Ohana Family Childcare is a family-owned and operated childcare provider in Vista, California, focused on creating a warm, safe, stimulating and educational environment for children from birth through age 11. The organization views early childhood as an important foundation for learning and supports children’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language development through age-appropriate experiences. Its philosophy places play at the center of learning, encouraging individuality, imagination and exploration.

The center offers care for infants from birth to two years, toddlers ages two to three, and preschool children ages three to five. School-age care is listed as coming soon. A distinctive feature is its country-setting environment, with outdoor space where children can roam, play and learn through imaginative activities, with an emphasis on outdoor play rather than electronics and media.

Ohana’s teachers and staff have more than 20 years of combined experience working with children. Teachers have early childhood education backgrounds and undertake additional training to support children’s needs. The center is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
