Just 4 Kids Preschool provides essential childcare services to working families in Hesperia, California, amid ongoing statewide shortages that leave many parents struggling to find reliable options for their children. With only about 25 percent of children with working parents across the state having access to licensed childcare, the center offers programs designed to support early education and development from infancy through kindergarten. This response to broader industry challenges highlights the role of established providers in addressing community needs.
As a Childcare & Daycare Center in Hesperia, CA, Just 4 Kids Preschool serves children from 6 weeks old, with dedicated programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and private kindergarten. The infant program focuses on daily routines, including feedings, naps, and diaper changes, all tracked through a parent communication app. For toddlers, who range from two to three years old and may not yet be potty trained, activities emphasize outdoor play with equipment such as tricycles, climbers, and slides, alongside indoor learning centers that promote imagination and basic skills. Preschool programs for children ages 3 to 5 who are potty trained incorporate a research-based curriculum that covers math, literacy, and social-emotional development. Private kindergarten extends this foundation, preparing students for future schooling through structured lessons and hands-on experiences.
The curriculum at Just 4 Kids Preschool draws from established educational resources to foster holistic growth. Daily music and dance sessions integrate elements of sound, language, balance, coordination, rhythm, and counting, creating engaging opportunities for children to learn through movement. Outdoor activities take place in shaded playgrounds equipped with misting systems for comfort, along with sand areas, riding toys, blocks, trucks, and balls. On days with inclement weather, indoor gross motor spaces ensure continued physical development. Learning centers encourage role-play, dress-up, pre-reading, pre-writing, and practical life skills, while summer field trips—such as visits to zoos, libraries, and museums—broaden children's horizons. In-house visits from community professionals, including dentists, doctors, firefighters, and police officers, introduce real-world concepts and build a sense of community.
Safety remains a core priority at the center, with 24-hour CCTV monitoring and badge-only access to facilities. Staff-to-child ratios adhere to Title 5 standards: one staff member for every three infants, one for every six toddlers, one for every eight preschoolers, and one for every 12 school-age children. All staff undergo thorough background checks, reference verifications, health examinations, and criminal screenings. Teachers bring experience ranging from three to over 15 years in early education, selected for their dedication to children's well-being. The center operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., accommodating working parents' schedules.
Nutrition plays a key role in the daily routine, with breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided as part of tuition. Meals meet requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through partnership with California's Child and Adult Care Food Program, incorporating organic ingredients where possible. The center pursues grants to enhance meal quality further. Behavior management employs positive redirection techniques, with incident reports shared with parents as needed. Daily updates via the BrightWheel app include photos, activity summaries, and specific details for younger children, such as feeding and nap times.
Parent involvement strengthens the connection between home and school. An open-door policy allows families to observe classrooms and participate in activities. Monthly newsletters, journals, portfolios, and progress reports keep parents informed. Social events, including holiday celebrations for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Easter, and Mother's and Father's Days, encourage family participation and community building. Flexible options, such as sibling and military discounts, drop-in care, and support for families qualifying for state or county subsidies, make services accessible. About one-third of enrolled children receive such assistance. A 14-day money-back guarantee applies to new families, and a referral program offers tuition credits for successful introductions.
These features come at a time when California faces persistent childcare challenges, including a 10 percent drop in providers since the pandemic and rising economic pressures on workers in the field. Surveys indicate that nearly 70 percent of childcare workers struggle with basic needs, contributing to staffing shortages and reduced capacity. In regional areas like those served by Just 4 Kids Preschool, these issues exacerbate the unmet demand for quality care.
"Quality early education sets the foundation for lifelong learning, and centers like ours play a vital role in supporting families during these challenging times," said Alvin, Co-Founder and Educator at Just 4 Kids Preschool.
"Our programs emphasize not just academics but also emotional and social growth, helping children thrive in a safe environment," said Joy, Co-Founder at Just 4 Kids Preschool.
Just 4 Kids Preschool participates in the Department of Education's Quality Counts California program, which rates providers on standards of care and education. This involvement underscores the center's commitment to continuous improvement.
Just 4 Kids Preschool is a family-owned childcare provider serving communities in California, including Hesperia, Corona, Murrieta, and Temecula. Founded by Alvin and Joy, who bring backgrounds in education, philosophy, teaching, and customer service, the center creates nurturing environments rooted in family values. It focuses on safety, open communication, and collaborative efforts to support children's development and family well-being.
