Children are introduced to sounds and words of the French language through song, nursery rhymes, stories and general everyday interactions. As children are exceptional language learners by nature, this total immersion environment enables them to quickly become familiar with French and begin to know how to use it for themselves. Our days here at preschool are rooted in the idea that a child learns through play and exploration! We lead children each day through a fun variety of arts and crafts, story time, classical dance (ballet), cooking, science actives, music, outdoor and free play time. These experiences are guided completely in French to familiarize children with numbers, letters, colors, shapes, and other early vocabulary. We recognize that each child has unique talents, learning style and personality. LPJ is committed to ensure optimal social, emotional and linguistic growth. Classes are kept to a low student-teacher ratio for happy, healthy learning! Popular childhood songs and nursery rhymes from France will soon become some of your child’s favorites!

She always is very communicative, sends cute photos throughout the day and loves every child as if they are their own.

Can't recommend this place enough!

I'm a very tough critic when it comes to the people caring for my babies, and I can't say enough good things about her. Miss Jenny has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know. She cares about all children under her supervision as if they are her own and is incredibly thoughtful, providing daily updates on the wellbeing and developmental stages she's seeing in our daughter. It's obvious the children all feel at home with her. She does daily art projects, takes the kids on walks to the park, has a nice outdoor space for play in front and back of her house, and we LOVE that she provides healthy snacks and meals throughout the day! I cannot recommend her enough.

Our little one is always coming home with new art projects, and it is clear he is learning so much while having a great time. We also really appreciate the daily updates.

Her baby sister will start in a few months, and we can't wait. The environment and learning at ABC is wonderful; there's a mix of reading, art, movement (inside like yoga and dancing and outside play too!), creativity, and so much more. Our daughter comes home brimming with new knowledge, skills, and excitement every day. Vanessa and Jose provide great structure, but also flexibility. We love that there are updates sent most days too, with pictures and videos so we can get a glimpse at what she's doing. We also highly value the social skills Vanessa and Jose foster in the kids; our daughter has learned to take turns, share, speak politely, and care for others. The friendships she's developed with the other kids her age are incredibly sweet to see (and it's been wonderful getting to know other ABC parents too!), and she has learned to care for the younger babies as well, which was super helpful when her baby sister recently arrived. We are so thrilled to have been recommended ABC Learn and Grow, and grateful to Vanessa and Jose for their care. We can't wait for our second daughter to start with them soon!

Kim and Matthew are amazing! They are genuinely happy to see the kids every day. Just 1 week at Baby Time and our Emmy started to sit up. They provide a safe environment for the babies to thrive and let them do different activities. They go in the wagon outside when the weather is warm, get pushed in the little cars, play with water, pounce their little hands on their piano, sing songs, etc. Never a dull moment. I was afraid our Emmy wouldn't be able to nap there but Kim did her magic and can put Emmy down and she will fall asleep on her own with no problems! They provide whole milk and Emmy is being transitioned right now. Kim has been super helpful with that and is working hard on getting Emmy to drink milk from a straw cup vs a bottle. Kim also cooks organic food for the kids and give them a lot of fruits and veggies. The best part- the updates! We get several updates throughout the day as the occur. Pee, bowel movements, food, bottle intake, naps, and LOTS OF PICTURES and VIDEOS!! Sometimes I don't even get a chance to see or watch until way later because there are constant updates. It makes me feel so much better knowing what is going on with Emmy in real time and I totally have peace of mind. I can't recommend Baby Time enough. Best decision for our family. We trust Kim and Matthew to take care of our girl and they are sweet and genuine. They treat the kids like their own. They also work with you and your needs for your child, so the transition was smooth!

My daughter absolutely loves going to daycare and I trust Kim completely. The kids get wonderful socialization and activities. They provide amazing food, better than what I cook at home.

Baby Time used the Brightwheel app and we get tons of pictures and videos of our daughter throughout the day. Every meal, nap, and diaper is tracked. I am always impressed with how detailed and frequent Kim is with her post. I truly feel so lucky to have found Baby Time.

Grapevine was one of two nanny agencies recommended to us by our hotel. Their online booking experience was easy and I found their rates more reasonable than the other nanny agency our hotel recommended. (I reached out to both and quickly compared all-in pricing.) The babysitter we were assigned, Rima, arrived on time and kept us updated on how things were going. She brought games and activities for my 7 year old daughter based on her interests, which I appreciated. The only thing that was a bit challenging is that we had to communicate with our babysitter via the Telegram app, which was new and different for me. I would have preferred WhatsApp or simple texting instead. Overall, I was happy with Grapevine and would recommend them to anyone looking for at-hotel childcare while in wine country with their children.
