Lyda Daycare isn't just a daycare... it's truly like family. We had just moved here from California…read moreand didn't know anyone, and finding the right care for our child felt so overwhelming. From the very first day, Fareshteh aka Grandma welcomed us with open arms and instantly made us feel at home. She's the heart and soul of the daycare, and her warmth and love set the tone for everything. Masu aka Grandpa is there as wonderful support and backup, and together they make an incredible team. Dropping our little one off each day feels like leaving them with the grandma you always wished you had as a kid. Fareshteh pours so much love and attention into every single child. Every meal is home-cooked with fresh, organic ingredients, and you can tell how much care and intention goes into everything she does. Don't get me started on birthdays! Beyond the incredible care, Fareshteh provides so many enriching experiences for the kids. There's always time for creative arts and crafts, engaging educational activities, cozy nap times, and even help with potty training. Our little one lights up every morning when we arrive, and that peace of mind as a parent is everything. Fareshteh and Masu don't just care for children....they nurture them, teach them, and love them like their own. We're endlessly grateful to have found Lyda Daycare. Moving to a new place can be hard, but this beautiful duo turned it into home for us.

Lyda daycare is a home away from home for my little boy. The kids have the run of a large area…read moreincluding an indoor play house and many toys, puzzles, and games. He often comes home with arts and crafts he's drawn or put together and it is sometimes hard to get him to leave. There is a very calm a d peaceful yet playful aura to children's space. Fereshteh truly cares for the children under her care and we saw that from our son's first few days. We visited to ensure a great fit and immediately was comfortable and drawn to her. At a previous daycare, drop off was dramatic and hard with crying and the inevitable parental guilt. However at Lyda, after just 2 days, my boy looked forward to his time there and was able to give me a hug, a kiss, and turn to go inside. That has never changed and means so much to me as a parent. The home is inviting and calm. Ferrshteh is loving, kind, and dedicated to the children. I highly recommend Lyda daycare.

It's a smaller preschool, so they get a lot of attention- she left knowinghow to write letters and numbers, she also practiced writing her name a lot here. She's my 3rd child and I felt she was just as well prepared for kindergarten as my older two that went to a larger preschool. They serve healthy snacks and lunches, and were very accomodating and attentive to my daughter's allergy. She loved her teachers, especially Teacher Alyna, who is so kind and was such a consistent presence throughout her whole time there. All of the teachers speak spanish, some english. My daughter left knowing all of her colors in both spanish and english. They have a safe, fenced in play area also. I've been taking my children to different daycares for 10 years, we had a great experience at Little World.

Since it is a cooperative preschool and I've gotten to spend time in the classroom, I feel so much more connected with my child's experience and he has thrived. We're looking forward to many more years here!

My oldest son went to Metzger Community Preschool last year and my youngest has started this year…read moreand we absolutely love this school. Both my children have thrived and grown so much here. The "play based" style has given them a chance to learn in a fun and safe place. Teacher Paula is a patient, kind and welcoming teacher and the biggest reason for our return. She has taught me, as a parent, so much as well. The class sizes are perfect for the kids to learn to play independently but also get the one on one time they need to grow. Having the older preschool class practice lunch was also such a great prep for Kindergarten. This school is more than we hoped for. It's been a community for our family and I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a preschool.

$50 application fee hurts, for the first time. But it's one time so I can look past. My son and his…read morecousin needed child care when our daycare was closed down for "teacher training" I filled out a form and got a call that day. I needed childcare the following day and Yayaa called me the same day I registered and schedule a time to come. Yayaa was super prompt and very professional. She's amazing with both my son and his cousin, she's an amazing care taker and she also cleaned up after herself and the kids. Put all the toys away and even wiped down the kitchen counter and my sons high chair. Yayaa is really friendly and super easy to talk to! I want her to come back all the time, in fact if my son wasn't in daycare I would want her to be my sons permanent nanny! Please don't bombard her with requests for childcare because I want her to use her service!!! Highly recommend this agency and this nanny!!!

I absolutely LOVE Guidepost! I'm proud to be a Guidepost mama! My son has been going here since he…read morewas just over 2 and he will be 4 in Feb. I can see the immense growth in his independence, skills with his numbers, vocabulary, and general knowledge! This child sings songs about continents and tells me about adding numbers! What?!! And none of it feels pressured or stressful. It's organic, thoughtful, and just magic! Many ppl feel that Montessori teaching leaves a lot to the child workout boundaries but I can say that's not true. Yes, children are observed to see what they naturally gravitate towards, but they are also guided and encouraged to explore other activities in their classroom environment. I can go on and on but I truly love this place, the community of parents and absolutely amazing teachers! I'm kinda obsessed with all the natural wood through the school and classrooms too. Don't judge me!

Regional Director is fully corporate and clearly focussed on the $$ for profit bottom line. Little understanding of positive behavior supports. Archaic behavior management consequences in place.

And shockingly... one of the most expensive sites nearby. We pulled our kids after 4/5 months of waiting for it to improve.
