Since joining the…read moreSaplings class, we've seen such beautiful growth in him--thanks to the nurturing environment and meaningful interactions with both his incredible teachers and classmates. The joy on his face when we say "time to go to school" is priceless. The moment we walk through the doors, he lights up, and it's clear he feels safe, loved, and excited to learn. That kind of happiness doesn't happen by accident--it's a reflection of the incredible care and dedication from the amazing team at this location.

The center seems secure and it is not near the main road so I wouldn't think they have unannounced visitors. The classrooms are not huge but I haven't seen that as being an issue.

So, we've since moved Little C out of this daycare/preschool. Here are a few reasons…read more 1) One of the teachers was consistantly late (ranging from pulling in the parking lot at 6 to being 25 minutes late) to open the center, which should be open and ready to take kids at 6am. Director told numerous times and left documented on the sign-in sheet. 2) The TV watching. Sigh. Okay, so every morning before the rest of the teachers get there, the TV is turned on and a movie or show is put in. TV every once in a while for a special occasion is one thing, but every morning...No. C would say, "I watch scooby-do mama!?" We limit his kids TV watching to but a few shows, Team UmiZoomi and Wallykazam. So you can guess where he was watching scooby-do. 2.1) TV continued - I walked in one morning to drop C off to see the teacher (funny, the same one that is habitually late), have Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist on the tv. WAY INAPPROPRIATE to be showing a bunch of children. I mentioned this to the director once. Another time i walked in to see them showing Maleficent. Having never seen the movie, you can still tell it's pretty dark. I talked to the director about it a day later, and apparently PG (maybe PG13..cant remember exactly) rating or less, they'll play it. C had nightmares for the next few nights. The director said, "Oh i wouldnt figure he'd have problems with nightmares." SMH. www.tvguidelines.org/ratings.htm. TV-PG Parental Guidance Suggested This program contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. The theme itself may call for parental guidance and/or the program may contain one or more of the following: some suggestive dialogue (D), infrequent coarse language (L), some sexual situations (S), or moderate violence (V). 3) Teacher/Child ratios. Little C was 2 at the time he last attended LE. A lot of the times, I'd come to pick him up and he'd be in the room with the older kids (kids ages 3+, including school age). Why? Cause they had too many in the 1s-2s room. I do believe this is against state guidelines. 4) It was discovered C had staph due to scratching all day long at a mosquito bite. Was told the following day by the teacher that he had said he had an owie all day, after the fact. Did she even look to see what the owie was? No. Otherwise she would have seen C's leg was red and swollen from foot to past his knee. Thankfully he wasn't running a fever, or that negligence could have proved disastrous. 5) Most of the teachers there speak broken English. This proved to be the reason why C was not improving with his speech. Are they an affordable center? Yes. But at what price to your child's safety and development..

We recently moved, and after touring several preschools closer to our new home, we made the…read moredecision to keep our son here, even though it means a much longer commute. The biggest thing that stands out to me is the staff. Many of the teachers have been here for years, and some for well over a decade. After visiting other centers where nearly every classroom seemed to have brand-new teachers, I realized just how unique that is. Low turnover tells me this is an organization that treats its staff well, and that stability has been really awesome for our son. The educational program is also excellent. The teachers clearly put a tremendous amount of thought into their lesson plans and daily activities. We get lots of art and other work sent home regularly. Through the app, we receive detailed updates about what our son is learning and doing each day, and it's clear that he's growing academically and socially. They've also been incredible partners during potty training, reinforcing the same skills we're working on at home. Communication is another area where they excel. The teachers and administrators are proactive and responsive. We've always felt well informed. One thing I didn't realize I'd appreciate so much until we toured other centers is that they provide hot breakfast and lunch every day, plus a snack. It has been such a gift not to pack meals each morning, and the menu offers a great variety of foods. Our son has become more adventurous with eating because he sees his classmates trying new foods, and we've noticed him eating things at school I don't think he'd try at home. Our daughter went to a different preschool -- she's 7 years older than her brother, so that was years ago -- and we were truly pleased with it at the time. But, now that I can compare it to this provider, I have to say.... First Steps is better! We couldn't recommend this place more highly.

I was so so scared to leave my son with strangers, but soon, they didn't feel like strangers and more like extended family loving our little boy.

I found most nanny agencies lacking in quality of service compared to my experiences out east. The one exception I found was A Caring Nanny. The services they offer are spectacular and exactly what you should expect when you hire a nanny agency. I found most of the agencies in Arizona do not adequately vet their candidates and have been disappointed by the number of hours wasted by other agencies. I was delighted to find Jenny's high standards employed in every candidate she presents. Jenny listens to your family's needs and meets them in the nanny she matches to your family. She does not waste your time with unsuitable candidates. Her experience in matching families has given her amazing insight into what our family needed as our child developed. We have always been grateful for her recommendations and found her services invaluable to our family over the years. What I found refreshing about working with Jenny is that in all four nannies she placed with us through the various stages of our family's needs, she genuinely cared about what was the best for our child. I could not imaging using any other agency in Arizona while A Caring Nanny is around.
