    Four years ago I had come to the office looking for help getting a permit, and I had a really bad…read moreexperience. The woman who was supposed to help me took a look at my transcript, said no, and sent me on my way. No support, no guidance, no appeared interest in wanting to answer any of my questions. I remember leaving discouraged and confused because I couldn't understand why my classmates, who all had the same courses as me, were able to get a permit and I wasn't. I remember being frustrated and not wanting to go back to the office because it seemed like a waste of time. Fast forward to today, I met with a credential specialist named Mario Castillo who was super helpful! He was very patient with me and helped walk me through the process of what I needed to do. He offered me different options for what I was interested in getting, and showed me all the forms I could use for the application. He was very knowledgeable, and it was clear he knew how to do his job and could do it well. I left feeling encouraged, and I left with a much better taste in my mouth of the County of Education office. I now feel like I know what next steps I need to take, and I don't feel as lost. Good customer service really does make a difference, and I'm glad that Mario was able to assist me today.

    Everyone is so helpful and friendly. When I arrived I went up to the trailer and lady there was so…read morekind and helped me and walked me where I needed to go. Fingerprints lady was also so nice and informative. Everyone is awesome here! Thank you!!

    I can't say enough good things about this business and about Jeni Rayle. She is everything you…read morecould want in an advocate; she is knowledgeable, she truly cares about the families she represents and she will fight for your child to recieve the services they deserve. We had spent years disappointed with our autistic son's placement in SDUSD. She helped us figure out what options he had and helped us navigate our next steps. We had our IEP meeting this week and we could not be happier with the results. I cannot thank her enough for advocating for our son! She changed his life by getting him placed in an environment where he can get the help he needs (and deserves)!

    Having Jeni as our advocate was not only the easiest step we made for our son AND daughter, it was…read morea gift to our family. Navigating our own way was overwhelming and confusing. As much as we tried on our own to communicate the needs of our kids, we, at times didn't even know what we should be asking for from the school. From the first meeting, to our last meeting, Jeni was not only professional, but she cared. She knew our frustration and her experience, her kindness and patience saved our family. It opened up doors at school and saved our sanity at home. We trusted Jeni as her communication with us was always available, our questions and concerns were always answered and reassured. Jeni met each timeline and was always in contact with us and the school. She always made sure we were "in the know". Best decision we ever made!

    Alexa's PLAYC is a truly special center…read more Our daughter has been there since she was 18 months. She was shy and apprehensive when she started, and has since grown into an independent, spirited, and fun-loving toddler. We are so thankful to the teachers and staff for providing our girl with a safe, welcoming place to explore and learn. There are so many things I could say, but here are a few highlights: * The teachers and staff are all highly trained on, and passionate about, early childhood education. Having come from another daycare, I can really see how Alexa's PLAYC is intentional about every element of the space. They use evidence-based philosophies, reflect constantly on what the children are exploring, and update the different spaces responsively. If the kids seem to want to explore different textures, they will document it and add more sensory materials. * There is a garden!!! It is beautifully maintained by the outdoor teacher. We love that our daughter gets to spend time in nature each week. The playgrounds are also spacious and full of enriching activities. * There is fun programming, like the weekly live music class! Because of Alexa's PLAYC's affiliation with Rady Children's Hospital, there are extra fun events sprinkled throughout the year. We had visits from a monster truck and a penguin from the zoo in the past few months. * The classrooms are mixed-age and inclusive -- meaning that our toddler has been able to make friends of all backgrounds. I believe that she's made leaps and bounds in her socialization and learning as a result. Though she was barely speaking at the time of enrollment, our daughter's language and imaginative play have since exploded. * Alexa's PLAYC's commitment to supporting children across the neurodiversity spectrum results in an incredibly supportive enviroment. For example, they are diligent about maintaining the low teacher-to-student ratio. Truly, though, words fail to describe the everyday magic that Alexa's PLAYC creates... We love seeing our daughter come home with paint on her face and dirt on her pants -- the signs of a creative mind hard at work (play)! It is so fun getting glimpses of her world at daycare. She will play guitar (in the style of the music teacher), water our plants (like she would in the garden), and proudly talk about new friends and hobbies ("I sit bicycle!"). It has been such a joy to see our daughter, and so many other children, blossom at Alexa's PLAYC.

    Our family has had an incredible, truly life-changing experience at Alexa's PLAYC…read more Our daughter received her autism diagnosis around her third birthday, and like many families, we were overwhelmed trying to find the right resources, the right environment, and people we could genuinely trust. From our very first interaction with the team at Alexa's PLAYC, we felt like we had found a place that not only understood autism and child development at a deep level, but also understood how to support families with compassion, clarity, and care. We have been at Alexa's PLAYC for about 9 months now, and we have nothing but great things to say about the administrators, teachers, and BCBAs. The staff is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They take the time to understand each child's individual needs and goals, and they do a great job tailoring the curriculum and day-to-day activities around those needs. One of the things we appreciate most is that Alexa's PLAYC truly lives out a child-led, play-based philosophy while still incorporating helpful elements of ABA in a way that feels balanced and respectful, never rigid or overbearing. We have seen real growth in our daughter, and just as importantly, we have felt supported as parents throughout the process. We also love the mixed environment of neurotypical and neurodivergent children. It creates a more natural, inclusive setting that reflects the diversity kids will experience in the real world, and it helps foster understanding, flexibility, and empathy from an early age. Finally, the team itself seems incredibly cohesive. The teachers, administrators, and BCBAs appear to genuinely like working together and support one another, which matters so much in an environment where every child may have a different set of needs and challenges. We are deeply grateful for Alexa's PLAYC and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, capable, and deeply thoughtful preschool environment.
