We wholeheartedly recommend Monique and Precious Treasures to any parent seeking exceptional care. Having been with her for three years—from the breastfeeding stage through toddlerhood—we can confidently say she is a dedicated partner in a child’s growth. Here is why we choose Monique every single time: • Tailored Environment: Monique is incredibly attentive to a child's evolving needs. She recently updated her space for our son, transitioning him to an age-appropriate cot and a dedicated table for meals and crafts. • Incredible Patience: Her patience is remarkable, particularly during milestones like potty training. Her encouragement helped our son transition from being comfortable only at home to being fully independent and confident. • Character & Independence: Under her guidance, our son has developed excellent self-care habits. He cleans up his toys, dresses himself, and eats independently—skills that have significantly boosted his self-esteem. • Enriching Experiences: The program goes far beyond the classroom. From trips to the Academy of Sciences and the Zoo to seasonal fun like the Pumpkin Patch, Monique provides the real-world experiences vital for development. • Proactive Communication: Monique is responsive and always prioritizes the child’s well-being. Even with language differences, she ensures communication is seamless and effective.

We feel so lucky to have found Monique! Our daughter has been at Precious Treasures for nearly a year, starting at six months old, and the care she's received has been exceptional. Monique brings a deep level of experience and expertise, and it's clear that she genuinely loves what she does. She's so thoughtful and proactive in tailoring each day to the kids, and in enriching and empowering them. What first drew us to Precious Treasures was Monique’s unique, experience-based curriculum. She regularly takes the kids on outings—to parks, the zoo, museums—which feels incredibly rare and meaningful at this age. Monique's approach gives our daughter the chance to explore, be curious, and build confidence in the world around her in a way that feels both safe and empowering. We also deeply appreciate how proactive Monique is about communication and development. She’s thoughtful about milestones and intentional about helping our daughter build skills and independence in an age-appropriate way. And because Precious Treasures is a small home daycare, our daughter gets an exceptional level of attention, care, and consistency. But honestly, the biggest proof is how much our daughter clearly loves being at Precious Treasures. When we pull up in the morning, she does a happy little dance! It doesn't get better than that : )

My son has been with Precious Treasures since he was about nine months old (now 2) and I am so happy with the care Monique provides for him. When he is with her I know he's being well cared for, is eating healthy and balanced meals, participating in all sorts of enrichment activities, and socializing with other great kids. Pre-pandemic, they were going on field trips almost every day to the zoos, BADM, the California Academy of Sciences, or community events. During the pandemic I have felt very safe in keeping him at Precious Treasures because we are close friends with all of the families and we became our own social bubble. Additionally, Monique is stringent about mask wearing when appropriate, and as a consequence my son will wear a mask with very little fuss (quite a feat for a 2 year old if you ask me!). I highly recommend Precious Treasures and all the expertise and care Monique brings to it.

We highly recommend the local gem that is Precious Treasures. Monique has provided the best care possible care for our 3 year old daughter over the past 1 1/2 years with plenty of educational opportunities, social and emotional lessons thoughtfully mixed in and of course lots of fun. Monique cares so much about the children and puts a ton of work and thought into every detail of her program, getting even more creative with limited options during COVID times. Monique has always demonstrated the highest of cleanliness standards, and is keeping up with the frequently changing regulations during the pandemic to ensure her program is in compliance and the kids and parents are up to speed. We also like the helpful text message updates and photos to get insights into what the kids are up to. Our daughter loves going to Precious Treasures and we couldn't be happier to have a trusted place for her to spend her weekdays and be part of this genuinely friendly community. Happy to share more information if you have questions.
