Los Niños del Valle is an Arizona state licensed childcare center offering daycare for children twenty-four months to thirty–six months (Terrific Twos Program) and three years to five years old (Preschool Program). Los Niños has provided daycare for families in the area since 1975. Intergenerational programming distinguishes day care services at Casa where the facility was specifically designed to accommodate this valuable program integration between Los Niños del Valle Pre School , the Adult Day Health Care Program and senior activities at the Casa Community Center.
Los Niños del Valle child-care provides comprehensive, curriculum-based programs for young children. Offering a maximum of 10 ½ hours of care a day, Monday through Friday, families know their children are receiving quality care in a safe environment. Each day we provide a nutritious lunch and two snacks, a thematic curriculum, structured play and professional care.
Recognizing the extensive values of intergenerational interaction,
we ensure that the children of Los Niños del Valle, together
with older adults from Green Valley, participate in a variety
of activities that are fun and growth oriented for both age groups.
Currently, the children of Los Niños and the adults of
Casa de Esperanza’s Adult Day Health Care
and the Casa Community Center join
together for daily activities. The children also visit adults
who are residents at La Posada, a continuum Care Facility. These
visits combine socialization with mutually enjoyable activities,
such as sharing music, exercise, gardening, reading, conversation,
creating arts & crafts projects and celebrating special holiday
events.
Older adult volunteers are scheduled on a weekly basis to spend quality time at Los Niños del Valle as part of our intergenerational programming. Additional volunteers are scheduled for special assignments such as art, music, and storytellers. Both adults and children benefit greatly from these activities. These volunteers help lower our student to adult ratio, which increases the level of quality offered in the childcare we provide.
We are fortunate to have a conscientious teaching and care-giving staff. All staff members have first aid and C.P.R. training and have been finger printed for screening prior to being hired. The curriculum and daily schedule are carefully planned and children benefit from the staff’s continuing education, training, and experience.Tuition fees are as follows:
