Our little one started here in August of last year and we could not be more pleased. Ms. Bermudez and Ms. Contreras have guided our little to develop their fine motor skills, letter recognition, and other academic skills. However, their biggest contribution are the invaluable gifts they bestow on all the children in their care: a sense of belonging; the certainty of being seen, known, and accepted; and an overall love for school. We feel lucky to be part of the Mary Sears family and to experience the care and magic of room A-3.
We cannot say enough good things about Mary Sears! Our kids are so happy here. The teachers are amazing—Mrs. Almaraz and Mrs. Iverson are super kind and patient! Ms. Bermudez and Ms. Contreras are fun and extra-creative! The teachers and staff here truly go above and beyond every day and care about each child, taking the time to learn their preference, what works well for each of them both for emotionally and academic development. All the team is great, Mrs. Marquez and Ms. Figarelli run the place smoothly, Mrs. Solano prepares fresh food daily, Mrs. Claudio and Ms. Ortiz run an excellent reading program and musical performance, Ms. Dominguez is always ready to help and I can forget to mention Ms. Chavez that has been nurturing our kids since their first steps! It is clear how much thought and energy they put into creating a nurturing and engaging environment. The classrooms are well design; the activities are great and always changing. Our kids are constantly bringing home projects and talking about what they learned. From their daily papers, growing butterflies to pony rides. There is a perfect mix of learning, creativity, and fun. It is a relief knowing our kids are in a safe, positive, and engaging environment. We are grateful for the wonderful teachers and would absolutely recommend Mary Sears to other families! ❤️

So grateful we are for the wonderful teachers who care for our daughter every day.
Ms. Gomez has been an amazing teacher to Esther this year. She is loving, patient, and always makes us feel comfortable knowing our daughter is learning and being cared for in a positive environment.
Ms. Jimenez will always hold a special place in our hearts as Esther’s first teacher. Even now, she still shows so much kindness and attention whenever she sees her.
Ms. D. is always so friendly and caring during pickup time, and we appreciate the warmth and positivity she brings every day.
Thank you all for everything you do for the kids and families. Your hard work and dedication truly do not go unnoticed! 🌟
We’ve been part of the Mary Sears family since early 2022, and it has truly been a joy. Both of our children have gone through the program, and we’ve never had a single issue — only gratitude. It’s been especially meaningful to see our youngest with the same wonderful teachers our oldest had.
The level of care and engagement from Ms. Chavez, Mrs. Szygulski, and Mrs. Dominguez is unmatched. Our children have learned so much — our 1.5‑year‑old is already singing her ABCs and counting to 10 in both English and Spanish!
We also want to give a special shout‑out to the amazing cook, Mrs. Solano, who has even sent home tacos for our oldest because she loved them so much.
The whole team is caring, flexible, approachable, and truly invested. The school is spotless and feels incredibly safe. We’re so grateful for everything Mary Sears has done for our family.
We feel so lucky to have found MSCA! From the moment we walk in, you can feel how warm and welcoming the environment is—drop-offs are honestly one of the best parts of our day.
Mrs. Solano, who prepares breakfast in the mornings, is always so kind and makes a point to stop what she’s doing to say good morning. At check-in, my daughter (1.5yo) is always excited to wave to Mrs. Marquez and Ms. Figarelli.
Since her classroom is at the end of the hall, we’ve gotten used to doing our little “morning rounds,” and we’re always greeted by Mrs. Claudio and Ms. Ortiz along the way. Passing the infant room is another highlight—my daughter always stops to wave and blow kisses to Mrs. Jimenez, Mrs. Correa, Mrs. Gomez, Mrs. Dominguez, and Mrs. Zepeda and excitedly says “baby!!”
By the time we make it to the toddler room, she lights up when she sees Ms. Chavez waiting for her. Even though she’s still mostly babbling, you can tell she’s trying to show and tell them things—like her outfit or new shoes—and they really engage with her.
As a parent, there’s nothing more reassuring than seeing how happy she is at drop-off. She’s all smiles when she sees Mrs. Sygulski and Mrs. Dominguez, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring hands.
At pick-up, Ms. Russell and Ms. Sanchez always take the time to share how her day went and send her home with little pieces of artwork that we treasure. One of my favorite moments is that even after I pick her up, she’ll turn around on her own to wave goodbye and blow kisses to her teachers.
You can tell how much the staff genuinely care about the kids. We’re so grateful for everything they do to make our daughter feel safe, happy, and loved every day.
