About Our Daycare in Millbrae, CA

Meet Belkin Martínez, licensed childcare provider with 10 years of experience. Discover our mission, philosophy, and why families in Millbrae choose us.

Jael’s Little Stars Daycare was born from a genuine passion for children and a dream that wouldn’t let go. After four years working at another daycare, owner Belkin Martínez noticed something she couldn’t ignore: she grew deeply attached to every child in her care. She witnessed firsthand the real need so many working parents have — a trustworthy, warm place where their children aren’t just safe, but truly loved.

That realization led to a decision: this was the work she was meant to do for the rest of her life. Caring for children. Teaching them Spanish. Walking alongside them every day. And so, Jael’s Little Stars Daycare was born, a place where every child shines with their own light.

Rooted in her own cultural background and years working with children, Belkin brings warmth, experience, and genuine love to every single day at the daycare.

Our Philosophy: Learning Through Play

Through our play-based learning approach, children develop:

  • Spanish and English, naturally and organically
  • Early literacy and numeracy skills
  • Social-emotional skills and core values
  • Connection to Hispanic culture through songs, stories, and traditions

Where Love for Children Became a Calling
