We've been sending our son to this daycare for 6 months now, and we love it! The teachers are wonderful, our son loves them (Ms Sasa and Ms Andrea in the infant room are his favorites), they communicate well with us and they do fun activities with the kids. We especially love that MB provides lunch and snacks (many other daycares we looked at don't provide food at all) and that they're very flexible about late…

Johnny Dang · 5/5 on Google · a year agoWe are very happy with Meaningful Beginnings on Taraval. The staff is warm, caring, and professional, and the facilities are excellent. Our son has a great time every day - he’s learning a lot, enjoying fun activities, and getting plenty of outdoor play. The meals are good quality and well-balanced. Overall, we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended!
