After many months of being outcasted by this nightmare of a place I am ready to share my…read moreexperience. This is my experience as a parent to other parents, I am not in need of a response from any person affiliated with this place. The director and the owner lady (her picture is seen here as owner) are fake frauds. They smile and say all the correct things until they no longer like you. When attempts were made to work directly with the teacher, it seemed great, but not to these two ladies, next day I was asked by them to meet so they could tell me bluntly we are going to dismiss you and your child from our center, sign here, let's go collect your child's items. Okay bye! A household with two working foster parents. This was a foster child. Oh yeah, It was a no go to have a county social worker visit child at the site...huge red flag. Can't begin to express the hardship they made me go through when asked if my child could be given albuterol for asthma. Christian compassion?! What a joke. I pray their ministry is better than the practice of their child care center. God bless this place, for they know not what they do.

I rarely write reviews, but when credit needs to be given, I make it a point to do so. Our daughter…read morehas been attending Refuge Christian Preschool since November 2023, and I must emphasize that both my wife and I are very protective--some might even say too protective. In fact, I am often referred to as a helicopter mom. Initially, we planned to homeschool our daughter because we believed we were the only ones who could ensure her safety and care. However, as she grew older, we noticed her longing for more social interaction, especially since her sister is significantly older, and the only time she was really able to socialize with children her age was during Sunday classes at church. So, we decided to look around and see if we could find a place that felt right. After some research and a few school tours, we found Refuge. The school administrator, Lisa, was absolutely welcoming and wonderful. Based on our impression, their mission statement, and feedback from our daughter, we decided to enroll her. Fast forward to today, I must express how completely satisfied we are--actually, satisfied is an understatement. We are beyond pleased with the amazing people dedicating their time to our daughter and all the kiddos! The level of love from the director, Ms. Dina, and teachers Ms. Jodene, Ms. Alexis, and Ms. Natalie is something every parent prays for when leaving their child in the hands of someone else. They are excellent at communicating with parents, go above and beyond to make the kiddos feel safe, and the special events they create are truly magical. I am the kind of person who is an overthinker and can usually point out anything that is not right, or tend to correct things that are not being done as I would do them when it comes to our children. But with the nurturing teachers that our little girl has and Ms. Dina overseeing it all, I can honestly say there hasn't been any cause for concern. I actually feel a sense of ease dropping her off at school every morning, and for me that is definitely saying a lot!!! Some highlights for us include the growth we've seen in our daughter, the excitement she shows when she tells us about her day, and the scriptures she learns and recites. There are so many amazing things I could say about Refuge, Ms. Dina, Ms. Jodene, and Ms. Alexis, but the best testament is that our daughter genuinely loves them, and that means everything to us! We've been happy with many decisions we've made, but enrolling our daughter at Refuge is by far one of the best!

Serena and her husband Nick are such amazing people. My daughter has been under Serena's care for…read moreover 3 years. They treat us just like family. Serena is very clear with her expectations, and always follows through providing a safe, loving, learning environment. The kids are always busy doing something, arts and crafts, learning colors or to count. Her meal preps are always on the better choice side of things. When I first met Serena my daughter and I instantly felt a sense of purity, kindness, and joy. All of those traits we have experienced over the years. With sadness my daughter an I moved, the drive was still worth the reliable safe living care Serena provided. Through the pandemic, Serena has increased her sanitation and extra precautions in an already clean home. I would highly recommend Storytime family daycare to anyone who is searching for a safe, clean, family oriented in home provider.

Unprofessional interview and would never trust my children with this daycare. I would not recommend…read moreeither. At first she schedules our first time interview during a fashion party she's having, so I want no part of that and to have her undivided attention for daycare questions, I inform her I'll come earlier. We meet and there's a lot going on, but proceed. She has two young children that are the same age as mine and she can't seem to control her temper with them. Right away she's loudly yelling at them to go away, go here, go there. After a few of her explosions, she mentions she only yells at her kids that way, but as a parent I know better. I ask her about her discipline procedure and she seems taken aback almost like she doesn't know how to answer. When we start going over the rates, she informs me she wants 2 weeks payment in advance and starts whining about her finances and lies to me saying all daycares are doing this, but maybe someone else did want to deal with this psycho either... just a heads up-stay safe!

The people we leave our kids with-- it's like leaving your heart and someone else's hands. The teachers at TLC Monticello are some of the most caring and professional individuals I have ever met! Not only are they great teachers, but they get to know your kid on a personal level. They learn their unique personality traits, from their cues on when they need to use the bathroom, to inside jokes. As an added plus, the property feels very secure, being attached to the elementary school. We love the TLC staff and look forward to bringing all our kids to this daycare!

His approach to the essays, MBEs, and particularly the PT completely changed the way I approached the exam. He helped make difficult concepts and strategies feel much more structured, manageable, and practical under timed conditions. What stood out most to me was how much he genuinely cared about his students and their success. His guidance, materials, and encouragement made a huge difference in my confidence and preparation. I'm very grateful for everything he taught me, and I'm happy to say that I ultimately passed the California Bar Exam. I truly believe his tutoring played a major role in helping me get there.

The first time I used Barbri and I felt like I was just trying to complete the assignments without actually learning anything. The second time I tried to do it with various books and materials. Jay takes the time to understand you and how you learn so that you can comprehend and truly understand the material. You must also put in your hard work and complete the assignments. Don't hesitate!! If you want to pass go with Jay!!
