“We have a great grandson who simply loves attending preschool at Tiny Tots! Knowing he’s starting out with such wonderful guidance from an extremely caring, wise and dedicated staff, helps us to not only feel he’s receiving all he needs and more right now, here in the very beginning of his school career but we’re certain Tiny Tots is also giving him tools to help him developed a positive attitude toward school and a sincere love of learning that he will take with him throughout his life. We’re truly thankful.”

“Great learning environment, clean, and caring teachers. Children are very engaged and love their school. Each month has a theme: planets, bugs and spring, etc. They have language, math, and art every day. They have a nice outdoor play area. They incorporate science and building character. My son in TK loves his STEM class which is after TK class, topics change every 2 months: lego robotics, music with Prodigies, solar engineering, UCMAS math, etc. Its been great exposure and enrichment to things that we cant provide at home. My son in the 3 year old class also loves his teacher, and upcomming teachers as they have an open floor plan and all teachers love all the kids. They truly enjoy what they do. My 3 yo has learned cutting with scissors and write letters very well.”

“Our son attended Refuge from age 2. He learned a lot from the preschool program. His vocabulary and language blossomed well. The team does a lot of hands-on activities and fun tasks for learning. Our son loves to go to school. We appreciate the Refuge team. We recommend the school 100%.”

“You can expect a high quality educational preschool experience here. The focused learning activities for the kids a fun and engaging, there is plenty of unstructured but guided and positively supervised play time, and the outcomes of past participating students speak for themselves. My family is so pleased to have had our youngest one’s cherished preschool years fulfilled at A+ Academics.”

“My children have been attending this preschool for the past 5 years. My twins attended for 3 years, and my son is currently attending. All of the teachers are amazing and truly care for the children. Brenda (the owner) upholds high standards of care and cleanliness. She listens to all of the parents concerns and takes action quickly. My kids have loved coming here. Teacher Chanelle holds a special place in all of my kids hearts as they grew closest to her. All of my kids are ahead and more than ready for kinder after attending this preschool.”

“I have my oldest son going here and soon my littlest son will too! We love it here! We love all the teachers and admin that come every day and make this place a second home for our littles! It’s just a great facility I don’t even know how there are low stars as reviews on here. They help with potty training, they have cameras in that facility so you can check on your littles, and every single staff member is kind!”

“Both my kids go here along with my wife's coworker's kids and their cousin. We all greatly appreciate and love this daycare. Yes they get hurt once in awhile but we get ouchie reports each time and the story how. They are well taken care of here and some parents leaving bad reviews need to realize that kids are going to get hurt and don't always get their way which is how they learn sharing, patience, sympathy and the list goes on.”

“Childtime is by far the best daycare in Modesto. I was nervous about taking my daughter to a daycare(she was 2 1/2 at the time) but this facility exceeded my expectations. They genuinely care about each student and it was amazing to see how my daughter came to love the staff and how much she was learning. My daughter attended until she was 5 and I can honestly say that because of this daycare she was prepared for kindergarten! I highly recommend childtime on Floyd.”

“Sweet and caring staff. My 2yr old daughter has a hard time being left anywhere and she has taken to staff well. They have texted me pictures with updates and have a fun learning calendar and tasty meals. They recently received a grant to help revamp the outdated space and I am all for it!”
