Established in 2001, My Place, Just for Kids Daycare & Preschool in Santee holds California Community Care License #376617805 for a large family child care home enrolling up to fourteen children between twelve months and five years of age. The themed weekly curriculum integrates sign language, Spanish-language instruction, arts and crafts, and music-and-movement sessions, building the same pre-academic skills that Mathnasium on Mission Gorge Road reinforces through structured math instruction for older students. In 2007 the program expanded from eight to fourteen slots and added a dedicated Pre-K track targeting kindergarten-readiness benchmarks in letter recognition, number sense, and social turn-taking. On-site child-development students assist lead educators under California Title 22 staffing requirements, and enrolled families coordinate pediatric checkups with nearby providers including Children's Primary Care Medical Group Santee on Cuyamaca Street. The facility participates in the Child Nutrition Program of Southern California, providing USDA-compliant breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack service to all enrolled children.
