Welcome to Sweet Haven

Welcome to Sweet Haven Family Daycare — a space created from a very personal place: motherhood. Located in Chula Vista (Eastlake), I proudly serve families throughout Chula Vista and San Diego County in a warm, nurturing home-based environment.

Sweet Haven reflects the routines, care, and intentional structure I’ve built with my own children, and I’m honored to share that same level of support and attention with your family. Our days are centered around healthy meals, learning through play, outdoor exploration, and predictable routines that help young children feel safe, confident, and cared for.

I’m Frania, the owner and provider of Sweet Haven Family Daycare and a proud mother of three — ages five, two, and one. After spending the past several years on maternity leave, it became clear that the thoughtful way I was caring for my own children — with structure, nurturing guidance, and meaningful daily activities — was something I felt deeply called to extend to other families.

Opening Sweet Haven allows me to remain present with my children while doing what I’m most passionate about: caring for, teaching, and nurturing young children during their earliest and most important developmental years.

Montessori-Inspired Care & Ongoing Learning

I am currently working toward my Child Development Associate (CDA) certification and taking Montessori learning courses, which I thoughtfully incorporate into our daily routines.

Why CDA Certification Matters

    •    Supports strong child development practices

    •    Reinforces safety, structure, and quality care

    •    Reflects my commitment to professional growth

What I Love About Montessori Learning

My five-year-old attended Montessori from ages 2–5, and I saw firsthand how it encourages independence, confidence, and a love of learning. I especially value the hands-on approach and respect for each child’s pace.
