Ms. Jeanette and Playhouse are simply amazing. Our daughter started attending around the age of…read moretwo, and the growth we saw during her time there was incredible. From learning her ABCs and counting to building social skills and confidence with other kids, the foundation she gained was invaluable. Ms. Jeanette provides so much genuine care, patience, and love-not just to our daughter, but to all of her students. You can truly feel how invested she is in each child's development and well-being. We unfortunately had to switch schools due to relocation, but our daughter still talks about Playhouse and her friends there almost every day. That alone speaks volumes about the positive, nurturing environment Ms. Jeanette creates. Our daughter even wants to leave voicemails! We plan to visit whenever we can. We are beyond grateful for the care and attention Ms. Jeanette gave our daughter and feel so lucky to have found her. There truly was no better place for our daughter during those early years. Thank you so much, Ms. Jeanette.

This was his first daycare experience, and Shusha took him in and treated him as her own. His language and social skills blossomed right away. He had always been a very picky eater, but he loved Ms Mariam's cooking, and was always trying new and unexpected foods for the first time. Shusha was so loving and even went out of her way to personally help feed him on the days he struggled. We have since moved, and our son is now five years old. We have since attended three other wonderful schools with our two boys, but none of them compare to Shusha's school. For a nervous mom sending her son to school for the first time, it felt as if we were sending him to a warm, loving relative's home to play for the day. We still see the amazing activities she plans on social media, and think fondly of our son's time there. We are so grateful to Shusha and her team to have had the perfect first school experience.

Previously we had a close family friend watching my son for a year, so it was a nerve wracking decision to put him in someone else's care for the first time, but Shusha and her caring staff made it so easy!!! I honestly can not say enough good things about this daycare! The home is clean, they give them healthy home cooked meals, they have fun activities and events around the holidays and most of all they are attentive and caring. He was so loved there (that to this day Shusha texts me to see how her boy is doing :)) Most of all, my son came home everyday happy! They also have an option for preschool aged children!

I cannot express enough gratitude for this incredible daycare and the teachers (Gaya, Marina,…read moreZhibek & Sona) who make it so special. From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we felt the warmth, kindness, and genuine care that fills this daycare/school every single day. As working parents, especially with our second child, it was so important to find a place where our daughter would not only be safe but truly loved and nurtured when we couldn't be with her. This daycare became exactly that for our family. They became an extended family. In the time she was here, we watched our little girl blossom right before our eyes. She learned her ABC's, her vocabulary exploded, and she began talking and expressing herself so much more. Even more special, she became social, confident, and excited to interact with other children. The teachers helped bring out a side of her that we will always be grateful for. They also helped guide her through potty training, which felt like such a huge milestone for us as parents. The patience, encouragement, and consistency they showed made all the difference. Leaving your child in someone else's care is never easy, but this is place that is truly filled with love and warmth and that gave us complete peace of mind. I dropped her off every morning with peace of mind, and heart. Our daughter didn't just attend daycare here--she was nurtured, encouraged, and truly cared for (I used to joke that she came back from daycare cleaner than she was when I dropped her off ;) We are forever grateful to the teachers for helping shape these early years of her life. I truly cannot fully express the respect and appreciation our family has for this wonderful daycare. We are forever indebted.

The teachers are dedicated professionals who go above and beyond to ensure that each child is given the attention and guidance they need to excel academically. The curriculum is robust, challenging, and engaging, fostering a love of learning in students. The school also places a strong emphasis on holistic development, encouraging students to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. This has greatly helped my child in developing leadership skills and discovering new interests. The school's commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment is commendable. The administration is responsive and takes parents' concerns seriously, which is reassuring. Overall, I believe this school has played a pivotal role in shaping my child's knowledge, skills, and character. I highly recommend it to any parent seeking a well-rounded education for their child. By far the best decision my husband and I made.

I'd just recommend a little more trainings on child development issues for the teachers and staff that could help them further with understanding children's behavior and emotional functioning but otherwise the teachers are professional and adequate with their teaching skills.

Since she doesn't start TK until fall of 2027, EPCC is the perfect in between place. Their program is scheduled more like an elementary school while still being flexible enough to allow the children room to be their age. All the teachers and staff are so lovely and knowledgeable. My daughter loves going every day and can't wait to go back the next! I also feel extremely safe with their security system and how often they let me know what's going on. Not to mention all the fun activities, shows, and events. It's a wonderful place and so much fun. I have no doubts my daughter will be 100% ready for elementary school when the time comes!

We could not have found a better school!!!! EPCC is incredible and offers a really kind, wonderfully supportive school for the kiddos. I think what makes this school stand out is their kindergarten program which I cannot stress enough is THE BEST kinder. My daughter came out of it comfortable with spelling tests, reading short books, and a general confidence in taking risks and chances in math and spelling. The kids are pushed and expected to be challenged. They end up rising to the challenge and leave kinder with such a wealth of information. BEWARE though that once you leave this kindergarten you will constantly be comparing how much your child learned in kinder to where they go next! lol They will be WELL prepared for first grade and truly leave with such a strong foundation feeling so capable. Shout out to Ms. Lori, Ms. Danielle, Ms. Kim, and all the teachers that make this place INCREDIBLE.

She always came home clean, fed, and happy, and there were never any injuries or health concerns. I couldn't believe how they had my daughter wearing a hat outside and sleeping in a crib--this helped a lot to create good habits at home, too. The daycare is immaculate, and all the toys are in excellent condition. I'm picky about what my daughter eats, and their menu is great--very healthy. I also love that I never had to worry about sending food with her. Most importantly, the teachers are caring and warm. My daughter LOVED them. They have a system where parents aren't really allowed in the main daycare area except on rare occasions. At first I was skeptical about this, but having experienced it the other way at her new daycare, I think it's actually wise. After a short-lived adjustment period (my daughter's pretty social, so this was only 3 days in her case), she basically never cried again. I would carry her to the front gate, and she would all but LEAP into her teacher's arms, so excited to go play inside. I think it helped that the precedent was clear: if you want to go play with your friends, teachers, and toys inside, you have to say bye to your parents. She often didn't even want to leave school when I came to pick her up; she wanted to stay and watch all the other kids get picked up by their parents. And if she saw her teacher walking home, she would beg me to go over so she could interact with her some more. Anyway, we loved Busy Little Bee, and I'm sure you will, too.

Miss Hayley, Miss Evelyn, and Miss Me'ami are three of the most loving, caring, and energetic people I've ever met. My three year old is having the best time learning how to make new friends, express himself, and grow in ways I've never imagined. His confidence and language skills have gone through the roof this year. He comes home from school with the biggest smiles (which alone would be enough!) but also shares with me everything he's learning from how to cut fruit, to weather patterns, and even who invented the potato chip (spoiler alert: it was George Crum). My fridge is full of artwork that he proudly presents to anyone willing to listen, and for that I am thankful. Thank you to Sage Academy for creating a safe and affordable space for our children to grow up strong, confident, and healthy.

Dali is warm, loving, highly experienced, and cares deeply about children and their families. I felt so comfortable leaving our baby with Dali each morning and when we requested photos or updates on how she was doing Dali would promptly text us. It is difficult to find high quality childcare and I was very impressed with the calm and family like atmosphere Dali has cultivated. She keeps the environment and materials exceptionally clean.

She and her staff were like extended family to my girls; it takes a village and trust me you want her and her team as part of your village. My oldest started at 18 months old and my youngest at 5 months old. My girls both adore her and have benefitted immensely from being under her care. Both of them always looked forward to going there every morning. She even helped with potty training which, as you parents know, is a challenge! She was patient with accidents, reassuring us when we got understandably frustrated, and was an immense help in that department. When my oldest started, it was during the pandemic and she had been out of a day care setting for months while everything was locked down, so needless to say she was somewhat difficult since we couldn't really socialize much with social distancing in place. Dali was patient, caring, and understanding with her and helped my little girl adjust to socializing with other children and learning boundaries and discipline in a respectful way. Once she adjusted, she thrived under her care. Prior to starting TK, she knew her letters and numbers and even writing her own name! I was always kept up-to-date on her progress and growth, alerted to any concerns regarding behavior and/or illness, and provided with advice and/or reassurance when facing developmental challenges (at the time, as a first time parent, this meant the world to me). She did this with both of my girls and gave me such great peace of mind when they were under her care. Both my girls were there at the same time at one point when they were too young to start school and she handled them wonderfully. Socializing with new friends, eating nutritious foods, waterplay days during summertime, playtime with fun toys, arts and crafts, games and story time, Dali's day care has it all in a spacious and cozy home that feels like a second home for your kiddos. Like I said, I HIGHLY recommend her day care! :)
