Our Story

A Tradition of Care Rooted in Long Beach

Leyva Family Child Care was founded on a simple conviction: every child deserves a space that feels like home. Located on East Willow Street in the heart of Long Beach, our licensed program has been a steady presence in the community for over ten years.

We believe that early childhood is not merely preparation for the future — it is life itself, rich with discovery. Our approach blends structured learning with the freedom to explore, guided by patience, respect, and a deep understanding of each child's unique pace.

Whether your child is taking their first steps in a group setting or refining the social skills that will carry them into kindergarten, we meet them where they are — with warmth, consistency, and unwavering attention.

Our Approach

What Sets Us Apart

Home-Like Environment

Our program is designed to feel like an extension of your own home — intimate, comfortable, and safe. Children settle quickly and feel secure in a setting that prioritizes emotional well-being alongside learning.

Low Child-to-Caregiver Ratios

We maintain small group sizes so every child receives individualized attention. Our caregivers know each child's strengths, interests, and areas of growth — and they build genuine relationships with families.

Developmentally Grounded Curriculum

Our activities are thoughtfully planned to support cognitive, social, and emotional development. Through play-based learning, creative expression, and guided exploration, children build the foundations for lifelong curiosity.

Nutritious Meals Included

We provide breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks prepared fresh daily. Our menu meets state nutritional guidelines and accommodates dietary needs, ensuring children are fueled and focused throughout the day.

Flexible Scheduling

We understand that every family's rhythm is different. Full-time, part-time, and half-day options are available to accommodate working parents and varying schedules throughout the Long Beach community.

Health & Safety First

State-licensed and regularly inspected, our facility meets all health and safety regulations. First aid certified staff, secure entry, sanitized spaces, and clear emergency protocols give parents lasting peace of mind.

Words from Long Beach Parents

Choosing Leyva Family Child Care was one of the best decisions we've made as parents. Our daughter went from being shy and hesitant to blossoming into a confident, curious child. The care here is genuine — you can see it in the way the staff speaks to each child.

What stands out most is the consistency. My son knows exactly what to expect each morning, and that routine has helped him thrive in ways we didn't anticipate. The teachers remember the little things — his favorite book, how he feels on tough days — and it makes all the difference.

As a single parent, finding childcare that felt like a true partnership was essential. Leyva Family Child Care communicates openly, welcomes our questions, and treats our son with the same warmth they'd give their own family. We couldn't ask for more.

The transition from home to daycare was seamless. From day one, our boy felt safe and happy. The small group size means he's never lost in the crowd, and the curriculum has given him a head start that shows in his kindergarten readiness.
