About us
Experienced caregivers, opening our Portola Springs home to yours.
Little Orbits brings more than 10 years of healthcare experience to a warm, small home childcare built around real working schedules.
Our story
Little Orbits started with a simple idea. Irvine is full of parents whose work doesn't stop at 5 pm: nurses finishing a 12-hour shift, first responders on rotating schedules, and parents who start before sunrise or work late into the night. Most childcare closes by 6. We built ours around the clock so those families have a warm, safe home to come to.
Why "Little Orbits"?
An orbit is one full trip around the clock, from sunrise to moonlight. Little ones circle through their day with us, learning, playing, eating, and resting, and they always come back home to you.

To give Irvine's working families a safe, loving home away from home at the hours real life requires, where every child is known by name, learns through play, and goes home happy.
Our vision: every Irvine family, whatever their work schedule, has childcare they trust.

Why a home childcare?
A small group
Up to 8 children, so every child gets real attention and fewer germs go around.
The same faces
Your child is cared for by the same small team every day. No rotating staff, no strangers.
Real-life skills
Children cook with us, set the table, garden, and serve their own food, just like at home.
