Upon entering the daycare at age 1 we saw him transforming into independed little person and it was fascinating to see how much knowledge he brought home each day at such young age. Any learning was incorporated into fun games or activities and some of the teachers we had should have gotten an award for going all out on transforming the classroom based on the theme fo the month. Baby #2 entered CA at age 4 months and I had absolutely no fear or hesitation trusting the staff with my child. Those ladies are on top of their game and they keep you informed with messages and photos throughout the day. Even infants have music and yoga classes! Side note director and the staff were extremely patient and supportive when my kid was going though prolonged potty training transition, delayed speech, etc. They also recognized and encouraged his positive qualities. Each child is different and unique and from my observation staff recognizes and utilizes different approaches. My son's class graduated from CA knowing all pre-K material (based on conversations with other parents) and all the learning was done though play, songs and fun. If a child gets upset the daycare is closed for the weekend or holiday, that pretty much tells you how they feel about going there :)

They keep you updated on an app multiple times a day about your child's naps, feeding, and activities. The space itself is big, open, bright, clean and safe. The children were clearly happy and well taken care of every time we were there. The materials are natural and even the paint is homemade. We visited several daycares in the area and this one was by far our favorite. Our 10 month old daughter loved going everyday. She didn't even want to leave at the end of the day! If you're looking, for a safe, clean, loving, nurturing, warm environment, with a staff you can trust, you cannot beat this daycare.

I enrolled my son last September when he was 2 years and 3 months old. Like any parent dropping…read moretheir child off at daycare for the first time, our first drop-off was emotional. Ms. Angie kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me that he was in great hands. At the time, my son had a slight speech delay. Within just two weeks of starting at Ms. Angie's DayCare, he was coming home with new words every day. He went from saying one or two words to speaking in full sentences. Not only did his speech and language improve tremendously, but he also learned Spanish, which was a huge bonus for our family! Ms. Angie's DayCare offers so many fun and engaging activities, including yoga, music, and arts and crafts. When the weather is nice, the children go on community walks and enjoy trips to the park, which my son absolutely loved. I highly recommend Ms. Angie's DayCare to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child. Ms. Angie, Ms. Maria, and Ms. Marisol; thank you for everything you do for the children each and every day. Your kindness, patience, and dedication truly make a difference, and we are so grateful for the love and care you've shown our son.

Choosing a daycare for your child is one of the hardest decisions a parent can make, and I can…read morehonestly say enrolling my son at Ms Angie's daycare was one of the best decisions I've made. From the very beginning, the staff welcomed my son with open arms and made him feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. As a mother, there is no greater comfort than knowing your child is being cared for by people who genuinely love what they do, and that is exactly what I found here. The growth I have seen in my son during his time at this daycare has been incredible. He has learned so much academically, socially, and emotionally. Every day he came home with new skills, new stories, and a smile on his face. It quickly became a place he looked forward to going, and that speaks volumes about the environment the staff has created. The teachers and caregivers have always been kind, patient, communicative, and attentive. They truly treat the children as if they were their own. The love, dedication, and hard work they put into caring for each child does not go unnoticed. Although we are moving on due to financial circumstances, leaving is bittersweet because this daycare has meant so much to our family. My son has made wonderful memories here, and I will always be grateful for the role the staff played in his early childhood development. Thank you all for everything you've done for Rayan and for being such an important part of our journey. We will always look back on our time here with gratitude and fond memories. -- Chanel & Rayan

They have healthy food for breakfast, lunch and snack time. I just cannot express how much these people have become so special to myself and my daughter. My daughter has been in their care since she was 18 months old. She is now 4 years old and "graduated" from this daycare, which was a sad moment at the goodbye party. We will definitely be back to visit often. I love this place and all the people...Miss Jenny, Grandma Bibi, Miss Elaina, Miss Gurly, Miss Chelsea.
