Jungle Junction Family Daycare · Lathrop, CA

FAQs

Common questions, plain answers.

If something isn't here, ask during your tour or by phone: we're a small operation and you'll get a real person every time.

01 What are your hours?

Monday through Friday, 7:00am - 5:30pm. Weekend and single-day care is available by arrangement.

02 How many children do you care for at a time?

As a licensed family daycare, we keep our group small: the kind of small that lets every child be known by name, mood, and comfort. We follow California ratio requirements for our license type.

03 Do you provide meals?

Meals are not included. Parents bring their child's food and bottles or formula each day. See "What should we bring?" below for the full list.

04 What's your sick policy?

Children who are running a fever (100.4°F+), vomiting, or have a contagious illness need to stay home until they're 24 hours symptom-free. We know it's hard, but it keeps the whole group healthy. For a full rundown of symptoms and when to keep your child home, see King County Public Health's "Keep Me Home If..." guide.

05 What should we bring?

Parents bring their child's food and bottles or formula, diapers and wipes, and a change of clothes. We'll walk you through the full list at enrollment.

06 Are you licensed?

Yes. California Family Child Care Home license #393617525, in good standing since 2013. License records are public via the CA Department of Social Services.

07 Do you really speak Spanish all day?

Both languages are part of everyday life here: songs, stories, mealtime, conversation. Children pick up what they pick up, at their own pace. Families don't need to speak Spanish at home for it to benefit their child.

08 Do you accept subsidies?

Yes. We welcome families paying privately as well as families using CalWORKs, Alternative Payment Program (APP), and similar state or county child-care programs.
