Where every child is nurtured with love, learning and laughter
Owned and operated by Diana Moreno, Daycare Ladera Ranch is a warm, safe place for children to grow — a second home for families in our community.
Meet Diana Moreno
With more than 15 years of experience — in one-on-one childcare and assisting in larger daycare settings — Diana brings knowledge, love and dedication to the early stages of child development.
As a fully licensed childcare provider, Diana is certified in CPR and first aid, so your child’s safety and well-being always come first. She is also registered with the Children’s Home Society, part of our commitment to the highest standards of care and education.
We don’t just watch over children; we nurture their minds, hearts and imaginations. Together with her assistants, Diana keeps a happy, stress-free home that is clean, interactive and full of chances to play, learn and grow.
A calling to care for young children
Diana holds a bachelor’s degree from CSULB and first worked in the hospital field — until she realized her true calling was childcare. She came back to the work she loves most, a field she sees as the foundation of a child’s future.
Today we welcome newborns to school-aged children, with flexible rates based on your child’s age and hours of care. Diana’s goal is simple: every child should feel at home, loved and ready to reach their greatest potential.

What guides us every day
Our philosophy
Every child deserves a nurturing environment that fosters love, learning and laughter. These early years are crucial, so our approach supports emotional, intellectual and physical growth. We treat every child as our own, in a safe, engaging and warm space that feels like a second home.
Our mission
To provide exceptional childcare that puts each child’s well-being, safety and development first. Through a blend of structured learning and free play we foster independence, creativity and social skills — working closely with families so every child gets personal attention for their unique talents.
Programs for every stage
Our curriculum is shaped to each age group, combining best practices in early childhood education with a deep understanding of how children develop.
Infants
A warm, safe, nurturing space with personalized care that supports babies’ key milestones, from sensory exploration to early mobility.
Toddlers
Interactive play and a structured yet flexible routine that build independence, social skills, language and friendships.
Preschool prep
More structured learning, still full of play: early literacy, math concepts and science exploration that spark curiosity.
Events for the whole family
From parents’ date-night options to holiday painting and baking events, we create chances for fun, learning and making memories — celebrating the seasons, special occasions and the everyday moments that make childhood wonderful.
“Diana is absolutely amazing! We are first time parents and the thought of sending our 16 week old to daycare was nerve-wracking… we felt an instant connection with Diana and did not hesitate choosing her for our childcare needs.”
“Diana does a great job keeping the infants she cares for well occupied – from tummy time, to mirror time, to puppet time… I also love that she has a mobile app that she uses to send me updates throughout the day.”
