    Lynda's Daycare - Weekly Fall project with the kiddos

    Lynda's Daycare

    (23 reviews)

    My son attended Lynda's Daycare from 2022 to 2024. He was 1.5 years old when he started…read more We were so fortunate to have found Lynda, her family and her daycare community of kids and parents. They were truly the most amazing group of people we'd ever met. Lynda really cares about the kids and only wants what's best for every child she cares for. My son thrived during the two years he attended, and he loved Lynda, the kids, and of course the lunches (he was so well fed at daycare he hardly ate at home during the weekdays). Lynda believes in each child's potential and makes sure they're on track with their milestones and so much more. She caters to each child's needs and really cares about setting them up to succeed at whatever it is that they're put through. She is very communicative with parents and empathetic towards the hardships of parenthood. Unfortunately we had to move out of state, so we're no longer in her care, but I wish we never had to leave. We've been away for 3 months now, but my son still talks about Lynda and his friends that he met at her daycare. I would recommend Lynda's Daycare to anyone who is lucky enough to have the opportunity to consider her.

    Just about a year ago, I had my first child and as a first time mom and also a working mom, I was…read moreterrified of the idea of leaving my child in a daycare and also accepting the idea of someone else taking care of my LO during most of the workday. I knew finding the perfect daycare is so important. One big scare I had are all the articles that a first time mom should stop reading on Google, I must advice, to keep it in perspective. :) Finding Lynda has been such a tremendous blessing to our family. She and her family has given us the peace of mind that we needed especially for the safety of our child. She has such a kind and caring heart for all the little ones she takes care of, she comforts them when needed and takes the effort in finding out what they may need. Lynda shows years of experience in caring for children. Last year, she had her 25 years celebration put together by her family and other family of the children she took care of over the years and it was beautiful to see how many families she's touched and I was glad we are a part of it and so thankful to have found her. Her care feels very personal with every single child. Every holiday and even on regular days they do arts and crafts, sing songs and makes some days extra special. She somehow maintains a peaceful, yet playful environment for the children. Whenever we do drop offs, my LO always seem so happy to be there and filled throughout the day. Throughout the time my LO has been with Lynda's care, from a crawler to a full toddler run, I've seen my LO progressed very well in social skills and cognitive development. Lynda has been a huge part of raising our LO. She is easy to talk to and it's easy to have an open and transparent relationship with her. I've asked her for advice and have also asked her to implement certain ways to help us reach a certain milestones. She'll give her suggestions on where our child should be at a certain age and that has been really helpful for us. She pays attention on their needs and most of the time 5 steps ahead. I love that about her. We truly could not ask for any other daycare out there. I know she'll always be part of our lives.

The amount of individual attention and care my kids received helped them thrive so much! Miss Anne was always in constant communication with us throughout the day. Sending photos, letting us know how they were doing that day, etc. If it were up to us, Miss Anne and Miss Estela would be their teachers forever. We're truly so appreciative of how they took exceptional care of our babies.

It's been an absolute blessing for me to have Mrs. Anne and Mrs. Estella as my child's teachers. They are incredibly caring, patient, and deeply knowledgeable about early childhood education, sparking curiosity and a love for learning in the kids. My child is a super picky eater, but the staff is amazing at working with me to ensure mealtimes are positive and tailored to her needs. The communication here is fantastic--daily updates and as-needed feedback keep me in the loop, and during the first week, Mrs. Anne kept me posted daily on how my child doing every transition and activity that really put my mind at ease. Mrs. Anne surprised me with my child's moments with friends and while she is doing her work, playtime that sparked my days while I am at work. The daycare makes holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter so festive and fun, and they go above and beyond for birthdays and farewells, especially for kids transitioning to TK, kindergarten, or moving away--those moments feel so special! Summer water balloon days and the Halloween party are huge hits with the kids, creating such joyful memories. The classrooms are always clean and tidy, with toys disinfected daily, and even the storeroom for toys is impressively organized. Their supportive approach to potty training has also been a lifesaver, making the process smooth and stress-free. Tiny People Home Daycare is a warm, nurturing, and spotless environment that I wholeheartedly recommend. Five stars for their dedication and care! I feel like there is no daycare like Tiny People Home in OC. If you are looking for a daycare with high quality and affordable price. I highly recommend it. Thank you so much for taking care of my child Mrs. Anne and Mrs. Estella!

My oldest started there…read morewhen they first opened, and even now he still gets excited to go back just to pick up his younger brother. He lights up seeing his old teachers and always asks why he can't go there anymore--he even says he wishes he could go back to daycare! Now my youngest attends, and we couldn't be happier. They've been so helpful with his potty training, he naps great there, and he genuinely loves going every day. It gives me so much peace of mind as a parent. I also really appreciate the security--having to enter a code at the first door, wait in the entry area, and then use a second code for access adds an extra layer of safety that means a lot. Plus, the camera access is incredible. I can log in anytime and check on my child, and I love that it's limited to only my child's classroom. We feel so lucky to have found a daycare like this so close to home. Truly such a special place!

    Our family has been at Kiddie Academy for 1.5 years. Our daughter started in the infant room when…read moreshe was 10 months old. We toured many daycares in hopes to find a place that was both nurturing and engaging. We have had a great experience with the teachers and admin team. The teachers have always been proactive, attentive and loving to our girl. They have taught her so much through songs, active play, and activities. We notice the learning that is happening in the classroom through our daughter's vocabulary development and social skills. The admin team have always been responsive to any questions we have. They run a great summer program and additional activities through out the year. The school itself is well taken care of and we do not doubt the care she receives. We rave about our daycare to our friends and family.

As a first-time mom, it was very difficult leaving my baby to return to work. I did a lot of research, read reviews, and toured several daycares. When we found Peke's, I sent a message asking for more information. Ivette replied right away, asked about my son's age, and let us know they had a spot available. When we toured the daycare, she explained that the daycare is run by her and her mom. We felt comfortable as soon as we left, and we enrolled him right away. Now, a year later, we absolutely love them--and we truly consider them family. They genuinely care for the children. They provide home-cooked meals, and whenever our little one is sick, Ivette checks in to see how he's doing. It means so much to us. If you're looking for a daycare, do yourself a favor and reach out to them. Tour their facility, and you'll understand exactly why we love them.

Ms. Ivette and Ms. Flor are genuinely caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth and happiness.

My kids not only learned so much but also made friendships and memories they will always cherish. They were very responsive to questions and updates, and the environment felt very safe. My kids were always excited to go each day! Thank you, Peke Daycare, for being a second home for our kiddos!

Honestly, it was the best decision we ever made. My daughter took a week to adjust but after that, she was so good. Ms. Sora made sure we felt at ease and sent us a lot of pictures so we knew she was doing okay. Not only is Ms. Sora kind and caring, she prepares such thoughtful activities for the kids that incorporates gross motor, fine motor skills, arts, music, and sensory experiences into fun, engaging activities. My daughter would often come home singing new songs, and I could tell she was having so much fun with all of these new experiences! The meals are also nutritious and well balanced - always includes rice, protein, veggies, fruit, and milk. My husband and I would often joke that our daughter eats better at daycare haha.

Their thoughtful guidance and encouragement helped my daughter feel comfortable in the classroom and take pride in her progress. Since moving on to a new school, my daughter's strong foundation has become even more apparent. Miss Dianna helped my daughter develop important early skills in phonetic sounds, numbers, and counting, while also building her confidence and independence as a learner. She has continued to do well academically, and we're grateful for the preparation and support she received. Miss Amy and Miss Tabitha were also wonderful Directors. They consistently made our family feel welcomed and supported, and their care for the children and families was evident in the warm, nurturing environment they created. They create an environment for their teachers to be successful. We're very thankful for the positive start Miss Dianna gave my daughter and for the care she received at LiMai Montessori Academy.

I was…read morehonestly very nervous and wanted to find the best place for her, not only somewhere she would be well cared for, but also an environment where she could learn, grow, and develop. I toured four or five different daycares before coming to Kids Adventure. From the moment I visited, I felt confident that this was the right place for my daughter. The school was clean, spacious, and welcoming, with a variety of meals, a great daily schedule, and many activities designed for the children. My daughter has learned and grown so much. She has become more confident, learned to greet people, sing and dance, count, and understand so many things we ask her to do. Most importantly, she has been loved, cared for, and encouraged every day. A very special thank you to Ms. Vanessa from the Infant class. My daughter used to cry so much whenever she was away from me, but Ms. Vanessa was incredibly patient, loving, and caring. She helped her feel safe and comfortable, and that meant so much to me as a mom. I feel so happy and grateful that I chose Kids Adventure. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers for being such an important part of my daughter's early years. We will always appreciate your love and care.

They also offer wonderful enrichment programs, including a weekly soccer coach and a weekly musician, both of which my son absolutely loved. He made great friends, looked forward to going to school each day, and always came home excited to share what he had learned. One of the things we appreciated most was the amazing staff. Everyone was so welcoming and always took the time to interact with parents, making us feel like part of the school community. A special thank you to Ms. Ebony, Ms. Vanessa, and Ms. Naydine for their incredible care, patience, and dedication. They truly treated the children with so much love and kindness while supporting their individual growth and development.

This was my very first experience with childcare, and I was so nervous in the beginning. It's such a hard thing to hand your baby over to someone else and trust that they'll be loved and cared for the way you would. We toured a few different daycares before finding Rose, and the moment I met her, I just knew this was the right place. Her home is beautiful, clean, and so welcoming--it immediately put me at ease. Those first few weeks were tough for me, but Rose was so kind and understanding. She sent me photos of Wyatt throughout the day and kept in touch so I always knew he was doing okay. That meant everything to me. Since starting with Rose, Wyatt has completely blossomed. His language has taken off, his social skills have improved so much, and he absolutely loves his routine of going in the mornings to see his friends. He's also built the sweetest bond with Noelle--he talks about her all the time at home and truly adores her. Rose and Noelle care for these kids like family, and it shows in every little thing they do. This review is way overdue, but if you're looking for a daycare where your child will be safe, happy, and cared for by people who truly love what they do, I can't recommend Rose and Noelle enough.

Communication was always great, and I could tell how much effort goes into making sure each child feels loved and cared for.
