Casa Del Niño has been such an amazing experience for my daughter and our family for the last two…read moreyears. From the first day we toured the school it felt like we were home. I felt welcomed by the entire staff and everyone made my daughter feel comfortable while touring the classrooms. Casa has been an ENCOURAGING, FUN AND SAFE environment for my daughter. The teachers and staff have been kind, understanding and attentive to us throughout our entire time. Here are some of my thoughts: [Location] We ABSOLUTELY love the location! The school is beautifully designed to honor the Montessori values (Outdoor learning, gardening, etc.) The classrooms are setup to foster rigorous, self-motivated growth for our children in all areas of their development. The shops and restaurants close by are very kid friendly. My daughter is regular at Bottle & Bean. And, parents make an effort to get together there for coffee, etc. [Staff + Teachers] The teachers go above and beyond to ensure that our kids feel seen, safe, treated with kindness and are developing at their natural pace. My daughter has improved SO much in math, writing and Spanish since attending Casa. I cannot tell you enough how her teachers have truly been invested in her development. She is sent home with reading and math practices daily. It is important to HIGHLIGHT that my daughter understands and speaks Spanish. As parents we are strongly encouraged to work with our children at home to build on what they learn at school. [Families] I have met some of THE BEST parents at Casa Del Niño. We honor, respect and love all of our backgrounds. Many of us work to keep our kids connected outside of school because they genuinely love and care for one another. [Student Engagement] Our kids are celebrated every year when teachers host a "celebration of life" to honor their birthdays. It is one of the most thoughtful experiences my daughter has ever had at any school. The kids get to participate in it which is think is a great way to deepen their appreciation for one another. Last fall (2022) we had an AMAZING fall festival and where all students, staff and families got together for face painting, crafts, donations (created peace packs to hand out to those in need), outdoor play, a photo booth AND MORE! The teachers go ABOVE AND BEYOND to thoroughly and respectfully celebrate all cultures and ethnicities. This was important for me as a Black parent raising a Black child. I love the student and family engagement! Casa Del Niño is THE Spanish Immersion Montessori to school to attend. All of my questions, ideas and concerns have always been addressed promptly, kindly, and handled with care. We love it here and I believe you will too!

The Chandler School District will not abide by a 504 plan, there is a lot of bullying and their…read morepolicy is a joke that's why student's don't report bullying. Sexual harassment from male student's to female student's, again the policy is joke. They don't care about your child's safety on campus, mental health, they don't handle situations like they should, and molestation by teachers towards student's. Resource officer's are suppose to have your safety and student's safety a priority. The resources officers will have the teacher's and school's back and won't do their policing job. They just let a teacher leave instead of firing the teacher, they didn't report the teacher to the state. The resource officer didn't handle the situation like an officer should. Shout out to that family, prayers during this time. The day I pulled my daughter from Basha four other families also were pulling their kids out of the Chandler School District. When you observe this then you know there are serious problems. I ended up pulling my daughter out of Chandler completely, and put her into an on line school. I filed a formal complaint in March 2023 and I was told I would get a response and still waiting for a response. Sent emails to get a response and nothing. They just don't care! I am a teacher, I know what is legal and what isn't. I was a former Chandler student myself, did my student teaching in Chandler, worked for Chandler. I am so disappointed!

This was the only center in the area open at 530 unfortunately. They hire young kids that you and I would question their parenting skills and life choices and they are the ones watching the kids. Several times went to pick up child and it was close to 100 degrees outside and my child was red faced and was dehydrated. I had to tell them to make sure he had water. Several times I would pick him up and he would have dirty diper. I finally said something about it and they would change him when I got their. Chips and salsa for a snack on a regular basis. Totally unacceptable. They are lazy and do the bare minimum. They put on a show when parents come to pick up the kids by putting on contemporary soft music in the lobby area and put a bowl of apples out. This place is a joke and they should be shut down.

My daughter started going to Ocotillo Kindercare when she was 2 and was in Ms Susan's class. I was…read moreso nervous handing over my child to daycare but Susan and the rest of the staff really helped us with the transition. They are open from 05:30 to 18:30. They are the only daycare in the area that has hours that work with my extended shift work. My daughter is now 5 and back to having Ms Susan as a teacher again. She's transitioned through 4 rooms and will be heading to elementary school in July. We plan to us the after school program then too to ease with the transition of a new school. My main requirements when we chose Kindercare were that the hours fit within my schedule - my daughters safety - her happiness - and her intellectual growth. I have always felt my daughter was kept safe. When she was still in diapers she was always clean and never rashed. This was a concern for me because of her sensitive skin. For the most part she was happy, but like all tiny humans she's had great days and grumpy days. If I had a "wish list" for Kindercare it would be for more structured learning. Although, I can honestly say she's learning and growing being there as it is now. I feel confident that she is prepared to start Kindergarten in July. The staff has been so friendly during drop off and pick up. I always feel like they genuinely like my daughter. I really appreciate that when I have had a concern and raised an issue that I was taken seriously. And I saw immediate results or they let me know the next week what the findings were. Ex: Speed bumps in the parking lot, Bullying, Poor class content, etc. They even sat down and talked with me when my FIL was going through the Stage4 terminal cancer and I was feeling overwhelmed. I was a little surprised when I saw the poor reviews today on yelp. I'm not affiliated or friends with anyone at Kindercare, I just genuinely like it. I have always felt confident and secure having her stay there when I have to work. We love our "daycare family"! They are such a huge part of our life.
