About

Sandra's Family Child Care in Chula Vista has served military and civilian families from Mission Avenue since the late 1990s, accumulating more than 26 years of continuous licensed childcare operation in the 91911 corridor. The program earned a 2018 Breastfeeding-Supportive Child Care provider-of-the-year distinction — the first Latina recipient of that recognition — honoring on-site lactation support practices that align with the infant-care continuum tracked by pediatricians at Velasco Pediatrics across the South Bay. Care spans infants through school-age children with flexible scheduling that includes part-time, drop-in, after-school, before-school, and weekend options, structured around the irregular duty rotations common among military families stationed near the South Bay. The Mission Avenue location sits between Telegraph Canyon Road and Palomar Street, positioning the daycare within commuter range of both the eastern Eastlake commercial zone and western Chula Vista's Broadway corridor. Children nearing school age often supplement their childcare experience with structured music and creative arts programming at Hollywood Music in the broader Chula Vista enrichment network. The program's infant-care protocol follows California Title 22 infant-feeding and safe-sleep regulations, incorporating breastmilk handling procedures, individualized feeding schedules, and back-to-sleep positioning verified through staff CPR and first-aid certification.
