  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! ❤️

  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.

  Our 3 1/2 year old and baby born in October attend MSCA Franklin Park and we are so grateful for their care, attention, patience and structure. Our baby has Mrs. Jimenez and Mrs. Correa - he beams when he sees both of them and we know that he is in loving, attentive and capable hands all day. They report all of the details of his day in a timely manner so we can pick up where they leave off daily. They do enriching baby activities each day and are both a guiding light and responsive listeners when it comes to the ever changing nature of infant development (feeding and sleeping changes). Our toddler has Mrs. Almaraz and Mrs. Iverson and has learned more in the 4 months she has attended than she learned in the 2.5 years at our previous daycare. While she gets to play a lot (as she should), their curriculum is real and enriching. There is so much about MSCA to love. Thank you!!

  We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our daughter receives every day from Mrs. Gomez and Mrs. Jimenez. From the moment we walk in, it’s clear how much love, patience, and dedication they bring to their classroom. They’ve created such a warm, nurturing environment where our daughter feels safe, supported, and excited to learn. Mrs. Gomez and Mrs. Jimenez go above and beyond to make each child feel special. They take the time to understand every child’s personality, needs, and strengths, and it really shows in how our daughter has grown both socially and emotionally. We’ve seen her confidence blossom, and she’s always eager to share what she learned that day. Communication with them has also been wonderful—they keep us informed, share updates, and genuinely partner with us in supporting our daughter’s development. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and caring hands. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do and feel so lucky to have them as such an important part of our daughter’s early years.

  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.
