Why Mama Daycare is Perfect for After-School Care

Since 2023, we’ve been helping Menifee families bridge that gap between school dismissal and parent pickup. Working parents need more than just babysitting – they need enriching care that keeps kids engaged, happy, and growing during those important after-school hours.

State-Licensed Quality

We’re fully licensed by California Department of Social Services, which means we meet strict safety and educational standards for after-school programs. Regular inspections keep us accountable, and our compliance record gives you confidence in our quality care.

Skilled & Caring Staff

Our team is trained in child development and knows exactly how to engage school-aged kids. Current CPR and First Aid certifications are just the beginning – they genuinely care about making every child’s afternoon awesome.

Low Ratios for Focused Attention

We maintain 10:1 ratios for ages 5-12 because older kids still need individual support. Whether it’s homework help or resolving playground conflicts, your child gets the attention they deserve.

Enriching After-School Activities

Homework comes first, then the real fun begins! Arts, crafts, music, outdoor play, and creative projects keep kids engaged while building skills they’ll use forever. We adapt our play-based approach for school-aged children who need different challenges.

Secure & Welcoming Space

Security starts at our Silver Summit St location with controlled entry and continues with strict pickup protocols. Our emergency plans are practiced regularly, and our clean, safe environment gives parents peace of mind.

Healthy After-School Snacks

Growing kids need good fuel for busy afternoons. We serve nutritious snacks that actually taste good, and we can accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies with advance notice.

Connected to Menifee's Community

We partner with local elementary schools to make pickup seamless and participate in community events throughout the year. We’re not just another childcare center – we’re your neighbors who care about Menifee families.

Flexible After-School Schedules

We’re open Monday through Friday from school dismissal until 5:30 PM, with flexible options that work for different work schedules. Need early pickup some days? No problem – we work with you.

Exciting Activity Spaces

Our 40 interior spaces include dedicated homework stations, art areas, game zones, and quiet reading corners. Outside, age-appropriate playgrounds let kids burn energy safely. Every space is designed with school-aged children in mind.

Mama Daycare: Your After-School Partner

Mama Daycare opened in 2023 because we saw a real need for quality after-school care in Menifee. Too many parents were stressed about what their kids were doing between 3 PM and 6 PM, and we wanted to create something better.

Our mission is simple: provide a safe, engaging place where school-aged children can decompress, get homework help, and have fun with friends. We believe the after-school hours are just as important as school time – they’re when kids build friendships, explore creativity, and develop independence. Our qualified staff understands that 8-year-olds need different things than 12-year-olds, and we adapt our approach accordingly.

During my time in California, I was on the lookout for a daycare and came across Mama Daycare. It was a remarkable experience—children were deeply engaged, playing enthusiastically with their peers. They were immersed in a variety of activities, from constructing intricate block structures to engaging in imaginative play with dolls and action figures. Some children were focused on solving puzzles, while others were outside, energetically playing games like tag and hide-and-seek. The environment was both clean and welcoming.

I was particularly impressed by the attentiveness of the staff. They were extremely vigilant, closely supervising the children to ensure their safety. The kids participated in a wide range of activities, including arts and crafts, block building, and imaginative play. They also enjoyed storytime sessions and had access to a secure, fenced playground for outdoor play. These activities not only entertained the children but also contributed significantly to their cognitive and social development. The variety of educational toys and the well-integrated lesson plans stood out to me as well. I would definitely recommend this daycare.

Ms. Sondra and the staff's meticulous cleanliness ensured spotless play areas and classrooms. This created a safe and healthy environment where children could play and learn without illness. As a result, both children and parents felt more comfortable and secure. Her staff are wonderful. They take very careful care of the kids, engaging in activities, play-acting, and showing them lots of love. The staff organizes a variety of engaging activities, including arts and crafts sessions where children can express their creativity. They also conduct interactive storytelling sessions that captivate kids' imaginations and foster reading love. Additionally, they facilitate outdoor playtime, encouraging physical activity and social interaction among the children. The daycare places a strong emphasis on emotional development by creating a warm and supportive atmosphere where children feel valued and understood. The staff are trained to recognize and respond to children's emotional needs, helping them navigate their feelings and build resilience. Through guided social interactions and emotional coaching, the daycare fosters a sense of empathy and emotional intelligence in the children. If you are looking to enhance your child's education this daycare is the place for your child. I will recommend this daycare. You won't regret it.

Mama daycare has been amazing for my daughter. We have seen so much growth since enrolling her. Ms. Sondra along with her assistant Ms. Angie do a great job making sure the kids are taken care of and teaching them a curriculum that gets them ready for kindergarten. I would highly recommend this daycare!

We’re really blessed to have found this family owned business. They put my first time mom worries at ease. We looked and interviewed with other daycares but they do not compare. My little one has thrived since he started going there. His speech and social skills have grown, not to mention his intellect with all their educational activities. Ms. Sondra and her staff are all absolute gems. They really care about their kids.

Response from the owner 06:27 09 Aug 24

Thank you for your reply, it was a pleasure to have such a wonderful child in our daycare. He was so polite and respectful. I loved his enthusiasm.

MAMA Day Care has been around for years. Ms. Sondra and her staff are known by many families in the community for providing care and support for children of all ages. From the very first consultation, it's understood that safety is of utmost priority. The children here have happy faces and cheesy grins, and yet the programs and services offered to prepare them for kindergarten is comprehensive. It's a challenge these days to find a good day care… MAMA Day Care is highly recommended.

Response from the owner 06:38 09 Aug 24

My husband and I have recently moved to Menifee and were searching for an in-home daycare for our 2 year old. We are so happy we found MAMA's Daycare. Sondra is amazing with our son, she is very patient with him and I love that she has open communication with parents. The space is kept organized and clean, the days are structured with times to learn and play, nap time happens mid-day and food is provided for your little one.

Ms. Sondra has been in childcare for over 17 years and her thorough expertise of teaching children is why my husband and I chose her daycare. My son started MaMas Day Care in 2011, when he was 3 years old; He learned how to write, read and spell his name. Still, to this day, I refer ALL my family and friends to her daycare because she actually cares for the kids and takes time to teach them the necessary skills that are needed at such a young age.

Response from the owner 06:21 09 Aug 24

Thank you for your honesty. We enjoyed serving you and your child.
