LIVERMORE'S PREMIER FAMILY DAY CARE and preschool

Hi, my name is Tonni, and I have nearly 20 years of experience caring for children in a variety of different homes and settings. Mid-way through my career, I decided that I wanted to take my expertise to the next level, so I pursued and obtained my Early Childhood Development Degree in 2017. Since then, I have maintained my CPR and First Aid certifications in good standing, as well as registered and fingerprinted with Trustline. 

I am originally from the East Bay and moved to Livermore in 2018. I instantly fell in love with the community and small town feel. I love walking through downtown and enjoying all of the restaurants and events it has to offer. When I’m not taking care of littles, you can find me practicing yoga, hanging out with friends, traveling, or making crafts with my Cricut. I am also big on being involved in the community, and I try to do my part as an admin for our local Buy Nothing group. 

I started Little Leaders Livermore because I believe that the first five years are the most important in a child's development. Besides learning numbers, letters, and colors, I am big on teaching manners, empathy, and social/emotional development. I will lead by example, providing them the foundation to establish routines and build independence. Learning to express their big feelings can be hard, but I will guide them in understanding how we talk to others and ourselves, and how we treat the world around us.
