Due to moving quite…read morefrequently in the past few years I've experienced a lot of different daycares and none gave me the sense of comfort that I had leaving my kids with Jeanet and Kimy. I really wish there were more people in the world like them!! They were so nice, patient, and calm and that passed down to the kids. All the children at the daycare were so pleasant with one another and played well together while developing their learning and social skills. Most of us parents would stand around waiting for our kids to be ready to leave because they were having such a good time there. Trusting your daycare provider is really the best thing you can ask for. Thank you for everything!

From plenty outdoor activities to a beautiful table that they eat lunch outside on, super fun play sheds in the back of your yard and plenty of outdoor activities. She truly teaches my children, respect, love, boundaries and integrity. Her firmly loving nature truly has set my sons up for success in their future. She provides real and healthy meals and understands development. My oldest knows how to write, count and learned how to use the potty with Patricia. She is amazing!

My daughter has attended Patricia's daycare for the last year and half and she absolutely loves it!…read moreSo do we. Where do we start. Patricia is amazing with the kiddos. She helped us potty-train her not only for during the day but also helped with incentivize her for night time potty-training. She has helped her with learning how to write her name as well as her numbers and letters and is now on to some more basic words. In other areas, she makes the kiddos delicious and nutritious food. My daughter always tells me Patricias food is the best and wants food like what she has at school. She has lots of play space and areas for the kids. Even though she naps at "school" she come home having played so much. I know she got a full day workout in. And one thing I especially love is Patricia sends me pics and videos during the day of what the kiddos are doing. I 100% recommend Patricias Family Child Care!

Words can not even begin to express how happy we have been with BunnyBear. Our first born has been…read moregoing there since she turned 12 months old, and we have witnessed her THRIVE. The staff there is so caring and thoughtful when we drop her off in the morning we know she is loved and well taken care of there. They are so easy to communicate with and so incredibly helpful. For months we tried at home to have her wear shoes and she would absolutely refuse, after her teachers trying for a few days straight they DID IT. She now LOVES shoes and its such a relief. I would recommend BunnyBears to everyone looking for a daycare in La Mesa. They are the best.

To say we have loved and appreciated our time at BunnyBears is an understatement! We feel so fortunate to have found BunnyBears and had the opportunity to include them in our village. The love our kids felt each day when we dropped them off really set our hearts and minds at ease, and it was such a joy to see them playing happily with their friends and teachers each day when we picked them up. Communication with Katie and all of the teachers was prompt and very helpful - we always felt like we knew exactly what was going on during the day, and loved the picture updates. Our kids were never lacking in one-on-one or small group time with their teachers, and each teacher really took the time and put in the effort to form special individual bonds with all of the kids. Both kids felt very prepared - socially and emotionally - for their transitions to preschool, and our almost 5 year old sometimes tells me she wishes she could go back to "tiny school" to see the teachers that she loves.

I feel so lucky to have found Amy when initially researching daycares for my young daughter. Amy…read moreruns a home daycare service that is enriching, loving, and fun. My daughter went here from age 8 months to 2.5 years old and learned so much in that time. Never once in those years did I ever feel bad leaving my daughter in the very trusting and reliable hands of Amy. She thrived and made so many memories and tight friendships with the other children in the program. Amy's approach is play-based learning and sensory activities and at the young age my daughter started this was so helpful in her learning important real world skills. Amy is very communicative with the parents and invested in your child's development and nurturing. She also frequently shares photos and videos of the children's adventures! I would recommend Adventures in Play in a heartbeat! Thank you Amy!!

She has been there for 4 years and we have been thrilled with every aspect of her care! The owner Amy Kessler is a natural baby whisperer. She is also very competent in the age-appropriate best practices of child care. The kids love her warm, soft and playful ways. Amy has a rich menu of activities for the children with a focus on outdoor fun. She also teaches them good manners and great social skills! My daughter gets frequently praised for her ability to respond appropriately in many situations beyond her age. I credit this to Amy's care. The daycare is conveniently located in Del Cerro, off of College Ave.

I have no doubt it is due to the time he's spent with Lisa, Lori, and all of the incredible staff they've had throughout the years there (have to give a shout out to Genna, Jessica, and Teresa :) ) The things that stood out to us as parents that were absolutely invaluable were: -Communication!!! We've used other childcare for our kids and Lisa and Lori have set the bar. They are simply unmatched. They have made it a priority to keep us updated with the day's activities, food and snacks eaten, naps, diaper changes/potty habits, good behaviors and any issues that may have arisen. We looked forward to the pictures and videos we would see throughout the day and we never had to wonder what was going on. As working parents, I can't tell you how much this helped us feel comfortable with our choice to send our son here. -Education: They really value education: reading, number and letter recognition, colors, shapes, puzzles and educational games, educational songs. It's huge. Our son was counting to 10 by the time he turned 2. They had science and language (Spanish and ASL) focused lessons each week. He would constantly come home with new knowledge that blew us away. Their Teddy Bear Express curriculum is fantastic with wonderful themes. As a teacher myself, I cannot be more grateful for all that he learned and that they helped nurture a love of learning. -Organization & Cleanliness: For a home daycare, Lisa has created a perfect separate space for school vs her home. It's organized and clean. The staff checks the play equipment daily to ensure that it is clean, safe, free of bugs/spiderwebs, and sanitized. At meal times and during crafts, they had shirts that the kids would wear to protect their clothing from home from food and craft stains. This is extra but they have turf in the yard so we were grateful that our son wasn't coming home covered in grass, sand and dirt stains as well as no food or craft stains. Lisa is STRUCTURED in the best way. Everyone knows the expectations and routines and it is helpful for the kids and parents know what is going on throughout the day and for the kids to rise to the occasion and get used to a school setting. -Holidays/Themes: Lisa does a wonderful job of decorating for the holidays and making her home and the school setting feel new and fresh. They always had cute holiday crafts to bring home and would build it into their learning too. They have family gatherings for Halloween, Christmas (with Santa!), Easter (with the Easter bunny!), as well as a Mothers Day and Fathers Day party, a valentines exchange, St Patricks Day leprechaun traps. Having those opportunities to meet other families at the family parties was really nice and as a parent, having access to pictures with Santa and the Easter bunny were fantastic. Each week/month also had a different theme for their learning, share day, and Dress Up Friday. It was so fun for our son to dress up, and find items to share with his friends. He loved looking forward to the things he would get to learn about (space, volcanos, fire prevention--with a trip to the fire station!, dental hygiene, etc). They host an annual lemonade stand that the kids help market, organize, and run that we look forward to each summer! -Extras: They provide breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks throughout the day so no stressing over slow eaters in the morning or packing a lunch. They have color coded water cups so no need to even bring a water bottle. All I had to do in the morning was get him dressed and drop him off and our mornings were so easy. They taught him so much before we even knew he was ready! One day he came home knowing how to get his shoes on independently and was proud to show us! They teach social etiquette like sharing, listening, taking turns, they give the kids daily jobs and responsibilities. They facilitated potty training. They use an app (Brightwheel) to track the day and communicate so it's nice when everything is in one spot. They have Parents Night Out a few times a year and it's wonderful to have affordable childcare where we know he'll have a blast and he's safe. Graduation/Awards ceremonies each year to celebrate the small victories and character awards--bonus, they learn songs to sing to the families which is not only adorable but great practice for all of the elementary school performances to come! When it was time to move on, our son was beyond ready, and was so confident as he started elementary school. It made our transition there so SO easy and I know it was in large part because of his time at My Place Just for Kids. I'm sure it's obvious from the length of this review but I couldn't recommend them enough :)

Miss Tammy and her team work so hard to provide an immersive program appropriate for all age groups with textures, learning exercises (writing, colors, sorting materials, hand-eye coordination), outdoor and group play focus, yoga, soccer camp, painting, dancing, the list goes on and on. But best of all, the love and care that goes into guiding these children through their emotional development has been something that cannot be matched by anyone. Miss Tammy and her team are respectful, communicative, and provide the BEST advice for working through some challenging toddler times.

Often times I would drop him off and cry in my car (happy tears) after seeing the other children cooperate in a 10 minute program Ms. Bertha had for my son, where the class would dim the lights for him and everyone would remain quiet upon his arrival playing classical music until my son was calm enough to join the group (i was told this was usually no more than 10 minutes & I saw it myself, the other children were happy to do so). This melted my heart. Many kids would approach him and say "hi, I love you, it's ok" when I would walk him into class. The directors and teachers here were more than willing to not only comfort my son but teach the other students the importance of inclusion & kindness to those with special needs. These kids were so nice to mine! My son is nonverbal so it was very sweet to hear everyone's little voices of encouragement toward him.
