We miss Paige and the peace of mind that came with her caring for our baby…read more My daughter went to daycare here from January 2020 - March 2021 when she was just 1.5yrs old. To be completely honest, I was a little hesitant at first only because we had a bad experience with daycare centers in Orange County - we relocated to Merced in Sept. 2019. But since Back to Square Fun is located at Paige's home, we felt a lot more at ease shortly after my daughter started there as it truly has a warm, safe, and inviting feel to it. At first my daughter would cry at drop off due to stranger-danger mentality. But Paige won her affection very quickly. She would send us pictures and videos of her eating, sleeping, and playing with other kids around her age. This reassured me that our little girl was in the best hands possible. You really need to look no further for the best care for your little one. But do try to get on the waitlist asap! We now have a 6mo. old son and been trying to hang onto him until something opens up with Paige.

My granddaughter went here and these women were horrible. They gossip they chose sides between mothers and fathers that were separated And wouldn't listen to the parent that was trying to complain. They would be friend the mother's and then be condescending towards the fathers that they had questions to ask. I don't understand why the school is still opened. We tried to find out what the monthly payment was Because my son had to pay half and his ex-wife would not give him that info she would just verbally tell him what he owed and the owner would not give my son any information on the prices. I would never recommend this glorified daycare center

I did a lot of research prior to enrolling my child into the MERCED MONTESSORI School. He…read morepreviously attended a Montessori school in Modesto and I was very hopeful that the Merced school would have a similar approach and standard. It quickly became apparent this was not the case. I did not feel my child was emotionally supported at the pre-school, there was lack of attention on the students during play time (I saw two students physically hurt each other while behind the teachers back), and I personally had to take away two dead cockroaches from a group of students who were playing with them during recess. The teachers refused to let my child eat his lentil chips claiming they were unhealthy while simultaneously offer Ritz Crackers and plastic wrapped processed cheese slices during snack time. During the first week, I picked my child up from day care, only for him to show me a massive 4 inch cut down his arm. To my surprise not one of the teachers could explain how or when it happened. My child attended for a total of six days before I decided that his well-being was not prioritized in the school. I will say, there are many people who love this school for their students. It's possible that we got a very unfortunate look into their summer programming. Ultimately, I did not feel my child was safe and decided to find another pre-school.

He's always happy to see his friends when she opens the door and sometimes it's hard to get him to leave.

He is 16 months but requires extra love and attention due to a heart defect he was born with, she has gone above and beyond when it comes to helping him with things like learning to crawl, stand and other basic things that most kids his age are already doing. She loves the kids at her daycare as if they were her own. She is very genuine and I'm so grateful to her and her daughter for all that they have done for us!

One of the better things about them is they coordinate care and communicate with the parents. I've found it most helpful when they have observations and feedback regarding My daughter, which showed a lot of care and the close relationships they build with the kids.

My son started at Little Einstein at 9 months old, which was 4 years ago. My daughter started at 5 months old, 2 years ago. Carolina and her family are truly amazing. She genuinely cares about each child and creates a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. It's clear that they take the time to get to know each child's personality and help them build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. She has taught my kids so many things to prepare them for school and life. She is so sweet and kind. She makes all home cooked healthy meals for the kids that my children rave about. They throw special parties for birthdays and holidays. She is always doing fun crafts that I cherish. My children are treated like part of her family in her beautiful home. We have been so happy with Little Einstein that we had our friend's son join as well. As parents, there is no better feeling than dropping your children off knowing they are happy, well cared for, and excited to be there. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Little Einstein and highly recommend them to any family looking for a daycare that feels like an extension of home.

We've been with Ms. Carolina for the past two years, and I'm so thankful for the care she has given my daughter. When my daughter was around 20 months old, she went through a stage where she didn't want to eat, drink, or play much. Ms. Carolina kept me updated every day, and we worked together to help her through it. Thankfully, it didn't last long, and now she's eating and drinking well again. I also love that Ms. Carolina cooks fresh meals every day and makes sure the kids drink plenty of water, especially during the hot weather. My daughter was also potty trained at daycare when she was a little over 2 years old, which was a huge help for us. As a full-time working parent, having a daycare I can trust has been such a relief. Ms. Carolina has also been very flexible with early drop-offs and late pick-ups when I needed them, and I really appreciate that. I definitely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, and loving place for their child. We're so grateful for everything Ms. Carolina has done for our daughter.
