Parent Reviews
I have been through several school and daycare facility tours, and NOTHING compares to the level of care and detail that Mrs Nubia has in her program. From the first moment I visited her facilities, I automatically felt that my child would be safe in there, all her certificates and licenses are up to date, she even has a commercial fire alarm in her residence! I always observe the adults and kids’ reactions whenever I visit a facility, I could tell she loves the kids as if they were her own. She has almost 20 years of experience in the education field and is very caring, patient, and communicative. I decided to enroll my child right away and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made. Note that this is NOT a daycare facility; this is an actual Preschool/Pre-K where children are learning through different activities and not the typical classroom environment. Her program is inspired by Montessori, Reggio and Waldorf programs which incorporates learning through play, I’m always blown away by the diversity and uniqueness of the activities prepared for the kids on a weekly basis. It certainly takes a lot of time, effort, and creativity to incorporate this program. Mrs Nubia is fully bilingual, so my child learns both Spanish and English as well. Another concern I had as a parent is the type of food my child is consuming outside of home. I am thankful that Mrs Nubia is very conscious about nutrition, she serves whole fruits, vegetables, and homemade nutritious meals (she is also SerVSafe Food Handler’s certified!). Lastly, Children’s Nature Academy is truly living up to its name. The kids are always exploring outdoors (they have their own garden and playground) so their clothes are always dirty 😊
Thank you for your review Doris! Appreciate it very much. Your little one holds a special place in my heart! 💛
I worked with Nubia when she was previously an administrative assistant at my school. She is very organized and always on top of what needs to be done. When working with students and parents, Nubia always keeps the student’s best interest in mind. She is a great communicator and works well with others. She is also enthusiastic about teaching young children through fun and exciting hands on experiences in nature.
Appreciate your review Ms. Molly! I miss both office & the extracurricular after school STEAM class! 💛
Nubia is a fantastic caregiver! I worked with her at Hoag Hospital Child Care Center. Nubia is a very patient, and caring teacher. She works well with a group of children, and is also able to meet individual children's needs. She is creative, and an energetic fun teacher.
Thank you for your review Ms. Joanie! Appreciate it very much and miss working with you at Hoag! 💛
This school is so absolutely phenomenal, from the Montessori style set up to the owner. I worked with her at the Hoag Child Care Center for many years and she has the biggest heart. She will love your babies like they’re her own. I would feel 100% comfortable leaving my babies with her. If you’re looking for a safe, loving environment that your child will thrive in … this is most definitely the right place for you!!
Thank you for your review Ms. Alicia! Miss working with you at Hoag Hospital! 💛
