Enrollment Information

 Our CHILD LED PLAY BASED CHILD CARE has openings for children 3 MONTHS -5 YRS. Known future spaces are reserved with an enrollment contract and $790 HOLDING FEE and $100 registration fee. When available full and part time spaces are for all children. Our goal is to accommodate your day care needs and give you as much time with your child via our flexibility. Contracts are reviewed before enrollment is accepted to make sure your schedule fits with ours to insure LC meets the State of CA capaacity & staff regulations.

 All children attending must be vaccinated. CDC has changed the Covid  Vaccination routine recommendation. Please inform yourself.

Expecting parents tour and may reserve the next known future space with a $790 HOLDING FEE. The next known infant spaces will be available August 2025. Enrollments changes occur in our mobile society. Holding fee places your space in line if an earlier opening occurs. California State Community Care Licensing allows a Large Family Child Care a maximum of 4 infants (children under 2) with 8 children over 2  for a maximum of 12 children. Little Crumbles is licensed for 14 which reduces infant spaces to 3. Part time Infant spaces require 3 Days enrollment and 6 hour daily minimum. Contracts are reviewed before enrollment is accepted.

HOLDING FEE POLICY guarantees your space, meaning no more waiting for a call back for a space. We will stay in contact with you. Your child will be in line for an earlier opening if one becomes available. You are not required to take an earlier opening to keep your space.

Clients have reserved a year in advance. Little Crumbles does not keep a wait list.

Hire a nanny and start a Nanny Share. Reserve your future space for your child at Little Crumbles now as limited available day care may continue when you are looking for 2 year old care.

LC has 10 paid holidays. Owners vacations are announced in advance and LC will be well staffed. Tuition is due for all missed days. If LC has to close for a health concern such as Covid-19 tuition is due to keep your child's space. LC is A SMALL BUSINESS WITH A HEART.
