They are so warm, so organized, so clean, and they made our girl feel so safe and so comfortable. She kept coming home talking about how much she loves her friends and teachers.

I was one of the lucky ones to secure an infant spot for my son at Isa's daycare back in August…read more2022. I found her on Yelp and desperately needed a daycare for my son, since my daughter's previous home daycare in San Gabriel closed and we had no other help. Isa always responded to my calls about the waitlist. I kept in contact with her for a couple of months and she always gave me updates. She called me one day suddenly to tell me one of the current kids was moving which freed up a spot for my son. It was the best news ever and I remember feeling so relieved and full of joy knowing that my son would be in good hands when I returned to work full time. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. She was so flexible and accommodating with my husband's and my work schedule when we requested a weekend tour. She was willing to give us a tour on the weekend even when she was super busy and was so kind. We were impressed with everything we saw and knew right away this was the perfect "home away from home" for our son. My son was under Isa's care since he was 5 months old until 2+ years, along with two other loving caregivers, Ms. Elida and Ms. Diana, who were all the sweetest ladies. We left only because we moved out of state. Otherwise we would've stayed at Isa's until he started pubic school. During that entire time, Isa was so kind, understanding, and incredibly patient with my millions of questions. She was very accommodating to my son's needs, took his medical issues seriously, and made sure he was well taken care of daily. She always kept me posted on his updates via text and let me know as soon as there were any issues so we were always aware of everything. It gave me a peace of mind leaving my son with her full time, knowing she had decades of experience, knowledge, and skills with childcare. I knew he was in good hands. My son always had a smile on his face when I picked him up every day. I always found myself going to her for advice on different things (illness symptoms, baby products, milestones, trying new foods, potty training, etc) because I trusted her and valued her opinion. She was always respectful, polite, professional, and easy to reach. She responded quickly via text, email, or phone call. If she was busy, she would call back as soon as she could and would apologize right away. Her home daycare is charming, beautiful, and well maintained. I always loved seeing all the vibrant flowers and lush plants on her front lawn. Everything was super clean, indoors and outdoors. Her backyard is a child's dream- it is bigger than I expected for a modest home with a large tricycle lane, play houses, and a garage converted into a secondary playroom with a train table, sand table, swings, and tons of other fun toys. I LOVE her backyard. She prepared all the healthy and nutritious meals and snacks herself every day. My son learned so much every day, including some Spanish words which was very impressive. They celebrate birthdays and holidays and send the cutest photos with festive backgrounds and props (my favorite one was the Valentine Party when my son wore heart shaped sunglasses). The daycares around our new community is pretty horrifying (high staff turnovers, staff shortage, communication issues, bad reviews, unsanitary, etc.) and it makes me wish we were back in California just so my son can still be at Isa's every day. I knew Isa's place was a high quality daycare with high standards, but I didn't realize how good it was until we moved to our new neighborhood. It is sad, frustrating, and disappointing to see so many daycares here that just don't have the same level of quality and high standards that Isa has. Even though the daycare cost was like our monthly rent, looking back now I realized it was totally worth it. The rate is competitive in the neighborhood (bordering South Pasadena). The quality of care from experienced and consistent staff who are passionate, dedicated, patient, and love caring for a group of babies and young kids on a daily basis is very impressive. I highly recommend Baches Family Daycare. If I could give 10 stars on Yelp, I would without any hesitation. Isa and her team felt like family. Thank you SO much, Isa, Elida, and Diana, for everything you've done for my son! We are so grateful for you and miss you all! I wish my son can still go to your daycare!

I felt my child will be safe, secure, nurtured, and attended to as a 5 month old infant under Ms Ling and Ms Crystal care. I have visited many other home daycare and they were either too big of an environment when I feel my child needs will not be noticed or attended to in a timely matter. I notice Ms Ling also offers daily home made meals and hands on educational activities for the older children- which I wish my child was older to participate in.

In response to the as expected response of lack of customer service on this public forum and not to…read moreour emails or texts: - We did not miss a window to confirm that would impact the price we paid, at no point did we ask nor expect them to hold a spot for our child. Documents were provided and we took our time to review them. There was no enrollment deadline communicated where we could not enroll after a certain date. We knew that spots may be taken as we did our due diligence. - Yes, we signed a contract, but that contact did not list a $900+ fee in it at all. - I only asked for tuition and supply fees back (not the deposit nor registration fee), so the institution would still be compensated $750 for all the difficult "re-calculating" being done. - This institution's level of respect for its customers is clear. --------------------------------------------------------- This is not a review on their child care abilities, rather a review on their business practices. The owner of this business is primarily focused on getting your money more than anything else. We contacted them about short term childcare and received an email about costs that included $500 and $250 for registration and deposit, supply costs, tuition etc. And then another $900+ charge "for staff paid leave" on top of all that, for which the owner tried to explain but neither my wife nor I could understand. Given the uncertainty, we asked her again to specifically list out how much we would need to pay to get our child in on a specific date and the owner responded with screen shots of documents and circled specific numbers. No where in these screen shots, communications, nor the contract we signed was the $900+ charge included. Despite our better judgement, we Zelled the first months payment plus all the fees, after that was sent over she brought up the $900+ charge after the fact. While she did offer to waive this fee after we protested, after all this nickel and diming and dishonest charging structure, we no longer felt comfortable working with this individual. Less than 24 hrs of sending the money, we requested a refund and we were called scammers saying we wasted their time. Now I understand by this point she may not have received the money through Zelle, but we then followed up several times in the following week when she 100% received the funds and we only asked for our tuition and supply fees back (not the registration nor deposit). She's since ghosted us and is apparently keeping our money ($2k+) for no work. I'm sure we'll get some response here, but won't be getting our money back. If you do follow the advice of the previous reviewer to look them up on the California's department of social services for complaints, they operate under the business name "ZHANG & WANG FAMILY CHILD CARE" https://www.ccld.dss.ca.gov/carefacilitysearch/FacDetail/198019607

We have had a very positive experience here at Little Fox. Our baby started here at 15 mos, and we…read moreare very sad to be leaving now after 7 mos. We found Little Fox in the neighborhood because older sister's Korean daycare didn't take children under 2 yrs. We are transitioning to older sister's daycare now. Little Fox was great because it was close, and Leilei speaks Korean! And at this point, I don't mind how much Korean she's getting (because she'll be getting it at her new daycare), but also she's been exposed to Mandarin! The Mandarin she got with Nainai and Yeye was an added bonus. It was so sweet to see her go to Yeye at dropoff. Sure, this child (who currently has stranger anxiety for everyone) likes old Asian men for some reason, but it was so reassuring that she found comfort and loving arms in Grandpa. The transition took about two weeks when we started. After the two weeks, she was no longer crying and adjusted well to her new surroundings. I get reports that her eating ability is superior. Even with her food allergies, which they were able to accommodate for us. We were looking for childcare immediately when we found this daycare, but I'm oh-so-glad we were able to be part of this sweet family and their sweet daycare.

She brings all of that plus a truly loving touch that can't be replicated. I learned so much about parenting and ways to help my son grow, learn and communicate while he was there.

She is very flexible on pick up times (as long as it is before 6pm) which is huge for my work schedule as I am an independent contractor and music teacher so my schedule is very inconsistent.

As a single father and working multiple jobs just to get by, Smith Family Daycare is not only a blessing to be able to work around my schedule but also extremely welcoming each time I come pick up my daughter. On holidays or birthdays she will have events with the kids and invite families and parents to come spend time with them so Frances always makes me feel welcome when I come and if there any questions I have about my daughter's Moods or behaviors she would be more than happy to take time and talk to me about everything. She's a real truly dedicating provider for everyone who goes through here and I could not even thank her enough for what she has done. Not too mention my daughter loves spending time there and hanging out with the other kids. I always come to pick her up and she is happy and tells me all about her friends at daycare.

When searching for childcare for my infant son, I visited numerous daycare facilities to find one that was right for our family. I visited both chain daycares and at-home facilities in Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, and Los Angeles. It was hard for me to find a place that I liked and felt truly comfortable with, especially because my son was just a few months old. I heard positive reviews about Gonzalez Family Child Care from extended family members and decided to schedule a visit. Gabriela was friendly and professional and answered all of my questions both on the phone and during my visit. I loved that the place is extremely organized and CLEAN. You can tell they take pride in their work and genuinely care about the children. They are easily accessible throughout the day and even send me photos of my little one from time to time. My son loves it here and all of the kids are really well-behaved. They've worked with him to reach various milestones, such as sitting up and crawling, which has been great. I'm so happy I found this daycare, and plan on keeping my son here until he's ready to start preschool.
