My journey into the childcare field began in 1999 when I was left disappointed in my search for ”the right” childcare for my son. After going through many programs and with my daughter on the way (who is a Chico State gratduate and is now a teacher at The Gift of Kids), I began to reflect upon my family’s needs. It was then that I changed my career focus and ventured into childcare. My mission is to provide a nurturing, loving, safe and educational environment for every child.

I would like to thank everyone for their vote for #1 Best Preschool 7 years in a row, and continuing to trust us with your precious children. I love being part of this community and helping children learn and grow.
My name is Jennifer Tommasini, the owner/director of The Gift of Kids Daycare and Preschool. I’ve lived in El Dorado Hills for 19 years and I have four children.
In September 2000, I opened my home to three newborns, two 2-year-olds and a 3-year-old. I immediately knew that this was my calling. Everything felt so natural. I went back to school full time for early childhood education and started my own preschool program that incorporated home-cooked meals, planned outings, and practiced an advanced curriculum with structured activities that fostered learning.
In 2007 I opened a small pre-school with 60 families while continuing my in-home daycare. In 2010 I expanded again, bringing my preschool and in home-daycare under one roof—The Gift of Kids and Preschool is now located off Latrobe Road in Business Park 1. It has been a dream to serve so many children and give families the satisfaction I never felt when my son was in daycare. I pride myself on offering a safe place for families to bring their children.
The Gift of Kids currently has 32 wonderful, loving, professional teachers and over 200 children. We provide care for infants, preschoolers and private kindergarten. Although the size seems large, the classrooms have a homey feel where the teachers truly care about each child’s development. We work together on communicating with parents and developing each child’s individual needs. It delights me that so many children have the opportunity to experience our program.
