Mustard Seed Preschool & Kindergarten - Summer toddler room arrangement

When it came time to look for a preschool for my daughter (4 years ago) I did a lot of research…read moreonline and in person. Thanks to all the great reviews here on Yelp and also a referral from one of my very good friends we decided to go with Mustard Seed as a place for my daughter to grow. She was 4 years old when she started and was very, very shy and was nervous. But it did not take her long to warm up and get comfortable with her super sweet classmates and the wonderful staff. The following year she continued onto TK and flourished into this bright intelligent little girl. The teachers at Mustard Seed did such an amazing job teaching the all the students and preparing them for Kindergarten. My daughter is currently in 2nd grade and is reading at the 6th grade level and I can't imagine her advancing to this level of education if it weren't for Mustard Seed. Fast forward - I needed child care for my youngest son as I prepared to go back to work and so thankful they have a toddler program I was able to enroll my son in at 18 months old. They love and care for all the children like it were their own and this gives us parents a peace of mind. He is now 3 1/2 years old and graduated to the preschool room where he absolutely loves to learn and play with his classmates that he calls, his best friends.

My kids really enjoyed their time here even tho it was cut short due to the shelter in place and…read morepandemic. Both my kids went here, wish the grades went up higher. My Son was in kindergarten but now he is moving on to first grade and my daughter will continue to come here she was in preschool but now she will be starting TK. The teachers and staff at mustard seed really love what they do! They are all about the children's safety and well being. Not only that they make learning fun and exciting! My kids always looked forward to going to school each day. This place is very family oriented and they treat our children as if they were their own. Nothing but love and compassion from mustard seed! I'm kinda sad that it had to end so abruptly but I'm hoping and praying this fall we can have a better year for 20/21 school year! I sure do give teachers a whole new level of respect, their jobs are not easy! All teachers need to have more recognition for the work that they do!

Just wanted to write a review on my first experience at the preschool. (My son is enrolling to…read moreenter in September and researching the school I had not found any reviews on yelp or anywhere). My son is 3, and he has not had much experience around children this age. Walking in he was adamant about not going to preschool, however once there my shy son quickly began playing, he seemed very comfortable although not his usual talkative self (like I mentioned he is painfully shy) . I loved the different play areas, the fact that not only do they have a yard but also have an upstairs gym to play when the weather is not agreeable. I have driven by this church many times but never thought that there was a preschool there until I came upon a Craigslist ad. The Teacher, Mrs. Linda is very warm, easy to talk to and explain their program thoroughly, so much so that I had very few questions since all of them were answered. There seemed to be a lot of art work from the children, various projects and the main room seemed welcoming. Lots of toys, books, and things to keep children busy. I immediately took a liking to this place. She explained in detail day to day activities, and I kept thinking "Jr will be busy throughout the day here". Walking out of the first meeting I knew this was were we were enrolling our son, I am delighted that he will get to spend some time with Mrs. Linda, and can not wait to hear stories of his first experiences at preschool. Will update once he has been going for a few months.

My little one takes a long time to warm up, yet Mrs. Linda and Mrs. Clara are the most warm…read moreteachers , my daughter is learning and opening up socially! They are affordable and caring, with a low ratio. They are a part of a church, yet we aren't religious and we have never felt uncomfortable. I highly recommend this preschool:)

Jaime and her team are amazing they're caring, patient, and truly treat every child like family. In just six weeks, we've already noticed a big difference in our son. He's only a year and a half, and he's starting to put small words together! We can tell he's learning and growing every day because of the love and attention he gets here. We recently moved from the Peninsula and were nervous about finding a daycare we could really trust, but Mimi's Grasshopper has gone above and beyond. Emiliano loves it here, and so do we. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for their little one!

Currently our youngest daughter attends and has been going there since she was 18 months old (she's now 4.5). Both of our girls love teacher Jamie and the rest of the MeeMee's staff so much! The children are so well taken care of and have so much fun when they are there. The house has a classroom with tons of toys and a large, beautiful backyard with a swing set/ play structure and tons of other activities to do outside. I love that they are learning through play. I am so appreciative of the staff at MeeMee's for loving my kids and taking such great care of them. It truly is a peace of mind knowing that your kids are safe and taken care of AND that they actually love going to preschool when mom and dad have to work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare!

I'm writing this review as a former parent whose children attended St. Vincent Ferrer Preschool…read more Unfortunately, our experience left me extremely disappointed, particularly when it came to the school's ability to understand and support children on the autism spectrum. I truly wanted this school to be a place where my children could learn, grow, and feel accepted. However, I often felt that there was a lack of understanding, knowledge, and appropriate support when it came to my child's individual needs. Instead of feeling like we had a team working alongside us, I felt like I was constantly having to advocate for basic understanding and accommodations. Eventually, I felt that I had no choice but to discontinue my children's education at the school because I did not feel confident that their needs were being adequately understood or supported. What is especially frustrating is seeing resources and effort being put into things like a coffee cart and taking yoga classes while families of children with additional needs are struggling to receive the education, training, and support they deserve. There is absolutely nothing wrong with creating something nice for staff and families, but I believe the school should also prioritize investing in staff training, autism awareness, individualized support, and resources for children with special needs. Children on the spectrum should not be viewed simply as difficult or disruptive when they need additional support. They deserve educators who are knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and willing to understand their differences. I sincerely hope St. Vincent Ferrer takes feedback from families like mine seriously and makes meaningful changes. Our children deserve to be supported, understood, and given the same opportunity to succeed as every other child.

Heather welcomed my family and provided us with a tour. The classrooms were clean and well organized. Your little ones will enjoy the room themes and toy collection. Their center opens at 7am, which is late for a commuter like me to drop off my child. If only the management team would consider opening as early as 6am for drop offs, then most single moms like me would appreciate it in the future: I highly recommend St. Vincent's Preschool program to families who desires to grow in their faith and become part of a loving community in Vallejo.

My children are three-year-old twins and they love it and they love providers and the children there the quality is invaluable. Their morals, their and what they stand for your child couldn't be in a better place. I think eventually she's gonna open a couple more once you get a dose of this real and real family setting there will be no place like home thank you guys so much for everything you have done and also the teaching is impeccable. They try their hardest to align your work schedule with their hours and make it so easy for a parent to work and have for their children and a lot of providers. Don't do that so they go above and beyond and it's so appreciated words can't even describe. I'm gonna be sad when they grow out of going there. I can go on and on and on about how the service is and also they make all holiday special for the children and I think that is one of the greatest things how they go again above and beyond. Teaching playing everything you need life skills if you need it the service is done.

Outside of that, my daughter really really enjoyed her time at KC. They were welcoming and friendly and made it known that they cared about my daughter and the other kiddos they had. Ms. Mary went above and beyond for special art projects and creative ways to keep my daughter engaged. Ms. Liz welcoming her at the door every morning made my daughter comfortable enough to come in and feel welcome. The app was great to see pictures of what the kids were doing throughout the day and her food, naps, and nap time. A few things they could really improve on: Communication! There were a few times I had reached out regarding a billing issue and it always took a few days to get resolved. Also there was a miscommunication about my daughter's diaper bag not being brought into the daycare one time and them having no proper supplies for her, but her diaper bag was there the entire time and I had to call to make sure they were aware it was dropped off. For general questions I would email and not receive communication back or it would take days or even a phone call at certain points. Also- the app. It works great but sometimes the updates were slow. Also, expect to get the daily report hours after pick up. It's great to get the final report, but I wish it was sooner to see the nap time window and what they ate so the evening routine can be adjusted around what happened in the day. With all this being said, our first experience in daycare was a positive one. They helped myself and my husband feel comfortable dropping our daughter off and always did their best to accommodate our every need. We will miss KinderCare and would likely be staying in the program if we weren't relocating. Rose, Mary, Liz, and every other teacher my daughter interacted with- thank you for your work with her and making it such a great experience for us. Your work is not unnoticed!
