TELOS School-Age Child Care
Rob Yates
Roseville, 916-778-7897


Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? 

I run a licensed in-home family child care program in the Maidu neighborhood of East Roseville, and provide before- and after-school, 24-hour and school holiday care for school-aged children in grades one through six. We have an exceptional teacher-child ratio of one to seven with a focus on outdoor activities and developing social skills. After a 10-year career in structural engineering, I decided to do something closer to my gifting and share more time with my nine-year-old daughter.


Why is your staff the best in the business?

I listen to the parents and to the kids; ask lots of questions, so I can get to know the children well; and create unexpected outdoor activities that help them increase their joy, curiosity and wonder.


What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

Raising my daughter as a single parent, obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout, graduating college, and getting my professional engineering license as a civil engineer in California.


Where do you go when the going gets tough?

My small group from church and my parents. We share life together and support each other during tough times.


What’s your hidden talent?

Sound engineering for live sound reinforcement. I love being behind the scenes helping to create awesome sound for the audience.


What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

Paul Martin’s American Grill or Umi Sushi.


If you could be in any other profession, what would it be?

Clinical child psychologist.


And finally, customer service is…?

The intersection of skill and humility.
