This daycare has been an absolute disappointment. The owner, Fabrizo, abruptly sold the center without proper communication or consideration for the families and staff who relied on it. We were just informed that the daycare will be closing two days earlier than planned — despite prior assurances that it would remain open through the full term. Parents were promised refunds for the lost days, but now we’re being told it could take up to 10 business days to receive the money. It’s incredibly frustrating that they were so quick to withdraw tuition payments from our accounts, yet so slow to…
This daycare is absolutely NOT considerate for their clientele. They sent out a notice of a permanent closure within a week of closing and then today sent another out saying “we’re officially closing today (7/9) and are unable to continue operations for the remainder of the week due to an unexpected teacher shortage.” Are you kidding meeeee? You gave them less than a week to find a new job and gave these poor parents less than a week to find new childcare. Absolutely ridiculous. They have also started packing up toys and materials so the kids that attended Monday-Wednesday of this week had…
We had such a wonderful experience touring Mariposa preschool, thanks to Anna Robinson! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and at ease. Their warmth patience and deep knowledge of the school's philosophy really stood out. She took the time to answer all our questions and gave us a genuine feel for the nurturing environment the school provides. We especially appreciated how she highlighted the children's creativity and independence in such a thoughtful way. If you're considering this preschool, I highly recommend taking a tour with Anna-Licia. She truly brings the spirit of…
I had very high hopes for this VPK program when we signed up, but from day one it was chaos. The first week, they didn’t even know which rooms the children were assigned to, and there was zero communication with parents—unfortunately, this lack of communication was a theme that continued throughout the year. Staff turnover was another huge issue. They went through at least three directors, multiple senior directors, and countless teachers and aides in just one year. When a teacher quit, they combined all the VPK classes together and said they’d separate them again once they found a…

I am deeply disappointed with the experience my child and I have had at this daycare. There have been multiple instances where my child’s belongings were misplaced. He was given another child’s blanket on several occasions, one of which resulted in him getting sick. This shows a concerning lack of attention to basic hygiene and care. The classroom staff, particularly Ms. Anna Robinson, have repeatedly demonstrated unprofessional behavior. She has sent my child home with soiled clothing placed directly into his backpack mixed with clean items instead of placing them in a separate bag first.…
Amazing Explorers is a wonderful daycare with excellent teachers and management. They always put the children's needs and safety first . Any questions or concerns are always addressed quickly by management. Teachers are amazing and truly care about the children in their care.
An amazing school and the director is wonderful! My wife and I have been looking for a good school for our son and it has been an adventure. We’re so happy we were able to find this school when we did. The curriculum is the best we’ve seen and Ms. Paola is an incredible infant teacher.
I have been continually impressed with Amazing Explorers Mariposa, where my grandchildren attend. Every school has its kinks to work out, but I have complete trust in the dedicated management team here. They work tirelessly to provide top-notch care and education for the children. My grandchildren love coming to school. The swift resolution of any issues by the management only speaks to their commitment to excellence. The recent change in leadership was a positive move. I highly recommend Amazing Explorers Mariposa to anyone seeking a nurturing and stimulating environment for their little…
