About Carmel Mountain Kids
Carmel Mountain Kids is a licensed home daycare in the heart of Carmel Mountain Ranch. We provide a nurturing environment where children can explore their talents and learn through play.
At Carmel Mountain Kids, we offer hands-on learning experiences and empower individual exploration. In our Montessori-inspired classroom, the children delve into their surroundings through engaging projects, artistic expression, interactions with nature, and various creative activities.
Our Teachers
Our teachers are passionate about nurturing lifelong learners. They possess a genuine love for children, along with the understanding and insight into each child's unique developmental needs. Taking the time to guide each child, they open up a world of play and discovery in a way that's uniquely tailored to them. Whether it's building towers in the construction corner, engaging in imaginative play with friends, or exploring the wonders of a science experiment, your child will have so much fun that they won't even realize the valuable skills they're developing

Our Reviews
"I am amazed at the incredible growth and development of my 2.5 year old son over the past six months at this daycare. The owner and staff have created an environment where my child feels safe, loved, and encouraged to explore and learn. I love the daycare’s educational activities which have played a significant role in my child's progress."
"I couldn't be happier with Carmel Mountain Kids. The owner, Polina truly goes above and beyond to create a nurturing environment. The teachers are incredibly caring, and it's evident that they genuinely love what they do. My child is always excited to go there and has made really good friends. I feel fortunate to have found such a loving and supportive daycare for my little one."
"If I could give them more than 5 stars, I definitely would!
Miss Polina creates a fun, interesting and caring daycare. I love all the creative arts and crafts! Her home daycare is well-organized and clean all the time as I step by. Every meal, she provides a source of protein, vegetable and carbs."

"Carmel Mountain Kids is the best! My 2 year old son loves going here every day. I toured many daycares and childcare centers, and none of them felt as homey and loving as CMK. I love that they emphasize outdoor time, have fun, creative educational themes every week, and have such a great variety of arts and crafts and learning activities."

About the Director
My passion and love for children is what lead me to open my center. With a Bachelor's in Business Marketing, I've worked with incredible people, but it was becoming a parent that ignited my passion for early childhood education. Drawing from my background as a former USA National Team Member of Rhythmic Gymnastics, I understand the significance of motor skill development. At Carmel Mountain Kids, we offer diverse programs to foster intellectual, social, and physical growth. I can't wait to meet you and have you be part of our Carmel Mountain Kids family!
