I have taken my time to write this review until after my daughter left the school because of course…read moreI wanted to get a more bird eye view. With that in mind, I wanna say I am deeply grateful for this school. They have great systems in place with low ratio and really teach the little ones a lot while they're there. I can solidly say that at two years old my daughter can count from one to 20 and sing the whole alphabet along with about 15 different nursery, rhymes and stack blocks and has very advanced fine motor and motor skills because of the school. I'm a licensed OT and always felt safe with and confident in staff. Mrs. Nali, Mrs Dhammika, and Mrs Nayana are well educated in this age group, patient, and loving. All of the staff are truly wonderful. We went from infant, to wobbler, to toddler and transitioned very well. I don't know the frequency but every time my child which class they gave me a comprehensive developmental checklist to tell me what my child was doing or wasn't doing that was on track for proper development or not and that is huge. When you're a busy parent and don't always notice some of the things that Are typical or atypical to have some professional eyes to help you understand where your child is developmentally is huge. They are CPR trained and do a great job with making sure they're fed and changed consistently. My baby never came home hungry or never was crying when I picked her up and never got diaper rash there. If you choose to be part of the little app, you will get photos of your child. Once every couple weeks in the classroom is playing with the other children. They also send little videos and they do little Halloween parades and classroom parties. The Christmas parade is precious too! The focus of MONTESSORI is self-sufficiency which as an occupational therapist I really love. She would come home and if she spilled something, she would run right away to try to clean it up. She very much wanted to learn how to do things on her own and she knew how to threw away her own trash, which was not something I taught her at home necessarily lol It truly is adorable and prepares your baby for a successful road ahead with school and life beyond. My only thing I would change is having carpet or soft floor in the infant room vs hard floors. Other than that, everything really is done perfectly, and they have a lovely little outdoor space that they take them to a few times a day where they can ride bikes and do the slide and all of that. Learning how to operate in a group and look at what the rest of the group is doing and follow along is a critical life skill, and my baby has transitioned to preschool seamlessly because of her experience at this other school. In fact, one of her current teachers used to work at Wee care as well and has positive things to say.

Unfortunately, now there is one instructor who demands absolute silence in her class, barks at people who even greet each other or sing along; threatens removal from the pool - zero people skills Yet feels free to make chitchat when it occurs to her to speak... ie. Introducing her son (also employed at pool), asking participants' opinions etc. Targets participants to single out, name, blame & shame.. Incredible, after taking aqua aerobics for over a decade, - enjoying every moment - we have finally landed in a class- for the last time - where leader brings nothing new to the table in terms of actual instruction, but manages to wring every drop of joy in what used to be elevating fun workouts - taking it all entirely too seriously.

Ms. Ana is not only so wonderful and warm but a truly trustworthy person. She welcomed me and my son with open arms and made us feel instantly part of her family. In the morning, she welcomes you and your little one with a great smile and open arms. My son was always happy to see her and her staff. Ms. Ana and her wonderful staff are very generous- 1. Free meals and snacks included in the tuition 2. They keep all the kids in a scheduled routine and dedicate time for the kids to go over school materials and naps. 3. Ms. Ana will also wash your kid's blankets weekly. Laundry on the home! 4. Her home daycare is full of joy, love, and laughter. I couldn't be happier to have had Ms. Ana in my son's life. He had many milestones and memories and gained a wonderful person in his little life.

Their flexibility and warmth really helped put me at ease during a transition that felt very big for our family. One thing I really appreciated was the daily photos and the updates we would receive at pick-up. It helped me feel connected to her day and reassured me that she was happy, safe, and engaged. The biggest sign of how wonderful this place is was how my daughter responded. She would run right in at drop-off without hesitation and often talked about her teachers and friends at home. It was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. We also saw so much growth in her during the time she was there. She became more social, more confident, and really started to come out of her shell. For the level of care, communication, and attention the children receive, the value is truly there. Finding childcare you can trust is priceless, and we always felt like she was in good hands. We are very grateful for the care she received and would absolutely recommend this daycare to other families looking for a nurturing and trustworthy environment.

Mrs. Nesha and Ms. Helene genuinely love the kids, and it shows every single day. My daughter gets the perfect balance of affection and encouragement to be independent. I love seeing what she does at school because they inspire her to explore and learn in ways I don't always think to do at home. The communication is top-notch, and getting photos throughout the day is truly the highlight of my day. By being a Turner Cub, Gia has become smarter, braver, and more social.

Every month we receive a newsletter telling us the theme for each weeks' lesson plan. Some of the staff members have worked here for 20+ years which reassures us that they are committed and caring. The cost is right on par with most preschools, but this school can take the under 2 y/o's which our daughter was under 2 when she started. We feel so thankful to have found Miss Jay's! Miss Jay's has been operating for 25+ years and they also have a sister preschool on the other side of Long Beach since 2008. Try it! You won't be disappointed.

I cannot express how grateful I am for Kap and all of the wonderful staff at Miss Jay's…read more After a bad experience elsewhere I was in a pinch and needed some where right away for my 18month old. I didn't want to leave him at all, but as a newly single mom I had to go back to work earlier than I had hoped. There was already so much going on for us both that I just needed to find somewhere where Miles could experience security, stability and hopefully feel a sense of home away from home. Despite being a 30 minute drive from home, as soon as we arrived to check out Miss Jay's I sensed that my son would be safe and comfortable here. There was an air of freedom in the kids and the environment was cozy and warm feeling. After observing for a while and chatting with Kap about how they do things, I felt confident my son would receive the love and attention he needed here, so I asked if he could start the following day. Kap made it work for us, and only now do I see how huge of a favor that truly was. It was a hard transition for us all, Miles cried every day when I left him for a long time, and he didn't want to nap for even longer! But every day as I left, Miss Brisa would scoop him up in her arms, so I knew he was at least being comforted. I know they all had a hard time trying to get him to nap, but they let him go at his own pace and stuck with it and eventually, after a lot of love and reassurance, he finally realised it was safe to close his eyes and sleep there. I was just so happy when it got to the point where he was excited to go to school and see his friends and his teachers! He would bring home crafts, we got pictures of their holiday parties and I could just tell he loved going to school. He actually often didn't want to come home at the end of the day!! I'm just so grateful for Miss Jay's and we are so sad to leave. If it were closer to home he'd be there until it was time for big boy school! But he is a little older now and so we are transitioning him to a little larger preschool closer to home. They have big shoes to fill!! So I'm really hoping things go smoothly and he grows to like it as much as he did Miss Jay's. Thank you again Kap and everyone at Miss Jay's for taking such good care of my baby!! We will always remember and cherish our time with you
