She met so many wonderful people--both children and adults--who left a lasting impression on her. She continued with EmpowerME throughout the pandemic and has participated in their school-age programs during breaks ever since. Now, she's preparing to enter 6th grade! In 2024, I had a baby, and as soon as she turned six months old, she started attending EmpowerME as well. Every morning when I drop her off, her face lights up when she sees the staff. Leaving my baby in daycare was nerve-wracking at first, but the staff made it so much easier by keeping me updated on everything happening with her. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and I truly believe that EmpowerME and their amazing staff have been a vital part of my village for the past five years. I couldn't be more grateful!

They ask you to pack food for meals and will not heat up your child's food so be prepared to pack cold foods only. The staff just seemed annoyed more than anything at my son as he had a hard time adjusting to his new schedule. Just about everyday he cried upon drop off and pick up. Understandably there were growing pains, but even now at his current child care facility he adjusted within 2 weeks. The staff was avoidant when we tried asking questions and when we were able to talk to them (the little conversation we were able to have) they tried to keep it as short as possible with no elaboration. The worst came less than two weeks in. There was an incident that happened which ultimately resulted with my son needing stitches in his face from one of the teachers trying to pick him up from his cot before nap time to change his diaper. The story still is not clear and conveniently there was no video of what happened and no proper incident report was provided even after requested. Hopefully others have a better experience here and everyone can be kept safe in the future.

There were so many things I was afraid of when I started to look for a daycare, like cleanliness, my son not being taken care of well enough, daycare staff being over worked and overwhelmed. You hear a lot of horror stories that scare any parents but man does CJCC really exceed all my expectations. They send presious pictures and updates when asked and I truly appreciate the pics and updates . Ms. Pinar has been so amazing to my sweet boy! She truly loves and cares so much for him & works so well with trying to get him fed. (He was exclusively breastfed most his life) if you know, you know! She has been compassionate, kind, understanding and willing to assist to meet his preferences and needs. When I first toured I was SO impressed with their attention to cleanliness & infection control. From the moment I stepped in the door Ms. Pinar & Mr. Avni welcomed me with such warm energy, happy and inviting. They made me put on booties over my shoes and wash my hands. Which was a first! My son was 5 months when he started but I was so happy and impressed to see all the learning tools and hear about how they help the children with real life skills.

Pinar and Avni show such love and care for all their kids, and I can see that love reciprocated in my little one. She is always so excited to see them. I felt the motherly warmth from Pinar the day we met. She has made me feel safe (and less guilty) dropping off my child with her everyday. Pinar and Avni teach the preschool curriculum along with mannerism and social skills. Over the years I have noticed my daughter learn so much and I am very grateful. Their daycare has many play activities as well. A lot of which include Montessori type play. The kids get a lot of free playtime which my daughter loves. She loves to play with all the other kids there. The kids are also taught emotions and feelings, which I noticed in my daughter as well. She learned how to better express herself. They are also taught right from wrong and basic morals and values. The kids also learn yoga! Pinar and Avni have taken such amazing care of the most precious thing in the world to me. I will forever be grateful.

He…read morestarted at the age of two and was barely speaking, within weeks we saw a complete difference- he's now educating me about the Solar System, Rain Forest, singing new songs, etc. They follow an actual curriculum and provide the subject matter to the parents via email in advance so we always know what's on the calendar. I'm very impressed with the communication from education, illnesses, fun events, children's progress, etc. The teachers are so kind and caring- my son loves them all and so do we! The school is welcoming, it truly feels like a second home, and we couldn't recommend it enough. Soon my second will be joining and I'm looking forward to watching him grow here too! Thanks CHM!!

The cozy front and back yards are filled with thoughtfully designed sensory and tactile play areas that help children regulate their nervous systems while encouraging open-ended play, creativity, and imagination. Every little detail -- from the fragrant foam and sprigs of fresh rosemary in the mud kitchen to the handmade cinnamon-scented playdough -- speaks of genuine love and care for children. There's a sandbox, a fairy garden, real tools that little builders will love, and even a table tucked into the shade of a tree for anyone who wants to sit down and have a snack. Every other week, a musician comes to visit, hands out musical instruments to the children, and sings different songs with them. To say we loved this place would be an understatement. Three hours flew by in what felt like a single moment. Absolutely recommend!

My daughter has been going to Angels for two years now; today was her last day before going to…read moreKindergarten and I actually almost cried going to pick her up there for the last time! I really loved this daycare/preschool and had a good rapport with quite a few of the teachers (some I saw rarely or never since they worked mornings). Many of the kids that were in her class had been there just as many years as her, if not longer (i.e. this is a place parents obviously feel comfortable with because their kid(s) stay there long-term). My daughter definitely had her favorite teachers, and I'm not gonna lie, the first time she told me she loved her teacher Ms. Louise, I felt a stab of guilt over someone else 'raising' my child (I know a lot of stay at home moms that guilt people about daycares) but then I thought, 'How great is it that I have a place I feel secure about having my little girl at every day?!' The director Elizabeth is very understanding and the teachers as a whole are great about keeping you posted on any incidents that may have occurred - like the time my daughter was stung by a bee or the many times she tripped and fell and they bandaged her up and comforted her. I definitely, wholeheartedly recommend this place! So glad that I brought her here on not one but two recommendations from my own family.

When we first started looking for a daycare, I wanted a play-based non-chain environment. DLC was super close to our house, and I loved the philosophies I read on their website.

The teachers are wonderful and caring. The outdoor play area is huge. The school-age kids in the summer do a ton of field trips. They are very communicative. I feel well-informed. They are constantly evolving and improving. But most of all, my son loves it. He is sad he doesn't go there anymore. I think he would love to be a kid at DLC forever.
