About Us

  • Hello and welcome to Just Like Home Too!

    We believe that the first five years of a child’s life are very important to his future growth and development. It is our mission to provide a safe and nurturing yet stimulating and fun environment.

    Just Like Home daycares have been family owned and operated in the Valley since 1989. We have an 8,000 square foot facility housing 11 separate classrooms for infants through 12 year olds. We are licensed and regulated by a variety of different agencies including the Arizona Department of Health Services (Child Care Licensure), the Arizona Department of Education, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), and Maricopa County Environmental Food Services. We are also happy to be a recipient of grants, services and scholarships provided by First Things First-United Way.

  • Our Philosophy

    We believe that the first five years of a child’s life are very important to his future growth and development. It is our mission to provide a safe and nurturing yet stimulating and fun environment. We want your child to feel safe enough to try new things, explore their world while practicing self-discipline. When they move on to elementary school, we hope they take with them a thirst for knowledge, a strong curiosity and an ability to work well with others.
  • Our Staff

    We maintain a full time staff of teachers who have been with us for years, all of whom have background checks through the Department of Public Safety. Our teachers are TB (tuberculosis) skin tested, have 18 hours of training per year, a current food handlers card and are all CPR/First Aid certified. Almost half of our teachers have been with us for more than 5 years!
