Our Philosophy

Every child's potential, nurtured at home.

Sea Haven Family Child Care Center takes its name from the Sea Haven neighborhood right here in Marina — the community we're rooted in and the families we're honored to serve.

Our play-based, age-appropriate program emphasizes social, emotional, and cognitive growth, guided by caring providers who tailor each day to your child and partner closely with your family. As a new, home-based child care, we've built something intentionally small: a calm, consistent environment where every child is known by name.
