Ms. Art and Ms. Dianne, the Director & Assistant Director, know every parent and child enrolled and make sure to greet them by name as soon as they walk through the building and see them. And Ms. Asii is always greeting us good morning at drop offs! These interactions always feel warm and welcoming. The school itself feels safe with a passcode needed to enter and livestream cameras in every classroom. The communication throughout the day is very convenient. You get info updated on the SproutAbout app like diaper changes, feedings, activities, and naps! Since enrolling my son, the teachers and staff have shown so much kindness to him. They have all built great rapport with him and he enjoys spending time there. Every lead/support teacher he has had has made such a great impact on him. He has learned so much from being kind to others with gentle hands in the infant class to learning colors and planting seeds to grow in the twos class! We are looking forward to more that's coming as he continues to grow here. I would recommend this childcare option 100%!

Its relatively clean. But It did not elevate my child. They didnt have interesting creatives. They never have photos or daily updates of any meaningful way. We switched and in the new program, it blew us away what was possible. Multiple updates theoughout the day with photos, projects, art, science and more; field trips etc. Im not saying this is a terrible program, but I could not in good conscience recommend it unless what i described are positives are what you seek. 3/5 is generous and fair. This is my honest review.

From the very first day, the staff has been warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. My child absolutely loves coming to "school" and has grown so much socially, emotionally, and developmentally in just a short time. The daily structure, activities, and clean, safe environment gives me peace of mind for my little one. The teachers take the time to really get to know each child and tailor their care to each little personality. If you're looking for a nurturing, professional, and enriching place for your child this is it. I'm beyond grateful to have found them!

Did a drop in visit and I cannot recommend this place due to the appearance. Small house- good student to teacher ratio. Play space for kids age 2 was like the size of my kitchen. The older group had a good instruction area with the teacher. But the place was just dirty and had a lot of stuff all over along the walls taking up walk space. Backyard was so cool! But- 100% dirt and I can imagine the grime my son would come home with. (Dirt angels wears my vision). Lots of cool animals. Personal hygiene is important to me and I'll leave it at that... employees seemed nice- kids well-behaved. Front yard - beautiful but the fence was so low that anyone walking by could pick a kid and run. I mentioned this and she said- we're only out here if not raining and for the last hour of the day for pick up. Eek- it only takes a second! Safety- cleanliness do not meet my expectations. Never enrolled Many great reviews! Just not for me

Great little preschool! Both teachers are awesome, sweet…read moreand knowledgeable, my son loves going to school. Only 2 classes: morning and afternoon, about 10 kids in the class. They enjoy a huge yard, and a big classroom. Kids don't sit down to trace letters and numbers (although they do learn those too), they learn to be in other kids's company, follow instructions, sit in circle time, play with others and participate in the classroom. Essential stuff at 3, 4 years old.

I love that my daughter is cared for by all of the grown-ups who volunteer in the classroom, and that she has a relationship with each of them. I love that parent education classes are a part of the JMPNS tradition because it makes me feel like we're all figuring out parenting together rather than feeling competitive or isolated. I love that this school is a community project: The school really does reflect the values - of accessibility, equity, cooperation - that are important to the folks who choose to come here, and we're also always experimenting with how to do better. My family is in our second year, and we'll be here for another 2 with our second child!

The principal, Ms. Yvonne, is very hands-on and always available when you need to speak with her. The assistant principal, Ms. Katie, consistently goes above and beyond. Ms. Roy and Ms. C are by far the best teachers your child could have--they ensure the kids are learning every day while having fun, and they care for them genuinely and kindly. If you enroll your child(ren) here, they will definitely be well-prepared for TK or Kindergarten.

During the day we get occasional photos of our son enjoying his day. He gets breakfast and lunch and they have activities throughout the day. I loved seeing my son's progression going here as a toddler. Communication is great here. The ladies are always a text/phone call away and they keep us in the loop if there's any accidents. One of the things I like most about this daycare is when they send my son home with the arts and crafts he does during the day which really brings joy after a day of work!

We tried one day care before here and it was horrible leaving my 3 year old scared to go to day care. When we finally found SunLake Daycare both my mom and I knew it was the right place. The level of kindness and organization were the first green flags! This is a lovely family who have spent the time and energy making their home a fun exciting place for the kids they care for. My son LOVES going and will easily jump in the car for this. Just yesterday he asked if he could bring his school friends cupcakes because he wants to do something for them. The way this showed me how loving the staff and the children here are to my son means the world to me. They consistently send photos of my child engaging in so many fun activities. It puts me to ease knowing he's being loved and engaged with! What a hidden gem!

I would highly recommend DOT tot! My children currently attend here and have for the past 2+ years…read more Finding childcare initially was such a difficult task. I am a "planner" and had toured many places and got on waitlists early at the time. Initially I didn't think dot tot would be in my top choices because we do not live near or work downtown so location wise it was not ideal and even today is quite far but so worth it for both the overall cost and quality care! I remember with many tours liking some other facilities that felt big and new, because dot tot is an older building in general, but when I asked about the more important aspects, like teacher retention and years of service, some of the "newer" places had major red flags, like teachers that have all only been there a year, or the most seasoned person being there "3 years" while dot tot blew me away- they have 2 teachers that have been there since the 80's! The director is very proactive and has been there 20+ years and most other staff have been going on at least 3-5+ years now. This really speaks to the culture of the place and that they treat each other well and care about the work they do. I have also seen over time with my little ones and the various classrooms how helpful they are across all the rooms and with each other as an overall center. This gave me such great peace of mind compared to considering either a nanny at home that would have no accountability from someone else around, or larger centers that seemed like each class was their own "island" with little support from other teachers. Logistically, they also provide ALL the wipes, diapers, and milk [once they're past breastmilk/formula] meals and snacks. This makes packing up SO much easier each day, and that being included into the cost is amazing. It is still one of the most affordable places somehow, likely because it is a non-profit! It also has a board of directors run by current parents so participation is really key and helpful and has kept up a culture of people that truly care about the kids, the environment they're learning in, and the teachers well-being too. I may come to later regret this review if I eventually have another baby and then there's a longer waitlist now for this awesome center, but your little ones would be in very caring hands here! It is never easy to hand over your most precious baby to anyone, but these gals are amazing in the daily work they do- they are so calm, patient and kind with them and truly care for the children they look after.
