My daughter has just completed her first full month of daycare under Michelle's care and let me say…read moreshe absolutely loves it. I think I was more nervous about leaving her than she was about staying. She has learned so much and has made new friends in the short amount of time that she's been attending. As a SAHM, I decided to put her in daycare to get some freedom back and to expose her to other kids since we don't have any in our family her age. I love that there's peace of mind because we get updates and photos/videos of what the kids are doing on a daily basis as well as what they are eating. I toured a few different options for daycare and Michelle's daycare was the best fit for our family in terms of cost and environment. Even on the day we toured my daughter didn't want to leave! I would recommend Growing Minds to anyone looking for a daycare for their kids. We chose Growing Minds and couldn't imagine sending her anywhere else! Thank you Michelle for taking care of my baby the way that I would!

I cannot rave enough about Ms. Michelle and her team. my older son started in 2019 and we were…read moreblown away by how caring and nurturing she is! When our second child came around, there was no question about where we would go. We had similar experiences for both our kids... Since Michelle only takes 2 years and older, we had to utilize other care options until they hit two. We have been to a few other daycares during these years and while they were OK, both kids would often cry at drop off and it would be a fight to get them out of the house in the morning. As soon as they started growing minds, the fighting and tantrums disappeared and they looked forward to going every day! Michelle is so patient and kind. She truly loves spending time with and getting to each kid. Every day at her house is packed with fun and learning. She manages to balance novelty with a good routine. The kids do arts and crafts, learn their letters, numbers, and other preschool topics. She has a big backyard with beautiful grass, jungle gym, swings etc., so there is plenty of opportunities for the kids to get their wiggles out and run around. They garden, dig in the mud, play with water in the summer. It's truly a dream environment for kids! She provides breakfast, lunch, and tons of snacks. She accommodates dietary needs and restrictions. My kids adore Michelle, and so do we! She is like family and we are so so so grateful that we found her!

Wanted to leave an update on my daughter's daycare and our continued experience with her care here…read more We are still extremely happy with her care and on a daily basis we are able to see her learning and development progress.

We also love how welcoming Natalie is with the kids and us as well, it's always a positive interaction. She great at listening to our concerns and reporting any concerns of her own. We also find that her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of care she is receiving.

I needed daycare unexpectedly after becoming a foster parent, and Little Dreamers Daycare Club made…read morethe entire process smooth and stress free. Marlene, the owner, took the time to learn about the foster care program and quickly worked on inquiring in how to enroll into the program that covered my childcare costs. They work with multiple subsidized programs as well as private pay families, which makes quality childcare accessible to many families. The care they provide is truly valuable they go beyond basic childcare by supporting families during important transitions. The environment is warm and welcoming, and I felt confident knowing my child was well cared for. This daycare also has its own app that provides you with updates of sleep schedule, feedings, and more! It allows you to have a peace of mind knowing what's going on throughout the day! The enrichment and educational activities are thoughtfully planned and age appropriate. Children are engaged in learning through structured activities that support development, curiosity, and early education in a nurturing environment. I highly recommend Little Dreamers Daycare Club.

This place is amazing. My daughter had a wonderful time before she started TK. She learned so much…read more It was set up like a preschool/Montessori. I loved all the activities they did and all the pictures I got daily of my daughter eating playing learning. The quality was so amazing.. And it's worth the value of what you have to pay.

We are so grateful that our little one had the opportunity to attend Baby Steps Daycare! She…read morelearned so much during her time there and was already recognizing letters and numbers at an early age. She has grown tremendously, and we truly believe that the foundation she received at Baby Steps helped prepare her to confidently thrive in "big kid school." One of the things we appreciate most is that she genuinely enjoys going to school, which can sometimes be challenging for young children. Baby Steps provides an excellent introduction to a structured school environment. The children participate in school-like activities and follow a schedule that helps prepare them for the transition into preschool and beyond--it is so much more than simply playing all day. Sandra and her team are patient, caring, and truly partner with parents. They worked with us as a team through important transitions, including weaning from pacifiers and sippy cups and even potty training. We are incredibly thankful for the love, patience, structure, and early learning our daughter received at Baby Steps Daycare. It was a wonderful start to her educational journey, and we highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing environment that also helps prepare their little one for school!

My granddaughter has attended I believe 2-3 years and it's been as close as being cared for by close family! You will see for yourself. No text or call is bothersome and they are always communicating and providing updates no matter what issue or success is happening. I love how they provide pictures from a simple fever to happier moments like pizza, swimming, and luau parties and I really appreciate how they make it a point to celebrate holidays and end of summer with trips to Knotts, teen center, library, etc. and they also make the coolest backgrounds with pictures for all the kids to share. Those touches you will simply not get at a typical daycare. I also love that the kids have time together so they enjoy each others company while swimming in Their clean pool or enjoying a movie and snack. I so appreciate that they get to unwind afterschool before tackling homework. The daycare has climate control, is labeled clearly with all the required signage and they are prompt with communication in regards to holidays, vacations and special timing if anyone is needing special assistance. All in all, I am super grateful for the team for all their hard work and special attention to many details. You stand above the rest!

This is an overdue review because I was hesitant to leave it, but decided to share my honest…read moreexperience to help other parents make better decisions. My daughter attended Mini when she was 1.5 years old. Now she is 4.5 year old, and becomes more verbal. She started to tell me things I didn't know back then. And I was very upset to hear. To give a little background. My child only speaks Chinese at home before going to Mimi. After 7 months being there, I was told by Jean that my kid never spoke a word in school, not even making any sound. I got her diagnosed, and she maybe had selective mutism (not speak at school, but talk a lot in other setting). At first, I thought it was because the language that she got confused by Chinese and English. Now, relating to what my kid told me now, and thinking my child' reactions back then, I was really sad. My kid now told me, she didn't like Mimi, because all the teachers would yell at her, and hit her on the head if she didn't behave well. They would put her in a room by herself as a punishment. She even imitated what the teachers did to her, and it broke my heart. It is really really bad. These reminded me of when I picked her up back then. They would sit quietly and nicely by the table, playing. (They put the kids into "waiting area" for parents to pick up, and sometimes they can sat there for over 30 mins). When I first toured the school, I was so surprised that the kids were so behaved for that age. I even felt that the place was way too quiet for their age. Also, when I picked her up, sometimes she was clearly sad and upset. Now looking at the photos Jean sent me, (and compared to the photos in her new school), she indeed was sad and unhappy in every single photo. I felt so bad now that I ignored all these signs back then. That I left my kids miserable in that place for 7 months. Afraid, and not even saying a word. When I talked to her doctor about selective mutism, I kept asking the doctor if it is the traumatized experience that caused her this. The doctor said, an anxious environment could trigger it. I have been blaming myself for a long while for it. After she transferred to a new school in Walnut (it has both Chinese and English teachers), after 3 months, she started to talk, and really thrive in the new daycare. On the first day in the new school, the teachers told me that they were so surprised that my kid was so behaved, a little bit too behaved. They said she is very nervous about things and very sensitive. I am glad that the teachers in the new school are truly supportive, and give her so much love. She become the most talkative kid in the class after 6 months (speaks in English). I can clearly see the difference. She is so happy everyday. I think Korean are like Chinese, very strict and disciplined sometimes. I am not sure if my kid exaggerated. But what I know is, after we transferred to the new school, one day, I passed by the Mimi to go shopping, and she was so scared and screamed "I am not going to Mimi!" Every time, I mentioned Mimi or driving toward Mimi's direction, she would give me very strong emotions and said I am not going back. Although of these things, I still think they have some good things. The place is clean and organized (my kid didn't get much sick during the time there). They are flexible. I remembered we were busy during a period when we moved to a new place, and they were accommodating our needs. I hope my kid is only an individual case. Maybe it is just her that didn't fit well into Mimi. I sincerely hope other kids could have a better experience.

He's learned to talk so well, play well with others and be more independent. He is all smiles and laughter when I pick him up everyday so I know he's had a great day. He's made great friends and now we are all sad to depart. It felt like family! He's celebrated holidays and birthdays here and everyone is so kind. I know my son was also well fed-- lunch and dinner-- because he's never lost weight! He's also not a picky eater which is a plus. By the way you know the place is clean because his clothes and socks always come back clean! He's more messier at home with me... haha. I'll be missing Mimi Child Care and will be recommending them to my friends nearby. Thank you for pouring all your love and care for my son.

Her curriculum is fun and very open to creativity and tailors it to every child's needs. My son always leaves missing school already and talks about how much fun he had and what he learnedy. This is his first time ever enrolled in school and it was definitely the perfect experience I wanted for him (and for me too ). It is a definite plus too that meals and snacks are included, less stress and worry on what to pack for him to eat. Miss Patty does offer very healthy and nutritious meals and snacks and my son eats it all! My son is not too picky and he has quite an appetite I would 100% recommend this daycare/academy to anyone!

He has intense energy and I was nervous about his first daycare setting because I was worried he was going to have a hard time adapting or just being too much energy to handle. I also worried he wouldn't be able to nap bc he needs a lot of assistance. Ana was always reassuring that everything would be ok. She never made it seem like it would be a problem and explained to me that every kid is special and as their caretaker she would figure out their special way to be cared for. My kid LOVED going to daycare. In the mornings he would force me out the door because he couldn't wait to go see Mama Ana and Miss Rachel. They fed him well. And after 2 weeks he started napping! We had to move and unfortunately are too far to take him there now. But really miss this daycare. Take advantage if she has room for your child, you won't regret it.
