She didn't ask our names, our relation (there were four of us), she didn't introduce herself. She had an incredibly difficult time providing explanations, would give vague detail, followed by "you can read the handbook", and an overall condescending tone when i tried to follow up. The disconnect was very apparent, as my party agreed separately that she was very slow and disoriented. We found her demeanor to be questionable. After discussion, we concluded if we sent our daughter to Bluff View we would be concerned with her stability as owner & admin. Overall, we will be crossing this off of our list for good. Strong recommendation to all new parents to take a tour and go through that.... interesting experience before handing over 250$ for application fee.

When we walk into the school the director greets us every morning and genuinely checks on the children. Once we walk through the main entry, there is a wide open green field and 3 play grounds in sight. It is always a breath of fresh air and every thing I ever dreamed of for my children. I really enjoy that walk to class and every morning we pass through the preschool garden and check on the preschool chickens. The classes are small with two wonderful teachers assigned to each class. These are trauma informed educators that took the time to understand and work with one of my babies that just needed a little bit of compassion and understanding. Any obstacles we have faced have been handled with love and problem solving. Any parent that has experienced the heartbreak of loving a child that just needs grace, will understand how thankful I am to have found Fairmont and all the educators there.

As…read moreeducators ourselves, it is very important that our son receive quality instruction but most importantly that he is cared for socially and emotionally. We are so impressed with the IB curriculum. Our son has a lot of energy and requires lots of differentiation and Fairmont has always exceeded our expectations. They are great with communication and the Fairmont campus is just a happy place to be. Every morning our son asks if it is a preschool day and his language abilities have grown so much since enrolling 6 months ago. We can't wait to enroll our toddler too. I would especially like to commend Lydia, Ashlyn, Ms. Sierra and Ms. Harpreet for always going above and beyond for us. Thank you Fairmont, you are always going to hold a special place in our hearts even when our kids have moved on :)

I never feel out of the loop about what my kid is learning or how she's doing. they actually keep parents in the loop which as a mom is everything. the hours work well for working parents, 7am to 5:30pm gives you real flexibility which is hard to find at quality preschools in Fresno. the learning environment is hands on and engaging. looking at the photos you can see kids actually doing things, creating, exploring, not just sitting at desks. that approach matters at this age. W Spruce Ave location is convenient and the facility is clean and safe. five stars across every review means this isn't just my experience, it's consistent. if you're looking for a private preschool in Fresno where your child will genuinely thrive, The Growing Patch is the one. we are so grateful we found it.

I love the new Director Kari, she's so welcoming, such a great addition to this location. It's great knowing that your children are safe and secure at a location when you can't be with them. So as a working mom, I'm grateful everyday for them. Over the last year we have bonded with all the teachers and staff. My kids adore the bus drivers and all the wonderful and patient teachers that sit and help with homework after school. What a great find Kids Kare has been. It's such a consistent level of quality that I appreciate. I can't imagine a child or parent not loving everything about this place. Movies, sports, games, art, swimming, computers, and their own lockers even!! I'm still hearing about how much fun they had over the summer. This place is just amazing.

But when my son did something he was quick to get a write up or they would only catch him doing things. There was many times my son's diaper wasn't change before I picked him up. He also had bite marks and scratches on him, we let the school know they said they would do an investigation but they never did . Here's the kicker the day my son got kicked out I had a meeting with them they gave me a whole bunch of behavioral forms but no and the heck do we have the same teachers name but different handwriting on it hmm fishy right and on another form I have literally him getting in trouble twice with 2 different teachers at the same time. I feel like they pushed my son out and now I'm calling them out!!! But I love Mrs. Kathy and Mrs Audrey!!! The new lady running things is not nice at all. I would give zero stars!!!

You go through friend referrals and take tours, but every place just felt disorganized, or unstructured or just weird sad vibes. I then went on a visit to Brighten. I've seen the facilities everywhere, and I had a coworker go to a facility near her, but I wanted to check it out myself, and this place is perfect for my little guy! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. And they're consistently friendly and helpful, not just on your first day. When I drop off my son, I always am greeted with happy and cheerful staff. They are also very organized with their day. There is a large playground outside and they play outside at least twice a day. They provide full meals for breakfast and lunch which is included in the tuition. I also love that they provide a daily written check in of how your child did at the daycare. We've been at this facility for almost 3 months and my son loves it. Details: -There are 8 different locations around the area so you're bound to find one nearby -They have half day and full day programs. -They offer nap, half nap, or no naps. Its up to you -They will help potty train your toddler -There is no price difference for potty trained versus diaper toddlers -You have to go at least two days with rates ranging from 2 days at $160.00 for the week to 5 days at $280.00 a week -They have a secure code you have to enter to open their doors. They also have a fingerprint system to check your child in and out. -There are cameras! You can watch your little on your phone or desktop while they play or sleep, or at the playground!
