If you are looking for a daycare where your child is not only cared for, but loved, nurtured, fed…read morelike family, and treated like one of their own, Homegrown Daycare is it. Our daughter Kaia started with Samantha as a little toddler, and from day one, we knew we found something special. The amount of care, intention, and heart she pours into the kids is rare. The home-cooked meals alone are incredible (meals I wish someone cooked for me), but it is so much more than that. There is structure, fun, learning, outdoor time, music, a jumpee, arts and crafts, everything a child needs to grow, explore, and feel safe. When we first started, there was a mutual trial period and we were a little weirded out by it, but now we totally get it, Samantha makes sure it's a great fit for her as well as for you, as a parent. The result is a group of very well adjusted kids, parents who care and are invested in their kid's development, and a group of kids that care for each other. Samantha communicates, sets clear expectations, and makes parents feel at ease. Even on days when drop-off was tough, Kaia ran into her arms like she was going to see family. That tells you everything. Our daughter has grown in ways we cannot even put into words, socially, emotionally, and developmentally. Samantha has been an essential part of our household and our lives. Leaving California means leaving Homegrown Daycare, and it is bittersweet. This place is unforgettable, and so is Samantha. If you are a parent searching for a daycare where your child will be loved, protected, and poured into, look no further. We are forever grateful for her and her own family. We hope they come visit us in Hawaii someday. Five stars is not enough for the level of care she gives. Samantha, Kaia and we will miss you so very much and thank you for guiding Kaia's growth love, kindness, and patience.

Samantha creates so many engaging, hands-on activities that keep the children interested and learning every day. My son comes home with the most creative art projects that we cherish. She is incredibly responsive to my son's needs and provides a loving, nurturing environment. She provides home cooked breakfast and lunch that is nutritious everyday! Her home is always clean, organized, and welcoming. She is always communicative with our family. Our son truly enjoyed coming to daycare and looked forward to it each day, which meant so much to us as parents. We always felt confident that he was safe, well cared for, and genuinely loved while he was there. We are very grateful for the care our family received and highly recommend this daycare to others.

We had a positive experience with the babysitter we booked via the Grapevine Placement Agency…read moreduring a weekend getaway in Yountville, and would recommend this agency! Grapevine was one of two nanny agencies recommended to us by our hotel. Their online booking experience was easy and I found their rates more reasonable than the other nanny agency our hotel recommended. (I reached out to both and quickly compared all-in pricing.) The babysitter we were assigned, Rima, arrived on time and kept us updated on how things were going. She brought games and activities for my 7 year old daughter based on her interests, which I appreciated. The only thing that was a bit challenging is that we had to communicate with our babysitter via the Telegram app, which was new and different for me. I would have preferred WhatsApp or simple texting instead. Overall, I was happy with Grapevine and would recommend them to anyone looking for at-hotel childcare while in wine country with their children.

Don't often review non-restaurant businesses, but since this is related to restaurants (after all,…read morehow do you go out if you have kids, if not for babysitters), and we found a great sitter through this business, I wholeheartedly endorse them for anyone who has a fancy dinner reservation in Napa somewhere. We corresponded with owner Maggie via their form, then via phone, with followup by email. After my wife talked to Maggie and explained our situation, Maggie sent over a few choices, and we chose Van. Van followed up with questions about our routines, favorite things, etc. Everything indicated that their priorities were on the right track. We were staying at the River Terrace Inn and Van met us there on schedule. We met her, with our daughter (2 yrs old), in the lobby, and after being offered a toy, our daughter started to warm up to Van. We went back to our room and Van proceeded to unload all the toys she brought, and soon, she and our daughter were best pals. Van was great, proactively engaging, talking to her, getting her to play. By the time we left, our daughter barely acknowledged that we were leaving. While we were gone, Van updated us via text and photo. She fed our daughter, who ate quite a lot, which is a telling sign that she feels comfortable with her caregiver, and even more surprising, she went to sleep on schedule -- probably because all that playing with Van tired her out. We are very pleased and are happy that we can plan a future Napa overnight trip, with a fancy dinner.

Lali was incredible -- she fully prepared both of them for Kindergarten and gave them such a strong academic foundation before they even started school. I know some people hear "home daycare" and think there's a stigma attached to it, but this was genuinely the best possible place for my children. She provided excellent care, healthy meals, structure, and an education that I honestly don't think they would have received at many other daycares in the area. Because it's smaller, the one-on-one attention she gave each child helped both of mine excel academically before and after entering school. She came highly recommended to me by another mom whose three daughters attended for six years, and now I completely understand why. We are forever grateful for the love, care, and dedication Lali gave our family over the years

Children are introduced to sounds and words of the French language through song, nursery rhymes, stories and general everyday interactions. As children are exceptional language learners by nature, this total immersion environment enables them to quickly become familiar with French and begin to know how to use it for themselves. Our days here at preschool are rooted in the idea that a child learns through play and exploration! We lead children each day through a fun variety of arts and crafts, story time, classical dance (ballet), cooking, science actives, music, outdoor and free play time. These experiences are guided completely in French to familiarize children with numbers, letters, colors, shapes, and other early vocabulary. We recognize that each child has unique talents, learning style and personality. LPJ is committed to ensure optimal social, emotional and linguistic growth. Classes are kept to a low student-teacher ratio for happy, healthy learning! Popular childhood songs and nursery rhymes from France will soon become some of your child’s favorites!
