Just wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation for the amazing years our kids have spent with Nisha and her staff of supportive and engaging teachers at both PHK and Nature Kidz. My older daughter and younger son each started at PHK as baby bears when they were around 18 months. The teachers were all very committed and engaged often going above and beyond, showing their love and devotion to the students by turning up as bday party guests on their days off! They have a great curriculum of actives, focusing on music, science, language and cultural appreciation. They adapted their topics each month based on the children's interests and invited community guests to come and share with the students (local dentists and firefighters etc!). They make learning fun focusing on a different country each month, encouraging families to share their traditions and perspectives. Over the years our kids moved up with the cohorts of their peers from Astronaut school, to Racecar school, to the great outdoors of Mountain Lake park. Our last couple years with Nature Kidz was such a blessing and I look back now so grateful for the time spent outside on hikes enjoying nature, doing projects, climbing trees, going on field trips to the Academy of science, the library, and the beach. I loved that the kids got to play outside and experience yoga, soccer, bikes & scooters but also still learned letters and rhyming and more traditional indoor classroom topics with their clipboards and blankets! Nisha and Marinelle put a lot of effort and time into building a tightknit community. The teachers posts photos daily and send email updates which were always fun to look at and chat about together with my kids. Throughout the year, the school hosted fun events parents were encouraged to attend during the holidays. They always plan special activities for Mother's day and Father's day and host school wide events for families to get to know each other. We have made some of our closest friends through our PHK community of families. They make the kids feel special and appreciated celebrating their birthdays and planning a big graduation ceremony each year for the students leaving for Kindergarten! I am so grateful to Nisha, Aaron, teacher Chris, Orrapan, Luis, Yare, Alexis, Jazmine, Marinelle and the whole gang! We miss you all dearly! Here are some pics of my littles having the best time.

See all

Our daughter attends Montessori school and we are so happy with her care. Everyday when we pick her…read moreup, she's happy and smiley. The teachers share information about her day everyday when we pick her up and let us know of her development and milestones. We already had experience with the school since our teenage nephew and niece also attended the school as infants through preschool. They both loved the school and their teachers at Montessori. Several of the teachers currently there have been there since our niece and nephew attended too! We are so happy we were able to secure a spot for our baby in the school after being on the waitlist for a few months, and we are very happy with our experience with the school and our baby's care. Thank you Ms. Vasi and team!!!

Ok so I've gave this school a call around December of 2024. The lady had told me to call them by…read morethis summer to see if I could get my daughter in by August of 2025. I've decided to call them yesterday and this is what happened... 1st call: a child picks up then hangs up the phone. 2nd call: a lady with terrible English answered the phone ask for my name (after I said it 3x) and then proceeds to hang up in my face. 3rd call: the lady who I spoke with months ago (I remember her voice) answered and while I'm explaining mid sentence how I've spoken with her before and was interested in enrolling my child she then rudely cuts me off to say they are booked she took 2 more kids and to try next year. I told her she was the one who told me to call back around this time just for her to cut me off again and say their classes are smaller now due to lack of staff so try calling next year. By then I was supper pissed off so I hung up the phone. They really need to work on supervising the kids since they are clearly allowing them to play with the phones and they definitely need to work on their customer service skills. I wouldn't trust to leave my child with rude people like them.

Mary Patricio is the owner of Mary's Little Lambs, LLC. She hires caregivers to provide in-home…read morecare for seniors and has been operating this business without a home care agency license for two years, which is illegal in the state of California. She also works as a caregiver herself without a license, which is illegal in the state of California. In 2024, I informed my brother that Mary was illegally not paying her employees overtime, and running her business without the license. My brother fired her and hired an agency to provide caregivers to my dad for the last year of his life. In my opinion, she was emotionally abusive of her employees, and they were too afraid to say anything about it, to me or my brother, because they were afraid of her. She fired her pregnant daughter as a caregiver for absolutely no reason related to the quality of her daughter's caregiving. She was an amazing caregiver and wanted to keep working for my dad, and her mother fired her. She also arranged the shifts so one particular caregiver that she did not like would not be able to work, instead of just outright firing her. This happened about a month before my brother terminated the contract with her and hired the agency. This caregiver was a very hard worker and an amazing caregiver. She would work nonstop on her shifts, cleaning and picking up the slack from other caregivers - including Mary, who would not complete all of her duties. The caregiver told me that Mary said to her: "Don't work so hard. Do the bare minimum." This is outrageous for an owner of a caregiving company to tell their employee. My father wanted to keep Mary on as a caregiver even after we hired the agency to do most of the shifts, I think because he had an emotional attachment to her. So she continued to work as a caregiver for my dad doing 3-4 twelve hour shifts per week. Not only was she not warm and friendly like the other caregivers, and not only did she do the bare minimum the job required each shift, but she also physically and emotionally abused my father in June of this year. He told me that she was "rough" with him, "jerked" him while helping him stand up and move around, and was "mean" to him during one of her night shifts. My dad was wheelchair bound and needed assistance standing up, walking, using the bathroom, and doing other activities of daily living - and he told me that when he asked her to help him get up out of bed and go to the kitchen, she said, "I don't think you need to do that, John," and did not help him get up. This is neglect and abuse and my father recognized it. He recognized that she was physically abusive and that how she spoke to him was emotionally abusive. However, he wanted to continue to have her work as a caregiver because he had an emotional attachment to her. He was afraid of this woman and asked me to stay overnight in his house for two nights because he was fearful of what she would do. I stayed upstairs in the guest bedroom where I could hear everything going on in his room. After that night in June, she was on her best behavior for a few months, but it didn't last long. A couple months ago my dad wanted to fire her as a caregiver (she was doing 3-4 twelve hours shifts a week) because her behavior was changing again for the worse. However, he still kept her on as his personal assistant and household manager. But two weeks before he died, he asked me to find someone to replace her for this role. I was interviewing other people right before he got sick and had to go to the hospital. He died in the hospital on December 9. At that point, my brother hired Mary to clean out the kitchen, and she removed items without my authorization and would not give them back when I asked for them. She hired her daughter, the same one she fired two years ago, to do some of the work my brother had paid her to do in my dad's house following his death. She told her daughter she would pay her $25/hour (she had asked for $30), even though the rate that they received when they were working as caregivers was $35/hour. My brother and I have asked for the notebooks that the caregivers wrote in for a year while they were working for her, and she refuses to give them to us. My brother and I are co-executors of my dad's will and trustees of his estate, and I have informed the lawyers that I do not want this individual doing any additional work to deal with my dad's possessions, and I do not want her to enter the house again. I was not going to leave a review of her or her business up until this point, but her refusal to give the notebooks has convinced me of her ill intent, and I now want to warn everybody who might hire her that she is a danger to seniors in her care. Do not hire this individual as a caregiver! She has been physically and emotionally abusive to a senior she was hired to care for and she is being hostile to me and my brother now. This is not someone you want to work for you or take care of your loved ones.

Mary's daycare is the best! Mary is the most warm and loving person I have ever met…read more I really trusted her with my son. My son learned so much at her daycare! Mary cares so much about the kids at her daycare. Once she told me 'she loves my son as he was her own'. Isn't that the best you can hear as a mom? I really recommend this daycare. She takes the kids on fiels trips, to the playground, does arts and crafts all while learning them all the stuff they need to know for Kindergarden. The place is also spotless,
