From the owner: There Is Nothing More Important Than A Child's Early Years…read more Our PhilosophyThere is nothing more important than a child's early years because the adult they will someday become is shaped by those first few years of life. All children attending child care deserve a positive, consistent, warm and nurturing educational environment. At Central Valley Child Care we strive to create a peaceful environment where children are encouraged to function independently, be respectful of themselves, others and the environment, and learn to make positive choices. Parent communication is a very important part of our work with children. Our teachers talk with parents daily about their child's progress and will always look to parents for insight and advice on how to best work with their child. Our CurriculumOur Preschool classes use The Creative Curriculum when planning our learning activities. Our classrooms are designed for independent learning opportunities. Curriculum is planned around the developmental needs and interests of the children enrolled in our Preschool. Children in our care will learn and grow socially, emotionally, physically, and academically through the structure of the environment, play and age appropriate learning activities. Our long term goal for each child is for them to be socially and academically ready for Kindergarten. Please visit our website by clicking the link above, or call us for more information!

We loved the staff, curriculum, and that our son always came home with something he had learned or created that day with a daily sheet of activities, food, etc. Each room has at least 1 long term staff member with a few that come and go being that it's a large military community which is expected. The director Renee is great as well with communication, dedication to the program, and I always saw her helping out all levels when I randomly stopped by or at pick ups. Even though my son has now started Kindergarten he frequently asks to visit his previous teachers. I'm so happy our son was able to attend M&M!

My daughter attended only for six months in the infant room but I thought the staff and director…read morewas great. The director was very helpful and understanding. She helped me with all the paperwork to start my daughter's care (military family with childcare assistance). And my emails were always addressed promptly and all the staff were so approachable. The caregivers in the infant room were so caring and fun. I loved that Ms. Simone always talked constantly to the babies. My daughter was very attached to Ms. Ellen. We were only there for 6 months due to a move. We miss this Martha and Mary and all the staff though!

Once the director in 2024 left everything was turned upside down. From the interim directors to the 14 different teachers that went through the infant room (new and existing employees) it was madness. It felt like they were trialing the new teachers in the infant room. Come to find out, a teacher walked out (from the infant room) and neglected all the babies until someone realized from hearing them crying (4-5 babies) and stepped in. If I had known how to report things like this to DCYF, I would have immediately. I even had a teacher (from a different age group who was actively caring for children when I arrived) follow me to the infant room and harass me about why I didn't respond to the photo they sent of an injury my child received under the direct care of that teacher. Not to mention for getting shamed by them for not wanting my kid to eat the trash food they provided. I know kitsap county has the WORST availability for daycare, please do not send your children here. I've also edited my review to add that there were many time where my child hadn't been fed or given a nap but they would complain that he was difficult those days because he was upset all day. I literally looked at them and said "I wonder why when he hasn't been fed on time or had any sleep". Once at pickup they even said "oh yea, hes hungry" because they noticed they missed his next bottle. I don't completelt blame the teachers because if their management had provided adequate support, this may not have happened. Check google reviews too!! Older children have escaped from an unlocked/broken fence gate and ended up in the street.

From the moment I connected on the phone with Tammy (who has sadly moved on to another job since then)I knew this was where we were meant to be. She and all the staff Made us feel so welcome from the start. My daughter loves going to school each day and has flourished since starting here. As an educator myself it makes me so happy to see her love her teachers and have such a positive first school experience. I know she is in great hands when I am working. I am honestly shocked that they do not have a higher star rating. I know not every preschool is a fit for everyone so you have to find what works for you, but If you are looking for childcare in the Kitsap area I urge you to check them out for yourself. I know I didn't regret it. Thank you Central Valley Child Care for all you do! Ps: My daughter would like to leave her own review. She says "I like school. I like when I play games. They do some dancing."

If you are considering enrolling your child here, I would encourage you to proceed with caution…read more Before our child started, we clearly communicated to the staff that he struggles with attention and discussed his behavioral challenges in detail. We were reassured that they would work with him, support his progress, and that there was no need for concern. However, after only three days of attendance, we received a phone call at pickup informing us--without any prior warning or discussion--that it would be his last day. If you have a 3-year-old with similar behavioral challenges, I would recommend taking their assurances with caution and making sure you have a backup plan in place, as unfortunately we did not. If there was an option for 0 stars I'd pick that.

Everyone seemed very nice and although everyone was masked and provided appropriate safety measures on the tour, my child's teacher and at least two other individuals that work here do not believe in wearing a mask to protect the vulnerable children during this deadly pandemic. We had to un-enroll her after just two days here. To me, this demonstrated a poor lack of judgment among other things. Why wouldn't you want to protect the children you're teaching? I spoke with the director and she apologized and refunded all of our money. The issue with the staff not masking is complicated as they claimed a religious exemption to masking (which isn't a real thing)! We're two years into his pandemic. Wearing a mask isn't hard. I'm a nurse and wear one all day while caring for patients. It's not hard to protect yourself and others. It amazes me that I even have to write this right now but I want others to be aware before enrolling here in case keeping their children safe at preschool is a concern for them.
