Nurturing little shooting stars with love, safety & play-based learning.
Shintiara’s Little Shooting Starz LLC is a cozy family child care home in Stockton, CA, where children are encouraged to explore, imagine, and grow at their own pace in a calm, caring environment.
A home away from home for your child.
At Shintiara’s Little Shooting Starz LLC, we believe that every child is unique, curious, and full of potential. Our family child care setting allows us to truly know each child, partner closely with families, and create a peaceful rhythm that feels like home.
Our cozy child care home is thoughtfully arranged into inviting spaces for reading, building, pretend play, art, and quiet rest. Soft colors, natural light, and simple materials help children feel calm and secure from the moment they walk in.
- Small group sizes for more one-on-one attention.
- Consistent caregiver your child can trust and bond with.
- Daily routines that balance play, rest, meals, and learning.
- Gentle guidance that supports social and emotional growth.
We see ourselves as partners in your child’s early years. We listen, share updates, and honor your family’s routines and values, so your child experiences a smooth transition between home and care.
Care for every stage of early childhood.
Children grow quickly, and their needs change with every stage. Our flexible, home-based setting allows us to adapt activities, routines, and expectations to support each child’s age, temperament, and interests.
Soft, responsive care with plenty of cuddles, tummy time, songs, and quiet moments. We follow each baby’s individual feeding and sleep cues while gradually introducing simple playtime.
Curious toddlers love to move and explore. We offer sensory play, music, simple art, and lots of language-rich interaction to support early communication and independence.
Preschoolers learn through hands-on experiences. We build early skills in counting, pre-reading, problem-solving, and cooperation through playful, age-appropriate activities.
A calm place to rest, have a snack, work on homework, and unwind with games, crafts, or outdoor play after a long school day.
A gentle rhythm that children can count on.
Young children thrive when they know what to expect. Our daily schedule balances active play with quiet moments, indoor learning with fresh air, and group time with individual attention.
