Ms. Janessa and the other teachers here are wonderful in comparison to our previous school in the area. My kids are always excited to come to school. I love the stories they tell of their projects and things they've learned in class. I can tell they have a solid relationship with the teachers. I highly appreciate the app, and throughout the day. I know it's a longer day for my kids at school, than my workday. It's nice to know what they're up to. The pictures are my favorite to see. The best part of the school is Ms. Janessa. We love the learning environment she fosters for the kids, and the small details. I've notice such growth in my toddlers since she's been around. Highly recommend a tour, if you're considering a place of care for your babies.

Jarod, Chelsea and Lacey absolutely teat our daughter so well it gives me such a piece of mind knowing that she's happy and well cared for. My tiny toddler is excited to go to "cool" (school) and see her friends each day and sometimes she doesn't want to leave! As a working parent, what more could you want?

They provide consistent activities, art projects, etc. to keep the kids busy; active playtime outside in their great backyard with play gym; and flexible with my crazy work schedule. In addition to all of that, they drop off and pick up my daughters from school right up the hill at Crest Elementary. We love Tiny Tots!!

As a working mom, I know it can be stressful to find the perfect daycare for your little ones…read more Today I'd like to take 5 minutes to recommend Jump Preschool (www.jumpreschoolkids.com) . This little school of 4 renovated classrooms has served my family so well for several years. They welcome kids 18 months (don't need to be potty trained) to Kindergarten, open 6:30 AM to 5:30 PM, all year long. Very easy access from 94 or 125 freeway, reasonable rates and curriculum mostly in English with some Spanish. My oldest son (now in elementary) had a very easy transition to Kindergarten in public school, because all he learned at Jump. My little girl who is still enrolled at Jump is thriving: she loves going to school, learns songs, does beautiful crafts, even got potty trained there!!! If you are looking for a preschool, this is THE place you want your precious child(ren) to be!

I interviewed 5 daycare/preschools before making the decision to send my son to Jump preschool. I…read morehad a great feeling during our tour and I was right. This is the best decision I ever made. The teachers are amazing and so caring! My son loves it there and is so excited to go. He started going there when he was 4 months old. I love that they have structure and planned lesson plans for all ages. They also are flexible with your child's needs. They do all sorts of fun activities with the kiddos.

I travel a lot, and I especially like to hire her services when I am out of town to come by my house daily, check/feed the cat, bring the mail in, etc. Gives me peace of mind when away from the house, and it's easier on my cat than a boarding kennel. I have used Erika's services with babysitting also, and she is great with kids - they love her. Anyway, a useful service to have locally and highly recommended.

I have to say I really liked it at first and the app is wonderful. But they don't always log diaper…read morechanges. My child was in the preschool class and they didnt really log if he ate or not. They just wrote down the menu for that day so I wonder if he ever really ate even though they said yes when I asked. My son was always big for his age and it seemed like there are too many kids here and they weren't able to give him the time and attention he needed. The ratio is 12:1. When I dropped my son off one morning, poor Ms.Kelcey was changing a diaper while 10 other kids were running around and one was crying in the corner. Nothing on Ms.Kelcey; shes great and she handled that like a champ. They just need more staff here. I noticed one of the teachers had quit when my son first started and the teachers here seem kind of burnt out. The director met with us and said my child wasn't meeting his milestones and that the teachers hadn't observed them. But, when we got our son evaluated by his pediatrician and a speech therapist, that was not the case. His outbursts at school didnt improve. From looking at the footage that they DID show us, it appeared it happened whenever teachers were looking away, so I do feel bad for the other kids. It seemed like he was always getting written up and they looked for any reason to write an incident report. Most times that we asked to see the footage, we wouldnt get it. The director would just say she watched it and tell us what happened. The director pushed for my son to get evaluated through the regional center and even after I went through the process of doing so to get him the help he needed, he was still terminated. After my sons occupational therapist went to the school (she went and observed him his last week there), she observed that our son was not the worse behaved one and that he was just copying other kids behaviors. Now that my son is in a different pre school with a smaller ratio, he is doing better. So, maybe this school isn't for neurodivergent kids or for shy kids or for kids that are big for their age. For the price, I would say you get what you pay for because the facility is beautiful, always clean, and the yard is nice. Food is good from what I've seen and super healthy. But, it is packed with kids (12:1 in prek) and they really need more staff!!

My daughter attended this facility for two days and it was an awful experience. The teachers…read moreincluding management is very rude and dismissive. When we brought up anything to them their response was we can't watch all of our friends. I did see a bad review and it looks like it got deleted so my review may get deleted as well. A WARNING to all considering learning jungle. They pick their favorites, my child was eating sand (two days in a row) had marker all over her clothes (she could have had it in her mouth), had an ice cube they use for accidents in her mouth (choking hazard) because somehow it ended up in the classroom accessible to her, got sick on the third day when we withdrew her. Everytime we picked her up there was one teacher playing with the same group of kids and one just standing around, but not paying attention to what the kids are doing. Also they never answer their phone so if there is an emergency you have to go to the center to speak to them. They called me on the first day to ask me to come pick up my child because she wouldn't wake up from her nap and the other kids can't go outside and supposedly there is a rule stating that they can't wake her up even though it's past their nap time. This is unheard of and so inconvenient. I wasn't able to pick up my daughter because that day I already had to go back to the location twice before because of their lack of communication. Save yourself the headache, this Place may look like it's good for your child, but internally it's all messed up. My child has since been taken to a daycare facility near our home and she has been thriving. Learning jungle is the worst daycare I have ever dealt with.

The children's center is really nice. They have indoor and outdoor set up big area for the kid to run and play and the classrooms are nice. We look forward to continuing attending here.

The entire staff is wonderful and always greets my son by name and with a smile. We also love the family and community events that Ms. Hunter, the director, has created--they make it easy to feel connected and involved. On top of that, the preschool is very affordable, which is such a bonus for the level of care they provide. Our son is happy, excited to go each day, and we truly couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend!
