Pico Pre-School

This is a very good, small, old-​fashioned, non-​fussy, down-​to-​earth school /​daycare. I believe they take kids aged about 18 months to about 5 years. The teachers really care, and the «Mrs. C» mentioned in the negative review has now retired. (But I’ve got to say, she wasn’t so bad, just a slightly stern older lady). All the teachers currently there are sweethearts, especially Ms. Dolores who works with the younger kids. Patient as saints, and they really try and work with the kids who have issues. My son sure did; he’s a hyper-​sensitive sort and this low-​key, nurturing environment was just right for him.
If you’re a Gen-​X-​er, this school might remind you of your own childhood. They do tons of homestyle crafts, sing alongs, lots of outdoor time, and aren’t afraid to hug the kids who are upset, or let the kids just roam — or occasionally (gasp) watch a kiddie video like Leapfrog. They have long hours so they can function as a daycare too. Plus in the summer they offer swimming lessons and field trips (extra fee, naturally) for the older kids so they’re not too cooped up.
I’ll admit it may not be for everyone. If you’re looking for the latest glass-​and-​steel, clean-​lines, ergonomic, modern-​psychology, tiger-​mom type facility, look elsewhere. If you just want sweet, kind, laid-​back care and schooling for your very young ones, give these guys a go.

Ms. C***** is a HORRIBLE person. 3 of my family members attended this daycare center, and they were all scared of this lady. I didn’t know how bad it was until I took my child here. My child gets adapted quickly, and lady actually terrified her. The only reason why I took her here was for potty training, but took her out within a month.
All the other ladies seem pretty nice, but this particular lady scares children with her negative vibe. My child said she pushed her, and the lady forces herself to smile. I wouldn’t recommend this place until this lady is out of there.
p. s. My oldest child attended a public day-​care and they were very proffesional. I am COMPLETELY satisfied. The only bad thing is that they didn’t potty train. :/
