But as time went on, I noticed the main teacher at precious moments, Tereza, is very burnt out. She is a sweet lady but does not know how to handle all of those young children on her own. Children climbing all over and falling, it wasn't a pleasant thing to see when I would stay for a few minutes when dropping/picking him up. The most concerning thing is the owner Geraldine. She talks about other parents in the establishment and seems to be always running like a chicken with no head. She forgot my son's and my name numerous of times and admitted to me there are no cameras inside or outside of the premises. I don't know about other parents but when involving little children, there should be cameras at ALL TIMES. They are unprofessional and do not know how to handle situations at hand especially when there are issues with confidentiality and their staff members. Please do your research before putting your child anywhere! My son is at another daycare and he absolutely loves it. I will be writing a review for them as well. I just wanted to educate and have other parents aware so that they don't make the same mistake as I did! This is our children, they should be "safe and sound" no matter where they are.

Both of my children have attended, and even after my oldest graduated to kindergarten, we happily kept our younger child enrolled--and that says everything. Edith and her entire staff are truly exceptional. They go above and beyond every single day to create a warm, safe, and nurturing environment. My children have always been well cared for--clean, happy, and well fed. One thing that really sets this daycare apart is the homemade meals. Edith takes the time to prepare food the kids genuinely enjoy, and it shows in how excited they are at mealtime. The developmental progress has been amazing to watch. My son is now counting, confidently saying his ABCs, and is fully using the potty--all thanks in large part to the consistency and encouragement he receives here. Most importantly, he is genuinely happy to go every day, which speaks volumes. They also make sure the kids stay active and engaged, with plenty of outdoor playtime. On top of that, Edith puts so much thought into making every holiday special. The kids get to celebrate, create, and make memories in ways that feel magical and meaningful. Communication is another huge strength. Edith is always responsive, keeps parents informed throughout the day, and is easy to reach if needed. That level of transparency and care brings so much peace of mind. She really cares and loves each child there and always wants to work with parents so things are consistent with home and daycare. This daycare is more than just a place for childcare--it's a loving, supportive community. I'm incredibly grateful for the role Edith and her staff have played in my children's growth and happiness. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for a place where their child will truly thrive. I want to be a kid there! Oh and Oscar makes amazing cookies and even grills for the kids!

I was headed to go tour the Pomona location and I must say I was highly disappointed. As an early…read morechildhood educator i know that first impressions matter a lot. I arrived to the school which was a house on a residential street which is not a problem but I instantly got a bad feeling. The daycare was scary looking no color, no sign to indicate it was a school. No playground just a whole bunch of dirty toys thrown all over the place. There was no fencing which lets me know my child will not be safe there. I was absolutely displeased and I left. To top it off the person i spoke with to schedule this tour didn't even reach out. That just confirms to me that i made the right decision of leaving and not attending the tour. All the pictures being portrayed on their website is definitely not what I saw yesterday to me. That's called false advertisement. I'm an early childhood educator and to get that feeling that your child is probably going to not be safe just by looking at the outside of a School is scary. I expected more. I'm highly disappointed.

The prices are very fair and the curriculum, while fun, often is disorganized and forces learning down their throats when children should enjoy themselves and learning will come naturally. It isn't the worst, and it isn't the best, but due to the worst turnover I've been a part of, this aspect may irk parents. Excellent infant care but the preschool area needed work when I left.
