Welcome!
Little Sparrows Daycare LLC is a state licensed in-home child care service in Kailua HI, where high quality care is provided in a safe, encouraging, and stimulating environment. Our vibrant and cozy home supports creativity, learning, and play.
I believe all children deserve love, respect, attention and a positive learning experience. Guided by Play-based, Waldorf and Montessori learning styles. I facilate a hands-on approach for daily activities and nurtering interactions. Play, sensory learning, and art are key components in developing emotional, physical, social and cognitive learning which builds self-confidence. I foster independence and individuality by allowing children to express their own uniqueness and how they relate to each other and the world around them. Children have exposure to diversity and cultural awareness through stories, music, poetry, language, and art. Basic Spanish and Hawaiian words and phrases are used in daily communication. Emotional and behavior management is addressed through "Conscious and Gentle Parenting" supportive methods.
Our home is set up for children ages 2 - 5 to safely and freely explore. There is dedicated space for eating meals, exploring art and sensory. As well as space for building blocks, dramatic play, music and dancing. Each child has their own cot for napping, and two options for going potty. Children should be potty trained at the start of care. There is a calming area and space for quiet time when needed.
Healthy, fresh, organic and non-GMO meals and snacks are prepared each day. We spend plenty of time playing outside and take short walks too.
Due to the nature of in-home childcare, this program is best suited for families with one parent or caregiver working from home or has flexible availability to pick up child promptly for any urgent reason. To try to minimize spreading contagious illnesses, we are a "Symptom Free" environment. At each drop-off we have a wellness check-in and wash hands. If small group learning and play in a cozy home environment sounds ideal for your Ohana, contact me today!

Hi, I'm Tatiana
I started Little Sparrows Daycare to provide a safe, loving, creative space for families like mine. As a mom, I would like to give the best for my child and see that carried over into the lives of other children. I have 20 years of experience in early childhood education and teaching art to all ages. I am trained in CPR & First Aid and ServSafe. I practise Gentle and Conscious Parenting methods to support self-regulation, consistent boundaries, and positive reinforcement. I use art through different mediums to help children share their feelings and ideas. I'm looking forward to nurturing growth and inspiring self expression for your child.
"We will laugh and sing and dance and create. We will always have permission to be ourselves with each other. No matter what, you will always belong here."

TESTIMONIALS
"I have spent many summer's working with and supervising Tatiana at a public recreation art themed camp. I started working with Tatiana when she was 15 years old and have kept in touch with her since then. She has always been great with children and is in tune to their needs. Tatiana is compassionate, kind and loving. She manages behavior with patience and gentle guidance and has a genuine love for children. I can't imagine putting your child in more capable and loving hands than Tatiana's."
–Diana M.
"Little Sparrows childcare has been an absolute delight. Tatiana’s warmth and enthusiasm creates a nurturing environment where the children feel safe to explore and learn. We couldn’t be happier with the positive impact that she has had on our child’s development. Our son has grown in so many ways but most importantly with patience, kindness, and love.
–Megan W.
"Our daughter found a 2nd home with Auntie Tatiana at Little Sparrows! The Little Sparrows Daycare website is a great glimpse into what you can expect. If you are a parent interested in the proper developmental approach for a rapidly maturing brain, this is the place for you. From top to bottom, Tatiana meets and exceeds all expectations. We have found our daughter to be kinder, smarter, and healthier under her care. You will not find anything better… consider yourself fortunate if Tatiana has room for you. I just wish we would have found her sooner!"
–Lindsay O.
"Tatiana is someone who dedicated her time and energy in providing quality care and education for my little one. It was so comforting to see that someone like her was around to keep an eye on my child while I’m away. I felt assured that my child was learning in a safe and happy environment. Tatiana was really good at sending updates and putting my mind at ease while I was at work. She also made sure that my daughter ate clean, yummy meals full of nutrients. She is reliable, respectful, caring, talented and fun-loving. My daughter proudly displays all of her beautiful art work that she learned from Tatiana at Little Sparrows Daycare. I’ll always be thankful that she is a part of our lives. She is truly the best!"
–Diana S.
"My daughter loved going to Tatiana's! Tatiana provides a fun, creative, safe, and nurturing environment and my daughter was always excited to go to daycare. I am confident that our little one is loved and nurtured in Tatiana's care. She is a wonderful person and I am thankful for her presence in my daughter's life over the past year."
–Andrew K.
"Little Sparrows Daycare is an absolute dream! With the nurturing love, care and talent that Tatiana provides in addition to her years of experience in early childhood development - she has it all. We could not have been happier with our decision to have our daughter under her care between 10-16 months. She cared for our daughter like she was her own, and exposed her to a variety of age appropriate activities, books, art projects, and adventures that we haven't been able to find with any other care provider or daycare. Her home was always warm, welcoming, and full of creativity too. Her expertise and thoughtfulness went into everything she did, including her organic, all-natural homemade food. Tatiana is not only an amazing human but an astounding professional and caretaker. We highly recommend her daycare to anyone that is looking to give their child the best upbringing you can find!"
–Brent M.
"Tatiana is one of the more thoughtful, caring, intuitive, strong, creative, nurturing, innovative, thorough, calm, and diligent women I have the pleasure of knowing. I couldn't be more thankful for her presence in the life of my young daughter. Going back to work in the covid world was stressful. Knowing I had this amazing person to entrust my daughter to was not only reassuring but hugely positive for my whole family. She works with grace while maintaining a mindful outlook of my daughter's needs. Somehow Tatiana also constantly provides new ways to teach, entertain, and nurture her growth and development."
–Danielle R.
"If you've ever had the pleasure of working with Tatiana, it goes without saying that she puts her entire heart into what she does. You'll never have to question her character, because she navigates through her work transparently with the upmost humility and grace. A rarity to say the least. She will provide an amazing and safe environment for your children to learn and grow, while caring for them as if they were her own."
–Pascale M.
"I have had the pleasure to work with Tatiana in my infant classroom as a teacher. She was very calm and loving to the children. She helped with lesson plans, coordinating art work and curriculum for the children. She maintained a great relationship with families and staff throughout the years, including myself and my family. She is a loving person and an amazing mother with excellent experience working with children of all ages as well."
