About

Camp Carrillo Daycare in Chula Vista is a play-based home day care on Myra Avenue, organized as a California LLC since May 2024 and situated in the residential corridor between Hilltop Drive and Bonita Road. The philosophy treats play as the primary engine of cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth, with child-led exploration driving each session through unstructured materials and imaginative-play zones—a kinesthetic learning approach that builds the body awareness extended by structured tumbling at Compass Gymnastics. A dedicated reading area anchors the indoor space, while a fenced backyard provides room for outdoor gross-motor activities, gardening, and sensory exploration under direct supervision. The Myra Avenue location sits in a residential neighborhood flanked by an elementary and a middle school, within the 91910 zip code west of I-805. Imaginative play stations supply free-form props, costumes, and building materials that encourage problem-solving and language development, feeding the same creative-construction instincts nurtured by specialty children's retailers such as Little Kid's Wear. Each session alternates between child-directed free-play periods and teacher-facilitated small-group instruction covering early literacy, numeracy concepts, and STEAM activities using non-toxic, CPSC-compliant art materials.
