As the crisis of not enough childcare resources continues in California, one Bay Area mom is hoping to bridge that gap with a daycare out of her home.
“We have a curriculum for infants for toddlers and for preschoolers. And we even like for them to explore and to be exposed and this is really important for them, especially with the little ones for more sensorial activities,” Maribel Aguilar, owner of Apolo Daycare and Preschool , told CBS News Bay Area.
The daycare, located in East Palo Alto, is a Spanish language-immersion program.
“It’s really important for me because I can create that community. And that’s the most important thing in my life, I just want to support and help other people. And I think this job offered me the opportunity to do that,” Aguilar said.
She moved from Mexico to East Palo Alto about two years ago, and wanted to figure out what she could do in her life to help out other parents.
