She takes the time with each child to provide them a safe space to grow and learn at their own pace. Our experience with Ms. Carole has been nothing short of amazing. Our daughter actually runs into her arms on a daily basis and is always extremely happy to see her. This daycare has far exceeded my expectations and I'm so happy my child will be taught by a loving, caring, and generous person. My husband and I are extremely confident we've chosen the best possible person to care for our daughter, so much so we will not be moving out of the area any time soon!

She also sends photos and text updates during the day so you get to see what the kids are up to. Our daughter loves going to Ms. Carole's and is always excited to show us her artwork when we pick her up.

I got to meet the 2 year class, were my 2 year old was going to attend, unfortunately the teacher didn't greet my daughter who was going to attend that particular class. Besides that, the teacher didn't seem happy to be there, her expression on her face wasn't pleasant & she was very, un enthusiastic towards the kids. I also noticed that she sung a song to the kids, which was awesome, crazy but I also noticed, the teacher giving a snack to only about two kids, there were more that 5 kids in the classroom, she also didn't WASH HER HANDS During snack hand out. I hated to observed so much, but my children deserve a communicable, enthusiastic, clean welcoming teacher. I'll continue to do my search.

When I say I was terrified to send him to daycare/preschool, I mean it. I had no idea how he would act with no family around, with teachers, and structure. From the first meeting we had the staff at Grow Smart has been PHENOMENAL. They continue to reassure me that toddlers need to get used to structure and the discipline of a classroom setting, and that they are prepared for the transition. The staff is so kind, understanding, down to earth, and compassionate. I trust them to provide our son with the best care, and as a parent that is priceless. We pay out of pocket with no government assistance, and it is worth every penny for the comfort and relief of knowing our son is safe. Thank you Grow Smart!! Also- this is an academic daycare/pre-preschool. So not only is he getting social interaction, and learning patience and discipline, but they teach them there basic numbers, letters, and more!

The teachers are incredibly loving and thoughtful. I especially love the fact that they celebrate birthdays and holidays and create opportunities for parents to get to know each other, too. My child has grown by leaps and bounds, and his interactions with the other children are fun to see. The fact that meals are provided (bfast, lunch and snacks) is a godsend. Several daycares/preschools in the region claim to be Spanish immersion but aren't actually (e.g., they speak English to the kiddos). At Lulus, I feel like we get a truly authentic Spanish immersion program for our son, knowing instruction is exclusively in Spanish. And it shows. My son 100% understands Spanish when it is spoken to him and he mixes Spanish and English in his vocabulary regularly. I credit Lulus for a large part of that bilingual ability and look forward to seeing his fluency improve in the years to come. Highly recommend Lulus!!

To which she and I replied that he does need to go so he can tell her all the new things he has found.

My two children both attended Kindercare from the age of three months through last Christmas…read morebreak... They are 6 and 8 now. To rate a child care center poorly because your "baby cried" is like condemning the state of Washington because it rained. It wasn't a perfect journey, because whose childhood is, but this place feels like home to both of my kids. From the desperate, sobbing mornings leaving my infants behind (Teacher Esae trying to convince me that if I leave quickly, it will hurt less for everyone), to the excitement of my daughter taking a cooking class at four years old, this center really spanned the gamut of positive experiences for both kids, and for two parents who both had to work to make ends meet in this outrageously expensive city. My son did get bullied. But the center can't prevent terrible parents from raising terrible children. Any incident was reported promptly and the staff did absolutely everything they could to keep my child (and several others) away from the bully. Eventually, the center reported that the child no longer attended Kindercare, and our gratitude for that resolution endeared the staff to us even more. The center also accommodated bus delivery of my son to a nearby elementary school to which they had never bussed before, though they certainly weren't obliged to. Through covid, they were an absolute godsend as both my husband and I were required to report to work as first responders. The center was helpful and understanding as we all navigated the new normal. Occasionally, during random school breaks, we will still need to call on the center for a week or two of care, and director Celia always leaves the door open for us. This year, she even went out of her way to fully understand the new, complicated care protocol for our son's diabetes diagnosis/treatment. At no point did we ever feel uncertain about leaving our children there. In particular, teacher Shonda and Miss Barbara have made our kids' lives so much better, and they will always have a special place in our family's memories. The cost of daycare is crippling. That's just a fact. But this center does not set their own rates, corporate obviously does, so throwing a fit about it on a review forum is absolute ignorance. The standards that this staff sets for their individual care and attention, as well as amicable and reassuring relationships with the parents, is exactly what we were looking for in a daycare, and it was delivered in spades. 10/10, very highly recommended.

They've now been attending for about 8 months. Rita is very patient and loving toward the kids, super organized, not to mention lots of fun. My son was a late talker and having been at home hadn't had many social interaction opportunities but has flourished in every way under her care. She has a great outdoor space, the kids really enjoy playing with the water station and all the other activities, plus she cooks healthy meals that my kids actually enjoy eating (my son can be very picky).

They also maintain a spectacularly clean facility and provide nutritious​ organic snacks and lunches. The teachers, the director, and the assistant director are all caring and all are just so amazing with children​. My child has been able to stay with the same teacher since being placed in the toddler class, and she absolutely loves Ms. Samantha, and so do we!

They just wrote down the menu for that day so I wonder if he ever really ate even though they said yes when I asked. My son was always big for his age and it seemed like there are too many kids here and they weren't able to give him the time and attention he needed. The ratio is 12:1. When I dropped my son off one morning, poor Ms.Kelcey was changing a diaper while 10 other kids were running around and one was crying in the corner. Nothing on Ms.Kelcey; shes great and she handled that like a champ. They just need more staff here. I noticed one of the teachers had quit when my son first started and the teachers here seem kind of burnt out. The director met with us and said my child wasn't meeting his milestones and that the teachers hadn't observed them. But, when we got our son evaluated by his pediatrician and a speech therapist, that was not the case. His outbursts at school didnt improve. From looking at the footage that they DID show us, it appeared it happened whenever teachers were looking away, so I do feel bad for the other kids. It seemed like he was always getting written up and they looked for any reason to write an incident report. Most times that we asked to see the footage, we wouldnt get it. The director would just say she watched it and tell us what happened. The director pushed for my son to get evaluated through the regional center and even after I went through the process of doing so to get him the help he needed, he was still terminated. After my sons occupational therapist went to the school (she went and observed him his last week there), she observed that our son was not the worse behaved one and that he was just copying other kids behaviors. Now that my son is in a different pre school with a smaller ratio, he is doing better. So, maybe this school isn't for neurodivergent kids or for shy kids or for kids that are big for their age. For the price, I would say you get what you pay for because the facility is beautiful, always clean, and the yard is nice. Food is good from what I've seen and super healthy. But, it is packed with kids (12:1 in prek) and they really need more staff!!
