My 3yr old daughter has been in Yuliya's care for 8 months now, and we could not be happier with…read morethe experience. My daughter is excited to go to school every morning and has lots to share about her busy day when I pick her up. It is clear how much each of the students really loves Yuliya and that they feel safe and supported in her care. Yuliya is also wonderful at communicating with parents. I love the fact that I don't have to go through an app to receive updates. Every day Yuliya texts a few photos and a sentence or two on how the morning went and then takes time to share how the afternoon went during pick up. It all feels very personal. Yuliya is such a thoughtful caregiver and I love her methods of teaching. All of the activities are hands on and often focus on the natural world. She also has a deep passion for books which she helps instill in her students. Yuliya's weekly plans are the perfect combination of structure and free play. Enough structure that the kids understand what the overall schedule is each day, what the theme is for the week, and that for instance Tuesday is playdough day, Wednesday is baking day, and Friday's activity will be for watercolor. But within that structure, Yuliya allows the children to be creative and think independently. She also understands the importance of children playing outside. I wasn't able to find a single school that scheduled more time for outside play than The Ways We Grow. Overall, I have nothing but love and appreciation for Yuliya and The Ways We Grow. We are sad to be ending this chapter and fully support any new ventures Yuliya may embark on.

She is a great homeschooling mom and a knowledgeable educator. I've seen the results of her work in the way her sons are growing and developing into curious, polite, and well-rounded individuals. I am so excited to see Yulia growing her passion for education into a daycare. You are up for a treat with the Ways We Grow as I am confident all of Yulia's knowledge and love will be poured into creating an amazing atmosphere where your kids can thrive and learn.

The staff is friendly and the kids enjoy the facility. Classrooms are spacious, teachers are engaged and there's a good balance of work and play. There's also a play village with an enclosed climbing structure, a climbing wall, a dance zone, make believe area and more! And the outside area is a large, secure play space that the kids just love. Special should out to VPK teachers Ms. Shiela and Ms. Dora for being amazing with the kids and supporting their growth and development while keeping things fun! Also, shout out to Latoria at the front desk!

My child…read moreis currently in her 1/2 day VPK class and it feels like she is taking a world learnings course daily. Ms. Hunsha has introduced so many cultures and ways of the world to every single student, which will surely benefit them as they continue their development. She is helping to cultivate acceptance, inclusion and positivity amongst the entire class. My husband and I also love the way that she nurtures each child and meets them where they are individually. Our soon to be 5 year old loves science and quite often gets to engage in fun and educational science experiments, tapping into an area of learning girls can sometimes be excluded from. Our daughter was already reading when she started VPK but, together, with Ms Hunsha we have see her reading level increase to that of a second grader. And to further reinforce what she is learning, Ms. Hunsha has her read to her classmates. That action alone is building confidence, how to present in front of others and a host of other important and necessary skills for a well rounded child and adult. Ms Hunsha creates an environment that is welcoming, enjoyable, curious and safe for students. She commands respect with a loving hand and they all absolutely adore her. I could go on and on about how wonderful we think she is and how much of a blessing she has been. Thank you Ms. Hunsha! Our family will forever be grateful to you and for the exciting world of learning that you have opened up for our baby!

She isn't just a daycare, she is family. She loves all of her kids attending her daycare like they are family, and that love extends to the families as well. My son used to go to Kiddie Academy, and was sick every weekend. Since he has been enrolled in Carpio daycare, he has NEVER come home sick from her house. The level of cleanliness quality that she upholds is better than any chain daycare. She is the most affordable daycare I know of, and the value she provides to her children is above par! We love her, and I will always recommend her.

She told me there were no refunds but she was going to request to corporate. Since then i've texted, called and have gotten no answers. I've also called corporate and left voicemail and have never gotten a response either. Owning my own business, just out of integrity I would've at the very minimum have a response to keep the client long term. The day that I got there I should've known, I was taking the tour and overheard a conversation between the Director and a very upset client about treatment of their daughter by the teachers, the director's response wasnt very pleasant and I shouldve gone with my gut, but now I'm here trying to get at least a response from someone. Will update if this is resolved.

Happy to report this place was a blessing to our family, we experienced nothing but the best service and our son was treated with respect and love. He enjoyed going to school and we saw a beautiful shift in his behavior and development after just one week of going to this school. The staff has been here for many years and that's something I loved as many places I visited before making my decision had new members or people that weren't as qualified. This place ran like a well oiled machine and we never once had a covid scare while attending this school. They run a tight ship and do it well. Only reason we pulled our son out of this school is because we are moving a few hours away otherwise we would have kept him here until he grew out of it. Highly recommend this location now known as DaVinci academy. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my son Sebastian and got making us feel so welcomed from day one.
