My two sons went to Play Learn Grow Daycare while we were living in San Diego. Due to moving quite…read morefrequently in the past few years I've experienced a lot of different daycares and none gave me the sense of comfort that I had leaving my kids with Jeanet and Kimy. I really wish there were more people in the world like them!! They were so nice, patient, and calm and that passed down to the kids. All the children at the daycare were so pleasant with one another and played well together while developing their learning and social skills. Most of us parents would stand around waiting for our kids to be ready to leave because they were having such a good time there. Trusting your daycare provider is really the best thing you can ask for. Thank you for everything!

We came to this daycare after a real struggle to "make it work" somewhere else. For two months it…read morewas square peg, round hole and an immense amount of distress. When we found Jeanet it took us five minutes of discussion after the tour to walk right back in and reserve our spot. Jeanet and her family were warm and welcoming while professional and immensely knowledgeable. My husband and I felt, and continue to feel, completely comfortable and at ease in all of our interactions. It is also evident that our daughter is THRIVING since this transition and it is such a profound relief to feel so secure and confident in the care she is receiving so we can be present while at work. Super Special Bonus Features: *The children's space is so well arranged, clean, and visually appealing. I appreciate the attention to detail and ultimately feel Jeanet operates on my wavelength. The outdoor space is absolutely ideal and I love the varied options of activities for children to pursue. * Jeanet uses an app called LearningGenie which alleviates so many communication gaps I've run into in other settings. I can easily check diapering, meals, and nap times while also accessing candid photos of my child's day. Makes planning for smooth evenings much easier and highlights potential issues (like a lack of poop) that otherwise get lost in the shuffle. * Jeanet and her husband are very open to feedback and suggestion. We are really hoping to find community and long term child care; our ideas to cultivate this as PLG expands were met with enthusiasm * Dietary considerations have been easily accommodated . * There was a Mother's Day tea and gifts for the moms, as well as adorable and sweet art projects on Father's Day. So thoughtful. * Open door policy that is actually open. * Inclusion! After attending my daughter's birthday we were invited to Jeanet's daughter's birthday where I was able to meet much of the extended family. It was really nice, in so many ways. We feel very blessed to have found Play Learn Grow! I hope anyone who read this far also finds child care that they feel GREAT about! Modern parenthood is tough, but the right team makes it easier.

Ms. Irma has been such a blessing for our family! We transitioned our child to Ms. Irma's care…read moreafter a poor experience with another provider. Being that it was our child's first time at daycare, we were extremely reassured by Ms. Irma's professionalism and caring nature. Her attention and consideration for the children's safety was also something that stood out to us when we first decided to enroll. It took only one week with Ms. Irma for our daughter to feel comfortable and excited about school! Ms. Irma's home is truly a happy place where kids learn, play, do crafts and even explore her garden! Ms. Irma provides age appropriate structure for learning and exploratory play and the leaps and bounds our daughter makes under her care are immeasurable. Every day the kids come home with a craft and Ms. Irma loves to share happy moments with us parents by sending photos. She is a dedicated, loving provider and it shows every day. We are so grateful to Ms. Irma for having such a positive impact on our daughter. Thank you for all that you do, Ms. Irma!

Sagebrush's Director, Ms. Porter, is a truly collaborative, authentic partner to families. Her deep understanding of children allows her to meet each individual child where they are, and she does so with empathy, positivity, and expertise. Ms. Porter acknowledges what parents know about their child, asks insightful questions, and brings together a caring, solution-oriented team. Everyone rallied to support my child's separation anxiety and proactively developed a responsive, flexible plan. And, just as importantly, Ms. Porter is fun, joyful, and absolutely adored by my child! It felt like magic walking around campus and hearing teachers and students from other classrooms exclaim my child's name, even during the first week of school! Being welcomed in such a thoughtful and intentional way was a reflection of how Sagebrush builds community and belonging.

It's clear that the teachers genuinely love what they do and deeply care about the children. I love the excitement my daughter feels when she goes to school each day and the joy she shows when she talks about everything she's learned and experienced. She has truly blossomed socially and emotionally at Sagebrush Children's Center. The learning experiences and engaging activities they provide have also supported her development and readiness for kindergarten. We are hopeful that our youngest will have the opportunity to attend Sagebrush as well. Our experience there has been nothing short of wonderful.

Just updating my review after almost 1.5 years at AOP. We are obsessed with this place. Our toddler…read moreis engaged and learning so much here! Just a few things she definitely didn't learn from us: -"agua," "buh bye," "night night" -"all done" with sign language too -the sign for "milk" She also gets so much exercise and outdoor time on the play area and has learned how to climb up and push herself down the slide. We love that the app keeps us updated with photos and other events throughout the day (all food, diapers, naps). The staff also keep us updated if there are any sicknesses going around or if the group is going through anything challenging (like the biting phase!) and what they are doing to address it. Now that our baby is eating solids we love the convenience of all of her meals and milk being provided (included in the cost!). The meals are well-rounded and it's so cute that they all eat together at a table! I think it encourages my baby to eat more when she sees her friends doing so. We also love that they keep the cohort together and how the teachers move along with the kids from room to room as they grow. I am not sure if this will continue into preschool, but just having Miss Mariela from the infant to toddler phase has been a true blessing for us. I can't tell you how many times I have showed my mom friends the app or told them about the things AOP offers and they say "wow my daycare doesn't do all that!" It takes a village to raise kids these days. The first part is finding that village, and the second is finding one to love your baby like family. We have found that in AOP. They truly care about your child like their own

The Nest Montessori, led by the incredible Ms. Sam, has been nothing short of a blessing for our…read morefamily. My son has grown and developed here beyond anything I could have ever imagined. The love, care, and compassion from Ms. Sam and the entire team are so genuine - it's clear how deeply they care about each and every child. The teachers are kind, patient, and truly invested in the kid's growth, both academically, and emotionally. My don always loved to tell me what Ms. Natalia has taught him today. Thanks to the Nest, my son is not only prepared for elementary school- he's confident, curious, and eager to learn. He knows all the planets in the solar system, all the letters of the alphabet, how to spell his name, and while every child is different, The Nest played a major factor in my son learning how to read! On top of the academics, my son also repeats his daily affirmations, building confidence and emotional intelligence- which I am in awe over. I'm so grateful for the foundation they've given him. This school has shaped him in the best possible way. I can't recommend it enough!

The teachers are incredibly loving and thoughtful. I especially love the fact that they celebrate birthdays and holidays and create opportunities for parents to get to know each other, too. My child has grown by leaps and bounds, and his interactions with the other children are fun to see. The fact that meals are provided (bfast, lunch and snacks) is a godsend. Several daycares/preschools in the region claim to be Spanish immersion but aren't actually (e.g., they speak English to the kiddos). At Lulus, I feel like we get a truly authentic Spanish immersion program for our son, knowing instruction is exclusively in Spanish. And it shows. My son 100% understands Spanish when it is spoken to him and he mixes Spanish and English in his vocabulary regularly. I credit Lulus for a large part of that bilingual ability and look forward to seeing his fluency improve in the years to come. Highly recommend Lulus!!

Their approach to early childhood development is so balanced -- the perfect mix of structure, play, arts & crafts, language, yoga, exploration, and gentle guidance. We especially love how much time the students spend outside, learning through nature, movement, and hands-on experiences. The emphasis on community and culture is woven into everything they do, helping toddlers grow into thoughtful, curious, compassionate little humans. The price is extremely reasonable and the care is second to none. We couldn't be happier with Healthy Toddlers. It's a truly special place. You will not regret making this community part of your family, too!

After being rejected by many, Lara from College Ave welcomed us with open arms, open hearts, and open minds. My daughter was able to attend this incredible preschool AND stay safe and well managed. The teachers and staff went above and beyond to ensure her safety and include her in all activities regardless of her disease. She was also fully prepped for UTK and Kinder- the preschool offers the perfect balance of play and structured learning. She was reading some site words and sounding out all her letters by age 4. The director knows each child BY NAME and greets everyone as you walk in. The campus is secured with a coded gate and the children are wonderfully cared for. And to top it all off- it's AFFORDABLE.
