Mindful Miracle

I have been consistently impressed with Mindful Miracle since our 20 month old started there more than a year ago. Our daughter loves it there, loves her teacher, and is thriving under their care. The teachers do a wonderful job, showing enthusiasm and care and love to all their students, and treating the parents with respect and dedication. (I'm pleased that they have taken care to treat my wife and me as equals, which is unfortunately not the case at every day care, where the tendency is to default into thinking the mother is primary caregiver.) I've also been pleased with their health and sickness policies, including covid, trying to balance the risk of infection with the understood need for parents to have a day care they can rely on. They have regularly sought feedback from parents to ensure they are striking the right balance. They have also continued to offer care at generous hours (7 to 6) and resisted the cutbacks in hours that many other facilities undertook in response to covid or staffing difficulties. The facilities are modern, clean, and safe. They do a great job with their space, and are regularly renovating and updating to make sure the space continues to meet their needs. Being a part of the CalEPA building means they are close to 24 hour building security, maintenance, and janitorial, should the need ever arise. Pro tips: Get on the waitlist early but don't be discouraged if it looks like you might not get a spot. Everyone is getting on multiple waitlists, so it might move quickly. The team is happy to provide feedback on when they expect a spot to open up, even if it's difficult to predict sometimes. Also, when you take a tour, try to get a full lay of the land. We ended up taking an abridged tour due to some nap time, and got the impression the facility was a little cramped. But it's actually pretty spacious, and in my experience, there's ample indoor and outdoor space for each class.

MM is such a lovely place. My son started in their toddler room and is currently in their preschool. The teachers really show love and care for the students, and have done so much to address any concerns my husband or I have. They were so helpful with potty training, too!

I can't say enough for the amazing team of people who provide my kiddo with learning, love and lessons. We couldn't have chosen a better place for my kiddo to grow and have fun. The hourly and daily updates and pictures help bring ease as a working parent. Highly recommend!!!

We've been with Mindful Miracle since my son was about 4 months old. He's now a little over one. The infant and toddler teachers are wonderful.  When I was breastfeeding, they were very accommodating and worked hard to keep me updated on my son's sleep schedule so I could time feeds very easily. Since he's moved to the toddler room, his activities are varied and engaging. It's clear my son is having a blast and he seems genuinely excited to go to school. The teachers at Mindful Miracle are great about sending pictures throughout the day, so we can feel like we aren't missing any milestones (however small) while we work. With COVID, they are having to take extra precautions to keep kids and families safe. We were very happy with the care before, but now we are extra appreciative of all of the extra work they are doing to minimize risk.

This is a great place to send your little ones. My 4 year old son recently enrolled and has never been in a daycare/preschool environment. The staff has been super supportive in making sure he feels comfortable and guiding him through the transition from home to school. They take time with him and recognize his emotional well being as well as his development, which has been very touching as a parent. For instance, he was upset and crying at drop off one week into school, and Ms Ashley, the School Director, talked to him about his feelings, allowed him to express his thoughts, and taught him to take deep breaths as a way to calm down his big feelings. She communicated very positively about the situation to me and my husband. Communication is excellent at the school. They use an app to provide live updates of pictures and video of our son's activities throughout the day, which give us first time parents a lot of peace of mind. The app has messaging to communicate with all teachers throughout the day. We also get immediate updates if he has an incident on the playground, such as scraping his leg, and any action taken, such as a bandaid. The teachers are really gentle and kind. They are all about the emotional well-being of the child and I think Ashley makes it a point to include people who genuinely loves children, likes to be a support to them, and can contribute to the classroom environment. Also, I want to let other parents know that they work with your children and their needs. My son was potty trained right at 4 years old, but he still has Pee accidents from time to time. The teachers here changed  his clothes and was supportive of him.  My son is also a picky eater and he's making progress every day, thanks to Ashley's kind guidance at lunch time. Overall, I'm really happy with my sons experience at the school and I'm really glad that he's with caring, loving teachers that focus on his emotional well being. I have to say that I've learned a bit from how the teachers approach my son's experiences as well.
