Mrs. Tina and Chester are more than teachers to our kids, they are family. They taught my youngest how to be a leader and an extraordinary helper! He was so shy when he started and now he is so caring and outgoing, not to mention they also potty trained him. My older son excelled so much when they were preparing him for TK. I can't wait to send my daughter here. I can't say enough good things about them. Every teacher there is so awesome, and you can tell they really love the kids.

Anyway, let's talk about how they pull parents from the line to talk about how their 3 year old can't sit still. I've witnessed this numerous times with other moms, how humiliating. But the worst part of it all is that THIS preschool will reprimand a toddler for not sitting still for circle time then condemn your parenting as if it's not being practiced at home. The kicker is when I pulled my son out, teacher Sara was too salty to give me my son's year supply of snacks back.

We…read morechecked out a few different schools, and this school was the only one where I felt completely confident that my child would be safe and loved. There is a Tuesday/Thurs option for younger kids, Mon/Wed/Fri for older, and also a Monday-Friday if you're looking for a more full time program. Great communication with parents from teachers, art projects, circle time, learning through play etc I appreciate how safe they were during the height of the pandemic as well with temperature checks at the door and contactless check in. Highly recommend checking out

I wanted to give an update. Once my child transitioned to preschool, I noticed the teachers looked…read moreburnt out and not so happy. Turn around of the staff is high. Ms Ayanna, Mr Alex and Mr Damian were amazing teachers to my son though, shout out to them!

This place needs new management. Current Director is more concerned for her job than the kids…read moresafety. The Director Erika Silva was upset because I called licensing on this location, a child was found unattended by me. She proceded to claim I was "unhappy" and Kindercare decided to remove me from their program. This is called Retaliation! She should not be in child care if this causes her "stress and anxiety" per her bosses words. Not to mention that my child was bullied at this place for months and she failed to handle the situation. I feel for the staff because they are following her ways to avoid retaliation from her because if they are not on her side she will find a way to push them out. I been at this location for over 2 years and staff come and go. I seen very great teacher just up and quit because of her. Its sad!

It's been a pleasure watching her blossom into this kind, creative and caring little soul. Miss Parisa deserves all the credit in the world. She's curated this perfect little preschool paradise, and the teachers around her are equally as patient, dedicated and insightful. The class sizes are just right- Each child receives plenty of individual attention, while having just enough other kids to learn and play alongside. We plan on sending our youngest when she's ready as well. What they've done here in Benicia is truly something special, you should definitely check them out.

Starlight preschool has been amazing! The teachers are so friendly and helpful. My son has really…read moreenjoyed going to preschool now that we started coming here. The atmosphere is refreshing and different from other places. Just visit to see how great they are with the children. Its normal to be a little worried having your child out during such crazy times but they have a cleaning crew that comes in to clean which I can tell makes a difference. I thought the smaller playground would be a negative but it seems to actually help the teachers see and interact with the children more. My son mentions the outdoor play as one of his favorite times. Very happy we found this place!

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.

We felt that way from the infant room through the toddler room, all the regular teachers and even the "floaters". I feel so grateful for the love and safety they've provided to all three of my children-- I've never had to worry that my children were well cared for while I was at work. They are also very thoughtful with teaching the kiddos new topics each week, and they do tons of art. The facility is also very new-- new paint, new carpets, new play structures. I highly recommend Sunshine house.

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!

Our children have been going to MeeMee's Lil Grasshoppers for the past 7 years. My older daughter…read morewent there first starting around age 2 until she began kindergarten. 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!

Miss Sophia even drew monsters by hand for the kids to paint. Every artistic detail of today's event was very thoughtful and our Brickspace team was so attentive to each kids' needs. We even got ideas on how to organize our toys at home seeing how everything is neatly displayed in this venue. Would recommend to all!
