A Master Educator and Second Family Choosing a childcare provider is one of the most significant decisions a parent can make, and looking back, placing our son with Betty Mondragon was the best choice we ever made. Our son attended Betty’s from the time he was 8 months old until he transitioned to Kindergarten at Paul Ecke Central at age 5, and the impact she had on his life is immeasurable. Masterful Childcare & Bilingual Foundations Betty is truly a master at her craft. She provides a nurturing, warm environment that feels like a second home, but with the intentionality of a high-level educator. One of the greatest gifts she gave our son was the gift of language. Under her care, he didn’t just learn a few words; he developed English and Spanish skills that put him miles ahead for Kindergarten readiness. In fact, he left her care at age 5 with the accent of a native speaker. He entered the Dual Language Program not only knowing all letters, sounds in both English and Spanish and being able to write them with the proper pencil grip, he knew words, how to communicate and understood another language. A Legacy of Success The foundation Betty built has lasted a lifetime. Because of the linguistic start he received in her care: *He successfully entered the Dual Language Immersion Program. *He is now a student at La Costa Canyon High School where he will begin the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Spanish program next year and earn the Seal of Biliteracy on his diploma. Beyond the Classroom It wasn’t just about the "academics." Our son absolutely adored Betty. He grew up loving her home-cooked meals and, more importantly, feeling the genuine love she has for every child in her care. Even now, years later, we still visit her regularly. She isn’t just a former provider; she is family. If you are looking for a caregiver who will nourish your child’s mind, palate, and heart, look no further than Betty Mondragon. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

I cannot recommend Beatriz Mondragon Family Child Care highly enough. Prior to Betty, we were with other childcare providers but removed our kids as soon as we could, as it is very challenging to find a safe and caring in-home daycare you can trust. We have known Betty for nearly 5 years now and she has been taking care of both of our sons since they were 4 months old. Our older sons is now 4 years old and still loves to visit Betty and fondly remembers his time with her. Betty is very attentive to the kids' needs and truly cares about each one. Her home is warm, welcoming, and clean, and the kids have plenty of wonderful toys and and outside space to be. As a mom, it is very hard to trust someone else to take care of your baby, but when my children are with Betty, I feel at ease knowing they are in excellent hands - safe and well loved.

I can only say amazing things about Betty's childcare. Our daughter was with her for almost a full year - and we would have stayed forever but we moved out of state. Betty kept her place extremely clean and organized, she provided nutritious homemade meals and snacks, and had many activities both indoor and outdoor. Our daughter's development improved tremendously when she was with Betty; speaking both Spanish and English as well as her socialization with other children. Having our daughter in safe and healthy environment with Betty offered every parent's dream of peace of mind. Thank you for all the wonderful memories Betty

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Betty Childcare! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a sense of warmth and care that is truly unparalleled. Betty is not only professional but also incredibly nurturing, always ensuring that each child feels valued and loved. The facility itself is clean, bright, and equipped with a wide range of educational toys and materials. My child always comes home excited to share all the new things they've learned and the fun activities they participated in. Betty goes above and beyond to create a safe and stimulating environment. The outdoor play area is another highlight. It’s spacious and well-maintained, providing plenty of opportunities for the children to explore and engage in physical activities. Choosing Betty Childcare has been one of the best decisions we've made for our family. Knowing that our child is in such capable and caring hands allows us to go about our day with complete confidence. Thank you, Betty, for creating a home away from home where our child can thrive! -Matteo, Rachel & Giulia L.
