My daughter has been with Elena & her staff at Just for Kids since she was 16 months. My daughter is starting kindergarten now & will continue to go to the after care program that they provide at Just for Kids. Just for Kids has helped teach my daughter how to write, read, memorize her shapes, alphabets & numbers. They have prepared my daughter for kindergarten and to succeed. The teachers Ms. Maria, Ms. Nancy, & Ms. Cari have all been a huge part in my daughters growth and I cant thank them enough. Im very grateful and would recommend Just For Kids to any parent looking for a daycare & preschool. The director Elena has a great system there. Thanks again & continue the great work.

My kids have been attending Just for Kids since they were infants and the care they have received has been outstanding. Ms. Nancy is a phenomenal teacher and my kids are well prepared for kindergarten.

My son, who is now 21 months, has been going to this daycare since he was 8 months old. He learned how to eat thanks to the dedicated teachers. He learned how to speak in English and Spanish from his teachers. The love and care they show him is impeccable. The cleanliness makes me feel so comfortable. Knowing that he is safe and clean and loved at all times of the day gives me joy. My son loves daycare so much he gives me such a hard time when it’s time to go back home! I will for sure be sending all my future children here.

My son has been attending to this daycare for almost a year and although it was his first time in daycare, In my personal opinion the adapting process was more comfortable for my son because everyone there works very professionally.

My three kids have been attending Just For Kids for the past 2 1/2 years and we all love it. Our daughter just left them to transition to Kindergarten and she was more that prepared for her test and her first official year of school. The teachers that work here are caring and devoted to the education of the kids and the director of the school cares about all of the kids and families that attend. I would and have recommend this school to any that are looking for a place for their kids to grow when you have to be at work.

My little girl has been going there for 1 week now. I had NO problems with any staff member and had a peaceful feeling when I left her there the first day. The owner was holding my daughter when I went to pick her up. Everyone is pleasant and I feel very comfortable with their care! Definitely would recommend them

I learned about Just for kids 19 years ago while looking for a safe place that had a good staff that I could trust. Well, I found it and I have to say that my daughter was not interested in learning but she sure did because of the effort and love she was shown here. Elena is a GREAT owner and the staff are wonderful. Now, my grandson is attending and for sure Im having the rest of my grandchildren to attend. I love this place!! If you want your children to be safe, loved and taken good care of, this is the place to be.

I had three kids attend Just for Kids Daycare, Its fantastic in every way. Its a safe, clean, loving environment. The school has the right balance between study/work and play. I cant recommend it highly enough. The staff are friendly and understanding. All three of my children loved going to this school everyday.

I visited several other daycares before finding Just For Kids and when we went for our initial visit I knew it was a special place that I would feel comfortable leaving my 6 month old at. I had never had to send my other children to daycare and it was a hard transition for me but Maria, the teacher for under 1, is really a wonderful person she truelly loves the kids. My daughter is always clean and happy when I pick her up. Elena the director is sweet, compassionate, friendly and is always there playing with the kids. I feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful place to help care for my daughter.

Very condescending phone call.. I tried to speak in Spanish with the woman on the phone because her english seemed very heavy, (All this I did politely, without offending her in any way) and her manner just ended in being very loud and rude. I tried to tell her that I am in the process of beginning my 45 hrs and she tries to give me a lecture about how no daycare will accept that. Im sorry? Thats not exactly true? She also demands to know if I have the papers to work here, which confuses me, what papers?? her tone escalates when I politely ask her to clarify about this. It took me a few minutes to realize that she meant to ask if I am allowed to legally work in the U.S, to which I answer yes. Her demanding questions were unclear to me and her tone was very rude. I was already weary of calling this daycare after reading some bad reviews, but now I am conviced..

The reviewer Sabrina Campos is a bald-faced liar as she could never have seen me picking up my son, my babysitter always picked up my son. And no one could ever confuse my babysitter as being my sons mom. Sabrina is probably a staff member at the daycare who is continuing to spread their lies. I would not wish the horrible experience we had there on my worst enemy. The staff was so hateful towards my son - I have never had any childcare staff or educators treat him that way. I cant think of anyone who has ever cared for my son or had him in their class that did not love him. Why would they lie about something where it is so easy to prove them wrong? Just look at a childs school records.I also could never communicate with the staff. One time I called, frantic about my sons safety, and the phone was answered by someone who didnt speak any English and who told me that the director was too busy to talk to me. I also had discussions with the director, trying to get to the root of the problems, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Bottom line? For whatever reason, they just did not like my son and treated him horrendously because of it. Not because he was allegedly a bully - they just did not like him. From my sons side of the story, it was the other kids hitting him and the staff did not protect him.I would report this daycare further but I have more important things to do. I just want all parents to be aware of our experience, and to understand the gamble that is involved with this daycare. If you are lucky enough to have the staff like your child then you might be ok. But if for whatever reason, the staff doesnt like your child (even if you have no idea why) then please beware of this place. No child deserves to be ostracized and vilified the way my son was by this daycare. And because they did not like him, they did not protect him from the other kids bullying.

This facility is absolutely disgusting. The only reason there is one star is because Im not able to post our experience without one unfortunately. When my daughter and I arrived to our scheduled appointment with the director all of the children were crammed right by the front on their mats. With that being said it was apparently nap time for the children so Im really confused as to why the director said it would be appropriate to come at that time. When we walked in the entire place smelt like urine even my 5 year old said something as I had to tell her to stay quiet because we were basically right on top of the childrens mats waiting to speak to the director. She was on the phone, not even paying any mind to our scheduled arrival and after about minutes she turned around pointed her finger in the air and stated in her exact words, Uhm, Im busy right now. I couldnt help but feel bad for those kids as my daughter and I left. I would never recommend this place to anyone, EVER. I will also be reporting her and the facility to the health administration for hopefully some better care for those children.

My daughter has been attending Just For Kids for the past year and I couldnt be any happier. Last year, after looking at so many schools for her to attend the VPK program, I found Just For Kids and met with the owner, Elena. She took the time to really explain the program and to answer all my questions and concerns.My daughter has made so much progress academically and she has learnt so much here, I couldnt be any happier. Her teacher, Mrs Nancy is the most dedicated teacher I have ever met. She is patient, loving and really takes the time with the children to make sure they understand and learn. I am saddened that my daughter will no longer attend this school since she is now going to Kindergarten :) but I am extremely happy at how much she has learnt.My experience here has been exceptional. My daughter and I are very picky with people and places, and from day one I have seen how much they love what they do and how much my daughter has felt loved and very comfortable here. The facility has always been well kept and clean. From the director, to the staff members, they all have been great. I am looking forward for my 2 year old to attend the VPK program here as well.Thank you Ms Elena, Mrs Nancy and the rest of the ladies for taking such good care of our children and taking such pride in what you do.(Note: If youre like me and sometimes you judge a place by the one or two bad reviews received by one judgmental or disgruntle person, DONT!!! Take the time to go see the place for yourself and meet the staff personally and it might just change your mind.) :)

My 3 kids have been going to Just for Kids forever. They started attending day care, then vpk and now liok forward to go during summers and other school breaks. The staff is very loving. I like the fact that there is not a big turn around of emplyees. Also, they treat the kids like family. I recently visited and found out they are adding more rooms and a library.Ms. Norma with the VPK program, is a great teacher. She knows how balance love and discipline while teaching the children.Ms. Elena, the owner, may appear a little bit rough at first but she is caring and the kids love her. At least mine do. She is always there, making sure the center operates well.You wont regret it if you bring your kids to this great daycare. They will be well taken care off and educated.Sahyli Alvarez Vera

Horrible experience with this daycare. My son came home the first day saying All the kids hate me! The staff was horrible towards my son as well. They tried to convince us that hes a bully when he is no such thing. I told them, Just ask his school and you ll have proof that hes not a discipline case. It did no good. Also, there was no communication. The staff did not notify me about the problems. They just threw him under the bus after the fact, saying hes impossible.I said to myself, things will get better after the first day but they never did. He started there on a Monday but this school was so horrible I switched him to another daycare that Friday, where my son is now very happy, thank goodness. They also refused to help him at all with anything, such as when the other kids were doing their homework. They just claimed my son refused to do it when at the new daycare he has completed his homework with the staff and came home saying Mom youre going to be so proud of me!I cant say horrible enough about this place and the staff. On the last day my son was there, I sat at work terrified, praying to God that my son would be ok. I didnt get him out of there a moment too soon. Please, parents, beware of this place. No parent or child, especially, should have to endure what my son, especially, and I experienced here. We learned the hard way - you dont have to.******Update - the reviewer Sabrina who claims to have seen the director talking to me about my child, is lying, as someone else always picked up my son from the daycare due to my work hours. She never could have seen me. Chances are good that the review is from one of the daycares staff members.

Everything that a mother does not want for a small son that this place I had my daughter and in the first week they put her in a chair in the penance bathroom for crying and just because she was two years old and did not know how to speak well was that she was not They left the way I already said it is only the fathers decision to do it but now that I know that it is a true day care in the United States I do not recommend any mother who really loves her son until I ended up with trauma I hope this comment serves those who need to have a child in day care but who want them to be well and safe for me there was no worse experience if there were lower than one star I would give it because they do not deserve anything

The only reason for the star is to be able to send this message. It is the worst care that I know the caregivers do not do any special p ........ Elena or whatever GranP is called ...... the Director is a lady who is older and may want to retire without problems but does not see anything or pay attention to the incumbents. They are all hypocrites, they are only there all day to be able to charge the hour.
