I have taken my time to write this review until after my daughter left the school because of course…read moreI wanted to get a more bird eye view. With that in mind, I wanna say I am deeply grateful for this school. They have great systems in place with low ratio and really teach the little ones a lot while they're there. I can solidly say that at two years old my daughter can count from one to 20 and sing the whole alphabet along with about 15 different nursery, rhymes and stack blocks and has very advanced fine motor and motor skills because of the school. I'm a licensed OT and always felt safe with and confident in staff. Mrs. Nali, Mrs Dhammika, and Mrs Nayana are well educated in this age group, patient, and loving. All of the staff are truly wonderful. We went from infant, to wobbler, to toddler and transitioned very well. I don't know the frequency but every time my child which class they gave me a comprehensive developmental checklist to tell me what my child was doing or wasn't doing that was on track for proper development or not and that is huge. When you're a busy parent and don't always notice some of the things that Are typical or atypical to have some professional eyes to help you understand where your child is developmentally is huge. They are CPR trained and do a great job with making sure they're fed and changed consistently. My baby never came home hungry or never was crying when I picked her up and never got diaper rash there. If you choose to be part of the little app, you will get photos of your child. Once every couple weeks in the classroom is playing with the other children. They also send little videos and they do little Halloween parades and classroom parties. The Christmas parade is precious too! The focus of MONTESSORI is self-sufficiency which as an occupational therapist I really love. She would come home and if she spilled something, she would run right away to try to clean it up. She very much wanted to learn how to do things on her own and she knew how to threw away her own trash, which was not something I taught her at home necessarily lol It truly is adorable and prepares your baby for a successful road ahead with school and life beyond. My only thing I would change is having carpet or soft floor in the infant room vs hard floors. Other than that, everything really is done perfectly, and they have a lovely little outdoor space that they take them to a few times a day where they can ride bikes and do the slide and all of that. Learning how to operate in a group and look at what the rest of the group is doing and follow along is a critical life skill, and my baby has transitioned to preschool seamlessly because of her experience at this other school. In fact, one of her current teachers used to work at Wee care as well and has positive things to say.

A true reflection of Wee Care's dedication, and nourishing environment.

We leave this review with so much love and appreciation for Ms. Dhammika, Nali, Maria, Mary, Dima, Alondra, Derrika, Melanie and the rest of their teachers!

Looking back one year later as a first-time mom, I wish I had known what to expect before enrolling…read moreour 10-month-old daughter at Sunshine. On her first day, we were told that babies who were not yet independent might not be the best fit. As parents dropping our baby off for the first time, we left feeling more judged than supported. We also noticed through the daycare app that she was often seated in a high chair for extended periods, which raised concerns for us. During her first week, we felt discouraged when there seemed to be little patience for the fact that our 10-month-old wasn't immediately able to nap on the same schedule as the older toddlers. We expected there to be an adjustment period. When she became sick during her first week--a common experience for many children starting daycare--we felt our concerns were dismissed and were told it was likely just the weather. We ultimately decided to move our daughter to another daycare, where she has thrived. She is now 2 years old, loves going to school, and has a wonderful relationship with her teachers. That experience showed us how important a patient and supportive environment is during those early transitions. I'm sharing our experience because I know how vulnerable first-time parents can feel. Every family's experience may be different, but Sunshine was not the right fit for ours.

We needed a place we could feel safe and trust as I navigated working full time with an infant. Miss Shohreh and her staff exceeded our expectations.

I love how naturally they integrate early learning into the day--my kids are mastering their alphabet and counting well before starting school. They also provide nutrient-rich, healthy meals that have been wonderful for helping the children form great overall eating habits. Both of my children adore being there and actually miss it during long holiday breaks. It gives our family such peace of mind knowing Leslie has created an environment where my kids genuinely love to be.

I highly recommend Little Sprouts. I have been taking my son here since he was just 8 months old…read more He is now 4 years old. During this time Leslie, who has raised 5 children of her own, and her associates have done a wonderful job of caring for my son treating him as a part of their family. I leave him there everyday with the peace of mind knowing that he is in good hands. They do activities throughout the day and Leslie, being a former teacher herself, ensures that kids are always being prepared for entry into kindergarten - not just in terms of learning ABC's and phonetics but also steering kids so their behavior and social skills are developing well. Leslie must have infinite patience, as my kid is a handful and at times and drives me nuts. I don't know how she does it, but I believe it is part of her wonderful personality. Kids are happy to be there. She sends pictures of the events they have for kids' birthdays, holidays, etc. She gives parents honest feedback about behavior and areas in need of improvement. Finally, I feel it's important to mentiom that the entire Chim Family is excellent, rooted in the highest of values. You can trust them with your most precious little ones. I know I have for the past 3 and half years.

I start swimming at 6 opening time in the morning. Quiet, fresh, and fun to talk to the other swimmers. We have a challenge event to go to Catalina Island from LB from March and end in April. I almost finished one way to go there. I went to Catalina Island in the past and now I am back by swimming. Haha... super fun, relaxing in the beautiful upgraded heated pool, very spacious at the deck, lots of benches, and bbq area, jaccuzi, and etc. If you are a swimmer like me, you should come to try it out. If you love Aqua Aerobic, join the classes to workout w great music, awesome instructors everyday. You don't need to go to the other vacation resorts during Summer. Perfect get away to relax everyday.

Finding Busy Little Bees Licensed Home Daycare in Long Beach was truly a blessing for our family…read more Our son started with Anna as an infant at 11 months old and has been in her wonderful care all the way until nearly age 5. Anna isn't just a childcare provider; she has become like a second mother to him and an invaluable part of our community. Leaving your baby with someone is never easy, but her nurturing, safe, and engaging environment gave us complete peace of mind every single day. She has supported his growth through every milestone--from those early baby months through toddlerhood ( potty training) and early preschool readiness. The love, patience, and dedication Anna, Denise and her team pours into the children are unmatched, and our son adores them all. If you are looking for exceptional infant care, a trustworthy home daycare, or a nurturing preschool alternative in the Long Beach area, do not hesitate to call. We are so deeply grateful for the foundation she provided our family.

She had a pacifier and was in diapers still when she started at BLB, and is now 5 years old and starting Kindergarten at a school, we're afraid is too far from BLB, otherwise we'd love for her to keep going to after school care. BLB is a home away from home for our daughter. We appreciate all the caregivers, especially Ms. Anna, Ms. Denise and the assistants who have all been loving, kind and caring. BLB has given a place for our daughter to grow and blossom. We will always remember her time there as a special time in all our lives!

Their flexibility and warmth really helped put me at ease during a transition that felt very big for our family. One thing I really appreciated was the daily photos and the updates we would receive at pick-up. It helped me feel connected to her day and reassured me that she was happy, safe, and engaged. The biggest sign of how wonderful this place is was how my daughter responded. She would run right in at drop-off without hesitation and often talked about her teachers and friends at home. It was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. We also saw so much growth in her during the time she was there. She became more social, more confident, and really started to come out of her shell. For the level of care, communication, and attention the children receive, the value is truly there. Finding childcare you can trust is priceless, and we always felt like she was in good hands. We are very grateful for the care she received and would absolutely recommend this daycare to other families looking for a nurturing and trustworthy environment.

Mrs. Nesha and Ms. Helene genuinely love the kids, and it shows every single day. My daughter gets the perfect balance of affection and encouragement to be independent. I love seeing what she does at school because they inspire her to explore and learn in ways I don't always think to do at home. The communication is top-notch, and getting photos throughout the day is truly the highlight of my day. By being a Turner Cub, Gia has become smarter, braver, and more social.
