We miss Paige and the peace of mind that came with her caring for our baby…read more My daughter went to daycare here from January 2020 - March 2021 when she was just 1.5yrs old. To be completely honest, I was a little hesitant at first only because we had a bad experience with daycare centers in Orange County - we relocated to Merced in Sept. 2019. But since Back to Square Fun is located at Paige's home, we felt a lot more at ease shortly after my daughter started there as it truly has a warm, safe, and inviting feel to it. At first my daughter would cry at drop off due to stranger-danger mentality. But Paige won her affection very quickly. She would send us pictures and videos of her eating, sleeping, and playing with other kids around her age. This reassured me that our little girl was in the best hands possible. You really need to look no further for the best care for your little one. But do try to get on the waitlist asap! We now have a 6mo. old son and been trying to hang onto him until something opens up with Paige.

Her home is beautiful, quiet and she has everything for the kids to stay entertained. She has been amazing and id recommend her to anyone who asks! Great prices, great person and a great heart!

Not sure what's up with the last review, but our experience was overwhelmingly positive. From the…read morefirst meeting and tour, the children all looked happy and well cared for and we only had good experiences. On the tour, our child's teacher reviewed the curriculum and educational rationale, and it was clear that there was substantial thought to all aspects of the child's day. I started my child in the toddler room, and the best thing I can say about it, is that each day that he goes, he's excited when we pull up to campus, and every day when we pick him up, he tells us he had fun at school. We get thorough descriptions of his day, what he liked, and where he struggled. Excellent communication with parents. Snacks include local organic produce from our local CSA. Ms Sonya and Ms Samantha run a great classroom and I would have no reservations making the same choice again.

Merced Montessori School was recommended to us by a family whose children both attended and…read moreattribute their kids scholastic and life success to all of the staff, and owner/caretaker/instructor of this school. Unlike non-related "daycare" facilities in the area, Merced Montessori School prepares/teaches kids at a very young age (we started our daughter at 2 or before) early critical skills for their quickly approaching elementary education. This type of instruction focuses on literary/life skills and independence (you learn by making mistakes safety) rather than simply putting them into a group room and monitoring the chaos. Each morning children are assigned "jobs" and are taught to accomplish literary and physical tasks aimed at building cognitive and mechanical skills. They must keep track of their lunch, jackets, clothes etc., and have responsibilities from the moment they arrive. Free time/Play time occurs throughout the day and from what I have seen creates an environment to practice the social skills they have learned. "The First 5 Years" are unquestionably the most important years in our children's lives and for this reason we have entrusted Merced Montessori School with our daughters care and education during this formative time.... We could not have been more blessed!!

My granddaughter went here and these women were horrible. They gossip they chose sides between mothers and fathers that were separated And wouldn't listen to the parent that was trying to complain. They would be friend the mother's and then be condescending towards the fathers that they had questions to ask. I don't understand why the school is still opened. We tried to find out what the monthly payment was Because my son had to pay half and his ex-wife would not give him that info she would just verbally tell him what he owed and the owner would not give my son any information on the prices.

He's always happy to see his friends when she opens the door and sometimes it's hard to get him to leave.

He is 16 months but requires extra love and attention due to a heart defect he was born with, she has gone above and beyond when it comes to helping him with things like learning to crawl, stand and other basic things that most kids his age are already doing. She loves the kids at her daycare as if they were her own. She is very genuine and I'm so grateful to her and her daughter for all that they have done for us! My sons first word was Gilda and he gets excited the moment I pull into the driveway!

My son started at Little Einstein at 9 months old, which was 4 years ago. My daughter started at 5 months old, 2 years ago. Carolina and her family are truly amazing. She genuinely cares about each child and creates a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they can learn and grow. It's clear that they take the time to get to know each child's personality and help them build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. She has taught my kids so many things to prepare them for school and life. She is so sweet and kind. She makes all home cooked healthy meals for the kids that my children rave about. They throw special parties for birthdays and holidays. She is always doing fun crafts that I cherish. My children are treated like part of her family in her beautiful home. We have been so happy with Little Einstein that we had our friend's son join as well. As parents, there is no better feeling than dropping your children off knowing they are happy, well cared for, and excited to be there. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Little Einstein and highly recommend them to any family looking for a daycare that feels like an extension of home.

We've been with Ms. Carolina for the past two years, and I'm so thankful for the care she has given my daughter. When my daughter was around 20 months old, she went through a stage where she didn't want to eat, drink, or play much. Ms. Carolina kept me updated every day, and we worked together to help her through it. Thankfully, it didn't last long, and now she's eating and drinking well again. I also love that Ms. Carolina cooks fresh meals every day and makes sure the kids drink plenty of water, especially during the hot weather. My daughter was also potty trained at daycare when she was a little over 2 years old, which was a huge help for us. As a full-time working parent, having a daycare I can trust has been such a relief. Ms. Carolina has also been very flexible with early drop-offs and late pick-ups when I needed them, and I really appreciate that. I definitely recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring, reliable, and loving place for their child. We're so grateful for everything Ms. Carolina has done for our daughter.
