I can't say enough good things about this business and about Jeni Rayle. She is everything you…read morecould want in an advocate; she is knowledgeable, she truly cares about the families she represents and she will fight for your child to recieve the services they deserve. We had spent years disappointed with our autistic son's placement in SDUSD. She helped us figure out what options he had and helped us navigate our next steps. We had our IEP meeting this week and we could not be happier with the results. I cannot thank her enough for advocating for our son! She changed his life by getting him placed in an environment where he can get the help he needs (and deserves)!

Having Jeni as our advocate was not only the easiest step we made for our son AND daughter, it was…read morea gift to our family. Navigating our own way was overwhelming and confusing. As much as we tried on our own to communicate the needs of our kids, we, at times didn't even know what we should be asking for from the school. From the first meeting, to our last meeting, Jeni was not only professional, but she cared. She knew our frustration and her experience, her kindness and patience saved our family. It opened up doors at school and saved our sanity at home. We trusted Jeni as her communication with us was always available, our questions and concerns were always answered and reassured. Jeni met each timeline and was always in contact with us and the school. She always made sure we were "in the know". Best decision we ever made!

We work together to help my daughter making so much progress at home, but she kept struggling at school. I was having a hard time communicating with the school to provide for proper supports for my daughter. I am searching for an advocate who can help me navigate the special education program/ public school system. I found Sarah. Sarah is kind, calm, and knowledgeable. She used to teach a Special Day Class. Sarah understands the system and knows what a student needs to succeed in school. She is a valuable member of my home team.

Alexa's PLAYC is a truly special center…read more Our daughter has been there since she was 18 months. She was shy and apprehensive when she started, and has since grown into an independent, spirited, and fun-loving toddler. We are so thankful to the teachers and staff for providing our girl with a safe, welcoming place to explore and learn. There are so many things I could say, but here are a few highlights: * The teachers and staff are all highly trained on, and passionate about, early childhood education. Having come from another daycare, I can really see how Alexa's PLAYC is intentional about every element of the space. They use evidence-based philosophies, reflect constantly on what the children are exploring, and update the different spaces responsively. If the kids seem to want to explore different textures, they will document it and add more sensory materials. * There is a garden!!! It is beautifully maintained by the outdoor teacher. We love that our daughter gets to spend time in nature each week. The playgrounds are also spacious and full of enriching activities. * There is fun programming, like the weekly live music class! Because of Alexa's PLAYC's affiliation with Rady Children's Hospital, there are extra fun events sprinkled throughout the year. We had visits from a monster truck and a penguin from the zoo in the past few months. * The classrooms are mixed-age and inclusive -- meaning that our toddler has been able to make friends of all backgrounds. I believe that she's made leaps and bounds in her socialization and learning as a result. Though she was barely speaking at the time of enrollment, our daughter's language and imaginative play have since exploded. * Alexa's PLAYC's commitment to supporting children across the neurodiversity spectrum results in an incredibly supportive enviroment. For example, they are diligent about maintaining the low teacher-to-student ratio. Truly, though, words fail to describe the everyday magic that Alexa's PLAYC creates... We love seeing our daughter come home with paint on her face and dirt on her pants -- the signs of a creative mind hard at work (play)! It is so fun getting glimpses of her world at daycare. She will play guitar (in the style of the music teacher), water our plants (like she would in the garden), and proudly talk about new friends and hobbies ("I sit bicycle!"). It has been such a joy to see our daughter, and so many other children, blossom at Alexa's PLAYC.

Our family has had an incredible, truly life-changing experience at Alexa's PLAYC…read more Our daughter received her autism diagnosis around her third birthday, and like many families, we were overwhelmed trying to find the right resources, the right environment, and people we could genuinely trust. From our very first interaction with the team at Alexa's PLAYC, we felt like we had found a place that not only understood autism and child development at a deep level, but also understood how to support families with compassion, clarity, and care. We have been at Alexa's PLAYC for about 9 months now, and we have nothing but great things to say about the administrators, teachers, and BCBAs. The staff is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They take the time to understand each child's individual needs and goals, and they do a great job tailoring the curriculum and day-to-day activities around those needs. One of the things we appreciate most is that Alexa's PLAYC truly lives out a child-led, play-based philosophy while still incorporating helpful elements of ABA in a way that feels balanced and respectful, never rigid or overbearing. We have seen real growth in our daughter, and just as importantly, we have felt supported as parents throughout the process. We also love the mixed environment of neurotypical and neurodivergent children. It creates a more natural, inclusive setting that reflects the diversity kids will experience in the real world, and it helps foster understanding, flexibility, and empathy from an early age. Finally, the team itself seems incredibly cohesive. The teachers, administrators, and BCBAs appear to genuinely like working together and support one another, which matters so much in an environment where every child may have a different set of needs and challenges. We are deeply grateful for Alexa's PLAYC and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, capable, and deeply thoughtful preschool environment.

I was also a former student, and I'm telling you: please do not send your child here!…read more The students at this school are not treated as individuals with their own gifts and their own ability to contribute meaningfully to our world. They are instead stripped of their identity, belittled and forced to comply with the demands of the staff by sheer aggression and violence. And every other aspect of the student's lives is negatively affected by the school's agenda as well, oftentimes by unfair and restrictive legal documentation that follows them for the rest of their lives and is very difficult to annul. Their practices also often result in students not graduating on time, (if at all,) which can cause irrevocable damage to their professional standing. I was lucky to leave and I never looked back, but some of the damage they inflicted stays with me, and I may not rectify it for a long time yet.

She is always professional, prompt, and prepared. From our initial assessment on Zoom (which we have made great progress on) until now has worked wonders for our child's development.

We appreciate your expertise and respect over 30 years of experience that you have, in helping humanity, through education and other areas. You are a beacon of light and hope to the world.
