Hi-- I’m Trisha-- I have enjoyed running a Large Family Daycare in my home for over 8 years and I can’t imagine doing anything else hat would be as satisfying or could make me happier.  I believe Children flourish when they are free to discover and that it’s important to offer unique educational experiences in a safe, creative and supportive environment. My program promotes an atmosphere in which each child’s individuality is recognized and encouraged. Opportunities for indoor and outdoor play and development of manipulative and large motor skills are provided. I also believe immensely in the power of learning through play. You would be astonished at all the amazing things that children can learn and teach one another by just playing. I have a large fenced yard with lots of toys for the little ones--Large inside playroom--Age Appropriate Pre-school and after school Activities--State Approved Food Program.

Matthews Family Daycare (aka) ABC Hugs & Kids© is NAFCC accredited through the National Association for Family Child Care. I have an Early Childhood Development Certification (CDA). Besides the early childhood classes, I have over 320 documented hours of training in different areas of childcare and business including – Infant/Child CPR and First Aid. In June of 2004 I completed the Advanced Family Childcare Training Program offered by FIRST FIVE-Children and Families Commission for San Bernardino County.
