We miss Paige and the peace of mind that came with her caring for our baby…read more My daughter went to daycare here from January 2020 - March 2021 when she was just 1.5yrs old. To be completely honest, I was a little hesitant at first only because we had a bad experience with daycare centers in Orange County - we relocated to Merced in Sept. 2019. But since Back to Square Fun is located at Paige's home, we felt a lot more at ease shortly after my daughter started there as it truly has a warm, safe, and inviting feel to it. At first my daughter would cry at drop off due to stranger-danger mentality. But Paige won her affection very quickly. She would send us pictures and videos of her eating, sleeping, and playing with other kids around her age. This reassured me that our little girl was in the best hands possible. You really need to look no further for the best care for your little one. But do try to get on the waitlist asap! We now have a 6mo. old son and been trying to hang onto him until something opens up with Paige.

So my nerves for bringing my baby into a home care was out of this world. Paige really helped ease that from the very beginning. She has a huge heart and takes so much time to make sure our babies are in great hands. She's very caring and organized. Her home is beautiful, quiet and she has everything for the kids to stay entertained. She has been amazing and id recommend her to anyone who asks! Great prices, great person and a great heart!

Not sure what's up with the last review, but our experience was overwhelmingly positive. From the…read morefirst meeting and tour, the children all looked happy and well cared for and we only had good experiences. On the tour, our child's teacher reviewed the curriculum and educational rationale, and it was clear that there was substantial thought to all aspects of the child's day. I started my child in the toddler room, and the best thing I can say about it, is that each day that he goes, he's excited when we pull up to campus, and every day when we pick him up, he tells us he had fun at school. We get thorough descriptions of his day, what he liked, and where he struggled. Excellent communication with parents. Snacks include local organic produce from our local CSA. Ms Sonya and Ms Samantha run a great classroom and I would have no reservations making the same choice again.

My granddaughter went here and these women were horrible. They gossip they chose sides between mothers and fathers that were separated And wouldn't listen to the parent that was trying to complain. They would be friend the mother's and then be condescending towards the fathers that they had questions to ask. I don't understand why the school is still opened. We tried to find out what the monthly payment was Because my son had to pay half and his ex-wife would not give him that info she would just verbally tell him what he owed and the owner would not give my son any information on the prices. I would never recommend this glorified daycare center

I did a lot of research prior to enrolling my child into the MERCED MONTESSORI School. He…read morepreviously attended a Montessori school in Modesto and I was very hopeful that the Merced school would have a similar approach and standard. It quickly became apparent this was not the case. I did not feel my child was emotionally supported at the pre-school, there was lack of attention on the students during play time (I saw two students physically hurt each other while behind the teachers back), and I personally had to take away two dead cockroaches from a group of students who were playing with them during recess. The teachers refused to let my child eat his lentil chips claiming they were unhealthy while simultaneously offer Ritz Crackers and plastic wrapped processed cheese slices during snack time. During the first week, I picked my child up from day care, only for him to show me a massive 4 inch cut down his arm. To my surprise not one of the teachers could explain how or when it happened. My child attended for a total of six days before I decided that his well-being was not prioritized in the school. I will say, there are many people who love this school for their students. It's possible that we got a very unfortunate look into their summer programming. Ultimately, I did not feel my child was safe and decided to find another pre-school.

My son has been in the care of Gilda and her daughter since he was three months old. He's now a little over a year old and I know that when I'm at work my son is getting the utmost care and attention. He's always happy to see his friends when she opens the door and sometimes it's hard to get him to leave. The home is clean, they feed him well, and we've never had an issue the entire time we've been there.

He is 16 months but requires extra love and attention due to a heart defect he was born with, she has gone above and beyond when it comes to helping him with things like learning to crawl, stand and other basic things that most kids his age are already doing. She loves the kids at her daycare as if they were her own. She is very genuine and I'm so grateful to her and her daughter for all that they have done for us! My sons first word was Gilda and he gets excited the moment I pull into the driveway!

One of the better things about them is they coordinate care and communicate with the parents.
