It has been about two years I think at this point, and I am still talking about what a helpful turning point your support was during a challenging time. My daughter and I have been through unbelievable and tragic/chaotic life circumstances at times since, and are still overall both doing really well and connecting in health ways - living our best lives in a weird world! I am technically an expert in all of this, and was still just struggling, so I cannot give enough positive and true feedback on this process with you. Thanks again for everything, and figured better late than never, lol!

Don't usually write a review, but I thought Cassidy was sooo helpful that I want to share…read more My wife and I did the 12 week program over Zoom and it's been a game-changer. The idea here is that parenting is more of a self-centric (and partner-centric) exercise; throughout the program, Cassidy was responsive, flexible and very empathetic. What it does is give you a framework for how to make decisions about parenting. It fills in knowledge gaps around what our kids need. The content from Jai Institute for Parenting is good, but honestly it's Cassidy that makes the whole thing worthwhile. If you're at the point where you're even exploring a "parenting coach" then working with Cassidy may be exactly what you're looking for.

I absolutely loved working with Michelle. She will transform your experience of parenting…read more She's humble, fun, approachable, and really just a joy to work with. I found myself really looking forward to our weekly sessions. Since completing our sessions with Michelle, I've recommended her to several friends and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know with kids. It's crazy that we train for our jobs but not to be parents. I really cherish the education that Michelle gave us - and more importantly I am grateful to have a friend and ally in the crazy experience of parenting. Investing in time with Michelle will be one of the most important investments you make as a parent. After 20 minutes with Michelle you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

This is a special place. Irreplaceable. Our child started in the toddler program where we attended…read morewith her. We enjoyed the experience and bonded with her peer parents and the teachers. We were hooked. The operator, Patricia, created a beautiful environment that feels both intimate and aspirational. The staff is immersed in the Reggio Emilia pedagogy, which makes the school feels less "schooled" and not like a daycare where they're just "watching" children. Every space presents an opportunity for learning, engagement and growth. Every teacher engages with your child. There are no "worksheets." The children learn through projects and individual study. We loved the annual camping trips and nature hikes. Over time, the school and families became a safe haven for our family, changing our perspectives of what a school should be. It should be an extension of community. I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. I literally can't find anything that compares.

I stayed at Zette for two weeks right after giving birth to my son Hayes this past February, and…read morehonestly it was one of the best decisions I made for my recovery. I had a c-section and was really struggling to rest in the hospital, so coming here felt like such a relief. The food alone was worth it. Every single meal felt like it was made with a recovering mom in mind -- flavorful, nourishing, but not heavy or overly seasoned. Seaweed soup (a staple in Korean postpartum culture) was part of almost every meal, and I truly felt the difference it made in how I was healing. The nursing staff was incredible. There's a 24/7 rotating team, and I got to know each one of them. They cared for Hayes overnight so I could actually sleep and recover with peace of mind, helped me with breastfeeding, and even did breast massages to prevent clogged ducts. As a first-time mom who had no idea what she was doing, having that level of expert, attentive care was everything. When it was time to leave, I got genuinely emotional -- I was so grateful to each of them for taking care of us during such a tender, hard time. My husband was also able to stay some nights (we're local to LA), which made the whole experience feel less scary and more like something we were navigating together. The staff even taught us how to bathe Hayes before we left! A huge thank you to Eunice, the director, who made the whole process seamless from start to finish. If you're considering a postpartum center, I can't recommend Zette enough.

Because I had already stayed here for my first delivery, I chose this postpartum care center again…read morewithout hesitation. Even though it wasn't my first time, staying here again after my second delivery made me realize that it wasn't just "still good" -- it actually felt even better than before. That's why I wanted to write this review from the perspective of a second-time mom. With my first baby, everything was new and overwhelming, and the time passed in a blur. With my second, I was able to compare, stay calmer, and really take in the experience. Because of that, I noticed the people, the system, and the overall atmosphere much more clearly -- and my trust in this care center grew even stronger. The first person I want to thank is the director. There are more administrative tasks and paperwork after childbirth than you might expect, and even though this was my second delivery, she never assumed I already knew everything. She carefully walked me through each step, clearly explaining what needed to be done immediately and what could wait. Rather than being less attentive, she was actually even more thorough than during my first stay, which I truly appreciated. Thanks to her, I was able to focus entirely on my recovery without worrying about administrative details. I was satisfied with the meals during my first stay, but during my second, I appreciated them on a deeper level. Each meal was thoughtfully prepared Korean food -- not overly seasoned, yet full of flavor. It was gentle on my body and perfect for postpartum recovery. The first time, I simply thought the food was delicious. This time, I genuinely felt, "This is why my body is recovering." The care and sincerity put into each meal were unmistakable. Most of all, what stood out the most was the trust I felt toward the newborn care staff. They were wonderful the first time as well, but with my second baby, I truly felt that this was a place where babies are cared for with love, not treated as a task. They paid close attention to each baby's individual temperament and condition, and they immediately shared even the smallest changes. That gave me incredible peace of mind. Even as a second-time mom with some experience, I often found myself thinking, "I'm so glad I entrusted my baby to true professionals." With my first baby, I visited the nursery frequently because of anxiety. With my second, I was able to rest comfortably and trust the process -- all thanks to the staff. I truly felt that they understood how important it is for mothers to rest in order to recover. After experiencing both postpartum periods at Zette, I can confidently say that this center truly lives up to its name. It helps mothers receive postpartum care at the right time, in the right way. This isn't just a facility with good amenities -- it's a place where people genuinely come first. That's why, regardless of time or experience, it's a place you naturally want to return to. I was satisfied after my first stay, and even more satisfied after my second. If I were to have a third baby , I wouldn't hesitate to choose this place again. As a second-time mom, I can confidently recommend this center to anyone looking for a place where they can truly rest and recover during the most important postpartum period. -- Room 207, Henry & Ella's mom P.S. Both of my deliveries were at CHA Hospital and were C-sections. My first delivery was with Dr. Sung-ho Kim, and my second with Dr. Se-il Kim. I highly recommend Dr. Se-il Kim.

It's such a thoughtfully put together program - a different theme every week, story time, free play in the big sensory gym, messy play, arts and crafts and snack time with friends. It's also been really special as a parent to be able to join the kiddo in school instead of just dropping off. There are other kids there that go with nannies and they also seem to do really well. It's great that the kids can go explore and play but then check in with a trusted caregiver here and there when they are feeling the need for closeness too. And it's so fun to get to be silly alongside the kiddos there. We've also done some of the other standalone classes like messy play and little movers and those are basically shorter versions of the pre preschool and are great. We'll definitely keep doing those too until we age out. :-p After mommy and me I had no idea what to do when the kids graduated and were 1. This program has been so wonderful for us as it provides my child with some structure and plenty of time to play. I couldn't say nicer things about the teacher Danielle. She goes above and beyond and is just great and the staff is so so nice. Highly recommend!

Our almost 4 yr old son (recently diagnosed with ASD) attended Play 2 Progress' summer camp program for two weeks and had an AWESOME time. While it took him a moment to adjust to his new environment, with a lot of tears and resistance the first 2 days, Allie and her team (including Natalie and Kaitlyn and Esme) showed tremendous patience, flexibility, and willingness to come up with creative solutions (like creating a visual schedule of activities and adding a one on one counselor to give our son extra attention), all of which helped him feel very comfortable and welcome. As parents, we had a lot of worry and anxiety at first, but those fears evaporated by the 3rd day when our son jumped out of the car and ran into the playroom with a backwards looking "Bye Mom!" THANK YOU again for making our son's first camp experience so great.

I had my first (free trial) of parentcirkle today and was blessed to be coached by Arielle Nobile…read more First of all, keep in mind that I found out my garage was flooded (due to a washing machine issue) five minutes prior to my session. Also I'm 7.5 months pregnant, super hormonal, and at work while all of this is happening. I signed up for the multi- tasking class- talk about stars aligning. It was such an incredible experience. I was a neurotic mess for a couple minutes during the intro of the call, but after a few deep, guided breaths by Arielle, I found myself shutting off the world (and pressing the "ignore" button on my cell as the nanny/husband/plumber tried to call me). I could go on and on about my session in particular, but instead I will share why I will be signing up for membership into this amazing experience. 1. It makes you feel less alone. You can fill in the blank as to what your issue/challenge/experience is, and you can count on connecting with others going through the same thing or get advice on what helped them overcome it. 2. Its a place to find resources- Arielle suggested some great reads and a guided meditation app which I will certainly look into. I'm one of those people who likes suggestions, buys things based on amazon reviews, trusts friends who have tried things first etc., etc. 3. Safe place to vent- it's like talking to your friend, but better because there is no fear of any form of judgement and is focused on YOU! 4. Reminds you of the importance of taking care of yourself, and (almost) more importantly, remembering not to feel guilty along the way. I loved my first class and look forward to meeting new coaches and parents within this supportive Group!

It's a platform that allows me to express myself and receive great life-tips from others, without leaving my house and while still wearing my casual clothes. Recently, I participated in the sessions "Coping with Stress" and "Sleep Deprived Parents." Both sessions provided applicable tips and steps to help with stress management and sleep deprivation. These sessions have helped me mentally and make me feel that I'm just a normal parent who is experiencing the same challenges as other parents. Parentcirkle truly does help to heal the healers. Even if it's just an hour a week, Parentcirkle is an amazing platform for me to meet other parents and just be myself.
