    Four years ago I had come to the office looking for help getting a permit, and I had a really bad…read moreexperience. The woman who was supposed to help me took a look at my transcript, said no, and sent me on my way. No support, no guidance, no appeared interest in wanting to answer any of my questions. I remember leaving discouraged and confused because I couldn't understand why my classmates, who all had the same courses as me, were able to get a permit and I wasn't. I remember being frustrated and not wanting to go back to the office because it seemed like a waste of time. Fast forward to today, I met with a credential specialist named Mario Castillo who was super helpful! He was very patient with me and helped walk me through the process of what I needed to do. He offered me different options for what I was interested in getting, and showed me all the forms I could use for the application. He was very knowledgeable, and it was clear he knew how to do his job and could do it well. I left feeling encouraged, and I left with a much better taste in my mouth of the County of Education office. I now feel like I know what next steps I need to take, and I don't feel as lost. Good customer service really does make a difference, and I'm glad that Mario was able to assist me today.

    I have been coming here for over the past decade for a variety of reasons. Mostly meetings and…read moreworkshops, but recently I have been coming for in services and trainings for the new Common Core Standards and its implementation. The presenters and support staff have been friendly, encouraging, and very helpful. The office are old but well kept and have been upgraded over the years.

They have a technology center to support educators and students.

It is a screaming demon when it comes to downloads. The offices sport a cafeteria with daily specials, and serve breakfast and lunch. I have eaten there a few times and the food has been good, especially for cafeteria food.

    I can't say enough good things about this business and about Jeni Rayle. She is everything you…read morecould want in an advocate; she is knowledgeable, she truly cares about the families she represents and she will fight for your child to recieve the services they deserve. We had spent years disappointed with our autistic son's placement in SDUSD. She helped us figure out what options he had and helped us navigate our next steps. We had our IEP meeting this week and we could not be happier with the results. I cannot thank her enough for advocating for our son! She changed his life by getting him placed in an environment where he can get the help he needs (and deserves)!

    Having Jeni as our advocate was not only the easiest step we made for our son AND daughter, it was…read morea gift to our family. Navigating our own way was overwhelming and confusing. As much as we tried on our own to communicate the needs of our kids, we, at times didn't even know what we should be asking for from the school. From the first meeting, to our last meeting, Jeni was not only professional, but she cared. She knew our frustration and her experience, her kindness and patience saved our family. It opened up doors at school and saved our sanity at home. We trusted Jeni as her communication with us was always available, our questions and concerns were always answered and reassured. Jeni met each timeline and was always in contact with us and the school. She always made sure we were "in the know". Best decision we ever made!

    Alexa's PLAYC has been truly life-changing for our family!…read more Both of our children have attended PLAYC, and between them, we have experienced nearly every classroom in the program. As parents, there is no greater gift than knowing your children are loved, supported, challenged, and celebrated every day. That is exactly what we found at Alexa's PLAYC. Our son was diagnosed with autism while attending PLAYC, and the support we received during that time was extraordinary. The staff not only embraced him for who he is, but also partnered with us every step of the way to help him grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Because of the foundation built at PLAYC, he successfully transitioned into a general education kindergarten classroom and continues to thrive. We will forever be grateful for the role this program played in his journey. Our daughter has also flourished at PLAYC since she was a toddler. The warmth, care, and dedication shown by every teacher and staff member have made her school experience joyful and enriching. What makes Alexa's PLAYC so special is its commitment to serving all children. It is a remarkable model of inclusion where children with autism and their typically developing peers learn, play, and grow together in a supportive environment. The sense of community is unlike anything we have experienced elsewhere. The teachers and staff go above and beyond every single day. Their passion, professionalism, and genuine love for children are evident in everything they do. PLAYC is not simply a preschool, it is a place where children build confidence, friendships, independence, and a love of learning. We are incredibly grateful to the entire PLAYC team for the impact they have had on our family. If you are looking for an exceptional early childhood program that truly changes lives, I cannot recommend Alexa's PLAYC highly enough!!!

    Alexa's PLAYC is a truly special center…read more Our daughter has been there since she was 18 months. She was shy and apprehensive when she started, and has since grown into an independent, spirited, and fun-loving toddler. We are so thankful to the teachers and staff for providing our girl with a safe, welcoming place to explore and learn. There are so many things I could say, but here are a few highlights: * The teachers and staff are all highly trained on, and passionate about, early childhood education. Having come from another daycare, I can really see how Alexa's PLAYC is intentional about every element of the space. They use evidence-based philosophies, reflect constantly on what the children are exploring, and update the different spaces responsively. If the kids seem to want to explore different textures, they will document it and add more sensory materials. * There is a garden!!! It is beautifully maintained by the outdoor teacher. We love that our daughter gets to spend time in nature each week. The playgrounds are also spacious and full of enriching activities. * There is fun programming, like the weekly live music class! Because of Alexa's PLAYC's affiliation with Rady Children's Hospital, there are extra fun events sprinkled throughout the year. We had visits from a monster truck and a penguin from the zoo in the past few months. * The classrooms are mixed-age and inclusive -- meaning that our toddler has been able to make friends of all backgrounds. I believe that she's made leaps and bounds in her socialization and learning as a result. Though she was barely speaking at the time of enrollment, our daughter's language and imaginative play have since exploded. * Alexa's PLAYC's commitment to supporting children across the neurodiversity spectrum results in an incredibly supportive enviroment. For example, they are diligent about maintaining the low teacher-to-student ratio. Truly, though, words fail to describe the everyday magic that Alexa's PLAYC creates... We love seeing our daughter come home with paint on her face and dirt on her pants -- the signs of a creative mind hard at work (play)! It is so fun getting glimpses of her world at daycare. She will play guitar (in the style of the music teacher), water our plants (like she would in the garden), and proudly talk about new friends and hobbies ("I sit bicycle!"). It has been such a joy to see our daughter, and so many other children, blossom at Alexa's PLAYC.
