Welcome to Dena's Family Daycare! There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn a little bit about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to connect.
Dena's Family Daycare was established in 2020 during the beginning of the COVID Pandemic. The owner, Dena Idarola, decided to take a leap of faith and leave her job as an office manager to open a home daycare. Opening a home-based business enabled Dena to provide financial, emotional and academic support for her family, as well as quality childcare for children from her community.
Experience: Dena is the oldest of 7 kids and spent a good part of her childhood helping care for her siblings. She is used to caring for multiple kids at a time, as well as having learned the patience to juggle the chaos that caring for multiple children can present. Prior to having children of her own, Dena has had the opportunity to provide care for children of other families (non-live-in part-time nanny for previous employer) as well as providing childcare for friends and referrals. Dena also has two daughters, ages 7 and 9, that love to interact with their daycare family and love to help! Dena's home is built on a foundation of love, laughter and is maintained with experience and community.
Education: Dena has a bachelor's degree in business management. She is also certified in pediatric first aid & CPR as well as preventive health and safety practices, as required by the California Department of Social Services - Childcare Licensing Division.
We offer limited spots for infant care, ensuring that infants get the individual attention they need. We also offer part-time spots which is a rare find within our community.
In effort to keep everyone healthy we are implementing daily temperature checks for children and increasing cleaning and sanitization of items and rooms.
One hour in-person meeting/tour of daycare: Enrollment folder containing all required forms will be given out when enrollment fee is paid. *No space is guaranteed.
