I am a mom of four and needed a place for my littlest when our long-time daycare provider retired…read more We only needed care for a few months before she started school, so I wanted somewhere my daughter would feel comfortable right away. She had been with our other daycare provider since she was 6 months old, and I was a little worried about the change--but Miss GG was so kind and welcoming that my little girl felt right at home from the start. She does so many crafts, learning activities, and fun projects with the kids. One of my favorites was a Mother's Day gift--my daughter's little hands pressed into real flowers, beautifully framed in glass. I will treasure it forever. She also included her in the group the was going to start TK/school and their little graduation celebration. At the time, my kindergartener was also able to attend part-day, which was so special because my two littles could be together, just like at our previous daycare. Miss GG was always accommodating to our needs and made us feel part of her daycare family in such a short amount of time. Before finding Miss GG, I toured six or more other daycares, but my "mama gut" knew right away this was the right place. She communicates well with parents, is both personable and professional, and truly cares for the children. We are so thankful we found her and would absolutely recommend Miss GG's to any parent looking for a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment for their little ones.

EDIT to reply: *Thank you for confirming much of what I…read moredescribed in my original review. To clarify, our concern was never your safe sleep policies or licensing regulations. Our concern was the expectation that a 7-month-old consistently adapt to a lengthy group nap schedule and remain quiet for nearly an entire two-hour rest period when he naturally woke after shorter sleep cycles. As parents, we made extensive efforts to support your classroom environment and implemented every strategy suggested to us. We adjusted his home schedule, feeding routines, sleep routines, and methods of falling asleep specifically to create consistency with daycare and make things easier for staff. Despite that, it continually felt as though normal infant behavior was being treated as a behavioral problem rather than a developmental stage. I also find it interesting that while stating you value privacy, your response still publicly references alleged gastrointestinal discomfort, feeding concerns, and discussions about our home routines. That only reinforces why I intentionally kept my original review general. I completely understand that group care may not be the right fit for every infant at every stage. My review was simply intended to help other parents understand that this program may not work best for babies.* I'm really disappointed to be writing this, but I feel parents of babies under 2 should be aware of our experience. As a prior daycare/childcare professional and a parent, I would not recommend this center for babies who don't comply with strict schedules. We enrolled our infant son here because initially we liked the environment. Unfortunately, we ran into ongoing concerns about how sleep was being handled, which ultimately led to us pulling him out. Our son has consistently taken short naps (around 30-45 minutes) since birth, which is developmentally normal for many infants. However, staff began sending him home early if he did not nap for at least an hour. This "one-hour nap" expectation appeared to be a requirement they set themselves, rather than something based on his individual needs. They did come out with various "sleep plans" but it felt like the goal post was always moving and they were never satisfied with the progress he made. It also became clear that a major concern from staff was that our 7 month old was not able to follow or adhere to "quiet time." This was confusing and concerning, as infants at this age are not developmentally capable of understanding or consistently following that type of expectation. At one point, staff described him as "disruptive," which was honestly shocking to hear about a baby. That raised red flags for us about expectations being placed on infants and how their needs are being interpreted. I also want to note that in reading other Yelp reviews, I saw responses from the business that appeared to include detailed context about individual situations, which I do not find appropriate. Because of that, I'm choosing to keep some details general here, as I'm not comfortable having personal information about my child and do not want a response. We understand that caring for multiple infants is challenging, but labeling a baby as disruptive, combined with rigid and unrealistic sleep expectations, made this feel like the wrong environment for our family.

We were so worried about our daughter's delayed speech and had no idea what to do. Miss Jen took time to evaluate her and never negatively commented or judged on her delay but gave us measurables we could work on from home along with her sessions. Our daughter went for 8 months and finally hit a language burst towards the end. She went from taking our hands and leading us when she wanted something to putting sentences together. She is still working on her expressive communication but she is leaps and bounds ahead of where she was. Just before she turned 3 she finally started calling me "mommy." We're very thankful for the personalized attention we received during a scary time. Thank you Miss Jen.

My Daughter grew up in the Daniel's Family Child Care. She started at 2 years of age and attended…read morethrough Kindergarten. As a parent I could not find a more family oriented, safe and educational child care environment in Moreno Valley, CA. They taught, admonished and nurtured my child daily. I watched as every child was treated fairly and equally and that left me feeling comforted and secure during my work day. They cared for my child as if she were their own. Not only does Mrs. Nikki provide educational studies during the day but she also cultivates the children's interest in insects and gardening. My daughter loved going there everyday and everyday she wanted to stay longer. Today, she has had the opportunity to have gone to different types of schools and after school programs but none of which she has described to me like The Daniel's Family Child Care. At 8 yrs of age she still remembers the Daniel's Family daycare which she describes to me as "loving, friendly with good snacks" she says mommy "that's where I learned to be polite with my pinky on top." I Highly Recommend The Daniel's Family Child Care.

Don't Bother... Try Somewhere Else! I called this business…read moretoward the end of July looking for childcare. I called the number listed. But I assumed it's someone's private cellphone number, as the message greeting said nothing about Beezy Beez Childcare. I left a brief message and I'm still waiting on a call back months later. This "business" never acknowledged or responded to my phone call & obviously never called me back. I think this worked out for the best. I wouldn't feel right leaving my child at some half-assed, unprofessional daycare that won't even return phone calls.

When my niece was young And having a bad day Mrs. Monnick would pick her up and comfort her as her own. They have always gone out of their way to help the kids and assist us with any issues with the kids. My niece and nephew have some issues requiring counseling therapy. Mrs. Monnick worked with us way beyond what any day care would do. We have alway and still do feel completely safe leaving our kids in her care. Beezy Beez has been fantastic in helping us get our nephew to school and sometimes back home. Again the help we received was far beyond anything I could expect from Day care. I highly recommend Beezy Beez day care as a safe and secure place to leave your kids.

Like a Second family We started at Symonette Family Daycare…read morewhen our son was 2 months old. They were very accommodating to our dietary needs and concerns. Our baby was difficult to feed from the beginning and they listened to all our concerns and tried to feed him as we requested. Some days he even ate more at daycare than he would eat at home. They accept babies as young as 2 months and many of the kids stay 4 or 5 years until they graduate to kindergarten . We appreciate the small caregiver to child ratio. The caregivers get to know each child individually and treat them as they would their own children. We can see that our child is truly loved and cared for here. Our child will never fuss or cry at drop off and seems genuinely happy to be going to daycare and seeing his friends and spending time with the caregivers. He gets to do fun crafts and activities and a variety of enriching and educational opportunities each week.

First, I want to say that the bottomline is that we are so appreciative of Symonett Family Daycare…read moreand the time that each caregiver has placed to support our son. Our 11month old at the time was about to enter daycare for the first time as I was entering into work/continuing full-time school, and my husband was working full-time as well. We are both mental health professionals and it was really important for us to find a place that provided space in a more intimate setting to attend to our son's learning and growth. Our son is now 2 1/2 years old and has adjusted so well to Heidy, Vanessa, and various other team members (currently it is Anna). Our son loves each caregiver so much. They are family to him :) Here are a couple important points that really stood out that we appreciate about Symonnett Family Daycare: PROVIDING UPDATES: It was scary the first time to have our son start his journey in daycare, but what has been reassuring is the photos and text updates we receive. We have also checked in via text message and the team is quick to respond to questions that we have or updates we are needing to give to make sure our son has a good day. When our son has had his challenging days or wasn't feeling well, the team is very on top of letting us parents know and for taking time to speak with us either over the phone or briefly in-person during drop-off/pick-up times. CHRISTIAN-ENVIRONMENT: Something that was very important for us as parents was to have similar values/beliefs implemented for our son between home and daycare. I could tell that our son was receiving this type of care at Symonnett because we would sing Christian songs at home and he would be very happy and familiar with it. Our son is also exposed to fun art crafts with some of the crafts having verses of the bible or a concept related to Christian learning. Knowing that my son is in an environment where he hears the same messages at home and throughout his day is another reassuring factor. FLEXIBILITY/SUPPORT: From doctors appointments to changes in work/school schedule, to our son's learning needs with speech development, we have been so grateful for the time this team places to make sure we are on the same page and updating in case changes occur. COVID-19 safety: The pandemic changed everything for everyone and cleanliness/safety have become even more of a priority. Prior to the pandemic, we could tell that this team was very clean and made sure our son was safe. When the daycare re-opened (after being required to closed due to the initial months of government lockdowns in California), the team let us know of additional protocols they placed to keep the intimate number of kids in the household safe. This helped us feel safe to bring our son to daycare even in the midst of this year during the pandemic. Overall, this daycare is like family to us. Our son is very happy and gets positive social interaction with the other children which we love. You won't regret reaching out to this team if you are needing high-quality support! We are so thankful for them! :) -Melody & Andrew E.

We are so happy with our decision to send our daughter to HHP! She loves it! We definitely think…read morethis is the best preschool in town (and we looked into a few in our area). Mrs Jennifer is the best! They'll mes. Jennifer and HHP staff provide a safe and fun environment for the children, giving us the peace of mind all parents need. She has wonderful teaching methods AND Mrs. Jennifer goes above and beyond in her own time with her education/studies to bring even more great techniques to the children. So organized too, I especially love the monthly calendars to help parents stay involved in what their kids are learning. This makes it so fun when asking our daughter what she learned today at dinner time. And the school app. is wonderful because we get to see pictures of all the fun things the kids are doing for the day. Our daughter has learned so much in such a short time and looks forward to her days in school. We couldn't have asked for a better preschool and teacher ‍‍
