And has the perfect balance of learning and playing outside. She also teaches the kids to problems solve and resolve things amongst themselves, which I love. My son was under her care for a year and a half and he learned so much! He is in kindergarten now and I feel like everything he learned the first 6 months of kindergarten, he already learned with Miss June. Miss June also cooks breakfast & lunch for the kids which is a huge plus! Miss June is an amazing teacher & very patient. You will be happy your child went here.

Smart Start Daycare and Preschool has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the moment we…read morewalked through the doors, we knew this was more than just a daycare--it's a deeply nurturing, thoughtful, and safe environment where children are truly seen, heard, and loved!!!! Ms. June and her incredible team of teachers are nothing short of amazing. They are caring, attentive, compassionate, and deeply committed to each child's well-being and development. You can feel the love and dedication in everything they do. They genuinely pour their hearts, energy, and expertise into every aspect of the program. One of the things that sets SmartStart apart is their commitment to providing home-cooked nutritious meals for the children. Every day, breakfast, lunch, and snacks are freshly prepared with care which is something that's rare and so appreciated in today's fast-paced world. What's even more impressive is their focus on their emotional intelligence starting as early as age 2. Ms. June and her team guide the children through understanding their feelings, learning empathy, and building the foundation for respectful, inclusive interactions. It's a beautiful way to raise emotionally aware and kind future adults, and it shows in the way the children treat each other. They also keep parents incredibly connected and informed through an app, where they share regular updates and photos throughout the day. It's such a joy to see the children engaged in creative projects, hands-on lessons, and meaningful play. Most importantly, Smart Start is a place you can completely trust. The safety and well-being of the children is clearly the top priority, and the environment is both warm and secure. As a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your child is in such capable and loving hands!!!! You can truly see the blood, sweat, and tears that go into making Smart Start the wonderful place it is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Our child attended Pinole Montessori for 1.5 years, and overall, we had a great experience. The…read moreschool is clean, and Mrs. Angela was always welcoming and kind. Our child consistently expressed feeling loved and well cared for, which was reassuring as parents. The staff is caring and attentive, though there were times when it felt like they could benefit from additional support to ensure every child gets the individual attention they need. We also feel there could be a bit more focus on enhancing the learning side of things, to further develop the children's educational growth. Despite these minor points, Pinole Montessori stands out for its balance of care, affordability, and convenient hours. It's a nurturing and warm environment where our child thrived, and we're grateful for the experience. For families in the area, Pinole Montessori is a solid choice with caring staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

Ms. Sidhu is phenomenal and potty trained both of my children when they barely turned 2! All of the teachers are kind, professional and very hard working.

Also, since lunch is provided, it's less stress the mornings for me! The staff treat you like family, and really get to know your child individually. The Director, Ms. Angela is wonderful and very prompt in her responses to any concerns. We love Pinole Montessori!

From the beginning, we were nervous about choosing the right daycare/preschool, especially knowing…read moreour son had a few areas where he needed extra support, but we truly couldn't have made a better choice. He joined LDCA nearly two months ago, just before turning 21 months old, and the growth we've seen in him has been incredible. He's gone from being hesitant to leave his chair to becoming excited, engaged, and genuinely happy at every drop-off and pick-up. The patience, professionalism, and heartfelt care that Shayvon and the other teachers show every single day have made a profound impact on both our son's development and our family as a whole. They've eased every worry we carried as first-time parents and then some. There is truly no other place we could trust to care for him the way they do. They consistently go above and beyond to create a warm, supportive community, and we are so proud and deeply grateful to be part of the LDCA family!

LDCA is a fantastic daycare/preschool. Shayvon and her teachers treat the kids like their own- with…read morelove and kindness. As a new mom, it was very important to me to find a preschool that had teachers who would treat my son with integrity and compassion, have a blend of play and structured learning, and welcome a diverse group of kids. LDCA checks all those boxes and more. From the very first introductory call, I immediately knew Shayvon and LDCA was the right fit. She made us feel comfortable about the transition and we knew that I could trust her with her care. The first week, Shayvon sent us frequent updates and reassured us that everything would be ok. She is very communicative and is always available to answer questions. After a few weeks, my son was excited to go to school and drop offs became a breeze. LDCA offers a variety of learning, play, and explorative opportunities, such as music, dance, art, and sports. THe kids also learn how to draw, identify letters, shapes, and numbers, and so much more! Shayvon makes it feel like a family- celebrating birthdays, holidays, and getting families together for events like trunk-or-treat for Halloween. I am so happy with our decision to enroll our son here. I truly cannot recommend LDCA enough.

Our experience with Little Stepping Stones Preschool has been nothing short of amazing. My son has…read morebeen attending since he was just 7 months old, and as any parent knows, leaving your baby at that age is incredibly emotional. From day one, Micheala made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. Micheala is patient, nurturing, and truly treats each child like family. She took the time to understand my son's personality, his routines, and his needs when he was still a baby, and she has continued to support his growth every step of the way. Watching him grow from an infant into a confident, curious little learner in her care has been such a blessing. The environment she creates is always clean, organized, and full of engaging, age-appropriate activities. I love that she focuses not just on play, but also on early learning, social skills, and building independence. My son has learned so much -- from communicating better to interacting kindly with other children -- and I truly believe Micheala has played a huge role in his development. Most importantly, my son is happy there. He walks in with a smile and comes home excited to tell me about his day. That peace of mind is priceless as a parent. I'm beyond grateful for the love, attention, and dedication Micheala shows every single day. I highly recommend Little Stepping Stones Preschool to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and enriching environment for their child.

Flores Academy provides a welcoming and safe space for our child to learn through a variety of ways in both English and in Spanish. Each month has a theme with updated curriculum every week. Not only do we hear from the teachers about what they are instructing the class on, but our daughter comes home excited to show us her art project(s) or dance/exercise/stretch moves. The team is great with updates and answering any questions. They provide meals for the children and even support the potty training process. Our family is very thankful for their support and happy we found them!

Thanks to her care, my daughter adjusted smoothly and even met her best friend there, who is now in the same TK class with her! My younger daughter is currently enrolled and started when she was about 10 months old. She'll be turning 2 in April, and it amazes us how much she learns and grows every day. She comes home showing us new things, has so much fun, loves her teachers, and genuinely gets excited when we're on our way to school. Karen does an amazing job with communication. She sends out a monthly newsletter and curriculum at the beginning of each month, and we always know what the kids are learning and working on. The consistency, care, and attention they provide truly make this place special. We're so grateful to have found a daycare where our children feel happy, safe, and loved.

My son has been attending Busy Beez for a little over two years now (since he was 5 months) and now…read morethey also care for my little girl (almost 6 months old). We could not be happier with Ms. Emilie and Busy Beez. Our son has thrived in the environment she creates for all the children. Not only does she create a curriculum that keeps the children engaged, but she also works with you and your child in addressing behavioral issues your child may (will) experience throughout their journey in becoming their own little person developing their own ideas and opinions. She is also amazing with my little girl. She has created a safe area for her to explore, as well as, watch and learn from all the bigger kids. It means the world to me that when my little girl sees Ms. Emilie in the morning that she just gets the biggest smile. I am so happy that my little girl gets the same learning experience as my son did/is and in such an amazing and nurturing environment. I would highly recommend Busy Beez to any parent looking to place their child with a provider that they can emphatically trust and a provider that will maintain an open and transparent dialogue with you. A trusting child care facility can be hard to find these days and we are so happy to have found it in Busy Beez!!

If I could give 100 stars I would! I second what all the reviews here say about this place. Amazing…read moredoesn't even begin to explain Cecy and the team at Tiny Footprints. My child attended from 18 months to 4 years old. I was incredibly apprehensive about starting due to separation anxiety, but they made him feel completely comfortable from day one.In addition to sending daily pictures and providing excellent communication, they truly support your child's growth. My kid is high energy and super active. Cecy met his energy with her own high energy--I truly don't know how she does it all! The learning program is fantastic. She met him exactly where he was at and used interactive games to teach. He was fully ready for TK when he left. They also do weekly library and park trips, plus walking trips to see the neighborhood.What makes Tiny Footprints truly special is the family atmosphere. All the kids become part of Cecy's family. The group of families is so tight-knit that they do playdates and movie nights on their own outside of school and "alumni" visit long after attending. Cecy also offers movie nights for the kids, after-hours care for date nights, and she even kept my son when I had a week-long work trip. We just moved away from the Bay Area last week, and leaving TF was so incredibly hard. We miss them so much already! If you want a safe, loving environment where your child will truly thrive, this is the place!
