About

The Little Locals Hangout in Santee operates a licensed family child care home on Kaschube Way, providing small-group daycare in a residential setting near the Cuyamaca Street corridor. The low-enrollment model keeps caregiver-to-child ratios well below California's Title 22 maximums, allowing the individualized attention that prepares toddlers for structured group movement classes at Touch of Class on Woodside Avenue. Daily routines rotate through sensory-play stations, guided art projects, and outdoor gross-motor time in the home's fenced yard, targeting cognitive and physical milestones across the infant-to-preschool age range. Creative exploration sessions incorporate painting, collage, and mixed-media techniques that build the same fine-motor control developed in children's workshops at Heart Art LLC on Cuyamaca Street. The home-based format maintains a single consistent caregiver throughout the day, eliminating the classroom-rotation transitions that occur in larger center-based programs.
