I don't trust many people with my child, but I know when he is spending time here, he is getting the same love and attention he would at home. Some of my son's favorite activities at The Wildflower Patch Daycare include sensory play, imaginative play, and reading with Ms Leah!

She has a great set up for babies, toddlers, and big kids. She also does field trips to the park, Big Break, etc. She makes great meals and snacks that are colorful and tasty. We have been with her for over 6 months and have a 1 yr old and 3.5 year old. She texts pics almost everyday. My kids always seem happy when they talk about Leah's home. My 3 yr old was in a daycare center prior to Leah's for about a month and she cried EVERY day when I dropped her off and would say no one talked to her all day long. Day 2 at Leah's and no tears. She said Leah's is fun and everyone talks to her (which my child talks a lot and loves to engage in conversation) so this was a great fit. She also loves her friends and all the 3-4 year olds seem to get along pretty well!

    My daughter has attended Kiddie Academy of Oakley for 2 years now. I've watched my daughter grow…read moreand become more independent. I love the separated class rooms by the age group. I love all the family events. I also enjoy the teachers and director Ms. Abi. My daughter is now starting the PreK class room which I am excited to see how much more she learns. I would recommend this school to anyone but especially if you want teachers who are passionate and patient.

    My 2-year-old previously attended Kiddie Academy, and unfortunately our experience was deeply…read moredisappointing and emotionally distressing. From the beginning, I received daily phone calls about my child's behavior. Instead of partnering with us or offering constructive support, the communication felt negative, with my child repeatedly being labeled as "bad." At just 2 years old, this was extremely concerning. What ultimately crossed the line was when the center contacted my child's father and informed us that our child was not welcome to return due to his behavior, without attempting a collaborative plan or meaningful intervention. To make matters worse, my child once came home with a chipped front tooth. When I asked what had happened, I was told they would get back to me. The response I eventually received was simply that "he falls a lot," with no incident report or clear explanation. As a parent, this was unacceptable. After leaving Kiddie Academy, we enrolled our child elsewhere, where he immediately began thriving. That center provided exactly what he needed patience, structure, and understanding and even recommended a smaller childcare setting, which made a world of difference. This confirmed that the issue was not my child, but the environment. I cannot fully express the emotional toll this placement took on me as a mother. I struggled to focus at work and was constantly worried about my child's well-being while he was in their care. I strongly encourage parents to ask detailed questions about how behavioral concerns and injuries are handled, and how communication with families is prioritized, before enrolling their children here. If i could rate no starts i would.

My 3 year old daughter has been…read moregoing to Smart Start since she was 14 months old and tomorrow will be her last day as we are relocating. Since day one she has been under the phenomenal care of the staff, lead by Ms. Rosa and Ms. Trish. She has learned so much and has exhibited such intellect all I can do is offer praise. From being non-verbal, she is now able to speak and sing in both English and Spanish. She can identify sight words and always brings home the most amazing projects. Her socialization and conflict resolution skills are at a level I have never seen. She can interact with all types of kids in any setting. When there are issues she has learned to defuse situations better than most adults. I am constantly in awe of her language capacity, her task management and her independence. This I owe in large part to the teachers at Smart Start. I highly recommend this school. Trusting people to take care of your most precious assets is no easy feat. I hope the crew over at Smart Start know how much I love and appreciate them. I can only pray she continues to receive this level of care and attention at her new school.

When we went to tour the school, my son seemed instantly comfortable and didn't want anything to do with us which was how we knew this was the place for him. He was usually a Velcro child and we couldn't be further than an arms reach from him without him freaking out. The school is always VERY clean, decorated so nicely with kids artwork and so cute for holidays, and they have a sweet chicken that loves the kids! All of the staff is so sweet, patient, and understanding. My son had a hard time adjusting to not being home with me all day and was later diagnosed with autism and they never once made him feel less than. Instead, they were able to pick up on his needs like needing his schedule to stay the same, how to talk to him when he's doing something he shouldn't without him freaking out, and helped in his potty training journey. He is now almost 5 and aging out soon but I couldn't be more grateful for everything they have done for him. Our daughter is currently enrolled since she turned 18 months and everyday she comes home with new words (she just turned 2), loves the staff, and loves her friends and environment there. If you choose a preschool for your child , let it be this one, you won't be disappointed.

    I want to be very honest with our feedback for the benefit of moms/dads that would come across this…read moreYelp page as we also relied on reviews when we were looking for a daycare 8 months ago. Teacher Sheila runs this place and she is truly exceptional. She's very organized, patient and attentive. You could also tell that she is compliant to the state regulations and makes sure her staff is vetted, which puts our minds at ease. They all seem to be very nurturing and genuinely care about the kids' individual needs. When my daughter was new, they gave her enough time until she was fully adjusted to their structure. When we had a baby back in November and my toddler started acting out --- they were extra patient with her, held her when she cried until she was back to her normal bubbly self. When another kid was acting out and accidentally scratched our daughter's face, she informed us immediately and provided the necessary care for our daughter. The facility is always clean with appropriate safety measures. They do a lot of engaging, age-appropriate activities for the kids, with time indoors (storytime, crats, etc) and outdoors too (outside play) when the weather permits. Teacher Sheila maintains good communication with the parents, consistently providing updates and sending pictures around afternoon. When I pick up my daughter, she seems to be always happy, showing us whatever art work they did for the day. Meals and learning materials are all provided for, that truly makes it convenient for us busy parents. This is my child's second daycare and we feel that our child is getting high quality care from Teacher Sheila, Ms. Faye and Ms. Susan. The only con I could think of, and this is very minor, is there is a bit of a wait time when parents ring the door to pick up the kids. I hope they will let the parents in first before prepping the kids so we don't have to wait outside in the cold or the hot summer sun :) Overall, we have a very positive experience and we highly recommend this daycare. I would give them 10 stars if we could.

Ms. Sheila along with Ms. Susan and Ms. Faye were so wonderful not only to my little boy Atlas but to all the kids that were under their care. Ms. Sheila's communication is excellent and the bond that she and Atlas developed is unremarkable. This was Atlas's first time in daycare and we thought he would hate it but he LOVED it. With Ms. Sheila's attentive care and lessons that she shared with Atlas and the kids, he would also share it with us at home. To Ms. Sheila, Atlas always brings up his memories with you and always tells us that you're his favorite teacher! Thank you so much again!
