I remember when I was looking for a daycare and I had so many questions - here is some helpful info about the daycare: Tomato daycare provides nutritious lunches and snacks, which helped my children develop stronger self-eating skills. A menu is provided each month! I was initially nervous about the nap setup but everything worked out nicely. They use floor cots. My kids usually sleep in a dark room with a sound machine but they adjusted effortlessly and slept well from the start. You will bring a crib sheet for the cot and small blanket and these items will be returned to you on Fridays for washing. I brought 2 straw cups for my kids. One for water and one for milk. Potty training support was another huge bonus and helped us tremendously. Pictures are sent every Friday! The holidays are especially magical. Tomato Day Care puts so much effort into making them special. For those who may be wondering, I do not speak Korean and I did not have any issues with communication. In fact, it was great and easy to keep in contact either in person or by text. Ms. Grace and Ms. Yejong have been incredible. Their care, patience, and warmth made such a difference for my kids, and I'm so grateful for them both. My kids have made so many friends and happy memories there. I highly recommend Tomato Day Care to any family looking for a loving, supportive, and enriching environment for their children. Thank you Ms. Grace and Ms. YeJeong for everything!

Our little guy started in February 2022. Life has been amazing ever since…read more This is his first childcare setting and it did not take long for him to adjust (a month) but he was only doing part-time 3x per week. His first day there he went in and loved it, when we told him we were leaving I don't think it had fully set in. His only issue at the beginning was transitions. Transition inside from playing outside, but the teachers adapted and sang a little song to let him know the transition was coming and it helped so much. I quickly noticed him humming at home to help with transitions. We were so fortunate to get this opportunity as the space is extremely limited. There are only two classes and it's limited to 6-7 kids. I think the feeling of uneasinesses about Covid really benefited us getting in. They have got health and safety under control. The daycare does not have a TV and there is no TV time (I find this extremely special). My friend who said she toured many daycares says that all the spots she went to had TVs. They have outdoor time in the mornings, class time and plenty of play time. They take care of breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack, which is a huge load off our shoulders too. I love that the meals are a mix of Korean and American food. Our little guy loves soup because they have it for lunch all the time. I love Miss. Grace, Ms. Elisa and Ms. Ye Jeong. My little guy thoroughly enjoys his time here. After his initial intro period, he has been going in with no issues and doesn't look back. It's on to the next. It is a blessing to have gotten in and to have such loving educators. There is nothing better than feeling your child is being loved and cared for in a warm, caring and safe environment.

She provides such a loving, safe, and nurturing environment where all children are treated like family. Being a first time mom, I was extremely nervous to send my son to daycare, but my mind was put at ease when I saw how much she cares for all the children. Marietta ensures the children enjoy healthy home cooked meals, meaningful activities, and plenty of opportunities to learn and play without screen time. (No screen time is very important to our family) Marietta is dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in each child's well being and development. My family thoroughly recommends Madrid Family Child Care for any family looking for trustworthy, loving, high quality childcare.

Tita Marietta treated our then 5 month old like family up until he turned 2 and started preschool. Our son learned so many great skills during his time at daycare.

Tita Marietta makes home cooked meals for the kids and is conscious of food allergies which our son has. Our son is not a picky eater and loves to eat his fruits and vegetables thanks to Tita Marietta. Our son loved his time w/ Tita Marietta and her family. He would run to the door during drop off and happily go to Tita Marietta or other members of her family who helped w/ his care. We always felt confident that our son was safe and in good hands.

I wanted to write a review for this school for a long time now, so since it's permanently closed I…read morecan finally let everything out. I was looking for a pre-school for my two year old. I wanted him to socialize with other children and to improve on his communication skills, plus he was having behavioral issues from just staying home. I was touring many schools around the area and found Cerritos Lane to be a contender, but I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to enroll my son. It was a nagging gut feeling that something wasn't right. The director at the time, Ms. Karen, followed up with me TWICE. I decided to enroll my child since she was so persistent and the teachers have decades of experience. Okay, two weeks later the director suddenly resigned and everything changed. A few weeks later my child got in trouble for not sharing. I had him evaluated by several health professionals and they said he's not aggressive and he's only two years old- not wanting to share is normal BUT the school made it a big deal, particularly the owner. I was again looking for other schools at this point. Family members convinced me to let him stay at this school since he's already familiar with it. Then the day after a holiday I get a letter stating the school is closing and the last day is in two weeks. Stressed, saddened, shocked and frustrated can't being to describe it. I felt like this school just slapped me in the face for the third time. I'm sad for my child, his classmates, and the teaching staff. Now we're all starting over again. The only reason why I didn't give this place 1 star is because of Ms. Claudia and Ms. Carolina. They are truly exceptional teachers that are patient and understanding. We miss them and hope better things are coming.

It feels strange to be writing a review for a school that has now closed, but I wanted to take the…read moretime to highlight both the good and the not-so-great aspects--partly for recognition and partly for the constructive criticism for any future ventures. Cerritos Lane was my son's first school, and because of that, it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Like many toddlers, he had a tough time with drop-offs in the beginning (and some other days sprinkled throughout the duration of his time there). But the morning teachers, Ms. Carolina and Ms. Rose, and his primary teacher, Ms. Claudia, were incredibly patient, understanding, and kind. Their care and consistency meant the world to us. Ms. Karen, the director at the time, also played a huge role in making mornings smoother. She often helped calm him during transitions, and he adored her. When she suddenly left, it was a big shift for my son, and the difference in leadership was noticeable. The new director wasn't as warm or hands-on, and some of the questions she directed through the staff felt unnecessarily personal and intrusive. It was also very difficult to get payment receipts so I can claim DCFSA. After asking several times, I still don't have it and now the school is closed. Unrelated to this change, we had already made the decision to move to a different school that offered a key feature we were looking for - a lunch program. But just a week before our transition, we received a letter stating that Cerritos Lane would be closing in two weeks. While the timing worked out for us, my heart went out to the many families and staff who were left scrambling. Though the closure was due to personal reasons, I believe more notice could have shown better respect and consideration for everyone affected. In summary, there were definitely pros and cons in his five months there. The teachers were truly wonderful and were the heart and soul of the school and the tuition cost was reasonable. But the leadership and communication, especially near the end, needed significant improvement. We're grateful for the time our son had there and will miss the incredible teachers dearly - especially Ms. Claudia. We wish them nothing but the best wherever they go next.
