home-life learn and grow into brave, social and confident learners.


Located in the Live Oak neighborhood of Santa Cruz Pitter-Patter Daycare is close to two beautiful parks: Frederick Street Playground overlooking the harbor and the sandy Jose Avenue Playground. The relaxed family vibe of Live Oak offers a comforting familiar feel for children in my care. Your child’s days will offer a mix of outside time with adventures to the park and backyard baseball, and comfortable indoor play time with a mix of educational activities and social interactions.
