Granny Teresa Nursery School 19 Elda Drive, San Rafael, CA 94903

"Our daughter had the most amazing experience at Granny Teresa Nursery school. Both the outdoor and indoor spaces are filled with wonder and are better kept than any nursery school/ daycare we’ve used in the past and/or visited. From the magical village built into the tree outside and the calming colors + wood materials used inside to the present nature of the teachers, I found this nursery school brought out my daughter’s curiosity and confidence while grounding her in natural beauty, art, baking, exploring and of course play. My favorite part: the teachers all show up day in and day out with joy and presence. Throughout our time there, I never once felt anyone was burned out or exhausted by the children. Even though by the end of the day, I’m sure they were. They do an amazing job of showing up for the kids with consistency. You can tell Mayza loves her work and the children. She runs her school with dedication and great pride. Mayza has an amazing way of engaging the children such that I’ve never arrived to chaos. Just busy happy children exploring in their own ways. Huge bonus: Mayza’s food is heavenly. Everyone there seems to eat it up without question. As parents, it is such a gift to not have to prep any food for school. She handles both snacks and meals and exposes kids to healthy option that they’re all excited to try together her. Again, Mayza has a way with children that is very special. I can not recommend this place enough!"

"Granny Teresa’s Nursery School has it all!! Our daughter flourished and blossomed wonderfully during her two years. Mayza is one of the most loving teachers I’ve ever experienced. Her care always allowed me to drive away with ease, knowing my daughter was very well taken care of. Mayza does so many fun and educational activities with the children. She provides nourishing homemade meals, cooks with the kids, does tons of art, singing, yoga, meditation, nature walks and the list goes on. Her space she has designed and created is beautiful and feels so full of love and happiness. She definitely goes above and beyond at providing a nurturing, safe, loving and fun environment."

"My family and I were so lucky that our son got to be cared by Mayza and her assistants at Granny Teresa Nursery School. My son experienced a safe, loving and nurturing environment while being able to be himself, connect with peers, spend time outdoors and have wonderful meals. The daily updates with pictures helped us to know about his daily development and to feel connected throughout the day. I highly recommend Granny Teresa to any family that is hoping to find a daycare that promotes socio-emotional development and that feels like an extension of your home."

"My children love to go to Granny Teresa’s daycare. Mayza is so caring and loving with children and I trust and value her beautiful work with my little ones. It’s a very peaceful and educational environment, and I love how they can connect with nature through playing. If you are looking for an amazing, caring, loving daycare for your child, this is definitely the perfect place."

"My son has been going to Granny Teresa's for over 2 years now, starting from when he was only 6 months old. Mayza is warm, caring, creative, and kind. Her home inspires creativity and encourages play with nature! She does so many fun things with the kids from baking to gardening, painting and storytelling, the kids are never bored!"
