Caring Connection Children's Center

Day Care

Caring Connection Children's Center opened in April of 1996 and has provided thousands of families with a loving and safe environment for their child to learn and grow. Our J-Street location opened in 2013 and has quickly become as beloved as our original location. We teach the Safe, Kind & Clean Philosophy, and our child-focused teachers do a great job of making your child's time at Caring Connection enriching and fun. From the outside, we still look like one of the neighborhood homes - but come inside and be inspired!

Julie has been a passionate Early Childhood Educator and Owner/Director of Caring Connection Children's Center for almost 30 years. She is the author of two books, "Enlightened Discipline" and "Teens! Change is Your Choice," and she travels throughout California and to Europe to speak to parents and educators. Known for her humor and wit, she leaves audiences dazzled by her energy and ideas. Read more

    My son has been going there since he was 4 months old. He has grown up with the same teachers- there is very little turnover with the core group of teachers. They celebrate every milestone with me, and work with him on age-appropriate skills- drinking from a cup, walking, talking, etc. Every day when I walk in with him he smiles as soon as he sees his "friends" and waves and can't wait to wiggle out of my arms and join it. As much as I hate having to take him to daycare, I love that he is so happy.

    Love Caring Connection! My son went there and we both had a wonderful experience. He loved the teachers and he was hands on learning every day! And they always had me feeling welcomed and a party of always inviting me into the little actions of the children.. At times I wish I could go back to those moments to enjoy them all over again.

    I have taken both of my now teenage daughter to this daycare/preschool when they were little. I loved it and so did my girls. Julie's teachings are the best! Safe, clean & kind isn't that what we want our children to grow up learning? I would recommend this place to any & everyone.

    My son Branden has attended this school since he was about 9 months old ! He LOVES IT ! the teachers Linda and Melanie are AWSOME ! I love them and not to mention Julie is so amazing for running such an AWSOME daycare . I'm sad it's almost time for my son to leave and attend kindergarten :( they are hands on and very passionate about the children. Even when I moved out of the area I still drove 15- 20 mins so my son can attend daycare here ! They have worked with me financially over the years and really helped me out a lot . I appreciate everything these teachers have done for Branden and I'm confident he will adapt well to kindergarten all thanks to these guys ! LOVE YOU GUYS !! YOUR THE BEST !

    Caring Connection is a caring educational environment with plenty of room for growth and exploration. My daughter has attended the Center for two years and has loved every minute of it. She has perfected life skills (cleaning up, pouring milk, using a cup and fork, using the potty, kind words) as well as achieved many educational milestones (animals, colors, numbers, alphabet, huge vocabulary, songs) at 2 1/2. I know she is thriving in this environment and I look forward to the next thing she will teach me.
