    Mustard Seed Preschool & Kindergarten

    When it came time to look for a preschool for my daughter (4 years ago) I did a lot of research…read moreonline and in person. Thanks to all the great reviews here on Yelp and also a referral from one of my very good friends we decided to go with Mustard Seed as a place for my daughter to grow. She was 4 years old when she started and was very, very shy and was nervous. But it did not take her long to warm up and get comfortable with her super sweet classmates and the wonderful staff. The following year she continued onto TK and flourished into this bright intelligent little girl. The teachers at Mustard Seed did such an amazing job teaching the all the students and preparing them for Kindergarten. My daughter is currently in 2nd grade and is reading at the 6th grade level and I can't imagine her advancing to this level of education if it weren't for Mustard Seed. Fast forward - I needed child care for my youngest son as I prepared to go back to work and so thankful they have a toddler program I was able to enroll my son in at 18 months old. They love and care for all the children like it were their own and this gives us parents a peace of mind. He is now 3 1/2 years old and graduated to the preschool room where he absolutely loves to learn and play with his classmates that he calls, his best friends.

    My kids really enjoyed their time here even tho it was cut short due to the shelter in place and…read morepandemic. Both my kids went here, wish the grades went up higher. My Son was in kindergarten but now he is moving on to first grade and my daughter will continue to come here she was in preschool but now she will be starting TK. The teachers and staff at mustard seed really love what they do! They are all about the children's safety and well being. Not only that they make learning fun and exciting! My kids always looked forward to going to school each day. This place is very family oriented and they treat our children as if they were their own. Nothing but love and compassion from mustard seed! I'm kinda sad that it had to end so abruptly but I'm hoping and praying this fall we can have a better year for 20/21 school year! I sure do give teachers a whole new level of respect, their jobs are not easy! All teachers need to have more recognition for the work that they do!

    Baby MacBean - Imaginary play and drama

    Baby MacBean

    Baby MacBean was AMAZING! You won't find a better daycare. They implemented a curriculum--even at…read morethe infant level--that included sensory activities, art, reading, and science. My son was actively engaged every day with painting, dancing, growing plants, cooking lessons, and story time. By 18 months, my son knew four colors, spoke in 3-4 word meaningful sentences, asked questions, had a vocabulary of well over 100 words, could name a dozen animals and their sounds, played pretend, and could identify a word on each page of his favorite books. He cleaned up his toys when asked, apologized when he hurt someone, said please and thank you, and even cleared his own dishes and wiped his spot at the table after dinner. That kind of independence and empathy at such a young age was extraordinary--and entirely due to the care and structure Miss Cassie provided. By age 4, my son was reading, writing his name, cutting complex shapes, counting to 100, and could name all the planets in the solar system along with their characteristics, among many other advanced skills. If you want your child to gain lifelong social-emotional skills and enter kindergarten well above grade level, this is the place. The waitlist can be long, but Miss Claudia does her best to accommodate working parents.

    Stay away! At first,…read morewe had very high hopes after meeting Ms Claudia and doing the complete tour of all locations. There were few red flags at the beginning, but being new parents, we kind of brushed them off. Big mistake: 1) Ms Claudia tried to change the diaper of our 1yr old daughter. She tired to have her lay down on a changing pad, which our little one would have none of it. Our girl was hysterically crying and trying to break free from this woman who has "extensive experience". We couldn't believe what we were seeing: Ms Claudia totally ignored our girls hysterical crying, and continued her "left-right" story as if this is normal. It is not normal. My wife made sure to let her know that our little one has never cried like this, not even during her vaccine shots! 2) During one of our visits, we heard barking from one of the rooms, and were told that one of the dogs recently gave birth that there were 6 puppies. I love dogs, but 6 puppies + 2 adult dogs in a fairly tight indoor space is not ideal when toddlers are trying to nap. We made sure to read the Parent Handbook and fill out the forms and pre-pay for the first month tuition, even though we were just starting the 4-week Trial Period. Our child only attended 2 days (in the Trial Period). I informed Ms Claudia that we will not continue further, and only ask that we are refunded for the pre-paid monthly tuition ($1,995). In her Parent Handbook (pg 14) it clearly states the following: "At any time during the four (4) week trial period, if the provider or family feels that this is not a suitable arrangement for the child, the contract can be terminated by either party without penalty, notice, or specific reason. The security deposit will be refunded in full and the family will only be responsible to pay for the days attended." Totally reasonable. We had no problem paying for the 2 (gentle days) she attended along with the non-refundable registration fee. But there is a catch! When I brought up the tuition refund, I was informed that the "tuition" is non-refundable. A tuition paid for a month in advance, where my child never attended a single day. You've gotta be kidding me! I will seek legal advice since this is clearly breach of the contract we signed with conflicting details.

We felt that way from the infant room through the toddler room, all the regular teachers and even the "floaters". I feel so grateful for the love and safety they've provided to all three of my children-- I've never had to worry that my children were well cared for while I was at work. They are also very thoughtful with teaching the kiddos new topics each week, and they do tons of art. The facility is also very new-- new paint, new carpets, new play structures. I highly recommend Sunshine house.

It was a bit of a rough transition because sunshine house was the new owner and so there was some turnover but it seems to have leveled out. The teachers are so kind and truly care about the children. When I come to pickup my son I hear the teachers laughing with the kids in the outdoor space. The kids who come here are also so kind. My son reported that "there is a new friend" at school and that everyone was excited to welcome him to circle time. The kids all give my son a hug when he leaves which so so sweet to watch. I will say they have a strict nutrition plan. I put Oreos in my son's lunch one day as a treat and they sent them home because "those are after school snacks." That seems extreme to me, if you require I pack my kid's lunch (a new policy for the school) don't complain about what I send. You can't bring cupcakes to school to celebrate birthdays (even the mini ones). This all seems extreme to me. Overall, sunshine house has been great for our family. Thank you sunshine house, for all you do!

Jaime and her team are amazing they're caring, patient, and truly treat every child like family. In just six weeks, we've already noticed a big difference in our son. He's only a year and a half, and he's starting to put small words together! We can tell he's learning and growing every day because of the love and attention he gets here. We recently moved from the Peninsula and were nervous about finding a daycare we could really trust, but Mimi's Grasshopper has gone above and beyond. Emiliano loves it here, and so do we. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for their little one!

Currently our youngest daughter attends and has been going there since she was 18 months old (she's now 4.5). Both of our girls love teacher Jamie and the rest of the MeeMee's staff so much! The children are so well taken care of and have so much fun when they are there. The house has a classroom with tons of toys and a large, beautiful backyard with a swing set/ play structure and tons of other activities to do outside. I love that they are learning through play. I am so appreciative of the staff at MeeMee's for loving my kids and taking such great care of them. It truly is a peace of mind knowing that your kids are safe and taken care of AND that they actually love going to preschool when mom and dad have to work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare!
