More Than Daycare โ€”
A Second Home

Angelina's Daycare was founded on a simple belief: every child deserves the kind of care you'd give your own. What started as a passion for nurturing has grown into a trusted cornerstone of the Atwater community โ€” a place where children feel safe, valued, and endlessly curious.

We're a small, home-based program intentionally kept intimate so no child ever feels like a number. With a maximum of 12 children at any time, each one receives the personal attention they need to thrive โ€” emotionally, socially, and academically.

Everything You
Want to Know

We care for children from 6 weeks old through age 12. Our programs are divided into age-appropriate groups: Infant (6 weeksโ€“1 year), Toddler (1โ€“3 years), Preschool (3โ€“5 years), and School Age (5โ€“12 years). Each group has activities and routines designed specifically for that developmental stage.

Our standard hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We understand that families have varying schedules, so we offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times within that window. Extended hours may be available for working parents โ€” just ask during your tour.

We'd love to welcome your family! The first step is scheduling a tour so you can see our home and meet us in person. Call us at (120) 935-0618 or fill out the contact form below. We'll arrange a convenient time, and you can ask whatever questions come to mind โ€” no pressure, just a friendly visit.

Yes! We prepare breakfast, lunch, and two snacks daily โ€” all homemade in our kitchen. We use fresh, wholesome ingredients and accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies. We ask that parents share any food sensitivities during enrollment so we can plan accordingly.

Absolutely. Angelina's Daycare is fully licensed by the State of California and carries comprehensive liability insurance. All staff hold current CPR and First Aid certifications, and we maintain all required child-to-adult ratios. We welcome parents to review our licensing documentation at any time.

We ask for two weeks' notice for cancellations or withdrawals. For missed days, we maintain a flexible sick-day policy โ€” we know children get sick! We encourage open communication about any scheduling changes so we can plan accordingly and ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
