My son started DLC in 2017 at age 2, and it has been one of the best parenting decisions we have…read moremade. He is now in third grade and just finished the summer program. He loves it there. When we first started looking for a daycare, I wanted a play-based non-chain environment. DLC was super close to our house, and I loved the philosophies I read on their website. DLC has been more than I hoped. We were there before pandemic, during pandemic, after pandemic. All the time they had a warm and professional staff, helping all of us navigate zoom-school. The teachers are wonderful and caring. The outdoor play area is huge. The school-age kids in the summer do a ton of field trips. They are very communicative. I feel well-informed. They are constantly evolving and improving. But most of all, my son loves it. He is sad he doesn't go there anymore. I think he would love to be a kid at DLC forever. He has made memories and friendships that will last him a lifetime.

I'm confident that my children are in the right place and grateful to have this opportunity. On top of all that, the community at DLC is wonderful. I've recruited every parent in the vicinity to join DLC, and, if you are in the market for a daycare, I want to recruit you too.

The teachers are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to helping each child grow. Ms. Tanya, the director, is awesome--she genuinely cares about the kids and runs the school with so much heart and professionalism. A special shout-out to Ms. Joanna, who has been such a loving and caring teacher. My girls absolutely adore her, and it's clear how much she loves what she does. The school's educational program is excellent, and they've always been flexible and understanding with scheduling. Our daughters have learned so much and built great confidence here. Thank you, Ms. Tanya, Ms. Joanna, and the entire CHM team for creating such a nurturing place for children to learn and thrive. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for the perfect preschool for their child. -Wagner

He…read morestarted at the age of two and was barely speaking, within weeks we saw a complete difference- he's now educating me about the Solar System, Rain Forest, singing new songs, etc. They follow an actual curriculum and provide the subject matter to the parents via email in advance so we always know what's on the calendar. I'm very impressed with the communication from education, illnesses, fun events, children's progress, etc. The teachers are so kind and caring- my son loves them all and so do we! The school is welcoming, it truly feels like a second home, and we couldn't recommend it enough. Soon my second will be joining and I'm looking forward to watching him grow here too! Thanks CHM!!

For the last year as a stay home mother our son became closely attached to me,but after one day at Creative Spirit he wakes up on weekends and wishes it was a school day .

There is something to say about finding the right school…read more The right preschool. The one where you drop your kid off and they don't cry, they don't run after you and make you feel horrible for having a job. They have a clean face and a full belly when you show up for them. They have a clean diaper for the ride home. They have taken and sent multiple pics thru the day. They have a smile on their face when you pick them up, not running crying to you. They have low ratio supervision. The school that you (literally) have never heard a child crying, and i have been there all hours of the day. The school where the staff is dressed appropriately according to their position. Where there is always a genuine smile (or shoulder) for you. The one where actual projects, sand play, water play, art every day are done and the rooms are not destroyed. In February, that's just what we did. I won't mention the school for privacy reasons but anyone who knows they have changed schools knows i have been raving about them. All our younger kiddos go there currently. All I'm saying is, it makes a huge difference where your children feel comfortable enough to run off from you instead of after you. So thank you to all the educators who put in their days seemingly effortlessly to teach our children of all ages.You are making a difference

Miss Keiko has provided a warm and simple preschool that has been a great transition from the home…read moreto school for my child, helping to set the tone that school is a fun, safe, and special place to be. Treasure Garden is built on a curriculum that focuses on developing foundational practical kinesthetic habits, self, community, and space-care techniques, and inspiring a love for learning and social relationships. The rhythm of the seasons, the day-to-day routine (play, art, snack, play, lesson, play, lunch, clean-up, story), and the processing of each day's lessons (ranging from accountability, to being good friends, to how to use scissors, why the seasons change, the colors, physical exercises, raising butterflies, making dumplings and sushi) allows for little ones to strengthen their sense of self and fulfill their joy in knowing that they can contribute in a meaningful way. Keiko's approach, steeped with an appreciation and joy for young children, balances Waldorf principals and Japanese traditions, cultivates a love for school, helping others, creative outdoor play, and a love for learning in my child--foundations that I highly value and am grateful for.

Then we were fortunate enough to get introduced to Fair Oaks Village Childcare, by another parent with their kids already there. What a blessing it is to know Zohreh and Hashem and their wonderful childcare service!!! First and foremost I always felt my kids were safe, and from the moment of our interview we knew this was going to be the place (don't be fooled Zohreh is interviewing you!) We have gained an extended family, my kids are not just safe, they are well taken care of, they are taught, they have learned big life lessons under their fair and always respectful tutelage, but above all they are truly loved! And let me tell you the joy we have to see how much our children absolutely love them is the best feedback you can ever get for a childcare facility. My kids LOVE what Zohreh and Hashem have built for them!
