Welcome to Elmira's Day Care!
A home away from home in San Diego
Elmira’s Daycare is a family-owned program where children can feel at home while they play, learn, and build friendships. For more than 20 years, we have welcomed San Diego families into a caring environment filled with language, creativity, and everyday discovery.
Our English and Russian program brings together the warmth of home-based care and a thoughtful daily routine. Children have time to explore, express themselves, enjoy the outdoors, and practice the skills that help them become more confident and independent.
A structured curriculum, thoughtfully planned
We follow an established curriculum with a consistent daily schedule, monthly learning themes, and planned, teacher-guided activities. Children take part in English and Russian language learning, early literacy and math, art, music, and social development. Lessons are adapted to their ages and abilities, with time to practice new skills through hands-on activities.
Our day balances focused learning, outdoor movement, creative play, meals, and rest. This steady routine supports confidence, independence, and preparation for the next stage of learning.
Bilingual learning
English and Russian come to life through songs, books, conversation, and daily activities.
Planned lessons & activities
Teacher-guided language, number, art, and music activities build skills step by step, with hands-on practice throughout the day.
Time to move and explore
Our outdoor play space gives children room for active play, nature discoveries, and group movement activities.
Home-cooked meals
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks are part of our daily rhythm, alongside time for rest and quiet activities.
Outdoor play and discovery
Care that supports the whole child
Learning to make a friend, try something new, use kind words, and do a little more independently matters just as much as learning letters and numbers. We support these small but meaningful steps throughout the day.
Come see our daycare
The best way to get to know us is to visit. Meet us, explore the space, and tell us about your child. We can discuss current availability, age groups, and the next steps for enrollment.
