A place where children build their confidence, independence and a love for learning to go on their next journey, petite or big, feeling secured and ready.
At Petite Journey, we see the early childhood years as a precious time during which a child’s mind is “hungry” to experience and learn. To meet the needs of our little students, we have planned and developed a mix of play-based and academic approaches that is enriching, stimulating, and age appropriate. We provide a nurturing and engaging environment that fosters the whole development of each child, offering high-quality care while promoting a love for learning, curiosity, and social-emotional growth, ensuring a solid foundation for their future success while respecting every child’s uniqueness.
Positive discipline forms the cornerstone of our approach when working with young children. We firmly believe in empowering each child by fostering an environment where their voice is not only heard but valued. By actively listening to their thoughts, feelings, and concerns, we provide them with a sense of importance that boosts their self-esteem and confidence. Through positive guidance and understanding, we aim to instill in them a sense of responsibility and accountability for their actions, helping them develop crucial life skills in a supportive atmosphere. By prioritizing open communication and collaboration, we create a foundation upon which our young learners can grow into self-assured, respectful, and empathetic individuals.

My journey in the field of early childhood education, has been a heartfelt exploration of the incredible potential each child holds.

Our daycare’s spacious, sunny backyard and proximity to beautiful parks like Alamo Square and the Panhandle allow children to enjoy enriching daily and weekly outdoor experiences. In our own natural environment, children engage in activities that strengthen fine and gross motor skills, while weekly walks to local parks provide fresh perspectives, socialization, and valuable time in nature. Outings are designed for both fun and learning, fostering curiosity, community awareness, and life skills like safety—all while children wear bright yellow vests for visibility and travel securely. Our outdoor program makes every moment outside both safe and enriching, helping children explore and grow with confidence
