The short answer is, yes! Childcare is considered an essential service according to California Covid-19 Guidelines. I will be capping the total number of children I work with to 10, and I currently have space available on the roster. Additional safety precautions are in place in accordance with state guidelines.

A Pop-In is an educational integrated arts experience, that comes to you.

Pop-Ins are for 1-3 kids. I also offer PlayDate Pop-Ins for up to 6 kids and Birthday Party Pop-Ins for up to 12 kids. View the Pop-In Menu for more details.

Sure can! Send me a message through the Contact page for special Multi-Pop-In rates.

Great question! Each Pop-In type has an age minimum. For Pop-Ins available to kids under three, I am absolutely able and willing to change diapers as needed during the Pop-In.

I exclusively practice Conscious Redirection and Positive Discpline. When children "act out," it is a clear signal to me that they are experiencing emotions and reactions to their environment that they have not yet learned to understand and process in a positive way. I approach those moments with a listening ear and open heart to help them develop the skills they need to self regulate and communicate what they need moving forward.

I have been trained and worked with many different approaches to child development and early childhood education. These are my favorites: Reggio Emilia Approach, Creative Curriculum, ECERS, Crucial Conversations Want to know more about any of these methods and approaches?

I love virtual Pop-Ins! Book a Virtual Pop-In at least a week ahead of time so that Ferril can send you your custom-tailored Pop-In supplies and materials in the mail. Ferril will Pop-In over Zoom at the prearranged time for a virtually in person Pop-In experience that will keep you and/or your little ones entertained for up to two hours.
