The entire staff is so genuinely connected and caring regarding the kids, as well as the parents. Everything is so clean and organized. Beautiful lesson plans are melded together with lots of fun play time, and the children are always so engaged in whatever activity is happening at the time. It absolutely makes my day each time I visit. Theater, music, and dance classes give your kids the opportunity to learn new things, while exploring how to express themselves through performing arts! I am constantly amazed at how bright, wonderful, and talented everyone is at Building Kidz!

They send kids home for no reason with fake illness, have zero classroom management skills, do not understand normal child development, and have the most unreasonable expectations of young children.

Such a wonderful daycare! My daughter has attended for the last year and it has been a great…read moreexperience. We started her after a major move and Curious Angels helped her feel secure and settled pretty much immediately. The teachers are truly outstanding and clearly love their work. Our daughter loves going there every day, has formed beautiful friendships with her classmates, strong bonds with her teachers, and is learning so much. They have an outdoor emphasis and the children learn to care for chickens and bunnies, among all the other things they do during their day. The daycare uses an app to communicate with parents - we get pictures throughout the day which helps us talk to her about her activities in the evening. Communication with the teachers is excellent. It's a happy, joyous place where the children can play, learn, trust, and enjoy this special time in their life. I give Curious Angels, the teachers, and the owner my highest recommendation.

I'm So grateful our daughter was able to get in after a few months on the waitlist. I would keep her here till Kindergarten if I could but we had to move for work. They are so loving and caring full of years of experience. Almost everyday she would come home with an art project and had so much room to run around and play. Sheryl made healthy meals everyday for the girls, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, pancakes, you name it. My daughter made best friends there and learned all about the farm animals Sheryl has goats, chickens, horses and even a pony! It was a magical place for her to grow and learn. Thank you so much Serenity Creek.

The very first time I dropped my daughter off for childcare was at Serenity Creek. And it was by…read morefar the best decision I have ever made! My daughter is smarter, more independent, and more loving for having spent the last 1.5 years with Sherryl on her gorgeous farm. The only reason why my daughter is leaving Serenity Creek is because we are moving out of state - otherwise, I would have kept here there for as long as possible!! She wakes up every morning and talks non-stop about how excited she is to go to 'school' and runs to the door when we get there. I have to chase her down to say goodbye to me. I can't say enough about what a warm and nurturing environment Serenity Creek is! If I could pack Sherryl and take her with me, I would!!

Patricia, the owner, puts her heart into her business and it shows! Fabulous fresh baked pastries on Wednesdays, fresh delicious home cooked meals for the kids every day, and a comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated home! Great backyard play area and special little holiday and birthday parties. They use gentle, firm, consistent discipline principles and are very communicative with us. Patricia is very easy to reach by phone or email as well. Its hard to get a spot here and you pay a little more, but the care my daughter gets here is top notch and worth every penny!

Today my daughter graduated from Crib's day care and is ready to start summer camp. I cannot say…read moreenough about how much I appreciate everything Patricia and her teachers did for my daughter! They provided a safe and fun environment for my daughter to grow and become a confident individual. What was most important to me, my daughter felt comfortable there and loved her teachers, especially Patricia, Sylvia Mariel and Elizabeth. As a matter of fact, on a daily basis, she refused to leave the daycare unless she gave Patricia a goodbye hug. Additionally, this was the first daycare out of three that my daughter attended, where it was ok to mess up/have an accident. She was helped, told it was ok and encouraged to try again. It was so important to me because in my daughter's previous daycare, she was yelled at and shamed when she had an accident while she was potty training. On days my daughter was sad for whatever reason, Patricia went out of her way to make her feel special by making her a helper in the kitchen/having talks with her/drawing special pictures, writing letters, whatever it took to cheer her up. The food at the day care always looked and smelled amazing and was home made. My daughter constantly brought home fun projects that she worked on with her teachers. I always felt that Patricia went above and beyond for my daughter and I feel so lucky that I found Crib's daycare! My daughter already said that she can't wait to go back and visit!

That person seems to give only diatribe reviews which is unfortunate. We are SO happy to have Under the Mighty Oak daycare in our neighborhood!

Kay and Minnie are so great with the kids and follow all of our dietary instructions we give. UTMO was recommended by close friends, and now we see why it is such a great daycare! We are very thankful to UTMO!

My son has been going to sunny day care for a year now and what better day to write a review for…read moreMs. Tahira on teacher's appreciation day. My son started going at the age of 2 and i am so blessed that i found this day care .The way my son adjusted in just one week it was beyond my expectations. The meals are provided , kids have lots of toys to play, their outdoor play area is secured and child proof and learning is good . It's been a year my son is already familiar with numbers , alphabets , colors etc. Ms Tahira ensures to provide safe and healthy environment for all the kids and the best part is she keeps us posted with kids pictures everyday for all day long. I bet no other day care does that . My elder daughter went to different day care and it was really good but cant beat the experience i am having with Ms Tahira's services. The best part for me is the flexibility of timings .I am a stay home mom and i didn't want a 9-5 strict drop off and pick up hrs for my child, i wanted to keep it easy going and flexible timings for him and this day care really aligned with my need. I inform Ms Tahira every morning what time i am bringing him in and it works so smoothly for me. She is really understanding and attentive towards a child need. The last thing is the value for money you pay here is more than you can get in the bay area. The staff is really nice and caring too. For my son its a home away from home. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a home based day care with a home like care.

Our daughter started at Sunny Daycare at 10 months old, and as first-time parents, we were…read morenaturally nervous about her adjusting. However, talking with Tahira immediately put our minds at ease. Her love and care for children are palpable, and she took the time to truly understand what would be helpful for our daughter and her needs. Tahira and her helpers consistently went above and beyond. They were instrumental in helping our daughter with her naps, which initially took a lot of time and effort. We also greatly appreciated the regular photos and updates that kept us informed of her progress, and their flexibility in incorporating our suggestions was incredibly reassuring. Now, after 10 months, our daughter is always excited to go to daycare! She's very fond of her teachers, Tahira, Veer, and Liz, and loves playing with all the other children. The kids usually go outside to play at least once a day, and Sunny Daycare provides nutricious snacks and lunch. They keep the children engaged with a variety of fun activities such as coloring, bubble time, singing rhymes, and dancing. It's delightful how our daughter comes home with a new nursery rhyme nearly every day! We're grateful for the loving and supportive environment Sunny Daycare provides.

Belen and her family are incredibly warm, loving, and attentive. They took wonderful care of our son--especially with his food allergies--and we always felt he was safe and in caring hands. Communication was excellent: they checked in each morning and shared thoughtful updates throughout the day. As a bonus, he even picked up some Spanish! The space is consistently clean and welcoming, with a lovely backyard playground. The homemade meals are fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully adapted when needed--honestly, he often ate better there than at home. They also celebrate birthdays and special moments, making every child feel seen and loved. It truly feels like an extended family. We're so grateful for the care and love our son received here and highly recommend Belen's Childcare.

The teacher-to-child ratio is much better than most daycares, so he gets amazing personal attention. Belen and her team truly care for the kids as if they were their own, and our son adores every single family member. As a play-based daycare, they've created a safe, kind, and nurturing environment where he has a blast. Plus, our son has always been a tough kid to get to eat, but their fresh, home-cooked meals and patient help mean he is always well-fed and happy. The peace of mind they give us is priceless. We highly recommend Belen and her incredible family!
