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!"

"So glad that Mindful Miracles came in here. The kids are far more engaged again. They get yoga, Piano man, and holidays! So happy that Ashley and Jarred have really embraced this place and made it what parents should want to see in their preschool. I love the interaction I get to see during the day from their use of the Brightwheel App. The level of engagement of the teachers is refreshing and comforting. I love the focus on mindfulness and I can really see the changes in my 3.5yo. Much more linguistically creative and showing real thought into her communication. Now if she would just eat what I make for dinner.... Ah, other battles.... :)"

"I love Mindful Miracle. My 3-year old daughter teaches me her yoga moves and tells ME to take deep breaths when I’m getting upset! She is so very happy there, and they sleep on these great little cots. They do lots of parent outreach and nice little events to make us feel connected to the school. Everyday has a different theme (Mindful Monday, Transformation Tuesday, etc.) and the kids set goals for the week. It’s a great place where they get to discover and learn about their little minds and bodies and how they connect!"

"Mindful Miracle is truly a great place for children to grow, learn, and thrive! Ashley and Jarred are so dedicated to building the very best early childhood education program possible, and their enthusiasm is contagious. They have built up a great team of teachers who are clearly excited to come to work everyday and empowered to share and implement their ideas for ways to enhance the program. The focus on mindfulness is research-backed and I can already see how it is helping my toddler's emotional resilience. These early years are so critical for our children's development, and I feel confident that the program at Mindful Miracle is benefiting my child greatly. I also love the connectivity provided by the Brightwheel app they use. I get to peek into the daily activities my daughter is participating in, and it helps to carry the thread of the lessons she is learning throughout the day into our conversations at home each evening."
