Holy Family Day Home

As a new professional in early childhood education, my time at Holy Family Day Home played a meaningful role in my development as a well-rounded and informed advocate for children and families. The expectations set by my supervisor were high and demanding, which ultimately strengthened my ability to think critically, problem-solve effectively, and approach challenges through a holistic lens.

The teaching staff was exceptionally hardworking and inspiring to collaborate with, demonstrating deep commitment to the children and families they served. While there were periods of leadership transition that felt disruptive at times, these changes were made with the intention of improving the overall experience for students and families.

Despite being an institution with a long history, the center continues to strive for growth and adaptation with each new generation. I would gladly work here again, as I consistently felt a strong sense of support, community, and shared purpose among the staff.

Holy Family Day Home is exactly that....a family. The staff became more than friends and co-workers, they remain as close as family members. We were all there for each other, whether we needed work support or personal support.
The hardest part of the job was sometimes going into a classroom to substitute for a teacher (as I was a Floater), and not being informed of the schedule or what the children were doing. Thinking on your feet was a big...and fun...part of the job.
The most enjoyable part of the job was spending time with the kids, enriching their learning experience, and watching their reactions as they learned new things.

I was a very reserved person with lots of things to work on and now I am a better teacher. 

My director gave me power with love and resources information and feedback,  frequent meetings and helped me with dealing with challenges or hard stuff . My peers are so good too and I'm very happy here. Thanks to them for helping me to be a better person employee and teacher for kids, parents, myself and my workplace. The best plans for day to day work in class with no anxiety looking for substitute for a simple doctor appointment and if I need to leave for few minutes. 

A typical day meant connections with staff and families. Interfacing with the public, clients, and staff really spoke volumes about the agency because the program really tried to educate all stakeholders.

I learned a lot about California licensing, my own leadership/management style, and quality programming. 

My coworkers were great, supportive and dedicated. Management sometimes was disconnected from the day-to-day and there was a vast difference in management style. 


The employees are passionate, caring, and knowledgable. Management and workplace culture needs improvement; improve professional workplace communication and trust between staff and management. Be prepared to learn as you go, because on the job training is minimal for certain positions in the organization.

Support families with resources, such as, food stamps, Cal-works and housing. Advocating for families with different agencies. 

Attend court with parents to support them emotionally. Develop programs for evening program: massage night, cooking class, workout program and nutrition advice workshops.

Provide consultation and crisis support to high risk families.

This is a great place to work for those who are passionate about working with children and looking for a diverse workplace. The work is heavy, but the program director is selfinvolved and makes everything about her which can affect job performance when dealt with daily. Great benefits, great families, just need to be willing to praise the program director constantly in order to have some peace and support.

Learning and training 

They are pros and you will enjoy and learn together at holy famil day home. 

Toxic workplace culture and unqualified and dysfunctional leadership. It is clear that they have a narrow perspective on early childhood education. 

Rather than fostering collaboration and professional growth, the culture is one where employees feel micromanaged, undervalued, and constantly walking on eggshells

Special place for the history and the great people. Located in a beautiful area which lends to great experience. One of the best places I have worked. Can be tough to keep pace with the demands of funders.
