I'm sorry it took me so long to write a review here! I was looking back over some of the…read moreinformation from our sessions to discuss with a friend just now, and was reminded how transformational this process with you was for my daughter and I. It has been about two years I think at this point, and I am still talking about what a helpful turning point your support was during a challenging time. My daughter and I have been through unbelievable and tragic/chaotic life circumstances at times since, and are still overall both doing really well and connecting in health ways - living our best lives in a weird world! I am technically an expert in all of this, and was still just struggling, so I cannot give enough positive and true feedback on this process with you. Thanks again for everything, and figured better late than never, lol!

Don't usually write a review, but I thought Cassidy was sooo helpful that I want to share…read more My wife and I did the 12 week program over Zoom and it's been a game-changer. The idea here is that parenting is more of a self-centric (and partner-centric) exercise; throughout the program, Cassidy was responsive, flexible and very empathetic. What it does is give you a framework for how to make decisions about parenting. It fills in knowledge gaps around what our kids need. The content from Jai Institute for Parenting is good, but honestly it's Cassidy that makes the whole thing worthwhile. If you're at the point where you're even exploring a "parenting coach" then working with Cassidy may be exactly what you're looking for.

I absolutely loved working with Michelle. She will transform your experience of parenting…read more She's humble, fun, approachable, and really just a joy to work with. I found myself really looking forward to our weekly sessions. Since completing our sessions with Michelle, I've recommended her to several friends and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know with kids. It's crazy that we train for our jobs but not to be parents. I really cherish the education that Michelle gave us - and more importantly I am grateful to have a friend and ally in the crazy experience of parenting. Investing in time with Michelle will be one of the most important investments you make as a parent. After 20 minutes with Michelle you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Without a doubt, JOIN THIS GROUP! You won't be sorry! Also, Heather is AMAZING! And despite having to move to Zoom classes, it is still totally worth it!

This is a special place. Irreplaceable. Our child started in the toddler program where we attended…read morewith her. We enjoyed the experience and bonded with her peer parents and the teachers. We were hooked. The operator, Patricia, created a beautiful environment that feels both intimate and aspirational. The staff is immersed in the Reggio Emilia pedagogy, which makes the school feels less "schooled" and not like a daycare where they're just "watching" children. Every space presents an opportunity for learning, engagement and growth. Every teacher engages with your child. There are no "worksheets." The children learn through projects and individual study. We loved the annual camping trips and nature hikes. Over time, the school and families became a safe haven for our family, changing our perspectives of what a school should be. It should be an extension of community. I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. I literally can't find anything that compares.

Koreans take postpartum care very seriously because we believe it can impact your health long-term,…read moreso spending my first two weeks at a postpartum care center was an absolute must for me. I found Zette through a close friend who had stayed there twice and loved both experiences. I checked in three days postpartum, and Zette was exactly what I needed to recover after 30+ hours of labor that ended in a C-section. The incredible staff provided round-the-clock care for my newborn, allowing me to truly rest. They taught me the basics of newborn care as a first-time mom, which gave me some confidence before I went home. Most importantly, the food was nutritious and delicious that I cleared every tray, which I believe helped my milk supply. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing, and every staff member genuinely cared for my baby like their own. Honestly, the entire team was an absolute godsend. I'm grateful I chose Zette and would definitely return for my next baby!

MY SECOND STAY After…read morehaving my first baby, I already knew how valuable postpartum care and support could be, so when baby #2 arrived, coming back to Zette felt like the right choice. The 선생님들 were incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. The food, 24/7 newborn care, and overall support were wonderful and allowed me to focus on my own recovery during such a special and important time. It was especially meaningful to see some of the same 선생님들 again this time around. I'm so grateful I found Zette and had the opportunity to experience it twice with both of my babies. Having a comfortable place where I could focus on recovering and bonding with my newborn made such a big difference. Highly recommend Zette to any mom looking for a postpartum care center in Los Angeles!

It truly feels like a soft place to land after having a baby in a world that isn't always very new-mom or baby-friendly.

We've built connections and friendships here that will truly last a lifetime.

It's such a thoughtfully put together program - a different theme every week, story time, free play in the big sensory gym, messy play, arts and crafts and snack time with friends. It's also been really special as a parent to be able to join the kiddo in school instead of just dropping off. There are other kids there that go with nannies and they also seem to do really well. It's great that the kids can go explore and play but then check in with a trusted caregiver here and there when they are feeling the need for closeness too. And it's so fun to get to be silly alongside the kiddos there. We've also done some of the other standalone classes like messy play and little movers and those are basically shorter versions of the pre preschool and are great. We'll definitely keep doing those too until we age out. :-p After mommy and me I had no idea what to do when the kids graduated and were 1. This program has been so wonderful for us as it provides my child with some structure and plenty of time to play. I couldn't say nicer things about the teacher Danielle. She goes above and beyond and is just great and the staff is so so nice. Highly recommend!

Our almost 4 yr old son (recently diagnosed with ASD) attended Play 2 Progress' summer camp program for two weeks and had an AWESOME time. While it took him a moment to adjust to his new environment, with a lot of tears and resistance the first 2 days, Allie and her team (including Natalie and Kaitlyn and Esme) showed tremendous patience, flexibility, and willingness to come up with creative solutions (like creating a visual schedule of activities and adding a one on one counselor to give our son extra attention), all of which helped him feel very comfortable and welcome. As parents, we had a lot of worry and anxiety at first, but those fears evaporated by the 3rd day when our son jumped out of the car and ran into the playroom with a backwards looking "Bye Mom!" THANK YOU again for making our son's first camp experience so great.

I had my first (free trial) of parentcirkle today and was blessed to be coached by Arielle Nobile…read more First of all, keep in mind that I found out my garage was flooded (due to a washing machine issue) five minutes prior to my session. Also I'm 7.5 months pregnant, super hormonal, and at work while all of this is happening. I signed up for the multi- tasking class- talk about stars aligning. It was such an incredible experience. I was a neurotic mess for a couple minutes during the intro of the call, but after a few deep, guided breaths by Arielle, I found myself shutting off the world (and pressing the "ignore" button on my cell as the nanny/husband/plumber tried to call me). I could go on and on about my session in particular, but instead I will share why I will be signing up for membership into this amazing experience. 1. It makes you feel less alone. You can fill in the blank as to what your issue/challenge/experience is, and you can count on connecting with others going through the same thing or get advice on what helped them overcome it. 2. Its a place to find resources- Arielle suggested some great reads and a guided meditation app which I will certainly look into. I'm one of those people who likes suggestions, buys things based on amazon reviews, trusts friends who have tried things first etc., etc. 3. Safe place to vent- it's like talking to your friend, but better because there is no fear of any form of judgement and is focused on YOU! 4. Reminds you of the importance of taking care of yourself, and (almost) more importantly, remembering not to feel guilty along the way. I loved my first class and look forward to meeting new coaches and parents within this supportive Group!

Maybe you can use it as a Testimonial: It's so refreshing to be able to take an hour out of my busy day to have adult conversation. I love my children dearly but I alos need to have meaningful tlaks with other lik-minded individuals. Thank heavens for Parentcirkle! It's a platform that allows me to express myself and receive great life-tips from others, without leaving my house and while still wearing my casual clothes. Recently, I participated in the sessions "Coping with Stress" and "Sleep Deprived Parents." Both sessions provided applicable tips and steps to help with stress management and sleep deprivation. These sessions have helped me mentally and make me feel that I'm just a normal parent who is experiencing the same challenges as other parents. Parentcirkle truly does help to heal the healers. Even if it's just an hour a week, Parentcirkle is an amazing platform for me to meet other parents and just be myself.
