Irma Sandoval founded Irma's Family Child Care in 1992 in College Area, San Diego, and has operated continuously under California Community Care License #376616984 for more than three decades at the Casita Way home near the intersection of College Avenue and Highway 94. The program serves a mixed-age group of children from 12 months through age four in the 92115 ZIP, with a capacity of 14. First dental visits typically fall within the same 12-to-24-month enrollment window, and families in the College Area corridor schedule those milestones at Talmadge Family Dental on El Cajon Boulevard. The curriculum runs a structured morning circle followed by rotating activity stations: arts and crafts, finger-play songs, storytelling, counting exercises, pre-writing practice, and outdoor gross-motor play across two fenced yard areas equipped with climbing gyms, ride-on cars, and sand tables. The program participates in the USDA Child Nutrition Program, providing breakfast, a hot lunch, and an afternoon snack prepared on-site each morning. Irma also serves as a mentor to other family childcare providers across San Diego, a credential that reflects both longevity and peer recognition in the field. The business identifies as Latino-owned and women-owned, and bilingual instruction in English and Spanish is woven into songs, counting, and conversational routines throughout each session. Potty-readiness support and direction-following skills are built into the structure as kindergarten-preparation benchmarks. The home sits near the College Grove Shopping Center, less than two miles from SDSU, in a residential section where families seek both childcare and early academic enrichment. Children aging out of the program and preparing for structured learning environments sometimes begin supplemental math readiness work at Mathnasium in Grantville during their kindergarten year. The large indoor playroom includes a dedicated reading nook, a sensory wall, and a separate quiet-time area with individual cots for afternoon rest.
