Mersiha has been an amazing addition to our family! My daughter has been with her since she was 4…read moremonths. This was my first baby and I was apprehensive about daycare; however, I went through a lot of nannies due to scheduling conflicts. When I went to Mersiha, you could tell she had a love for children and what she did for a living AND carried around a planner to set up dates far out in advance. I love how organized she is and how she interacts with kids. As a pediatric nurse with no family in the area, it was a God send to have Mersiha's family daycare around the corner. She was flexible with my crazy 12 hour shifts. She is very reliable and I have never had issues with having the coverage that I needed. Her prices are very reasonable for the area. Her attention to detail is amazing and she was even willing to support all of my first mom needs. We had an app and she would chart to appease my neurotic nursing nature. She helped me with getting Rhiley on a schedule and would alert me to any issues that were present with our little one. It's amazing how she keeps track of it all. I loved how much fun I could tell Rhiley had from spending a full day with Mersiha and the other kids. You could tell how much they both loved each other. And I loved how big of a smile Rhiley and Mersiha had when they would both see each in the morning or evening. My heart is broken that we are having to relocate but hopefully this is a see you later and not a goodbye. We miss her already and wish that we could take her with us! I highly recommend Mersiha's Family Daycare for any childcare needs that you have in the Bay Area. She is literally THE BEST!

In addition to their love and care, they provided her with enriching activities to promote her cognitive, social, and motor development. My husband and I are both teachers, so we said goodbye for the summer. On her last day, we were both so touched by the kinds words her teachers shared with us. From the first time we toured the facility last summer, Ceci made our family feel welcomed at KindCare. On the first day we dropped our daughter off, Lupe made us feel like she was safe and in good hands. Brielle could always get a smile from our daughter and made sure to share all of her accomplishments with us. Brielle also said her laughter would sometimes wake up the other babies... so sorry about that! I always appreciated how Brielle and Lupe always took the time at pick up to describe our daughters day. They would also share observations and things we could look out for at home. Tamera and Sarah rounded out the team in the infant room and contributed the positive environment.

They over-promised in the tour and under-delivered. They told us they would have someone watching the infants sleeping at all times, and I never saw anyone in that area of the room. Also, they let babies cry without helping them and the teachers don't know developmental milestones and do developmentally inappropriate activities with infants. The teachers ask you for heads up before you arrive, and I quickly realized why the one time I didn't give a heads up. They were neglecting my 3 month old daughter. The director, Amber, defends the staff who spends lots of time on their phones rather than caring for the infants. Beware of bringing your infants to this place.

The staff was extremely…read morewelcoming and helped to make his transition (and mine) as easy as it could be for his first day care experience. I really value that this is a family-run facility. Everyone who works there that I've encountered makes the school a warm environment for my son during the day, from the director to the teachers to the kitchen and cleaning staff. He's now in the preschool program for 3-4 year olds & he loves it. The teachers are very well-qualified and have the patience of saints. The daily reports are a great reference for me when I pick him up, so I can better understand how he spent his day and what lessons they covered from one day or week to the next. Since he started there in November, I can see his self-confidence growing and his social development and conceptual skills have increased tremendously. It's fun to see him carry over these lessons and concepts from preschool to home. I'd recommend Swift for any parent, whether this is you're first child or you're fourth child.

They have an attached outdoor playground, which is nice! Breakfast is provided if your child gets there by 8. Lunch and snacks are also provided. It is a nut free facility. Cubbies are clearly labeled if a child has an allergy! It is organized perfectly! Poko Loko definitely has a family vibe!

Since we moved to Chicago we have been doing our very best and paying out of pocket for him to get speech and occupational therapy. After just 2 months at Poko Loko and 3 separate instances of being called to pick up our son early due to screaming and hitting another child (he's 3 years old) we were patronizingly told by the owner Bonnie "in 52 years of experience I've only had to ask 2 other children to leave. You have until Fall." Statements like that aren't helpful, they make me feel bad about my son, and they are unprofessional. I seriously doubt that my son is the only difficult child they've had, and if so, then their experience is worthless, because they are unwilling to help or even give him time to settle in from a major transition like moving across the country. Before we were asked to leave the center, the manager and owner made no effort to guide us (52 years of experience right?), come up with an action plan, and offered no insight on local resources to help our son. They wanted us out. This review primarily addresses the Owner and manager. The teachers tried. The moral of the story is that they are simply looking for a frictionless tuition check while making little effort to actually help the parents and children. All while charging top dollar rates. I am very disappointed in the unprofessionalism and the downright rude way in which we were asked to leave the center. I made it known that the next time a child needs some help, offering more support and guidance using their years of experience might help the parents and kid more than a simple goodbye.
