Licensee: Shadi Mirshahi · Est. 2018
Happy Palm is a licensed California family child care home (#304313679) led personally by its Montessori-trained owner, Shadi Mirshahi. It pairs a small group (capacity 14) with clear policies for safety, supervision, meals, naps, cleaning, illness and emergencies — plus a 5.0-star Google rating across 34 reviews (at the time of writing) since 2018.
Children are actively supervised at all times in a fully child-proofed home. Outlets covered, gates secured, hazards stored away, and a safe, enclosed outdoor play area.
As a licensed family child care home, we keep our group small (capacity 14). Small groups mean faster responses, more cuddles, and care tailored to each child.
A predictable rhythm — arrival, circle time, learning activities, meals and snacks, outdoor play, and rest — helps children feel secure.
Daily photos and updates plus an open-door policy keep you connected. Reach us easily by phone or text during the day.
Fresh, balanced, home-style meals and snacks are served daily. We accommodate allergies and dietary needs.
Infants sleep on their backs in a safe, separate space with regular checks. Toddlers follow a calm, consistent nap routine.
Toys and surfaces are cleaned and sanitized regularly, with consistent hand-washing and diaper-changing routines.
Clear sick-child guidelines keep everyone healthy. We'll let you know when a child should stay home and when it's safe to return.
A clear emergency and evacuation plan, working smoke/CO detectors, and first-aid readiness.
Calm, consistent routines, with authorized-pickup safeguards so only approved adults collect your child.
A simple path: free tour → paperwork → your child's routine and schedule → start date.
Care is led by Shadi Mirshahi — Montessori-trained and child-behaviour educated — not rotating staff.
