Staff are so caring and attentive while driving curriculum in English and Chinese to give our children a head start before entering Kindergarten.

I have not had any of those issues at EFC, they have always been more than adequately staffed. My son now gets excited to go to school (as we call it). He loves his teachers and he loves everything they do. He comes home babbling about everything they did. We were having trouble with "baby talk" while at the other place, and it completely has ended now, at this new place. They feed them breakfast, snack, lunch and snack. And lots of fruits and veggies are offered. They even have a taste test Thursday, where the kids have to taste a different food each week. The long term teachers are awesome and engaging. Our only regret is that we did not switch before we did.

We moved our daughter to Mis Amigos Spanish Immersion Preschool after being at one of those new,…read moreshiny daycares with the modern building and brand-new toys. While that seemed like the "right" choice at the time, we made the switch when Mis Amigos opened, drawn by its proximity to home and my strong desire for our daughter to be in a Spanish immersion program. I'll be honest--I had a lot of fears and doubts at first. Switching schools is a TERRIFYING decision. But now? I am so incredibly happy we made the move. There's so much more we're getting at Mis Amigos that I didn't even realize was missing before. The warmth and dedication of the teachers is next level. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love, care, and passion they bring to their roles. Teacher turnover is extremely low, and it shows. There's a real sense of family among the staff, and that connection trickles down to the kids--you can see and feel it. Unlike our previous daycare experience, staffing has never been an issue. We've never been asked to keep our child home because of a teacher shortage--rain or shine, they are there. That reliability alone has been such a relief. Another huge difference? Our daughter barely gets sick anymore. At our last daycare, it felt like we were constantly battling colds, viruses, RSV, HF&M, Norovirus, stomach bugs, the works. Since joining Mis Amigos, it's been a night-and-day difference. I credit the smaller size of the school, and the teachers' consistent focus on hygiene--hand washing and sanitizing are clearly a priority and it makes a world of difference. Something else I didn't fully appreciate until we joined Mis Amigos is the food. Not all daycares include food in their tuition, and even fewer offer such a variety--let alone fresh, high-quality meals. Knowing that my child is being served nutritious, well-balanced food every day without me needing to pack lunches or stress about what she's eating is such a relief. It's just one more way Mis Amigos goes above and beyond. Mis Amigos isn't just a daycare--it's truly a school. From such a young age, the children are learning colors, letters, songs, and even how to recognize and express their emotions. The teachers post pictures about what they children are up to, and I've taken ideas home with me on activities I can do to help support her development that I would have not otherwise known to focus on at her age. The schools puts on themed and plays and festivals and the children all have a part and watch and parents are invited. The programming and creativity of activities is wonderful! And if you're worried--like my husband was--that your child might fall behind developmentally because they're in a non-English speaking environment, please don't be. Our daughter speaks English fluently with her peers, understands her teachers' Spanish perfectly, and is now coming home singing in Spanish, pointing out things using Spanish words, and even asking us for their English translations and vice versa. It's beautiful to see how her brain is learning to think in two languages--it's truly a gift we are proud to be giving her. I could rave about Mis Amigos all day. Every teacher is amazing, and the entire environment is one filled with love, learning, and joy. This school has exceeded every expectation and then some--I'm so grateful we found it.

The teachers and staff are all very caring, and got to know our kids really well from the start. Our kids (2.5 year-old in Toddler and almost 5 year-old in Casa) had an easy time adjusting.

Both of our kids participate in activities that come to school (piano, dance, yoga, soccer) and enjoyed them, too!

I would like to share my experience with EPM, which has been quite mixed. While the school has a…read moresolid reputation, I left disappointed.  Not only in the education my daughter received, but also the overall attitude of the staff and unprofessional communication.   Communication from the staff was often unclear and inconsistent. I found myself acting on their recommendations, only to have them recant those suggestions when it was convenient for them.  It felt like I was being gaslit.  At times, my daughter's provider recommendations were not followed.  They would state my daughter was the only child not napping as an example, but yet there was a room full of children not napping.  They stated my daughter didn't have friends not knowing that we played with kids from class on regular basis and still do to this day.    A particularly memorable incident that encapsulates my experience occurred on Halloween. My daughter was thrilled to wear her light-up princess dress, exuding pride and excitement as she arrived at school. However, the teacher checking in students remarked, "wow, that is distracting," in an annoyed voice, which was incredibly deflating for my daughter.  I think my daughter picked up on that she was not liked by the staff and that impacted her.  The overall lack of smiles or morale didn't seem good in my experience.   Changing a child's daycare/school setting can cause a lot of disruption.  That is the only reason why we stayed as long as we did and tried to make it work.   On a positive note, Soccer Shots, Wee-Move, and Piano teachers/coach were great.
