A warm, home-style childcare where every child is known by name, nurtured with patience, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.
About Us
Felts Family Day Care is a licensed home-based childcare program serving families in Richmond and the surrounding East Bay communities. We believe the best early learning happens in a setting that feels like home — small groups, consistent caregivers, and a pace that respects each child's individuality.
Our program offers a balanced blend of structured activities and free play, designed to build confidence, curiosity, and social skills during those formative years.
Programs
Each program is tailored to the developmental needs of its age group, with activities that spark wonder and build foundational skills.
Gentle routines, sensory exploration, and early language development in a safe, stimulating environment built for little adventurers.
Pre-literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning through play-based curricula that prepare children for kindergarten and beyond.
Homework support, creative projects, and outdoor time — a calm, supervised space for school-age children after the bell rings.
Our Approach
Our philosophy is simple: children thrive when they feel safe, valued, and free to explore.
We encourage children to try, to choose, and to solve problems on their own — always with a trusted adult nearby to guide and support.
Play is the work of childhood. Every game, craft, and outdoor adventure is an opportunity to build cognitive, physical, and social skills.
We see parents as the primary caregivers and ourselves as partners. Open communication and shared goals keep families connected.
As a Richmond-based program, we celebrate the diversity and spirit of our neighborhood — bringing local culture and real-world experiences into the classroom.
Our Space
Bright rooms, natural light, and thoughtfully arranged spaces that invite exploration and imagination.
Families
Hearing from the families we serve is the greatest reward.
Felts Family Day Care has been a blessing for our family. My daughter comes home happy every day, and we love the personal attention she receives.
The home-like atmosphere makes such a difference. My son adjusted quickly and has grown so much socially and emotionally since joining.
Knowing my children are in a safe, loving environment gives us peace of mind. The staff truly cares about each child's individual needs.
