Let's start with the lady in the front "kaity" she is so rude and acts like she owns the place because her husband is a Police officer. The girls inside who "take" care of the kids let's them cry, fight with each other and whatever the kids want. One of the staff would not allow my child to eat her food but allowed some of her "favorite kids" to eat whatever they brought from home. Mrs. chambers the director will not help your child. I brought up to her attention that the teacher would treat my child differently and she replied with " we are friends with that kids parents". So I guess if you aren't cool with the staff or friends with them, they won't assist your child. Make sure to always look at your statements, they always overcharge you extra fees.

I rarely leave reviews, but families deserve transparency. My family has been with this center for…read moreover three years, and the decline has been noticeable especially following recent corporate changes and inconsistency at that level. This facility markets itself as a "learning center", but it is increasingly operating like a daycare without the consistency and structure you would expect for the cost. Ongoing staffing shortages have created unreliable care, including last minute capacity limits that result in families being turned away. The core issue appears to be how staff are treated and to be clear, this is not a reflection of the on site team, but a corporate level problem. Teachers seem overworked, under supported, and underpaid, which creates an unsustainable environment. This not only impacts the children, but also leads to high staff turnover and a lack of consistency in care. Families are paying premium rates, but the investment in staffing does not reflect that. Until there are meaningful changes at the corporate level to support and retain qualified teachers, I cannot recommend this center.

Reflecting on the six years my child spent at Childtime, I can honestly say we look back on the…read moreexperience with immense satisfaction. Now that we are nearly a year removed from the program, the positive impact on my child's development is even more apparent. The hallmark of our experience was the relationship with the administration. While there were naturally moments over the years where I had concerns or disagreed with a specific situation, I never once felt unheard. The leadership team always prioritized sitting down with me to listen and address my feedback. Even when the solutions weren't exactly what I had envisioned, the transparency and respect they showed ensured that my perspective was always valued. Watching my child flourish in the environment they've cultivated was a joy. My only constructive critique would be the lunch program; while relying on the provided options was occasionally a challenge, and my child sometimes came home hungry. However, the staff was always attentive to this--they provided appealing snacks and allowed as many helpings as needed to ensure no child was left wanting. I would have prefered to be able to provide a home made lunch that respected the no-peanut policy. I am grateful for the care, the communication, and the community Childtime provided our family for over half a decade.

I researched a handful of preschools in Modesto to enroll my 4 year old. I wanted structure and some curriculum taught and not just a full day of playtime. What I liked most about Magnolia was is wasn't on a main road with fast traffic, the play yard was on the backside of the school and they had a structured day. My daughter was over the moon excited to start school so I was happy they had room for us to enroll. I decided on 3 days a week so she wasn't overwhelmed but after her first week things changed quickly. She was anxious to go to school, she would throw full tantrums in the morning to get ready, she was regressing on her potty training and having multiple accidents at school. Complete opposite of her normal behavior. At first, I expected this, it's a new routine, there's a period of adjustment and many kids experience it. By the end of week 3, I was having serious mom guilt. She had completely broke down one morning when we pulled into the parking lot. It was like sheer fear had overcome her and she begged me not to leave her and to take her home. I spoke with her teachers and the Director and although they said she was doing fine, I wasn't convinced. The Director of the preschool is quite young and I tried not let that cloud my judgement of her ability to run the school, however it was what she said when I brought up my daughter's behavior that made me realize this was not going to work... I expressed to her my concerns and that my daughter would say the kids were mean. She said that she had not witnessed any mean treatment but does encourage the kids to tell the teachers if that comes up. She then went on to say that many of the kids there had been enrolled for a while and had become friends and tend to have their little cliques. Cliques at 3 and 4 years old?? No. This did not sit well with me and I was surprised that she not only knew of this behavior among the kids but that it was accepted and no one was trying to encourage these kids to play together and make friends with everyone. I'll say it again, 3 and 4 years old! Needless to say, I pulled my daughter out that day and we didn't return. That is not the kind of community or culture I want my daughter in. We do not do "Mean Girls" at 4 years old and I'm not raising my daughter to dismiss new people, or encourage her to make anyone feel out of place and preschool was the last place I expected her to experience that.

She really spends time and gets every child ready and prepared for Kinder. Just like his sister, he has never disliked going to school. Because all learning is done through play, he enjoys all the projects and schoolwork. Hes proud to show us everything he does. She still maintains an open door policy for all guardians. She has never made myself, husband or my in laws feel unwelcome for coming for a visit or attending one of the many holiday parties. Just like with his sister, she helped, encouraged and supported us through potty training. They never leave the little ones in soiled diapers or clothing. If parents forget to bring a change of clothing she always has spares on hand to help in a pinch. Ms Billda has still maintained an affordable status for parents looking for early education for their little ones. When it was time for my son to start preschool I knew I didnt need to look anywhere else! It was a no brainer. You get more bang for your buck at Academics Plus. Im done having kids but I will always advocate for small businesses that care about those in the community. I hope Ms. Billda continues to thrive in all business aspects.

To be a sacred heart preschool family is to know love and to know community. I have a child with a rare speech disorder, it was Terrifying trying to decide where to place him for preschool when he can't communicate to me effectively. He has THRIVED at SHPS. The staff has gone above and beyond to learn how he communicates and even acknowledges him when we see them out and about in the community or at church. He practically unbuckles himself to get out of the car to go to school. My daughter will be starting in the fall. The staff is so kind and caring, this isn't the kind of place that's going to let your child "cry it out" all day. The facility is well maintained, safe and the cost to attend is very reasonable. My child is so happy here and has made leaps and bounds in terms of development. As far as these negative reviews they are clearly vindictive and based on the similar writing styles between the two negative ones they are from the same bitter person. I don't take time to write reviews often but I felt the need to share how wonderful this place has been for our family.

It's absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend Methodist Tiny Tots to anyone looking for a preschool.

I was extremely nervous at first…read morebecause I hardly let ANYONE watch them and if I do it's at MY house (where we have cameras inside cause I'm crazy protective). This school was placed closed to where I worked and also close to other family in case of emergency which made me wiling to give it a shot. 3 years later, I don't work there anymore however my child still attended for another year even though we moved on the complete opposite side of town because she loved this school so much. I'm so happy I let them take my children for their first few years because they are way OVER prepared for school now. My oldest in first grade now is extremely intelligent and further along than majority of her classmates. She excels at just about everything, and it's the school that did this, not me. I decided to keep her there instead of going to TK so that she could be with her sister one more year and go straight to kindergarten and I'm happy I did. So she skipped TK but was still at the top of her kindergarten class because of this place. My youngest whom just started TK today was again BEYOND prepared and so excited for class. There were SEVERAL students crying, kicking, trying to run out and screaming in the TK classroom at her new school because they were not ever introduced to this type of environment possibly. My daughter walked in confidently, found her name and was able to hang her stuff up by herself and sit down. She even said "I love it here" meanwhile kids were having the worst day of their life. If it weren't for this preschool I know we would have been one of those struggling parents and children as well. If I had not had my older child already in first grade I would have opted to keep my youngest at this preschool instead of TK because of how great my child was doing and how much she loved it. Both children have moved on as of this year now however they wouldn't be as well prepared as they were if it weren't for this awesome school! Sometimes my oldest still tells me things like "I miss the tacos from preschool".... Apparently they make good food for lunch too for the kids and I can't replicate it it's been 2 years come on, my tacos are good too. They also utilize an app that lets you communicate with teachers and they post pictures from their days or fun activities which is such a nice thing to get notified to in the middle of work. Will recommend this school always moving forward!!! They also have the cutest graduations at the end of the year for the oldest kids moving on.

So just a personal preference and insecurity on my end. Definitely recommend this place to EVERYBODY.
