About Top-Top Day Care

Personal care from a trained teacher

My name is Kristine Manukyan. I own and operate Top-Top Day Care & Child Care Academy in Burbank, California.

My story and purpose

Every child deserves to feel known and supported

I am a Master Teacher with professional training in Applied Behavior Analysis and specialized coursework focused on supporting children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and different developmental needs.

I created Top-Top Day Care to provide dependable, compassionate child care in a home setting. I want children to feel comfortable asking questions, trying new skills, making friends, and being themselves.

I invite parents to call, ask about enrollment, and arrange a visit. A conversation helps us understand whether Top-Top is the right fit for your family.

My approach

What families can expect

Care works best when children know what comes next and feel respected throughout the day.

A steady schedule balances movement, activities, meals, and rest.

Positive guidance

I support communication, patience, kindness, sharing, and age-appropriate independence.

03

Active learning

Children work with stories, art, music, sensory materials, puzzles, movement, and nature.

04

Individual attention

I adapt activities to each child’s abilities, interests, and developmental needs.

Children spend time indoors and outside with child-sized materials, creative projects, movement, stories, sensory activities, and quiet rest.
