About

Home Away From Home Childcare Community in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea neighborhood is a women-owned, Latino-owned family day care established in 2009 on Woodlake Drive. The program enrolls children from infancy through age eight in a structured curriculum combining arts, music, and outdoor activities, building early developmental foundations that precede the pediatric milestone screenings at Children's Primary Care Medical Group. The facility accommodates up to 14 children and incorporates Portuguese-language and Brazilian cultural enrichment into daily programming, reflecting the program's bilingual, multicultural approach. The daycare's emphasis on fine motor skill development and socialization readiness produces measurable school-preparedness outcomes, a developmental continuum also supported by speech and occupational specialists at Nest Pediatric Therapy. Daily programming follows a provider-directed structure including circle time, sensory-based art projects, guided reading, and age-segmented outdoor gross motor activities on the enclosed residential play area.
