The people who know us best are the parents who drop off every morning.

As first-time daycare parents, this was everything we hoped daycare would be. Our son started at age 1 and is thriving — socially, academically, emotionally. The small ratio means individualized attention, the home-cooked meals are amazing (and they handle his allergies perfectly), and he naps consistently — which was a huge issue at our previous daycare. Friends and family regularly comment on how advanced he seems for his age. I couldn't recommend it more.

Our daughter has been here for a year and we've had zero complaints. Madhu's communication is excellent, the environment is incredibly nurturing, and our daughter comes home happy every day, excited to share what she learned. Choosing this daycare was the absolute best thing for our family.
I'm Madhu, and for over a decade I've welcomed Dublin's little ones into my home as if they were my own. What started as a passion for early childhood education has grown into a small, joyful community of families who trust me with their most precious people.
My approach blends a structured, research-based curriculum with the warmth of a real home — circle time, learning centers, outdoor play, healthy meals, naps, art and music. Because the group is small, every child gets noticed, comforted, and celebrated, every single day.

Painting, sensory bins, dramatic play, and open-ended art that lets imagination lead.
Cognitive
Math games, sorting, puzzles, and problem-solving tuned to each child's stage.
Music & Movement
Songs, dance, instruments, and active play that build coordination, rhythm, and joy.
Learning stations & daily activities
Children rotate through colorful stations all day — each one designed to spark curiosity and bring out the best in your little learner.

Every breakfast, lunch, and snack is prepared fresh in our kitchen — home-cooked variety with fresh-cut seasonal fruit, and vegetarian or allergy-friendly options whenever needed.
Because food is one of the first ways children learn they're cared for.
Why families choose us
More than daycare — a second home
Choosing where your child spends their day is one of the biggest decisions a parent makes. Here's what sets our home apart.
1
Small group, big attention
A low caregiver-to-child ratio means every child is genuinely seen, comforted, and celebrated.
2
Real curriculum, real play
Structured Experience Curriculum activities every day — literacy, art, music, cognitive games.
3
Home-cooked meals
Fresh breakfast, lunch, and snacks made in our kitchen — never reheated, never processed.
4
A real home
A warm family home with a fenced front patio play space — perfect for ride-ons, water play, and slides — plus regular walks to the nearby park for outdoor adventures. A calm, joyful place to spend the day.

Daily updates
Photos, meal logs, nap times, and milestones through Brightwheel — never miss a moment.

A decade of trust
Over ten years caring for Dublin families. Many children stay until kindergarten — and visit after.
Come see it for yourself
The best way to know is to visit. Book a tour, or just call and ask me anything.
We welcome children from 6 weeks through 5 years old. Care is age-appropriate at every stage — infants get gentle one-on-one care, toddlers get structured play, and preschoolers get kindergarten readiness through the Experience Curriculum.
Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. We're closed on major federal holidays and take a short break around the winter holidays — you'll get the annual schedule when you enroll.
Yes — breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are included. Everything is cooked fresh, never reheated or processed. We accommodate common allergies and dietary preferences (vegetarian, dairy-free, etc.) — just let us know.
We follow the Experience Curriculum, a research-based early childhood program built around four learning pillars — literacy, creative, cognitive, and music & movement. Each day includes circle time, themed activities, art, books, outdoor play, and structured routines — all through play.
We keep the group small on purpose. Our typical ratio is 1:3 for infants and 1:4 for toddlers and preschoolers — well below state requirements. Every child gets noticed, comforted, and celebrated.
Yes. We're licensed by the California Department of Social Services as a small family child care home (License #015701012). You can verify our license at cdss.ca.gov. We're also CPR and First Aid certified, background-checked, and trained in early childhood education.
We use Brightwheel — a daycare app trusted by parents and providers. You'll get photos, meal updates, nap logs, milestones, and reminders throughout the day, plus quick check-ins at pickup.
Spots open at different times depending on age group and family schedules. Please reach out — I'll let you know what's available now and add your child to the waitlist if needed.
To protect everyone, we ask that children stay home with fever, vomiting, or anything contagious until symptom-free for 24 hours. Routine sniffles and minor things are fine.
Call (925) 491-5872 or email hello@madhushomedaycare.com. Tours usually happen during nap time or early evening so I can give you my full attention. Bring your little one if you'd like!
