Jaime and her team are amazing they're caring, patient, and truly treat every child like family. In just six weeks, we've already noticed a big difference in our son. He's only a year and a half, and he's starting to put small words together! We can tell he's learning and growing every day because of the love and attention he gets here. We recently moved from the Peninsula and were nervous about finding a daycare we could really trust, but Mimi's Grasshopper has gone above and beyond. Emiliano loves it here, and so do we. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for their little one!

Currently our youngest daughter attends and has been going there since she was 18 months old (she's now 4.5). Both of our girls love teacher Jamie and the rest of the MeeMee's staff so much! The children are so well taken care of and have so much fun when they are there. The house has a classroom with tons of toys and a large, beautiful backyard with a swing set/ play structure and tons of other activities to do outside. I love that they are learning through play. I am so appreciative of the staff at MeeMee's for loving my kids and taking such great care of them. It truly is a peace of mind knowing that your kids are safe and taken care of AND that they actually love going to preschool when mom and dad have to work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare!

For what Tabatha and her family offers, the price is exceptional-meals/snacks are included for the kiddos, as well as a safe, loving and fun learning environment.

If you are looking for a daycare where your child is not only cared for, but loved, nurtured, fed…read morelike family, and treated like one of their own, Homegrown Daycare is it. Our daughter Kaia started with Samantha as a little toddler, and from day one, we knew we found something special. The amount of care, intention, and heart she pours into the kids is rare. The home-cooked meals alone are incredible (meals I wish someone cooked for me), but it is so much more than that. There is structure, fun, learning, outdoor time, music, a jumpee, arts and crafts, everything a child needs to grow, explore, and feel safe. When we first started, there was a mutual trial period and we were a little weirded out by it, but now we totally get it, Samantha makes sure it's a great fit for her as well as for you, as a parent. The result is a group of very well adjusted kids, parents who care and are invested in their kid's development, and a group of kids that care for each other. Samantha communicates, sets clear expectations, and makes parents feel at ease. Even on days when drop-off was tough, Kaia ran into her arms like she was going to see family. That tells you everything. Our daughter has grown in ways we cannot even put into words, socially, emotionally, and developmentally. Samantha has been an essential part of our household and our lives. Leaving California means leaving Homegrown Daycare, and it is bittersweet. This place is unforgettable, and so is Samantha. If you are a parent searching for a daycare where your child will be loved, protected, and poured into, look no further. We are forever grateful for her and her own family. We hope they come visit us in Hawaii someday. Five stars is not enough for the level of care she gives. Samantha, Kaia and we will miss you so very much and thank you for guiding Kaia's growth love, kindness, and patience.

Samantha creates so many engaging, hands-on activities that keep the children interested and learning every day. My son comes home with the most creative art projects that we cherish. She is incredibly responsive to my son's needs and provides a loving, nurturing environment. She provides home cooked breakfast and lunch that is nutritious everyday! Her home is always clean, organized, and welcoming. She is always communicative with our family. Our son truly enjoyed coming to daycare and looked forward to it each day, which meant so much to us as parents. We always felt confident that he was safe, well cared for, and genuinely loved while he was there. We are very grateful for the care our family received and highly recommend this daycare to others.

This place is amazing. Ms. Dee Dee and the teachers at the village really set the bar high. As a…read morenew mother, I was nervous sending my child to daycare. However, the village staff did an excellent job making sure mama bear was at ease with the new transition. After the first week at the village, I noticed my child was talking a lot more. A huge difference from the previous child care my child was attending that did not stimulate him at all. My child was talking more and interacting with others to the point I am upset I didn't find this place sooner. LEARNING: After the first month, my child learned all of his colors and was able to count to 20. I owe it all to the Village for making learning and playing fun. The Village has a classroom and huge play areas for children to explore. The Village prepares children for school by reading, counting, coloring, singing, and providing structure. PLAY/FUN- my child was always by the door and ready to leave his previous daycare provider. At the Village, has so much fun it's sometimes hard to get him to leave. The staff always has a fun day planned- from water day to Dr. Seuss Day. CLEANLINESS- this place is immaculate and very well organized. Common areas are always cleaned and sanitized. I wish my home was as clean as this place. I would recommend the village to any parent. It was the best decision I made for my child sending him there. Any of my future children I would send to the Village. I was finally able to exhale and know my child was in good hands. Ms. Dee and the teachers truly love what they do. My child is starting kindergarten and I know the Village set him up for success

Baby MacBean was AMAZING! You won't find a better daycare. They implemented a curriculum--even at…read morethe infant level--that included sensory activities, art, reading, and science. My son was actively engaged every day with painting, dancing, growing plants, cooking lessons, and story time. By 18 months, my son knew four colors, spoke in 3-4 word meaningful sentences, asked questions, had a vocabulary of well over 100 words, could name a dozen animals and their sounds, played pretend, and could identify a word on each page of his favorite books. He cleaned up his toys when asked, apologized when he hurt someone, said please and thank you, and even cleared his own dishes and wiped his spot at the table after dinner. That kind of independence and empathy at such a young age was extraordinary--and entirely due to the care and structure Miss Cassie provided. By age 4, my son was reading, writing his name, cutting complex shapes, counting to 100, and could name all the planets in the solar system along with their characteristics, among many other advanced skills. If you want your child to gain lifelong social-emotional skills and enter kindergarten well above grade level, this is the place. The waitlist can be long, but Miss Claudia does her best to accommodate working parents.

Stay away! At first,…read morewe had very high hopes after meeting Ms Claudia and doing the complete tour of all locations. There were few red flags at the beginning, but being new parents, we kind of brushed them off. Big mistake: 1) Ms Claudia tried to change the diaper of our 1yr old daughter. She tired to have her lay down on a changing pad, which our little one would have none of it. Our girl was hysterically crying and trying to break free from this woman who has "extensive experience". We couldn't believe what we were seeing: Ms Claudia totally ignored our girls hysterical crying, and continued her "left-right" story as if this is normal. It is not normal. My wife made sure to let her know that our little one has never cried like this, not even during her vaccine shots! 2) During one of our visits, we heard barking from one of the rooms, and were told that one of the dogs recently gave birth that there were 6 puppies. I love dogs, but 6 puppies + 2 adult dogs in a fairly tight indoor space is not ideal when toddlers are trying to nap. We made sure to read the Parent Handbook and fill out the forms and pre-pay for the first month tuition, even though we were just starting the 4-week Trial Period. Our child only attended 2 days (in the Trial Period). I informed Ms Claudia that we will not continue further, and only ask that we are refunded for the pre-paid monthly tuition ($1,995). In her Parent Handbook (pg 14) it clearly states the following: "At any time during the four (4) week trial period, if the provider or family feels that this is not a suitable arrangement for the child, the contract can be terminated by either party without penalty, notice, or specific reason. The security deposit will be refunded in full and the family will only be responsible to pay for the days attended." Totally reasonable. We had no problem paying for the 2 (gentle days) she attended along with the non-refundable registration fee. But there is a catch! When I brought up the tuition refund, I was informed that the "tuition" is non-refundable. A tuition paid for a month in advance, where my child never attended a single day. You've gotta be kidding me! I will seek legal advice since this is clearly breach of the contract we signed with conflicting details.

Big Steps Educational Daycare has truly been a blessing for our family. From the first time we…read morewalked through the doors, we felt a warmth that only comes from a place built with love. It's not just a daycare--it's a safe place for children to learn, grow, and thrive in an environment that celebrates both excellence and diversity. As a "Black-owned business", Big Steps stands tall. Yet what makes it even more special is the variety of families and nationalities who bring their children here, each one welcomed with open arms. There is a strong sense of unity and shared peace of mind that every child is nurtured and valued, regardless of background. I've recommended Big Steps to other parents with full confidence. In fact, a couple I know has traveled all the way from Vallejo, California, across the bridge because of my recommendation. They expressed having the same beautiful experience. They've told me they would happily return if ever the need arises again. That kind of consistency and trustworthiness speaks volumes. One of the most helpful features is the Emergency Care option. Life is unpredictable, and knowing there's a trusted place where your child can be cared for on short notice is an incredible relief. There's even the possibility of holiday and weekend care, which is such a thoughtful addition for working or busy parents. I believe that places devoted to children's well-being should always strive to reflect the highest levels of character and integrity, not just in how children are treated, but in every interaction within the environment. Consistent professionalism creates an atmosphere that all families can feel completely comfortable in, which is vital when building a lasting sense of community and trust. Big Steps Educational Daycare is a community gem. I'm truly grateful for the care and kindness shown to our goddaughter and to others I've referred.

She stated she would be sending documents for us to review and also to fill the following Monday. We followed up and she replied that she would be sending them the following day. we waited for the next day but nothing, so we followed up again with our intent to get all required docs filled out and to send payment as soon as possible. she replied stating she would be sending something shortly. the entire day went by and nothing. We attempted to follow up a couple more times and it was no reply after that. This delayed our search for childcare as we needed it within a week of our first meeting. We would have appreciated the common courtesy to just get denial via text or even a call. We would have been able to keep our search going. We found it very unprofessional and also bizarre as she appeared very nice in person. I honestly don't know if we triggered her in some way, we were polite through all interactions and wanted to get her everything required to enroll our daughter. If she would have just told us no or that she did not want our business, we would have been fine and moved on. we would have appreciated not wasting our time or hers. I would give zero stars if I could.
