Bright Steps Academy has been a positive part of my son's life. He started attending when he was…read moreabout nine months old. When making the decision to take our son there, my husband and I visited about five or more daycares. Although we were not first-time parents, it would be our first time leaving our third child in a daycare. The minute we walked into Ms. Maral's Academy, it felt right. It was very inviting and organized. She answered all our questions and put us at ease. Bright Steps Academy has been so instrumental for my son's development and learning. He comes home singing the alphabet, the days of the week, the numbers in English and Spanish and tells stories about his daily learning. From the home-made food, healthy snacks, daily kids activities, the librarian coming in to read stories, to potty training and naps and so many more to name a few. Parents are kept informed through an app and one can see pictures of the activities happening on certain days. Ms. Maral, we are forever grateful that we found Bright Steps Academy. You have become part of our family and the hard work that you put into the Academy does not go unnoticed. We wish you continued success and may God bless you, your family and Bright Steps Academy

At around 9mo, we started thinking of putting our daughter in daycare. Of course, we were…read moreapprehensive because you hear so many horror stories. We viewed a few places and decided to hold off because none of them seemed like the right fit. We started looking again closer to her first birthday and found CLIC. Mrs Alexis was super responsive and offered for us to come take a tour. As soon as we stepped inside, I immediately had a sigh of relief. My daughter was playing and even felt comfortable letting Mrs Alexis hold her. She didn't rush us through the tour and answered every question we had. As soon as we left, my husband and I both looked at each other and felt this is it. When we drop her off now, it feels like leaving her with family. I know she's safe, taken care of and learning a lot! She is and has always been a contact napper. The fact that they were able to get her to sleep in a play pen on her own says a lot!

Clic provides structured care for infants and toddlers, and they allow the children to tap into their natural exploration to help develop and reach those crucial infant/toddler milestones. Ms. Alexis is such a fantastic communicator as well with various forms of communication. She is extremely accessible and so friendly. Most importantly, the students enrolled are diverse in every sense, yet they are all welcomed with the same loving smiles. We are really grateful we were able to enroll our daughter with Clic Montessori.

He started attending Nido when he was around 9 months old and is building so many life skills such as independence (eating with a spoon or fork, drinking from a cup without even spilling, listening and doing simple commands like putting something away, picking something up, closing the door, etc.) I also noticed his concentration when he's playing with things at home or when we're at the dining table. I could go on and on about the things I notice him doing since starting at Nido. My son loves going to school each day and he adores his Montessori guide, Ms. Maria. She is very attentive and I appreciate that she really observes each child. She communicates well and her school is a true Montessori environment. She is always available whenever we have any questions. I definitely learn so much from her as I try to incorporate more of the Montessori philosophy at home and as a parent. She always emphasizes how she's there to work together with the parents for the child to benefit the most. We wished we could've start our first child with the Montessori philosophy earlier on because I can see how beneficial it is in life. I don't feel like I drop off my son to a "daycare". It's a Montessori school where the children "work", learn, and have fun.

My daughter started with Ms. Maria the following Monday part time and it only took her a few days to adjust, by Thursday she was already staying longer and was saying "I want to go to my new school" as soon as she woke up. Maria really knows and believes in the Montessori philosophy. She truly cares about the children and their well being. If you are looking for a true Montessori for your child, Maria is one of the few environments around who will give you that experience. It will be the best decision you make for your child.

I'll open up by saying I've already recommended this place to my family multiple times. I speak for…read moremy wife and I when I say that this place has been nothing but a blessing to us both. The staff members each play a very specific role and I can tell that both of my children have built a bond with them all. Sometimes when they're trying to talk to us they still call us by their names on accident. Something very important is that this place has helped us in many ways and largely in learning how to be parents. Having needed daycare because we have a very small support system was one thing but we'd never expected to find something we could consider an extension of our village. Our kids learned how to walk, we're potty trained, and eventually educated at this daycare while also learning how to be people like interacting with others and handling their emotions and expressing themselves. They have made some of their best friends that they'll eventually forget about, but in their younger years have been key parts of some of their memories and stories. Although my children may eventually forget this part of their lives, I assure you that I won't. I have nothing but great things to say about the staff and the role they played in their younger years. 5 stars is not enough. Any cons I had at the start have honestly with every passing year been fixed it or got better that there wasn't any. Also a kuddos to how serious (although challenging time) COVID was handled and the way they prioritized safety. If you have any doubts about this place, you'll find them quickly at ease when your child settles in and just ensure their days off which is shared on a calendar work are something you can work with. Thank you for everything, the value of this treasure of a daycare could not be captured in words even if I wrote more!

Carina, Diana & Tanya are just amazing, they help with potty training, homework for the older kids, they do school pickup/ drop off, they take the kids in field trips, to the park and during the summer they will do water activities. They also provide meals, flexibility if you need to drop off early or pick up late, they celebrate the kids birthday and they even provide the cake!! I would highly recommend this daycare to all new parents that are worry about leaving their kiddos. I truly have nothing bad to say, but just a thank you that Blooming Youth has been part of my child's journey.

From the very beginning, Eagles Nest has been a loving, nurturing, and professional environment where children are genuinely cared for and celebrated. The staff is highly educated, experienced, and deeply committed to each child's growth -- academically, socially, and emotionally. Their dedication shows in everything they do. Our daughter has flourished here. She is happy, confident, and excited to go to school each day. She has built meaningful friendships and formed beautiful bonds with her teachers, who have shown her patience, encouragement, and kindness every step of the way. The curriculum is thoughtful and engaging, and the special events they incorporate throughout the year truly make families feel involved and connected. What stands out most is the heart of this school. The teachers and administrators are willing to work closely with families, offering support and guidance through behavioral challenges or learning struggles with compassion and professionalism. They truly partner with parents, and that makes all the difference. As we approach her final year at Eagles Nest, we already feel emotional knowing she will soon be moving on. This school has been such a special and foundational part of her early childhood, and we are so grateful for the love and care they have poured into her over these years. We wholeheartedly and highly recommend Eagles Nest Preschool to any family looking for a warm, structured, and supportive place for their child to grow and thrive. Thank you, Eagles Nest, for helping shape our daughter's early years in the most beautiful way. As an educator myself, I am very happy to write this review for a wonderful school that has kept my daughter safe, supported, and has become extended family With much gratitude and love, THE ROMERO FAMILY

I enrolled my son at this daycare when he was only 5-6 months old and not even crawling yet. By his…read morethird day there, he came home with two bruises on his face. I initially brushed it off, but over time he continued coming home with scratches, bruises, and marks on his body on a regular basis. Each time I asked about them, staff were unable to explain how they happened. As a parent, that was extremely concerning. I repeatedly brought my concerns to the staff and administration, but I often felt dismissed. I also asked Jennifer if I could review the camera footage, but I was told recordings were only kept for 24 hours and had already been deleted. Another concern was the lack of communication. When picking up my son, staff rarely provided updates about his day and often seemed rushed or unwilling to discuss concerns. Instead of feeling welcomed and reassured, I frequently felt uncomfortable and unheard. My experience left me feeling that my concerns were not taken seriously and that staff were more focused on defending one another than addressing legitimate questions about my child's safety. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this daycare for infants or children who are not yet able to communicate what happens during the day.

We learned early on how incredibly important and foundational the learning ages of 2-5 were going…read moreto be for our son's growth. Until the age of two, we were able to nurture his love of creativity through art, get him engaged in reading and music, and keep him active and independent while learning at home, but his social-emotional growth needed a community like Modern Schoolhouse to truly develop. We met another family at his favorite playground that had an AMAZING experience at Modern Schoolhouse and their daughter, who was academically gifted and raised with similar philosophies, was thriving under their care. We enrolled and discovered for ourselves that Modern Schoolhouse was indeed an absolute gem for child development. Our son entered after turning two, and he was very shy/reserved at the time. The talking, dancing, singing, bilingual artist that blew us away with his funny ideas and love of learning at home, needed help expressing himself in the larger group. Over the next several years, Leonardo was able to grow and thrive his ability to emotionally self-regulate, from having a 'safe space' at home to being able to identify what he was feeling and how to 'calm his body,' to listening to others and respecting common space. What we didn't anticipate was not just the top quality of the school, the clean aesthetic spaces, and the exceptional teachers (Teacher Alicia from class 3 was truly amazing!!), but also the like minded and kind community that became a key part of our son's social life. During our son's first years at home, we studied Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia- instituting some principles of each in our approach at home. It wasn't until we met Sue and her philosophies at Modern Schoolhouse did we see some of these same philosophies embodied in an American child care setting; and we must have interviewed or toured at 5 or more local schools before finding Modern Schoolhouse. The core beliefs consist of the idea that children are competent, capable, curious individuals with hundreds of ways of self expression. The role of the school and family should be creating a structured, clean, and aesthetic environment that is conducive stimulating exploration and discovery. Teachers in this sense guide and foster collaboration rather than just 'delivering information.' Giving our son a new challenge was hard at first, but Sue and her staff were quick to offer suggestions and outside resources so we could reinforce some lessons at home, especially around his development of social/emotional skills like managing anger, dealing with disappointment, and learning to communicate when he needed space. He also was given the chance to learn how to build relationships and have positive interactions with new friends. Each 'season' and month had different themes that would be clearly delivered in monthly/quarterly emails along with chances to meet with teachers on child progress in key development areas of language, tracing, use of scissors, how to put on shoes/jackets, counting, class participation/listening, and emotional self expression. By class 3 (3 years old and above), our son was giving 'show and tell' presentations, using the 'sharing bee' to discuss their weekend, and playing inventive games to stimulate imagination and curiosity. Through the use of brightwheel, we were always shown photos and videos of our son having fun with friends and doing some fun activity. The school also offered many events at the school such as the "annual art show," "parent and me" day, and music sessions from Teacher Gaia culminating in a student led music performance (the cutest!). This year all the 4 classes made their own animal costumes and acted out various Disney themes. It was extraordinary to see him flourish and thrive under Teacher Alicia in class 3, who is truly remarkable for her ability to connect to kids and meet them where they are on the journey. By the end he was more confident in his presentations and even singing his favorite Disney songs Karaoke style to the class! Everything ended on a wonderful note with his graduation and small speech to parents and the graduating class. We were given an opportunity for a graduation photoshoot and his 'family book' with messages from all of the teachers as a keepsake that he created during his time there. As he graduated before many of the others in class 3, everyone created a special hand painted art for him with with the handprints of all his friends. It is bittersweet to go onto the next chapter, but he graduated school scoring high in every single metric of development, and he easily was interviewed and accepted into an international private school. Thanks you for being such a key part of his childhood journey and we hope to stay in touch with Leonardo and our growing family!

Initially, we had some concerns about starting him so young, but it quickly became clear that enrolling him early was the right choice. He is truly thriving--emotionally, mentally, and intellectually. The curriculum at TMS is incredibly well thought out. Each activity clearly connects to the weekly or daily theme, and we've seen real growth in our son's development. He's starting to learn the alphabet and has become much more verbal since he began. What stands out even more is how happy our child is at TMS. Every photo we receive through the app shows him smiling, and we always feel confident dropping him off, knowing he's in caring and capable hands. The teachers, staff, and owner (Sue) are exceptional. Our son absolutely adores his teachers and lights up when we mention their names in the morning. Even though he's usually very attached to us, he was so excited to see his teacher at the Annual Art Show that he practically leaped from my arms to greet her. That kind of connection is exactly what every parent hopes for in a school: a place where your child feels loved and supported. On top of all this, the school is extremely clean. Our son has hardly been sick, and we've noticed how attentive the staff is to hygiene--little ones always have their noses wiped, diapers changed very frequently and the environment is clearly well-maintained. TMS is far beyond a typical daycare--it's a place where our child is growing, learning, and genuinely happy.
