There is no other daycare facility I would want him at. All the women there go above and beyond for my son's mental, emotional, and educational needs. They are prompt and detailed with any questions or concerns I have. I can see my son's educational growth and highly recommend the phonics tutoring they offer as well. They are a dream team facility! My son loves going to school and learning with his friends.

She propped my baby's bottle at 6-10 weeks old so she could fold kitchen towels for the family we shared her with. Mind you she only had 2 babies in total to care for! CA regulation mandates holding an infant while feeding for safety, bonding and nurturing. I walked in and my baby was choking as my breast milk ran down her face. She was kicking her legs and flailing her arms, struggling to self feed. Her neck always smelled of spit up and when I asked Melissa about this, she indicated there was no spit up and she had no idea why she smelled that way. It was due to her not being held for her 4 feedings a day while my milk ran down her face as she struggled with the flow of the bottle nipple at 6-10 weeks old :(. Melissa, find a different profession. You never belonged in childcare! Parents, do your research, look up her Eco baby childcare "business" in southern California. I immediately removed my child from her care and she wouldn't allow me to collect my belongings without bringing her a check. I paid her and she packed up the little boy she also nannied for and cashed it within 10 minutes. The other mother Innesa Burrola who is now some prominent retired at 30 CEO was supportive of this behavior. It has been 14 years and this still haunts me .

Every teacher and teacher's aide that my sons have had were loving, engaging, attentive and just overall wonderful. The directors, Angela and Suzanne, have been everything you'd want to see in leadership - knowledgeable, compassionate, fair and great communicators. The school has always informed us of any issues that our sons might be having, big and small, and have been very supportive in working with us to find solutions. Thank you MDS for all of the love, devotion and virtuous foundation that you have helped establish in our children's lives. We are blessed!

Parent Review As…read moreparents, we feel it is important to share our experience so other families understand how a serious child safety issue was handled at Methodist Day School. On February 12, we were informed that a photo had been taken inside the school involving our three-year-old child. In the image, an adult staff member is holding our child, smiling with their tongue out, and physically positioning our child's hand into an obscene gesture. () Our child did not initiate this action and does not understand its meaning. The photo was taken by an adult and shared digitally. We reported this incident to school leadership the same day. From the beginning, we expected immediate action, transparency, and clear safeguards to protect children. That did not happen. Over the next twelve days, we attended meetings, sent written communication, and made ourselves fully available by phone and email. Our contact information was provided from day one. We repeatedly asked for clear answers, accountability, and written safeguards moving forward. Those answers were never clearly provided. The staff member involved remained employed and continued working with children. We were told the response would have been different if the image had been shared publicly, which was deeply concerning. Child safety should not depend on public exposure. We were also told it was our decision whether to confront the staff member or take the matter to the board. That responsibility should never have been placed on parents. Issues involving staff conduct and child safety should be handled by leadership. Because of how this was handled, we removed our child from the school on February 20. One parent resigned from employment at the school the same day, despite loving working with the children. Another teacher also resigned and removed her own child due to concerns that the staff member involved remains employed. For clarity, there was no personal relationship between my wife and the teacher involved. They were coworkers only. When we attempted to be heard by the school board regarding our own child, we came respectfully with written documentation. We were instructed to wait outside for over two hours and were not allowed to be present while our child was discussed. When we were finally allowed to speak, no responses or statements were made. No one reached out afterward. Throughout this process, the incident involving a single teacher in the orange room was repeatedly minimized. Responses from school administration, board leadership, and pastoral leadership focused on controlling discussion rather than addressing the seriousness of what occurred. All we asked for were clear answers and written safeguards moving forward. To this day, those safeguards have not been clearly documented or confirmed. If child safety and accountability were the priority, the outcome would have looked very different. Instead, the school lost two employees and two students who did nothing wrong, while retaining the staff member involved and the leadership responsible for how parents were treated. This does not reflect all teachers or staff. Many care deeply about children. Our concern is with leadership and how a serious child safety issue was handled after it was reported. Parents deserve to be respected, included, and heard when decisions involve their children. Child safety should always come first.

Just as importantly , they don't annoyingly pester tge clients into doing things.. my daughter doesn't want to do the things the others so and is not bothered by people telling her what she NEEDS to do. Which is refreshing cuz she can do as she pleases, she's grown. It's daycare not prison. Beware when choosing a place for your loved ones.go there and see if the clients seem content or are they anxious? This is a good daycare for your adult loved ones while you work. This daycare even has a nap room which I think is essential for an establishment that deals with the elderly and disabled. There's always at least one nurse there at all times it's a great place. If they screw up I'll update this right away. My daughter went for about a year before covid then was kept home for a year and a half and just started again with the same great people. My only complaint is the stupid temp check. My child has many problems, extreme anxiety being one of them and her temp shows as high because she's upset about the temp checks and gets herself worked up and crying on the way there. All employees and clients should be vaccinated or not allowed inside. The cdc as well as every intelligent person who knows anything at all about anything but this is just covid at the moment we're talking about. Most people with covid don't show symptoms if they do, including a fever, they've been contagious for days and have already infected everyone. So instead of the useless temp check it should be mandatory vaccination for all. TLC took clients to be vaccinated. I personally thank them and wish everyone would just get vaccinated and shut up with the nonsense. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.
