Nini’s Place

Nini is AWESOME. My son was with her for a year before he started pre-​K, and he loved loved loved the school. Both Nini and her staff, Bessie and Jacquelini, are very very gentle, loving and comforting, very important with kids of this age… They were very intuitive with the kids, laughing with them, or guiding them, or giving them more one-​on-​one attention if they needed it, or were having a hard day. Nini manages to have a consistent schedule (which is good for kids) without having the schedule over-​run the individual needs of the little ones.
My son was in two different daycares (in Southern California) before we moved up here and found Nini, so I had other experiences to compare this to, and she is superior in every way. Every time I picked my son up, he was happy, well-​rested, and had a clean face (it’s surprising how many day cares let kids run around all grubby and gross, NOT here). They do a TON of arts and crafts, most days when I picked him up I would have a neat thing to take home with us, either a holiday themed craft, or just a painted or crayoned picture, and they have a very sweet Christmas party (the Santa is played by an alumni of the daycare… AWWW!!!). What else? Yoga? Check. Music class? Check. Fresh fruits and veggies? Check. Home cooking, Brazilian style? Check. I have her personal recipe for beans and rice, which I make at home for my son. It’s a super mellow atmosphere, with a lot of cuteness and love, just the way a daycare should be! I highly recommend her. Oh yeah, the playground is awesome too…
