This review has been a long time coming! I've had my daughter in Maria's care since she was about 3…read moremonths old, and has recently turned 2. I did my research before hand and was scared to trust anyone beside myself with my angel girl, but Maria came recommended and I can say this is the best decision we have made as a family. She's been great since day 1, from making our growth transitions smooth, being flexible with our needs and wants. She's patient, loving, and really cares about my child, from development needs has been open to so much. I 100% say go for it if your looking into Maria's childcare, I wish there more reviews like this to help other parents choose what's the best fit for them. Thank you Maria, Emily, Mina for all you do!

We are so happy to have found this daycare! Grechelt is so wonderful with all the kids. She is…read moreaware of their needs and is so patient and kind. She gives the kids a lot of outdoor time which is great because my son loves to be outdoor. While indoor they do so many activities! They've made fresh squeezed orange juice, special snacks for different holidays, letter of the week, Dr. Seuss week and so much more! She even teaches Spanish which is awesome. I feel so lucky to have found Grechelt and her day care. She also uses a parent app to provide updates of your child like activities and naps. This really made me comfortable knowing my son was having so much fun

When we heard of a new daycare opening up near us, we were so excited. And bilingual! We enrolled…read moreour then 14 month old right away. Among the things that we liked best before our son started was owner Gretchelt's extensive experience and background in childcare and child development, her direct and warm demeanor, the inside-outside space of the daycare, and the straight-forward rules. Over the past few months, as our son "grew" in the care and fellowship at My Happy Place Daycare, we were always surprised at all the things Gretchelt did to make the day to day special and enriching. From the "picture wall" with all the little kids photos, to changing the space up to create more light (and probably to keep the kids on their toes, figuring out where things are), to adding more toys (a brand new slide with soft cushion-y landing), to really responding to each kid's needs. One small example among many is that my son still sleeps 2 naps and I like that she respects his needs. At home I let my kid sleep when he needs and I credit that with him being a good sleeper. That Gretchelt creates that space for him at daycare was very important for me, and it keeps my kid happy. Another example is that she very gently and warmly supports change (when we got rid of bottles) and encourages good behavior (like throwing out trash, cleaning up, eating with utensils, etc). We were a little apprehensive that this was a new daycare, but I am so glad we followed our gut because we found not only an awesome daycare but also an awesome caregiver and awesome parents, too.

They do lots of activities for babies i was very surprised tge did painting hand prints foot painting with my baby. I like how they are very organized as well i never have anything missing from her bag. And when they change my 10 month old i noticed one day the teachers will wash her hands i was suprised at that they are very clean. I never even thought to wash my infants hands but ever since i seen themdo it i have continued. My 10 month old claps her hands. I like how the teachers document everythingabout my baby from six months to now everyday i can look back at what she did, learned and, and ate down to how long her naps were. My 3 year old loves it there as well. She always has to tell mrs. Domson goodbye when i pick her up. Also she has her favorite teachers as well. My 3 year old now knows a few prayers she actually started a tradition everytime we eat we pray i like that its something new she picked up from the school and she has implementedit in my house. Also she has me read her a book everynight. I like how the teachers are very interactive with the children. By far one of the best pre school in modesto. They will also call you if they hace questions or concerbs about your child instead of going off what they think is best to do. I like how they keep me invilved with my children when im at work keeps me at ease.

Victoria is absolutely amazing, my daughter Gianna went there for several years and now she is…read moreprepared for kindergarten. She knows her letters , shapes how to write her name and socialize with other children. Victoria never had days, she didn't do something with the children that was creative for example one time she made a washer that looked realistic by hand so they could have a pretend day there was other stuff to go along with the washer but she always had themes, she did reading time with the kids everyday. She did sensory play with the children and taught them so much my daughter had so many good days with Victoria even in my daughter's not so good days Victoria would come and get her and do fun stuff to make it a good day for her, her daycare was like a second home, I always felt my daughter was in great hands and never worried while I was away at work her assistants are amazing as well. Any kid that gets to be in Victoria's daycare is a lucky kid in my opinion. Jamie B.

We had nothing but good experiences here and highly recommend it. The teachers are very patient with the children, older children help younger children settle into routines, and the school even helps with potty training when the time comes. When our daughter started Kindergarten at the local elementary school, we found she was far beyond her classmates in math. This school prepared her well. Your child will take time to settle into the new environment. It took my oldest nearly six weeks. The school will work with you, so be patient and don't blame the school if your child isn't ready.

Let me save you the headache! This place is a freakinnn' mess…read more After essentially being pushed out just two days in, I was told I'd get a full refund, minus the two days my son was "in school", yeah.. ok. What I got instead was several weeks of back and fourth emails, and a check that was finally recieved via snail mail aka USPS. I thought: "FINALLY", cause... hey, we're talking a little over $1,800. I go to deposit it and lo and behold.. IT'S NOT SIGNED. Yes, seriously, they sent me an unsigned check. From there, I went back to the email thread, going back and forth a million times with accounting and random people who never introduced themselves. An aggressive email from a random staff member named Patricia, who never introduced herself or her role in the whole situation. I didn't receive any phone calls, no apology, no accountability. Weeks go by, and I don't receive another check, so I filed a dispute with my bank after attempting to resolve this for over a month. Guess what? I finally heard back from accounting. They tried to get me to cancel my dispute so that they could issue a check again. I said nope! Thankfully, a week or so later, my bank was able to refund me the entire amount after literally faxing them our email thread and the unsigned check. Please do not bring yourself or your children here. The staff here is unprofessional and incompetent and needs to brush up on their customer service. Avoid. At. All. Costs.
