Kids Ave is special!…read more Our son went to Kids Ave from 18mo-4y (when he started TK). Dropping your kid off at Kids Ave is like dropping your kid off with family. Kids Ave is truly a special place. All of the teachers are incredible with the kids. Each kid is nurtured in a personalized manner. The classrooms are beautiful and Kids Ave is always so clean and beautifully decorated. The teachers put in so much effort to each student, to the crafts/projects/learning, and to their classrooms. The outside space has room to run and an awesome sandbox! And, the kids are served great food every day (all of which is included)! Our son was SUPER prepared to start TK. He is confident and excited, plays well with others, follows instructions, can write his name, knows all of his letters/sounds, all thanks to Ms. Karla and the other teachers at Kids Ave. Also, while Kids Ave is a center but it's not a corporate center, which makes a difference. They have that personalized touch and are willing to work with each family. Elisa and Susu are doing a great job running Kids Ave...and loving on all the kids! Finally, we've loved Kids Ave from the start, but we didn't really have anything to compare it to. However, our daughter is currently at a different daycare center. And that center is just fine. She's cared for and safe and all that good stuff....but it's just NOT Kids Ave. We're excited for her to turn 18mo so that she too can go to Kids Ave too!

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.

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.

I found The Bilingual Montessori here on Yelp and now I consider it an extension of my home. Alexis is an amazing caretaker of all the children -- it is clear they adore her -- and she and her team instill fun and learning in every day. Dulce, Alexis' mom, is now an abuela to our little girl, who is talking up a storm thanks to all the stimulation she gets at school. Even better, the other families who send their kids to the school are just lovely - my child has so many favorite friends. One perk is that you can follow along on your child's day on Instagram, which is such a comfort when you are at work, missing your baby. Alexis is always quick to notify you if your child gets a boo-boo, isn't feeling well, or has some issue going on. I cannot say enough about this wonderful place. Look no further for a wonderful home away from home for your child!

I am extremely concerned about how a serious child safety issue was handled at this daycare. A…read moreteacher reportedly recorded concerning sexualized behavior involving my child because it raised enough concern to document. However, I was never informed that a report had been made, and when I approached the director about the situation, I was told she knew nothing about it. After speaking with the social worker investigating the matter, I learned that multiple phone calls and emails requesting information and access to the video had reportedly gone unanswered. According to the social worker, the response she eventually received was that my child no longer attended the daycare. As a parent, I find the lack of communication, transparency, and cooperation regarding a child welfare investigation deeply troubling. When concerns involving a child's safety arise, I expect honesty, accountability, and a willingness to work with the appropriate agencies. My experience left me feeling dismissed and concerned about how serious matters are handled at this facility.

Ms. Irma provides age appropriate structure for learning and exploratory play and the leaps and bounds our daughter makes under her care are immeasurable.

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. I can't recommend this place enough. If you've been searching for a perfect preschool, this is it!

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.

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.

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.
