Meaningful Milestones Daycare

"Can't say enough good things about our son's time here. Our son went here about 2 years ago when he was 1 and we moved away from the area after about a year We've attended a few daycares and toured many others, and I've never been to a place where the teachers authentically care so much about the kids. They've cultivated such a great positive environment in there. They also do a fantastic job of building a community with small extra events (cookouts, mini family art projects at drop off out front, etc). You feel like you're part of a community."

"we love mm! we have sent our son here for almost two years (since he was 20 months). he has learned so much and he loves his teachers, the owner, and staff. they have great summer programming, a wonderful curriculum, diversity in staff and enrollment, and genuinely care about their students. mm goes the extra mile to provide monthly date nights, things like magic shows for the kids, and holiday parties. plus, they helped a TON with potty training. highly recommend!"

"Meaningful Milestones has made such a difference in our lives. Our son started at just under 4 months old; he’s now 8 months and crawling, pulling up on things, communicating with more emotion, and even understands baby sign for “milk.” But milestones aside, they love our baby so much- I can tell. He lights up when he gets to daycare. Their fun theme days are awesome, and we love to get pictures daily in the app. I like that MM has a fun-loving, cool-kid vibe- not too buttoned up, and they embrace each child, parent, and teacher’s authentic self. The teachers are amazing here! We also love that they include a date night monthly and parent meet ups, supporting the whole family. I need more of my friends in this area to have kiddos so I can firmly recommend this amazing daycare and school! Ms. Jimia, you should be very proud of the space you’ve built here for the community."

"Excellent, professional and welcoming daycare: I can’t recommend Meaningful Milestones (MM) highly enough! My husband and I enrolled our son when he was 18 months and couldn’t believe how quickly our son’s vocabulary and social skills developed. We’ve had such a positive experience with MM since day one. The directive team is wonderful to work with – professional, responsive, flexible, and caring. The attention to detail in all aspects is always above and beyond, and the teachers are truly the kindest, most caring and hard-working teachers around. We’ve really enjoyed the excellent programming which includes diverse cultural immersion, gardening, arts & crafts, yoga and even a monthly parent date night as a bonus. Great communication throughout the day, healthy food, an indoor open play space which comes very handy in the winter months, and a lot of attention to the children’s programming. I am always so happy that we enrolled my son at MM. Thank you Ms. Jimia and MM team for all that you do every day!"

"As a parent and a former child educator for seventeen years I am seasoned at truly knowing quality and AUTHENTIC, empathetic child care facilities when I visit one. One of my nephews and a very good friend of mines children were students/ clients of a childcare program run under the supervision of a fabulous staff that has now transitioned to a new location; Meaningful Milestones. I had the joy of seeing for myself the genuine, nuturring care that was ALWAYS exuded by the director and her staff whenever I would visit or pick up my nephew. Sometimes my visits would be announced or unannounced, by the spur of the moment because I am extremely "present" and support all of my nieces and nephews and help whenever I can. The teachers that have transitioned to Meaningful Milestones are awesome in their own right. Because I too have worked in the capacity to care for others' children, there are certain qualities I look for and can "feel" that helps me and my family/ friends make decisions about where to place their precious cargo for child care needs. With that said, I have visited Meaningful Milestones recently and I attended a recent " Playground" event. The facility is HUGE, state of the Arts amenities; interactive learning walls throughout, COLORFUL and vibrant. Little people, eye level engagement EVERYWHERE! The event was phenomenal! My nephew and the other children that attended literally ran with their coats on right into all the activities! The staff was extremely interactive and very nuturring and PERSONABLE! More than that, I could see and feel the warmth of the teachers that were interacting with the children there. One teacher was reading a story to the children and the way she was reading; her tone had such a relaxing quietness to it and the children were "engaged." The event was well thought out as there were multiple activities for the children- book reading,computers, finger painting, personalized hat making, authentic child work that the children drew on the table cloths, the interactive cash registers, and play houses that help develop coordination and motor skills, but one of the facilities' hidden gems that you won't know about unless you visit is their gym room that houses a huge play area for many sport activities, baseball training, soccer, jump rope, volleyball. The list goes on and on.The children could not get enough of this area. At one point, all of the children were in this location and would not leave until this event had ended. One last note, I'd like to add that I heard and witnessed; I was walking pass a perspective parent who was engaged with the teacher who will be the "INFANT" teacher, this mom had a little boy on her hip who obviously was shy, and very attached to his mom, while the mom and teacher were speaking, the teacher was gazing into the little boys eyes, engaging him- showing him and making him "feel" warmth, an openness and before it was all over, he was off that hip, engaged, playing with other kids. This is the kind of nuturring, and affection that can not be taught, it is developed over time with genuine experience! My nephew and my friends children will be attending Meaningful Milestones because WE will know with solid , total piece of mind that all of our children will be taken care of; heart, body, soul and mind! What I saw by the staff was a juggernaut of love and childcare experience. Parents- I tell you, visit Meaningful Milestones for yourself and see. You WILL want to enroll your children, I guarantee it."
