Our daughters started here when they turned 2. There is a separate classroom for 2 year olds and…read morethere are other classrooms for 3-5 year olds. We had nothing but good experiences here and highly recommend it. The teachers are very patient with the children, older children help younger children settle into routines, and the school even helps with potty training when the time comes. When our daughter started Kindergarten at the local elementary school, we found she was far beyond her classmates in math. This school prepared her well. Your child will take time to settle into the new environment. It took my oldest nearly six weeks. The school will work with you, so be patient and don't blame the school if your child isn't ready.

Let me save you the headache! This place is a freakinnn' mess…read more After essentially being pushed out just two days in, I was told I'd get a full refund, minus the two days my son was "in school", yeah.. ok. What I got instead was several weeks of back and fourth emails, and a check that was finally recieved via snail mail aka USPS. I thought: "FINALLY", cause... hey, we're talking a little over $1,800. I go to deposit it and lo and behold.. IT'S NOT SIGNED. Yes, seriously, they sent me an unsigned check. From there, I went back to the email thread, going back and forth a million times with accounting and random people who never introduced themselves. An aggressive email from a random staff member named Patricia, who never introduced herself or her role in the whole situation. I didn't receive any phone calls, no apology, no accountability. Weeks go by, and I don't receive another check, so I filed a dispute with my bank after attempting to resolve this for over a month. Guess what? I finally heard back from accounting. They tried to get me to cancel my dispute so that they could issue a check again. I said nope! Thankfully, a week or so later, my bank was able to refund me the entire amount after literally faxing them our email thread and the unsigned check. Please do not bring yourself or your children here. The staff here is unprofessional and incompetent and needs to brush up on their customer service. Avoid. At. All. Costs.

I started my 19 month old daughter here the beginning of February and she absolutely loves it! With…read morethe staff's help she was able to seamlessly transition from going to a home daycare to attending this preschool. She has learned many new words and gets to practice and develop her fine motor skills daily. Throughout the day, the staff takes photos of your child and sends them to you through a secure web browser to keep you updated. It's absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend Methodist Tiny Tots to anyone looking for a preschool.

As a parent(s) the wife and I were extremely nervous about dropping our child off to be with…read moresomeone other than family, but since the year our child has been going here we have felt nothing but comfort knowing how they care for not just our child but all the children there, they truly make you feel at ease knowing your child isn't just there learning and coming into their own little humans but that while there they are with people that truly care about them and want them to succeed as much as you do. To be honest the day our child leaves to go to the next stage of schooling we will be sad amd will be forever grateful for how they treated our child.

Both of my daughters have attended this school for preschool. I was extremely nervous at first…read morebecause I hardly let ANYONE watch them and if I do it's at MY house (where we have cameras inside cause I'm crazy protective). This school was placed closed to where I worked and also close to other family in case of emergency which made me wiling to give it a shot. 3 years later, I don't work there anymore however my child still attended for another year even though we moved on the complete opposite side of town because she loved this school so much. I'm so happy I let them take my children for their first few years because they are way OVER prepared for school now. My oldest in first grade now is extremely intelligent and further along than majority of her classmates. She excels at just about everything, and it's the school that did this, not me. I decided to keep her there instead of going to TK so that she could be with her sister one more year and go straight to kindergarten and I'm happy I did. So she skipped TK but was still at the top of her kindergarten class because of this place. My youngest whom just started TK today was again BEYOND prepared and so excited for class. There were SEVERAL students crying, kicking, trying to run out and screaming in the TK classroom at her new school because they were not ever introduced to this type of environment possibly. My daughter walked in confidently, found her name and was able to hang her stuff up by herself and sit down. She even said "I love it here" meanwhile kids were having the worst day of their life. If it weren't for this preschool I know we would have been one of those struggling parents and children as well. If I had not had my older child already in first grade I would have opted to keep my youngest at this preschool instead of TK because of how great my child was doing and how much she loved it. Both children have moved on as of this year now however they wouldn't be as well prepared as they were if it weren't for this awesome school! Sometimes my oldest still tells me things like "I miss the tacos from preschool".... Apparently they make good food for lunch too for the kids and I can't replicate it it's been 2 years come on, my tacos are good too. They also utilize an app that lets you communicate with teachers and they post pictures from their days or fun activities which is such a nice thing to get notified to in the middle of work. Will recommend this school always moving forward!!! They also have the cutest graduations at the end of the year for the oldest kids moving on.

My daughter has been going here a little over a year and Shannon and Kristie are fantastic! They…read moreare caring and create a great atmosphere for the kids. I was looking for reliability and they most definitely provide that. They're hours are 7am to 6pm. They use classroom dojo to communicate with you throughout the day and answer almost immediately if you have concerns and questions. I only gave a four because it makes me nervous that there is not a stronger security system to get inside. You don't enter a code or anything to enter. So just a personal preference and insecurity on my end. Definitely recommend this place to EVERYBODY.

If I could rate a zero I would. This business is truly bias towards certain clients. They decided…read moreto update their building and added a code lock to the front door. These women did not notify me of the change nor share the code with me. As I and my ex are divorced we share custody and he mostly picks up our children. This day I got to pick up my daughter and discover not only is the door locked, they didn't give me the code and didn't not answer the door as I rung the bell. I had been sitting out side for a bit and had a chance to see other parents use the code and go right in. However I rang the bell and waited outside like a criminal as my child was brought to the door. Unlike the other parents that went straight in and had immediate access to their children. The next day for drop off I again noticed all the parents seemed to have codes. I then texted and called my ex asking for the code, he refused. So I waited for a nice parent to come along to open the door for myself and my children. The older kids wanted to drop in and say hello. This week I'm talking to my 4 year old who attends the horrible place and tells me that her teachers did not like the snack I packed her last week. She said they claimed it was unhealthy and she said she felt bad but wanted to eat her food anyway. First off these women have taken their bias/racism too far. To be little parents in front of four years old child is a low down scummy thing to do. These people have my number if anything they could have called me and asked me not to send her with nutrí grain bars, cereal bars, graham crackers and the Minute Maid juice box. But to make a child feel bad in any way let alone about her food is atrocious and not tolerated. I've received my children from this place multiple times in which they had candy, fruit snacks and junk. So clearly there aren't strict dietary guidelines nor are any of these people offering meals to these preschoolers. Bottom line is if there is something to be said about a child's parent, call the parent. Feel free to reach out in fact but the slanderous talk to my children will not be permissible. I'm sure many can agree with that sentiment. Avoid this place if you have any sense.

Let me respond to the complaint of racism. Check my picture and you will see that I am a POC and my…read morechildren are beautiful POC as well. We started with Just Kid'n Around when it was a daycare at the start of the pandemic when my normal daycare shutdown. And we followed to the new preschool. I feel that there is much more diversity represented in the daycare compared to the actual population. My kids have aged out and are now in school but we will be back for breaks and the summer! We were there this summer and we were notified of the need to quarantine as soon as the health department notified the facility. From March of 2020 until June of 2021, not only did we not have to quarantine but my kids had fewer illnesses than our previous daycare exponentially. The staff have always worn masks. I don't understand this complaint of marks. I will never forget the comment my pediatrician made at one of our well visits when she saw bruises on their legs: "I see these boys are very active". Kids play, kids get hurt, and unless it is a true injury, staff might not notice a scratch. If my children reported being scratched or otherwise mistreated by staff, that's one thing, but from everyday playing? My ringing endorsement is that this daycare, and then preschool, came through when I was in a jam and took care of my kids well. They still ask about Miss Melissa, Miss Stacey, and Miss Jen. Communication has been great, when I perceived an unpleasant experience with a new staff member, I spoke with Miss Melissa and the staff member addressed my concerns and we learned it was a misunderstanding. From them on experiences with that staff member were great. I am a very present and involved parent and I wouldn't leave my most precious beings in a bad situation.

This place is really a mixed bag. Both my son's attended. Our oldest was labeled a problem child,…read morewhile the youngest almost never had an issue. As parents, we stayed involved and had several meetings to find a solution for our oldest, but nothing seemed to work. Low and behold, he is off to Kindergarten and getting nothing but rave reviews. We enjoyed the afternoon care people. I can say for certain, teacher Cathy was an absolute joy. However, the director is a bit harsh. On a couple of occasions my wife and I got there without our presence being known and heard some very harsh tones used even on very small children.. the demeanor seemed to disappear when we made ourselves known. Unfortunately, the education aspect seems to lack. The field trips were fun for the kids, however, our youngest is in a much more structured preschool and the difference is so noticeable. BUT, the price can NOT be beat. 2 children, 3 days a week, from 7 am till 6pm was 576, where now we pay for 3 full days for 1 child at 450. If you are on a tight tight budget, the pre school is not bad.. but, it truly just depends on what you're looking for, and what you're willing to let slide.

She really spends time and gets every child ready and prepared for Kinder. Just like his sister, he has never disliked going to school. Because all learning is done through play, he enjoys all the projects and schoolwork. Hes proud to show us everything he does. She still maintains an open door policy for all guardians. She has never made myself, husband or my in laws feel unwelcome for coming for a visit or attending one of the many holiday parties. Just like with his sister, she helped, encouraged and supported us through potty training. They never leave the little ones in soiled diapers or clothing. If parents forget to bring a change of clothing she always has spares on hand to help in a pinch. Ms Billda has still maintained an affordable status for parents looking for early education for their little ones. When it was time for my son to start preschool I knew I didnt need to look anywhere else! It was a no brainer. You get more bang for your buck at Academics Plus. Im done having kids but I will always advocate for small businesses that care about those in the community. I hope Ms. Billda continues to thrive in all business aspects.

We are one of the founding families of Little Angels (circa Fall 2025). We have had children in…read moremany different childcare settings throughout Modesto since 2018 and there is no question that nothing compares, quality wise. Starting with the staff, the first thing you will notice is that every teacher embodies love and compassion, and respect for kids. Each person is nurturing, kind, and truly enjoys being around each child. As far as programming the focus is play based plus structured activities with a ton of hands on art and outdoor time. Letters and numbers are also practiced frequently. They just completed a gardening unit that was a big hit. One favorite activity is dance parties for the littles and there are no screens! This is rare. Little Angels emphasize multicultural, inclusive, non-religious, multi lingual learning. And they provide all meals and snacks, wholesome and fun vegetarian foods. The building is bright, open, and non-cluttered, with separate classrooms for the babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. However they all interact on a daily basis and class sizes have very low teacher:student ratio. Ms. Bhavya goes out of her way to make each child feel welcome, included, and seen. Moreover she wants to really understand and support each child's unique needs and brains. She is intentional in how she individually onboards children and makes sure they feel safe. Another thing we appreciate is that they host small get togethers for the families to interact and enjoy holidays together. Last month we had our first field trip to the Modesto Children's Museum too; such a treat. I recommend this program wholeheartedly- it truly is Modesto's best kept childcare secret
