They are compassionate, welcoming, well trained, professional and friendly. I am finally comfortable going to work knowing they care and love for my daughter as if she is family.

She loves to go and im grateful how thoughtful and understanding they are when my daughter is sick or when I need anything. If you are looking for a daycare that will allow your heart to rest easy knowing your child is safe, cared for, and encouraged to explore their creativity and developmental skills this is the preschool for you.

Last month I enrolled my 2 year old son as I needed a childcare only for a few hours random times of the week as mine and my families work schedules contradicted. I had a tour, was told about safety protocols, meal schedules, and payment. I filled out paperwork re-iterating what the staff has told me and signed and payed the $200 enrollment fee. In this paperwork it included a blue form of people authorized to pick my child up, along with emergency contact information. The first day rolls around and I drop him off in the "voyagers 5" classroom. The staff did not really acknowledge me but I brushed it off and told him he was new to the class and asked where to put his stuff. They showed me and before leaving I told them that he has asthma and his inhaler with the instructions were left up front and he needs it if he starts wheezing or retracting. I picked him up a few hours later, I walked in and it was the same staff member, she again did not really acknowledge me but I got him and left. The next time I dropped him off I brought him to the same class, except there were different staff members this time. My son ran to the table and I stood around for a minute since the staff looked at me and didn't say anything. Once I realized they were not going to say anything I decided to approach them and ask if they knew my sons name. I could tell they were caught off guard and they said something along the lines of "Oh! No. What is his name?" I told them his name and explained he has asthma and his inhaler is up at the front. They said okay and I left. When I came to pick him up there was AGAIN different staff members in the class. I walked in and got him without a word or questioning from anybody. I made a mental note and passed this off of maybe there was some sort of staffing issue this day. The third day I dropped him off there was the original staff member in the room at both drop off and pick up so I did not look into this day. The forth and last day my son was enrolled here had a similar type of scenario again. When I went to drop him off there was a staff member I had never seen before in the class. Again I wasn't acknowledged so I asked if they knew my sons name. She did not. I then went over the same conversation previously and told him his name, tmedical, etc. I went up to the front desk and told them that this day my mom would be picking him up. They told me to give them her name and she would write it down and I was told they are in the process of organizing files so they did not know where my sons files were so a name would do, and that she would have to show an ID when she came in. This set off red flags because his files had my emergency contact information. When my mom came to pick him up she went in a few different classrooms because they had moved him. She finally found the room he was in and she walked in and grabbed him and left the facility. Not a single staff member asked who she was, to identify herself, her relationship to my child, or anything of the sort. I was horrified as I realized how deep this safety issue goes from different staff switching out of the classes, no one being ID'd or questioned and being able to escort themselves to any classroom the pleased (staff did not walk anybody to the classes). And that vital information like my phone number and name wasn't even accessible to anybody. I called the main office to let them know what happened and it was looped around just back to the receptionist at this location. At first she blew it off and asked why I did not bring this up right away,(which I did by questioning the staff), and then it turned to her asking my advice on what they could do to make me feel comfortable with him staying enrolled. I feel as if I should have to give my opinion on this major safety issue, and that at very minimum they should follow what they originally tell parents are done for safety (plus some). As for this location, walking down the halls everyday all you hear are kids screaming and crying not being comforted whatsoever. In his class there were a couple kids crying and we're being completely ignored by staff. This made me a bit sad because they did not try to comfort or even redirect the children at all. I don't know the qualifications or any of the staff in the classrooms but from what I saw at a glimpse they seemed as they did not get any proper training, and the kids were running around in a free for all, which can be overwhelming and overstimulating for some kids, again, these are two year olds. I wanted to include that just because it's something I observed.

I think we can all say that more than anything we want the best for our kids; better education, to…read morebe surrounded by people who love them and to be embraced for their individuality. That is exactly what I envisioned Satori to be. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I sent my three-year-old son to Satori, and after three weeks I was told by Jo, the Director that he was "being seen as a bad kid and that he believed that he was high functioning autistic." I am not sure for all you other parents but, for a director to tell a parent something like this is devastating. When you first start Satori, there is a process in which you would come in to see if your child is "a good fit for the school." Jo said that my son was the perfect fit for the school because he is inquisitive and curious children just need to be guided. However, when our family feels under financial turmoil, I had requested a scholarship until we could get back on our feet and I now believe that this played a HUGE role in his being dismissed. After two weeks, I had asked his teacher Magon (pronounced Megan) how he was doing, and she said that he was doing excellent. 2 days later, I got a call from Jo stated that I need to find another school for my son. The following Monday, she called me at roughly 11 am and said that I needed to pick up my son because he bit his teacher and was no longer allowed at the school because of the reasons stated above. I think this is ironic because when I switched my son back to his old daycare (3 months ago), he has not bitten anyone. Another complaint that I have is in regards to their staff members. One, in particular, I think her name is either Donna or Kathy but, she is an older lady who takes care of the kids during the extended care hours. Most mornings I would wait until my son's teacher Maggie showed up because she wouldn't even say hi to my son in the morning and would continually ignore him. I am not even sure why she is employed there if she does not know how to approach children. There were also times where I came to Parker's classroom early, and I would hear Magon yelling at the children. Maggie, on the other hand, is amazing, and I am glad that she is in the classroom to balance out Magon. I contact Jo, Magon, and Brian Love several times to request a refund on the school t-shirt and the field trips that we paid for but, I never received it. I am thankful that my son has left this school. TUSD Child Find has provided a SIGNIFICANTLY better education than Satori could ever and it was free as opposed to the crazy 825+meals and with the scholarship, it was still 700+meals. My son just needed help with communication. He is doing amazing. I think Satori should be ashamed and should change their mission statement because they do not live up to any of the standards. It's all a façade.

This is the most peaceful, beautiful preschool I have ever seen. Ever. Walking in the front gate…read moreyou see the beautiful mountains in the background and happy children giggling and working together in the foreground. Normally with this many children in one area there is usually bound to be someone screaming, someone crying, and general chaos. That is the furthest thing from the serene scenes playing out here day after day. When my son first started Mis Manos he had difficulty with the transition and would cry quite a bit when I dropped him off and later in the day when other mommies and daddies came and he was still at school. During those first few weeks what impressed me the most was the fact that even if he was crying (and it was very little) he was always being held or comforted by a teacher. He was never left in a corner anywhere during his difficult transition. As a first time mom this was incredibly reassuring. Now my son has been attending this school for nearly four months he loves it there. In fact we bumped his schedule up to 5 days a week because he would ask to see his teachers and his friends. He has improved in his listening and communicating so much and is always happy and tired when he comes home. I always ask him how his day was, and he beams and says "Good!" usually followed by some babbling about what he did (2 year olds aren't always the easiest to understand) and a very exuberant "Alba!" (his teacher). We pack his lunch and water bottle each day and he brings them right into his classroom. He's also learned that whenever he goes outside he should ask for his hat and sunscreen which is an added bonus! I do also want to point out that their toddler class, which my son is in, does not require them to be potty trained and begins at 18months. There is a waiting list and for good reason, this is an amazing school! I also hear they are cloth-diaper friendly, we asked but haven't gotten our stuff together to bring to them so we've been using disposables. I recommend this school to anyone and everyone I meet!
