My two sons went to Play Learn Grow Daycare while we were living in San Diego. Due to moving quite…read morefrequently in the past few years I've experienced a lot of different daycares and none gave me the sense of comfort that I had leaving my kids with Jeanet and Kimy. I really wish there were more people in the world like them!! They were so nice, patient, and calm and that passed down to the kids. All the children at the daycare were so pleasant with one another and played well together while developing their learning and social skills. Most of us parents would stand around waiting for our kids to be ready to leave because they were having such a good time there. Trusting your daycare provider is really the best thing you can ask for. Thank you for everything!

We have been at Ms. Irma's for two years now. Our daughter began when she was a little over a year…read moreold. She is our first child, and it was difficult to think about leaving her with someone outside of the family, but our parents live in other parts of the state and we both work. We visited several daycare facilities before choosing Ms. Irma. When we met her we were immediately attracted to her warmth, responsibility, genuine care for children, and decades of experience. Looking back now, I'm so glad we made the choice to go with Ms. Irma. She is so consistent. This was very important for us; we had tried nanny shares in the past and so many nannies would cancel because they were sick or had obligations with their own children, or other reasons. Not Ms. Irma. In the two years we have been there, I can't remember a single day when Ms. Irma has closed unexpectedly. She has a schedule of standard holidays that are off and couple of weeks for the winter holiday, but other than that she is open every day. So reliable. Ms. Irma works incredible hard. Honestly I don't know how she does it, I wish I was as hard working as her. She is open early in the morning (7am) until 5pm in the afternoon. You can drop off and pick up your child anytime within that window. Healthy meals are provided with no extra cost to the family (again such as big plus for us bc our family is very busy and not having to worry about packing lunch is so helpful). Her space is always clean and orderly. She has a very high standard of cleanliness and wants it to be safe for the children. The days are well planned. There is free play, circle time, arts and crafts, lunch, nap time, etc. My daughter has learned so much at daycare (she calls it "school"). She has learned her abc's, to count beyond 30, to rhyme words, to spell her name, to read sight words, sounds associated with letters, and now she is learning to write letters and to blend sounds together to make words. She is now in love with reading. Ms. Irma takes the children through a structured curriculum and they are always doing a unit on something interesting--from famous artists to the life cycle of different insects--our daughter has come to understand a lot about the world that we haven't had a chance to talk about yet at home. The children also do an arts and crafts project each day and everyday my daughter proudly brings home something she has made. Ms. Irma treats my daughter as a member of her family and she tries to foster a sense of community among all the families who send their children to her daycare. She is trustworthy, honest, and loving. Thanks for everything Ms. Irma!

It's clear that the teachers genuinely love what they do and deeply care about the children. I love the excitement my daughter feels when she goes to school each day and the joy she shows when she talks about everything she's learned and experienced. She has truly blossomed socially and emotionally at Sagebrush Children's Center. The learning experiences and engaging activities they provide have also supported her development and readiness for kindergarten. We are hopeful that our youngest will have the opportunity to attend Sagebrush as well. Our experience there has been nothing short of wonderful.

Just updating my review after almost 1.5 years at AOP. We are obsessed with this place. Our toddler…read moreis engaged and learning so much here! Just a few things she definitely didn't learn from us: -"agua," "buh bye," "night night" -"all done" with sign language too -the sign for "milk" She also gets so much exercise and outdoor time on the play area and has learned how to climb up and push herself down the slide. We love that the app keeps us updated with photos and other events throughout the day (all food, diapers, naps). The staff also keep us updated if there are any sicknesses going around or if the group is going through anything challenging (like the biting phase!) and what they are doing to address it. Now that our baby is eating solids we love the convenience of all of her meals and milk being provided (included in the cost!). The meals are well-rounded and it's so cute that they all eat together at a table! I think it encourages my baby to eat more when she sees her friends doing so. We also love that they keep the cohort together and how the teachers move along with the kids from room to room as they grow. I am not sure if this will continue into preschool, but just having Miss Mariela from the infant to toddler phase has been a true blessing for us. I can't tell you how many times I have showed my mom friends the app or told them about the things AOP offers and they say "wow my daycare doesn't do all that!" It takes a village to raise kids these days. The first part is finding that village, and the second is finding one to love your baby like family. We have found that in AOP. They truly care about your child like their own

In the short few months she has attended, I noticed a complete change in her confidence level and attitude in what she can do and what she is willing to try.

The teachers are incredibly loving and thoughtful. I especially love the fact that they celebrate birthdays and holidays and create opportunities for parents to get to know each other, too. My child has grown by leaps and bounds, and his interactions with the other children are fun to see. The fact that meals are provided (bfast, lunch and snacks) is a godsend. Several daycares/preschools in the region claim to be Spanish immersion but aren't actually (e.g., they speak English to the kiddos). At Lulus, I feel like we get a truly authentic Spanish immersion program for our son, knowing instruction is exclusively in Spanish. And it shows. My son 100% understands Spanish when it is spoken to him and he mixes Spanish and English in his vocabulary regularly. I credit Lulus for a large part of that bilingual ability and look forward to seeing his fluency improve in the years to come. Highly recommend Lulus!!

Their approach to early childhood development is so balanced -- the perfect mix of structure, play, arts & crafts, language, yoga, exploration, and gentle guidance. We especially love how much time the students spend outside, learning through nature, movement, and hands-on experiences. The emphasis on community and culture is woven into everything they do, helping toddlers grow into thoughtful, curious, compassionate little humans. The price is extremely reasonable and the care is second to none. We couldn't be happier with Healthy Toddlers. It's a truly special place.

After being rejected by many, Lara from College Ave welcomed us with open arms, open hearts, and open minds. My daughter was able to attend this incredible preschool AND stay safe and well managed. The teachers and staff went above and beyond to ensure her safety and include her in all activities regardless of her disease. She was also fully prepped for UTK and Kinder- the preschool offers the perfect balance of play and structured learning. She was reading some site words and sounding out all her letters by age 4. The director knows each child BY NAME and greets everyone as you walk in. The campus is secured with a coded gate and the children are wonderfully cared for. And to top it all off- it's AFFORDABLE.
