My daughter says she likes how each day has a theme/topic that the kids learn about. On the way to school everyday she asks me to tell her what they will be talking about that day- the school sends that in an email every week.

She is nice, reliable, friendly, flexible, and more importantly you can tell she genuinely cares about the kids and their personalities. She knows their little quirks, teaches them basic life skills like sharing, being nice with others etc that are crucial for when they are older and need to go into school. She also likes to feed them healthy food and do fun seasonal activities with them such as Halloween, Easter etc. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare and would love to return again if the opportunity arises.

She is flexible and dependable, I could rely on her while my hours changed a lot at work. The smaller scale of home care is so nice especially when they're really little, she is great with babies and toddlers. We did not have many issues with separation anxiety haha, my daughter was always happy to go and play with her friends. It's also a nice location, there's a park nearby and beautiful paths to go walking when we pick her up, my daughter loves to look at all the birds and flowers. Can't recommend her enough!

Our twin boys…read morestarted at 1.5 years old (will be 4 this June), and from day one we've trusted her and her team completely. They truly have become like family to us. It gives us a peace of mind knowing our boys are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every single day. We've watched our boys grow into independent, loving, and smart kids, and we credit so much of that to the play-based learning and daily care they receive. The curriculum is thoughtfully adjusted by age, which we really appreciate, and the small child to teacher ratio makes such a difference. Plus, the kids eat so well! Everything is included and made fresh daily, which is a huge win and time saver for parents. Biana goes above and beyond in the best way. The daily projects (especially the holiday ones!) are adorable. She also puts on the cutest summer and winter concerts for all the kids and families, where the kids get to sing and perform. They're such a highlight and honestly just so fun to watch. The staff truly cares about the kids and it shows. They're loving, attentive, and so invested in each child. We also love the weekly music and gymnastic classes, and Biana always captures the best photos around the holidays and birthdays. She is always available if you have a question or need to communicate schedules. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Miles of Smiles and couldn't recommend it more!!

Time for an update! My second son has been attending Miles of Smiles since he was just 4 months…read moreold, and over a year later, the transition from infancy to toddlerhood under Biana's watchful eye has been nothing short of seamless. It is rare to find a childcare provider that feels like a true extension of your own family, but after years of being part of the Miles of Smiles community, I can say with absolute certainty that Biana and her team are in a league of their own. My younger son is thriving just as much as his older brother did. The team treats him with such genuine love and affection that any "drop-off guilt" I would have had is replaced by complete peace of mind. Environment: The facility remains meticulously clean. Despite the daily whirlwind of activities, the toys are sanitized, the floors are spotless, and the "daycare smell" simply doesn't exist here. Safety & Communication: Biana remains incredibly proactive. Whether it's an update on a minor "ouchie" or a clear plan for air quality and safety, her communication is thorough and immediate. Nutrition/Development: We continue to be amazed by the meal program. Just like his brother, my 18-month-old eats nutritious, homemade meals at Miles of Smiles that he would likely turn his nose up at at home. We are also impressed that he constantly demonstrates the fine motor skills and vocabulary Biana works so hard to cultivate. If you are a parent who is hesitant about daycare or worried about finding a place that meets your "particular" needs, Biana will put you at ease. Having sent two children here through different stages of their early development, I can testify that the level of care, hygiene, and genuine love at Miles of Smiles is unmatched. They aren't just childcare providers, they're our partners in raising happy, healthy, and confident children :)

The service at Golden Step is overpriced, and on top of that, the primary caregiver (nana) goes on long vacations, but you're still required to pay during her absence and have the kid with you..

You're also not allowed to see your child whenever you want, and there's no clear communication about who is taking care of your child when nana is away.

The timing of golden step is great for morning commute. Nana makes delicious food for kids too and she didn't charge extra for that. We are really grateful to have her in our kids' lives!

Pros: - I love how organized the school is. They use the ProCare app which was amazing. Check in/out was efficient, I was notified of SO much during the day. Several photos and updates (down to when her diaper was changed and how long her naps were). We were very spoiled. - Our daughter is a terrible eater, but Mrs. Shrada introduced her to new foods and if she wouldn't eat what others were eating she'd find a way to sneak in something she'd like to get food in her belly. - Super responsive and available via text or email - Payment was easy and tuition was fair. - Very safe. I love how in the ProCare app you can upload pictures of people authorized to pick up my daughter and also pictures of those not allowed to pick up. - Mrs. Shrada had so much love for my daughter. Treated her as her very own. Cons: - My daughter would sometimes get sent home with a cough. I completely understand her wanting to keep others healthy. Just tricky at times when working full time. I HIGHLY recommend LSCD. We'll most likely send baby #2 here.

Of all our experiences so far, Shrada's home daycare has been the best experience for our family. Our son previously got kicked out of a nanny share for being too difficult and having difficulty sleeping. We were concerned that he would also be too much for Shrada to handle (especially with 4-6 other kids), but she assured us that she could handle him and that the transition would be smooth. From day one he was napping and within a week he was excited to go back. He's now been attending for over a year and is excited every day to go back. Shrada's daycare is like a second home for him. With Little Sunflower Child Daycare you get the atmosphere of a small family daycare, but with all the benefits of a larger business due to their full use of the ProCare app. I don't know how she manages it, but we receive dozens of updates daily (meals, nap times, diaper changes, activities, photos, videos, etc.). Shrada's communication and responsiveness are unparalleled. It's so comforting and reassuring to always know exactly what our son is doing throughout the day and to know he's in good hands. On top of that she's always smiling and cheerful and consistently engages the children in educational activities. She also prepares healthy, delicious meals that all the kids enjoy. I highly recommend Little Sunflower Child Daycare for anyone who is looking for quality child care.

Before enrolling we found out he needed hearing aids and had a speech delay. The director and every single teacher made it such a priority to learn about and support his needs and to ease our worries. They have gone above and beyond ever since in countless ways. We warned them he would not sleep for a nap, which was our experience at a previous school. Every parent knows, your child is much happier and much kinder to you when they have napped and it's just healthier for them. They told us to not worry, and they would be there with him to comfort him to help him relax and sleep. Needless to say, they worked their magic and this boy finally naps at school!!!!. His entire mood and happiness has improved so much since attending here. Picking your child up at the end of the day and knowing they feel safe and loved and happy is the best thing! You will not find more patient, loving, and caring teachers anywhere else. I now recommend this place to everyone I talk to. They truly have been such a blessing. And the crazy thing is... They are so fairly priced!

Our baby now cries when it times to leave--not wanting to say goodbye to their friends. There is art, story time, tons of outdoor play, thematic months, etc. As an infant, there was also lots of floor play.

That said, if you can get a spot at Michelle's, you have won the jackpot. Finding quality childcare was significantly more difficult than I could have imagined when we started searching for my eldest. We tried both a facility setting and another in-home setting in Pleasant Hill before finding Michelle through a trusted friend. We knew instantly that she actually cared about our son and she went out of her way to meet him where he was and help him feel confident and comfortable in her care. Fast forward to today, our family has been with Michelle for 4+ years and she is one of the few people I would have trusted with our second baby when he was an infant and I had to go back to work. I never worried a single day knowing my kids were in her care. Kids Kastle has been our village for many years, all of the teachers are sweet, truly enjoy children, and work hard to keep things FUN. They are very knowledgeable and stay current on licensing standards and go above and beyond the guidelines. As a busy mom, I have appreciated that they were consistently on-time and extremely reliable over the years. I didn't ever have to worry about good quality meals, diapers, or other supplies. The kids always came home covered in paint (meaning they had a blast and played outside a lot!), well fed, with handfuls of projects, and they were both well prepared academically and socially for TK and Kindergarten. Michelle leads with high emotional intelligence, decades of experience in early childhood and unwavering empathy and partnership for all of the ups and downs of raising little ones. She has maintained relationships with families that she cared for many moons ago and I've witnessed those same long-term, multi-sibling relationships blossom with other families we've known during our time there too. Michelle has become more like a bonus family member for our kids (and us) and my older son still RUNS to give her hugs at every chance he gets even though he is in elementary school now. Thank you Michelle for everything you and your entire team have given our family. Our experience at Kids Kastle was so far beyond anything we could have hoped for.
