Grandma’s Daycare and Preschool

"I love mama Shelem & her team! My daughter just turned 3 and has been attending almost a year. I love how much she has blossomed & I truly believe it’s because of all the learning & interaction she has been getting from this preschool! She knows her letters, numbers, even teaches me the sign languages that she has learned! They have worked with me through the potty training stage, stress-free! Now she is fully potty trained! Mama Shelem holds parent teacher conferences every 6 months (I believe) and is so so knowledgeable about early childhood education! They also let me do a quick piñata for my daughters birthday one morning and it’s so nice to witness all the kids interact well with each other; compassionate to one another. My daughter has become more confident playing with younger kids as well as older kids. They really do a great job and I can tell they do everything with the child’s best interest. We love them like family!"

"We are so thankful to have found Grandma's Day and Preschool. Our son has been attending the school full-time for 2 and a half years. We are constantly impressed by how much he is learning. It makes our job as parents so much easier. Mommy Shelem (as we call the owner) and the other teachers have taught him his letters, numbers, writing, coloring, arts & crafts, sign language, Spanish words, and more. In addition, she has taught him to use his manners. People always say how polite he is! She helped him to learn how to dress himself and go to the bathroom on his own and be independent in many ways. He gets along well with other kids and knows how to play nicely with kids that are younger than him. Mommy Shelem is well organized and keeps them on a routine. Her curriculum has a purpose based on early childhood education. She has good quality educational toys for them to learn as they play. I cannot imagine a better place for him to spend the years before kindergarten."

"Grandma’s Daycare and Preschool is hands down the best school/daycare in this area for little kids. Our toddler started at Grandma's when he is 2. We were very nervous because he had never been to any kind of daycare and was home with a nanny. One of the reasons we chose Grandma's, apart from the impressive facilities and excellent curriculum, was that during the school tour, the owner, Shelam Chinas, explained their policy and routine which is impressive. She said their teachers would do everything possible to soothe and comfort him so that he could form a bond with them and rely on them. When my son started he, of course, cried all day that first week. The crying gradually went down, he started enjoying school and by the end of the first month, there were no tears when leaving home or at drop-offs. My son has blossomed and come out of his shell after going there. He loves his school, his teachers and all his friends there. Grandma's has an excellent balanced leaning plan that we feel is a leg over any Montessori or traditional curriculum based schools in our area. They encourage learning through play and music and the teachers also guide the children so that they get the opportunity to learn everything that the school has to offer. They also do a lot of fun stuff like holiday parties, fun filled activities, learning, singing and joyful mood all day. The building and the facilities are impressive and well maintained. The teachers and staff keep the classrooms as clean as possible with messy toddlers around. We are very happy with the school and would definitely recommend it to other parents looking for a curriculum based daycare where children learn, develop their characters and still have a lot of fun! Believe us, you will not be disappointed with your child's care under Grandma's. Thank you Shelam, Victor and Staff for everything."

"If you are looking for an affordable daycare, a safe place where your child will be loved and cared for, then look no further! I know that sounds like an ad, but honestly, this is a great place where your child will thrive. Miss Shelem will care for your child like he/she was her own. She has passion for children and how they are properly cared for and taught. This isn't just a place where they sit and watch TV or left unattended. This is a daycare with a daily curriculum where your child will learn so many wonderful things and stay active! Feel confident you are in the right place. This is the absolute best place to leave your child without worry."

"This daycare/preschool is a hidden gem! Before finding Shelem, our daughter attended amother daycare and was just not enthused to go. Our daughter learned and grew so much with the care and love of Shelem, Victor, and Jessica! The foundation of learning with Shelem's program is incredible. Our daughter's skills and specific gifts were recognized and homed in on in addition to the Spanish immersion she received through her care with Grandma's daycare. I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience. They are simply the best!"
