Hello and welcome to The Kinder Garden Poway! Let me introduce myself, I am
excited to meet you. My name is Alexea Lee Takacs and I am the owner and
creator of The Kinder Garden Preschool Day Care here in Poway, California. I
am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and love being a California native.

Starting The Kinder Garden Preschool Day Care from my home in Poway, is a
dream come true. This dream of mine comes into fruition after many years of
working with children and families.

 

For the last twenty years, I worked as a
psychiatric counselor and psychotherapist for special needs adolescents/children
and their families in psychiatric hospitals and in-home services. I cherished my
work in the field of psychology, and it has taught me so much as a person,
parent, caregiver, and teacher.
 

Teaching and learning are very important to me and providing a safe and
enriched environment to learn is my mission. Over the last twenty years I have
created and engaged with children and families exploring social skills, feelings,
and wonder. My education is from Yale University and University College London.
I received a master’s from these schools in developmental neuropsychology,
which taught me the importance of positive and natural learning environments.
Along with being CPR and Child/Infant First Aid certified, I was a school nurse at
a high school and I am very good at mending booboos. 
 

I am a certified yoga teacher and have a specialization in yoga with children and
families. Yoga, movement, music, art, and outdoor play will be a focus of our
curriculum at The Kinder Garden Poway. Our curriculum focuses heavily on
sensory play, exploration through movement, language development, and
building social skills and interaction. By learning fundamental skills in areas like
fine motor and cognitive development, practicing self-care, and respect for all
nature is what we feel is a recipe for fun, learning, and love at our in-home
Preschool Day Care.
 

Some of my favorite things are being in nature, hiking, baking and cooking
healthy foods, and spending time with my family and friends. We make our food
and snacks at The Kinder Garden with organic ingredients and love. We buy
from local vendors and farms and would love to share our home and a
homemade treat with you.
