Do not take your babies here. Although the school seems like a great Christian school, the staff is…read moreterrible. Let's start with the lady in the front "kaity" she is so rude and acts like she owns the place because her husband is a Police officer. The girls inside who "take" care of the kids let's them cry, fight with each other and whatever the kids want. One of the staff would not allow my child to eat her food but allowed some of her "favorite kids" to eat whatever they brought from home. Mrs. chambers the director will not help your child. I brought up to her attention that the teacher would treat my child differently and she replied with " we are friends with that kids parents". So I guess if you aren't cool with the staff or friends with them, they won't assist your child. Make sure to always look at your statements, they always overcharge you extra fees.

If I could rate a zero I would. This business is truly bias towards certain clients. They decided…read moreto update their building and added a code lock to the front door. These women did not notify me of the change nor share the code with me. As I and my ex are divorced we share custody and he mostly picks up our children. This day I got to pick up my daughter and discover not only is the door locked, they didn't give me the code and didn't not answer the door as I rung the bell. I had been sitting out side for a bit and had a chance to see other parents use the code and go right in. However I rang the bell and waited outside like a criminal as my child was brought to the door. Unlike the other parents that went straight in and had immediate access to their children. The next day for drop off I again noticed all the parents seemed to have codes. I then texted and called my ex asking for the code, he refused. So I waited for a nice parent to come along to open the door for myself and my children. The older kids wanted to drop in and say hello. This week I'm talking to my 4 year old who attends the horrible place and tells me that her teachers did not like the snack I packed her last week. She said they claimed it was unhealthy and she said she felt bad but wanted to eat her food anyway. First off these women have taken their bias/racism too far. To be little parents in front of four years old child is a low down scummy thing to do. These people have my number if anything they could have called me and asked me not to send her with nutrí grain bars, cereal bars, graham crackers and the Minute Maid juice box. But to make a child feel bad in any way let alone about her food is atrocious and not tolerated. I've received my children from this place multiple times in which they had candy, fruit snacks and junk. So clearly there aren't strict dietary guidelines nor are any of these people offering meals to these preschoolers. Bottom line is if there is something to be said about a child's parent, call the parent. Feel free to reach out in fact but the slanderous talk to my children will not be permissible. I'm sure many can agree with that sentiment. Avoid this place if you have any sense.

Let me respond to the complaint of racism. Check my picture and you will see that I am a POC and my…read morechildren are beautiful POC as well. We started with Just Kid'n Around when it was a daycare at the start of the pandemic when my normal daycare shutdown. And we followed to the new preschool. I feel that there is much more diversity represented in the daycare compared to the actual population. My kids have aged out and are now in school but we will be back for breaks and the summer! We were there this summer and we were notified of the need to quarantine as soon as the health department notified the facility. From March of 2020 until June of 2021, not only did we not have to quarantine but my kids had fewer illnesses than our previous daycare exponentially. The staff have always worn masks. I don't understand this complaint of marks. I will never forget the comment my pediatrician made at one of our well visits when she saw bruises on their legs: "I see these boys are very active". Kids play, kids get hurt, and unless it is a true injury, staff might not notice a scratch. If my children reported being scratched or otherwise mistreated by staff, that's one thing, but from everyday playing? My ringing endorsement is that this daycare, and then preschool, came through when I was in a jam and took care of my kids well. They still ask about Miss Melissa, Miss Stacey, and Miss Jen. Communication has been great, when I perceived an unpleasant experience with a new staff member, I spoke with Miss Melissa and the staff member addressed my concerns and we learned it was a misunderstanding. From them on experiences with that staff member were great. I am a very present and involved parent and I wouldn't leave my most precious beings in a bad situation.

My toddler enjoys her playtime and has learned so much. We wanted to find a program that focused on academics as well as social-emotional learning and Ms. Bhavya's training and curriculum has exceeded our expectations. Although the preschool is located at a church, it's not church-affiliated. They use the Brightwheel App and are always checking in with parents and sending pictures.

We are one of the founding families of Little Angels (circa Fall 2025). We have had children in…read moremany different childcare settings throughout Modesto since 2018 and there is no question that nothing compares, quality wise. Starting with the staff, the first thing you will notice is that every teacher embodies love and compassion, and respect for kids. Each person is nurturing, kind, and truly enjoys being around each child. As far as programming the focus is play based plus structured activities with a ton of hands on art and outdoor time. Letters and numbers are also practiced frequently. They just completed a gardening unit that was a big hit. One favorite activity is dance parties for the littles and there are no screens! This is rare. Little Angels emphasize multicultural, inclusive, non-religious, multi lingual learning. And they provide all meals and snacks, wholesome and fun vegetarian foods. The building is bright, open, and non-cluttered, with separate classrooms for the babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. However they all interact on a daily basis and class sizes have very low teacher:student ratio. Ms. Bhavya goes out of her way to make each child feel welcome, included, and seen. Moreover she wants to really understand and support each child's unique needs and brains. She is intentional in how she individually onboards children and makes sure they feel safe. Another thing we appreciate is that they host small get togethers for the families to interact and enjoy holidays together. Last month we had our first field trip to the Modesto Children's Museum too; such a treat. I recommend this program wholeheartedly- it truly is Modesto's best kept childcare secret

First and foremost the reason this school does not have more reviews is because it's great…read morereputation is primarily based off word of mouth. To be a sacred heart preschool family is to know love and to know community. I have a child with a rare speech disorder, it was Terrifying trying to decide where to place him for preschool when he can't communicate to me effectively. He has THRIVED at SHPS. The staff has gone above and beyond to learn how he communicates and even acknowledges him when we see them out and about in the community or at church. He practically unbuckles himself to get out of the car to go to school. My daughter will be starting in the fall. The staff is so kind and caring, this isn't the kind of place that's going to let your child "cry it out" all day. The facility is well maintained, safe and the cost to attend is very reasonable. My child is so happy here and has made leaps and bounds in terms of development. As far as these negative reviews they are clearly vindictive and based on the similar writing styles between the two negative ones they are from the same bitter person. I don't take time to write reviews often but I felt the need to share how wonderful this place has been for our family.

Very nice, trustworthy, and love the kids. Thank you OCS.

The teachers are very patient with the children, older children help younger children settle into routines, and the school even helps with potty training when the time comes. When our daughter started Kindergarten at the local elementary school, we found she was far beyond her classmates in math. This school prepared her well. Your child will take time to settle into the new environment. It took my oldest nearly six weeks. The school will work with you, so be patient and don't blame the school if your child isn't ready.

This place is a freakinnn' mess…read more After essentially being pushed out just two days in, I was told I'd get a full refund, minus the two days my son was "in school", yeah.. ok. What I got instead was several weeks of back and fourth emails, and a check that was finally recieved via snail mail aka USPS. I thought: "FINALLY", cause... hey, we're talking a little over $1,800. I go to deposit it and lo and behold.. IT'S NOT SIGNED. Yes, seriously, they sent me an unsigned check. From there, I went back to the email thread, going back and forth a million times with accounting and random people who never introduced themselves. An aggressive email from a random staff member named Patricia, who never introduced herself or her role in the whole situation. I didn't receive any phone calls, no apology, no accountability. Weeks go by, and I don't receive another check, so I filed a dispute with my bank after attempting to resolve this for over a month. Guess what? I finally heard back from accounting. They tried to get me to cancel my dispute so that they could issue a check again. I said nope! Thankfully, a week or so later, my bank was able to refund me the entire amount after literally faxing them our email thread and the unsigned check. Please do not bring yourself or your children here. The staff here is unprofessional and incompetent and needs to brush up on their customer service. Avoid. At. All. Costs.

I initially decided to send my kids here because my friends sent their kids here and only had glowing things to say about it, and I'm so glad I followed them! The maestras/teachers are wonderful, experienced, and patient. The owner, Maestra Ana, is on top of everything, helpful, and communicative. The school is a Spanish immersion school which i was drawn to. My kids have learned a lot of Spanish since they started, and they've learned so much, and have fun doing it. They have circle time, a playground in back, and a great system in place. They also provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks. The environment is welcoming, and I feel confident that my kids are safe and in an environment where they will thrive. They also post regular photos and videos of your kids in a school app so that you can see how your kids are doing throughout the day. That's been great for me since I was a bit concerned about their transition from home to a preschool. Also, if you're planning for your kids to joint the dual immersion program at Von Renner, then having them start at Primeros Pasos is great idea to give them a head start. They may also be labeled as bilingual by the time they test for Von renner, and have a better chance of getting in. I heard the dual immersion program is very competitive. The TK program at school is only in English, so that's something else to consider. Lastly, the school accepts CAPP, which is a program by the county that helps with the cost of care, so be sure to ask Ana about it if cost is an issue - because there's help if it is.
