Small-group care in Novato—where curiosity is celebrated and every child feels at home. Experience the warmth of family daycare with professional standards.
My love for caring for children began within my own family, with the arrival of my grandchildren. Being part of their growth, giving them love, attention, and care made me realize how special this calling truly is. And little by little, I began to wonder: why not extend this love and care to other families as well?
Over the years, I had the opportunity to work in daycare settings and also care for children within wonderful families, and each experience only made my passion grow stronger. Every child I met touched my heart in a unique way and confirmed what I already felt deep inside — caring for children is what I truly love to do.
Flavia's Little Sprouts was born from this love: a warm, family-centered space created with affection, patience, kindness, and genuine care. My goal is for every child to feel safe, welcomed, loved, and happy here — just like family.
