They send me pictures daily, get back to me in a timely manner with any and all communication and most of all my son loves it. Picture below for reference.

    EDIT to reply: *Thank you for confirming much of what I…read moredescribed in my original review. To clarify, our concern was never your safe sleep policies or licensing regulations. Our concern was the expectation that a 7-month-old consistently adapt to a lengthy group nap schedule and remain quiet for nearly an entire two-hour rest period when he naturally woke after shorter sleep cycles. As parents, we made extensive efforts to support your classroom environment and implemented every strategy suggested to us. We adjusted his home schedule, feeding routines, sleep routines, and methods of falling asleep specifically to create consistency with daycare and make things easier for staff. Despite that, it continually felt as though normal infant behavior was being treated as a behavioral problem rather than a developmental stage. I also find it interesting that while stating you value privacy, your response still publicly references alleged gastrointestinal discomfort, feeding concerns, and discussions about our home routines. That only reinforces why I intentionally kept my original review general. I completely understand that group care may not be the right fit for every infant at every stage. My review was simply intended to help other parents understand that this program may not work best for babies.* I'm really disappointed to be writing this, but I feel parents of babies under 2 should be aware of our experience. As a prior daycare/childcare professional and a parent, I would not recommend this center for babies who don't comply with strict schedules. We enrolled our infant son here because initially we liked the environment. Unfortunately, we ran into ongoing concerns about how sleep was being handled, which ultimately led to us pulling him out. Our son has consistently taken short naps (around 30-45 minutes) since birth, which is developmentally normal for many infants. However, staff began sending him home early if he did not nap for at least an hour. This "one-hour nap" expectation appeared to be a requirement they set themselves, rather than something based on his individual needs. They did come out with various "sleep plans" but it felt like the goal post was always moving and they were never satisfied with the progress he made. It also became clear that a major concern from staff was that our 7 month old was not able to follow or adhere to "quiet time." This was confusing and concerning, as infants at this age are not developmentally capable of understanding or consistently following that type of expectation. At one point, staff described him as "disruptive," which was honestly shocking to hear about a baby. That raised red flags for us about expectations being placed on infants and how their needs are being interpreted. I also want to note that in reading other Yelp reviews, I saw responses from the business that appeared to include detailed context about individual situations, which I do not find appropriate. Because of that, I'm choosing to keep some details general here, as I'm not comfortable having personal information about my child and do not want a response. We understand that caring for multiple infants is challenging, but labeling a baby as disruptive, combined with rigid and unrealistic sleep expectations, made this feel like the wrong environment for our family.

    I love this Children's Center. The staff truly cares. My daughter attended this academy for about…read moretwo years, and it was wonderful to hear her talk about her love for God and to hear her sing worship songs. The teachers are intentional and thoughtful about what they teach. It is the perfect mix of academics, fine motor skills, and manners. My daughter learned a lot, and I felt like I got to be part of her thriving here. Teacher Marissa, Teacher Brooke, and Director Gloria made a huge impact on our daughter and set the bar very high. I wish she could have stayed there through high school. These educators have hearts of gold. As a first time mom I always wanted to know how her day was going, and they kept me informed so I felt right there with her. I received photos every day and used them as talking points to hear my daughter's perspective on her day. She is now in kindergarten and thriving because this academy invested in her. This was not just a school. It was a community. I recommend Mesa Grande Children's Center to anyone who wants a loving environment, strong structure, and hands on learning for their little ones.

Pros: The teachers. The building, the toys all of the great educational resources. Everything is in great condition and very clean (and you would know, as you clean them yourself!). The moms and the other children you meet. Creative and unique experiences for your children to learn and grow through. They are always having special days and they change the classrooms around throughout the year when focusing on different lessons. They bring new items in and take old ones out so there is always something new for your little one to play with and learn from. I always felt my daughter was safe here, and in good hands - which is priceless. And on that topic, the price is very reasonable! Cons: Their motto is "Learning though Play" and they mean it 100%. So much so, that I'm afraid my daughter played too much and didn't learn enough to prepare her for kindergarten. I do wish they had more instructional time, especially towards the end of the year when most of the children in her class were 5 and capable of sitting still for longer sessions of rug time. Also, the co-op experience is really best suited for stay at home moms. As a working mom, it was difficult to take off two days a month to teach or accompany my daughter on a field trip. But, I knew this going in. Just make sure you really understand the commitment you are signing up for, and prepare to be flexible. In the end, all the extra time and effort is worth it.

He's just starting to talk, but his vocabulary has expanded rapidly since we started attending.

Over time we experienced ongoing communication issues with administration, and concerns we brought forward were often dismissed rather than addressed in a constructive way. As months went on, the interactions with administration began to feel increasingly uncomfortable. Instead of working collaboratively when concerns were raised, responses often felt defensive or confrontational. As a parent, it started to feel like bringing forward normal questions about my child's experience was met with pushback rather than support. There were also situations where things discussed privately seemed to be talked about openly in the office, and unfortunately our child overheard comments that made her uncomfortable. That was very concerning to us as parents. In addition, there were basic care concerns that added to our decision. There were days our child came home having barely had any water, and when we asked about it we were told she needed to refill it herself, even though she sometimes struggled to open her bottle. Individually these things might seem small, but over time they created a pattern that made us lose confidence in how concerns were being handled. The final straw for us was an incident involving inappropriate content being discussed among the children. At that point we felt it was necessary to remove our daughter from the school. Every family's experience may be different, and we genuinely hope the school improves in how concerns from parents are handled because the children deserve a supportive and respectful environment.

As a mother, sending her child to school for the first time, it was important that my son ended up in an environment that was welcoming, safe and nourished the whole child. Montessori Kids Land Academy checked all our boxes and exceeded our expectations. Mrs. Lalita and the teachers embody care and professionalism and show attentiveness to every child and family. They helped my son grow academically, emotionally and socially. They promoted and nourished his love and curiosity for animals and science and personalized his experiences. Parents are also treated with the utmost importance. Communication to and from the school is A+. I never had to wonder or question what was going on with my child because the schools system keeps parents updated with their children's daily activities and any occurrences. Communication is open and welcomed at all times. This was huge for me and I truly appreciate the empathy they showed me, as a mother. Mrs. Lalita, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Juli, Ms. Bena and Ms. Rosana have impacted my sons schooling experience with such positivity and planted beautiful seeds in my child that gave him an understanding that school is safe, school is fun, school is where you grow by learning and making new friends and are surrounded by caring teachers. We feel so much gratitude for MKLA, as a whole.

The center director and leadership team are approachable, understanding, and do their best to work with families while balancing what the center can provide. In preschool, the teachers are fantastic. The children still have nap time and plenty of outdoor play, which I really appreciate. The curriculum is well-rounded. They're learning early writing, engaging in storytelling, and building strong foundational skills in a nurturing way. Each month, we also receive updates and materials showing what they've worked on, which makes it easy to stay involved and see their progress. Having experienced multiple classrooms, from infant to toddler to preschool, I can confidently say we've had a great experience at every stage. I truly have only positive things to say about the center.

The teachers are wonderful, sending us pictures throughout the day, and it's clear they genuinely enjoy being with him. They do story time, painting, sensory play, and even have a monthly curriculum adapted for each age group. It's so nice seeing that the hallways and classrooms display all of the children's artwork! We love that he gets to do tummy time, play with other babies, and even go on stroller walks in the outside playground. Our baby hit two new milestones since starting daycare- he's rolling both ways and sitting up early, and we think it's because he's inspired by the older babies! The daily reports are super helpful, too. We always know when he napped and how much he ate, and the app updates throughout the day give us peace of mind. The front office staff and management are also incredibly friendly, and it's clear they love our little guy so much! We feel so lucky to have found such a caring and nurturing environment for him. Highly recommend! -AD's dad
