Here are a few reasons why are extremely happy here: Preparing kids for TK - My son is always telling me about what he learned that day. It isn't just ABCs and counting, she does lessons on self-control, being a good friend, and science experiments. Pictures!!! - she uploads plenty of pictures everyday and gives a summary of what the kids did that day. Extremely dependable - there are minimal days that where she is closed and those are communicated well in advance. No meal prep - Mrs. Washington makes the kids lunch and snacks so we don't have to. Our son is happy with the food and has never once complained about it.

We've enjoyed our time at Mrs. Washington's childcare and take every opportunity to rave about our…read moreexperience. I can say with my whole chest that enrolling our daughter nearly a year ago was one of the best decisions we made as a family. There is nothing more important than community, and we have found it here. We reached major milestones with the support of Mrs. Washington that I didn't think we'd get to in the timeframe that we did e.g. dropping her paci, napping in a big girl bed, sitting on the potty, trying foods that she would absolutely NEVER eat at home lol, grasping writing utensils with a proper grip... I love that it feels like school in a loving, home environment. Our daughter is being exposed to so much learning through exploration and fun activities. Her vocabulary has exploded in the year we've been here... I love that I get so many updates throughout the day from images to nap updates, it's so great to be constantly aware of what they're doing day-to-day. I love that we don't have to bring anything at drop off-- we keep a water bottle there, all of her bedding is there and she provides all meals/snacks. For a busy working parent of 2 this is a HUGE win. I am a chatty patty and Mrs. Washington always makes time for me to discuss things that happened throughout the day/week/weekend. She is invested in the growth of our child and makes space to discuss options/recommendations that make sense for my kid. Childcare is a partnership, and so it's important for me to be on the same page as my childcare provider. I have always felt very in sync with her + appreciate her perspective to early childhood development + recommendations... I know my daughter is loved and affirmed here. She simply adores Mrs. Washington... I sometimes have to barter with her just to get her to leave :D

Home away from home daycare is named exactly what it is! My daughter has been going there for about…read more7 months now and we love our family. Everyday she gets so excited to get ready to go to school. Drop offs and pick ups are always great, it puts your mind at ease knowing you don't have to worry if your baby is safe and being taken care of when you're away. HAWFH is the absolute best place to send your child. As a first time mom who felt like she couldn't breathe without her child in eye sight now can go to work with no worries, I love getting picture mail throughout the day and updates of how she's doing. All the kids and staff are loving and bond well together. My baby loves showing off her learning skills telling me letters , numbers , objects , animals etc. That she is going over in daycare. . . . Places like these make you never want your baby to grow up and have to age out, but it the same thought love that she gets to have forever memories and beautiful experiences in her first learning environment. There is nothing bad that comes to mind when you think of HAFH, only thing is when it's Saturday and your baby wants her Titi instead of you lol! If you're looking for somewhere to send your little, look no further.

She's even insinuated me lying to her multiple times & tried to chastise the like as if I'm a child. She made us pay a $250 registration fee plus pay for embroidered uniforms before she decided to voice her issues. I tried my best to fix everything but she didn't want to reach a resolution and just wanted to argue. It was a waste of money and a waste of time. Thank God, I was able to find a better daycare with a respectful daycare owner in time but I wouldn't recommend sending your child here unless you have money to waste and you enjoy being disrespected.

Teacher Bonnie has been part of our family for the past four years, educating my two children for…read moretwo years each. Bonnie is a master of her profession. Her ability to connect with young children is extraordinary. She is joyful and kind, meeting kids with respect at their level. In this way she can fully engage them in the course work which integrates social/emotional, physical, creative and academic learning. This program truly nurtures the whole child. In recent weeks, since school has moved online, we have been more grateful than ever to have Teacher Bonnie in our lives. The simulation for our housebound children is priceless. Bonnie shares decades worth of teaching knowledge, resources and ideas to keep our kids developing, engaged in the world around them and connected socially. We would be lost without her.

Ms Chandra, I finally set aside some time to leave a review for you. When I made a huge job change…read moreback in August of 2019, Ms. Chandra made it possible for me to accept my job. She gave me reassurance that my children would be ok and they were and still are. I have my 4yr old daughter and my 1yr old son that attends Noble Soldiers. It was hard for me to leave my youngest but I felt ok because my daughter is with him. In most settings I do my best to keep my littles together and most daycares fill up quick leaving no room for duos. In the mornings breakfast is ready and waiting and shortly after they start the day with lessons, circle time, and crafts. When weather permits they go outside and play and have a good ol time with fun music to listen too. They get a good time slot for nap after lunch, and before you know it after the afternoon snack it's time to head home. Ms Chandra and Ms Chaunie are very attentive and patient. They take their time when it comes to teaching as they do know that every child develops at their own pace. When it comes to kindness, they make sure that everyone treats each other with love and respect. At drop off my kids are made to feel like celebrities when they walk through the door and are instantly greeted with hugs from all their friends including Ms Chandra and Ms Chaunie. One thing I can say is that my children are loved, I've never gotten a bad vibe or felt at some point my children were being mishandled or mistreated. As far as health concerns and communication Ms Chandra stays on top of all. Mainly to keep all the kids safe and healthy, and most importantly to maintain a stable environment for all parents to drop their children off, and maintain their daily work schedules. When it comes to learning my daughter has shown me so many things she's worked on and learned. It does a big help, when we come home and do homework and she's excited to study and get her work finished. My son on the other hand is learning as he goes and he'll eventually be like his fellow peers. Thank you Ms Chandra, Ms Chaunie, and the entire family at Noble Soldiers for allowing a safe and loving place for my children to spend their days while I'm away at work.

Nay at Whooz Watching the Kids is a true Godsend! I was a vulnerable new mom with a little 4 month…read moreold baby girl about to go back to work when I met Ms. Nay. After going around to a few daycares, both home and facilities, I knew I found the place when I met her and saw her home. All my worries went away... just like that. What I loved about her was that she was also a mother of girls who were both doing very well for themselves. Education is one of Nay's passions and priorities, and her daughters' success in school and work is a result of her dedication. I knew that she would be teaching my daughter well if she was under her care. I was fortunate to watch her grow up there and become family. Nay's youngest daughter became her first best friend! There were never more than 4 kids total, so she had lots of one-on-one time with Nay, but still got the socialization from the other kids. This is what I loved about Nay's daycare setting. Whooz Watching the Kids is not a place you drop your kids off and wonder if they are getting anything from being there. Nay is structured when it's time to be on schedule and learn, but when it was playtime, she lets the kids be free! She always let the kids play in the water in summertime, play in the dirt, dig up worms, raise butterflies, paint, play with playdough and kinetic sand year round. At the same time, my daughter knew her ABC's, counting to 10 and drawing pictures before age 2, she was counting to 20 and cutting paper by age 3. The only reason we left was to transition to preschool. But since then, Nay and I have become great friends. I trust my kids in her care on any given day.

Teacher Sherie Cigar James had a truly positive impact during the three years our son spent at…read moreLittle Seedlings Preschool in Inglewood. Although we moved a few months ago, her influence is something we continue to see as he moves forward into TK. What stood out most to us was how deeply she cared about her students and how intentional she was about making sure they got the absolute most out of their time with her. We also want to recognize the other teachers, Ms. Snobia and Mrs. Cynthia, who were equally loving and caring and helped create such a positive environment for the kids. She had clear goals for what she wanted her students to leave with before graduating from her program. She worked with them on writing their names, counting to 100, learning the days of the week, months, colors, planets, and basic shapes. But what stood out to us was that she cared just as much about social and emotional growth. She spent time helping the kids understand their feelings, talk through emotions, and build confidence alongside academics. Sherie always found ways to make holidays exciting with visits from the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and little moments that made school feel special. There was also so much time for play and being outside, which was something we really valued. Henry spent his days running, exploring, and playing instead of sitting in front of a TV. Outdoor time was clearly something Sherie valued and made part of the daily experience. Her own family has a strong running background, and you could see little pieces of that come through during outdoor time with running drills and active play. Henry absolutely loved it and still loves to run today. We really believe those preschool years helped build his confidence, love of movement, and an active lifestyle. One thing we will never forget is the support she gave to our family during a difficult season. During cancer treatment, some of our appointments were extremely early and far away, and there were days Sherie opened at 5-6am to help support us. That level of care went far beyond preschool. She showed up for our family in ways we'll never forget. We're so grateful Henry had the opportunity to be part of this community. Sherie, Ms. Snobia, and Mrs. Cynthia created memories, built confidence, and gave him such a strong start. To us, they became more than teachers, and we'll always look back on our time at Little Seedlings with so much appreciation and love.

Dr. Jackson, who is the owner of FLA is an excellent communicator and really cares about each child's well being. What's most important to me is that my child absolutely loves FLA. Sometimes when I pick her up at the end of the day she tells me she wants to stay. She also gets excited about attending on a daily basis. Some other great features are the hours (7:30-5:30) and flexible scheduling. We currently attend 3 days a week but if we I need 4 days that's an option as well. If we are traveling or have plans I can change up the days my daughter attends. My husband and I often discuss how thankful we are for FLA and it comes highly recommended on our behalf.
