We LOVE The Flower Child Day Care! My 2 year old has been attending for several months now. As a…read morefirst time mom nervous about anyone watching my baby, I have nothing but good things to say about Mrs. Rene & all of her Staff. She is very sweet and caring. She is a great child developer. She has moved our son through many milestones from talking and playing to usings manners and cleaning up. There is so much stimulation during the day that ensure our Son has a deep slumber during the night. She is very intuitive and understands each individual child and what their needs are. She is extremely reliable. For the whole time we have been enrolled in The Flower Child Day Care she has not shut down once outside of pre notified Holiday time off. We are so lucky to have found The Flower Child Day Car. It is a safe, fun, happy place for children and I highly recommend it. Thanks, Brittany H

This place goes above and beyond. This has been my daughters first and only daycare, and I am so…read moreglad that she goes here. They constantly have events, photoshoots, and little activities going on for the kids and sometimes the parents to come in and enjoy as well! My daughter had a hard time at first transitioning from constantly being home to going to daycare and they were all so patient with her during this transition phase even if it was hard. If you are in the area and need a daycare, time and time again I will recommend this place!

His social emotional skills developed here with the rest of the children and staffs. He made friendships that he still talks about today (he ended his time at Wisetots 2.5 months ago). The staffs are very helpful, nice, patient, and attentive. I was appreciative of the text messages to keep me updated about my son's time at daycare. Communication via text are prompt. You can communicate in person but it's more limited due to having multiple children around during pick up and drop off but can do a quick update. I find in home licensed daycare centers to be affordable and great for the value compared to corporated daycare centers. My child learned what he needed and we got the care we needed.

Ms. Rose and Ms. Mary are very attentive, loving, and nurturing. Their communication is incredible - If I ever had a question or wanted to know how my son was doing, they would reply promptly, with pictures, within minutes. Wisetots is affordable and I love how they offer hot breakfast, snacks, and lunch. They follow a curriculum and schedule and my son learned letters, numbers, and so much more. My son has a severe dairy allergy and Ms. Rose and Ms. Mary are well equipped to follow the dietary restrictions I outlined, which put me at ease. During my son's time at Wisetots, he grew so much in so many ways. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family!

Harvest House Daycare, led by Ms. Sylvia with the loving support of Ms. Joan and Papa, is truly a…read morehidden gem. From the moment you see the space, you can feel the difference -- her home and large backyard offer room for children to move, play, and grow in a calm, nurturing environment. It feels like family, not a crowded commercial center. The children are well cared for, fed fresh organic vegetables and even home-grown fruits, and they come home happy, clean, and secure every day. What truly sets Harvest House apart is the focus on early learning, especially reading and math. Ms. Sylvia follows an old-school, pen-and-paper approach that emphasizes literacy, numbers, and repetition over constant arts and crafts. I've had two daughters here -- my first (Delaney) attended from age 3 to 5, and my second (Henley) started as a newborn at just 2 months old and is still with Ms. Sylvia now at age 5, entering kindergarten next year. My youngest has already surpassed the kindergarten curriculum: she knew sight words by age 2.5, began reading by 3.5, and now reads at a second-grade level. When my first daughter was born, I called Harvest House Daycare when she was six months old and there was no space available. At the time, I enrolled her in an expensive, brand-name private school believing the higher price would guarantee better care and education. I later learned that branding and cost do not equal quality. The structure, academic focus, and individualized attention at Harvest House far exceeded what we experienced elsewhere. We were incredibly fortunate to later secure a spot, and both of my daughters thrived here academically, socially, and emotionally. The price is absolutely worth it when you consider the long-term growth, confidence, and academic advantage your child gains. With reliable hours from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., genuine care, and a strong academic foundation, Harvest House Daycare offers something rare -- a place where children are truly prepared for school and life, not just watched during the day.

They have become a second family and…read moremade it so easy as parents to find a sense of peace knowing our kiddos are being well cared for. All of my children have been with them since they were infants (2 months & 5 months old). Their day to day is structured which helps create a routine for the kids and they know what to expect each day. The program includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks which are all nutritious and my kids love (I give credit for my kiddos being great eaters, they love veggies, to the balanced meals they receive). Even from infancy formula is provided if needed along with food plans outlined once solids are introduced. Once old enough they facilitate a preschool program, my two year old can hold a pencil correctly and does his worksheets daily. The early introduction to these skills continue on to help prepare for kindergarten. We decided to keep our kids at Harvest House until they started kindergarten, and credit the curriculum and dedication they set in place of reading, sight words, and math to setting them up for success. My 8 and 5 yr old progressed at different paces but both felt more confidence going into kindergarten. In the eight years we have been with them they haven't been closed outside the Holidays and Vacation days outlined at the beginning of the year, providing us working parents with the reliability and stability needed. Harvest House has been a blessing for our family creating a safe, caring, and structured program for our kids. My eight year old still wants to go back to ZaZa's and Papa's on her school breaks. Truly could not recommend Harvest House more as top notch child care provider. Ainsley, Hadley, Dalton, Doug and Kali

I was so nervous to switch to daycare when our nanny share ended unexpectedly, but finding Mikka's…read moredaycare was a lifesaver. I quickly decided that the right daycare is even better than having a nanny. Mikka's home is bright, clean, and welcoming. We looked at so many daycares in dark basements that seemed like depressing places to spend the day. I got a good feeling from the moment I stepped inside Mikka's. Mikka is warm, caring, and patient. My son blossomed in her care, his language skills expanded exponentially, he made friends with the other kids, he learned table manners and was exposed to a wide variety of healthy foods, and most importantly he was always so excited to head to her house each morning. I was sad when my son graduated to preschool, but grateful for how well-prepared he was for that next step. And I can't wait to send my younger son to Mikka's in a few months!

When you first walk in, you will notice how clean and bright it is. The walls have beautiful art and pictures of the children. The toys are new, organized and forever evolving. Mikka caters and understands each child's individual needs. She is very alert about allergies, asthma, etc. Communication with parents throughout the day is A+++. If something is happening out of the norm with our little one, she always gave us a heads up even if a pick up isn't needed. When it is needed, we already have the heads up so it's not a surprise. There's always pictures and videos! Both our boys went to Mikka's and considered her family. Our youngest started with her at 4 months. We would've started him at 3 months if there was an opening. Overall, Mikka's has been a very nurturing and safe place for our kids to spend their most important growing years. Highly recommended!

Moore Learning was a beautiful experience for our daughter. As an educator myself, I was very keen…read moreon touring various preschools and looking for qualities that make me feel like my child is going to grow and is safe. Their philosophy is much more creative and evidence-based, promoting more independence and exploration which was refreshing compared to the other preschools I toured. The interior is very homey, clean, and creative. They are always making upgrades and changing it up, keeping it refreshed. The cost is comparable to other preschools I toured. The teachers are phenomenal. My girl had Ms. Emma, Ms. Tasha, and Ms. Esther. I love the clear communication, and they were all so patient and sweet but still had high expectations for the kiddos. Moore's uses an app to check in and out. I got so many adorable pictures of my girl throughout the day with updates on what she was doing and what she ate that made me feel at ease. Ms. Yasmeen is the assistant director, always at the site. She is so sweet and helpful. She loves the kids, always getting them little trinkets for special occasions and helping out in all areas. Moore's curriculum is very organized with themes changing each month like space, sea animals, cooking, and so on. The art is actually made by the students themselves to encourage creativity. By the end, my girl was drawing her whole family on many of the art projects she brought back. Quite a bit of focus on handwriting as well, which I appreciated. The kiddos get an abundance of playtime outside with all the cool obstacles and activities they have out there. Moore has many guest presenters like Dan the pirate who come and talk about their professions. My girl learned so much and would always tell me little facts that she learned at school. Moore's has a plethora of events throughout the year. My girl attended the Thanksgiving, Easter Egg Hunt, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day Tea Party and so on. There are many others such as the Trunk-or-Treat and pretty much something for every holiday. They also do free photoshoots with Santa and the Easter Bunny! Overall, I am overly pleased with the experience here. My girl made so many friends and even got invited to her first birthday party here from a classmate. I feel very blessed and thankful for Moore Learning and I highly recommend!!

We're really happy with our time at Moore so far with my 2 year old. At previous schools we'd get…read morenonstop phone calls about him not staying on his mat during nap, not handling transitions well, not interacting with kids the same way other kids do, playing with the dirt or bark too much while outside, etc. The teachers at Moore have done a beautiful job meeting him where he's at and providing an environment that lets him be himself while still learning how to be in a class environment. From day 1 with Moore we noticed a big difference. He's much more regulated, he actually naps (!!!), he's made friends and he genuinely enjoys going to school each day. The app allows for direct communication with his teacher if needed and we get updates all day on what he's up to. The teachers are friendly but still firm with the kids when needed which is great. They do a ton of activities including learning numbers, letters, their names, doing sensory activities, practicing fine and gross motor skills, etc. Moore isn't going to be your standard daycare center with pristine rooms and strict schedules. They're a daycare center with a home daycare feel. My son often comes home covered in dirt with shoes full of sand and we LOVE it. We like that you can tell the kids have played all day because it means they got to be kids.

This is my first ever yelp review, but I have to share the good news about this in-home daycare…read morefacility because I believe Wee Little Learning Circle raises the bar when it comes to quality childcare. My son has been attending this daycare for exactly one year. We tried the nanny, we tried a friend, and we tried another in-home daycare. While the others were sufficient, they just didn't provide exactly what I wanted for my son. But the moment my husband and I stepped foot into Ms. Chyron's house I knew that my child would be well provided for while in her care. I cried, to tell the truth because Ms. Chyron and Ms. Jean were friendly, warm, welcoming, and most importantly they were affordable. This is what makes Ms. Chyron great, but what makes her daycare awesome is the amount of time and energy she dedicates to teaching the children that are in her care. My son is now two years old and can count to 40 on his own! He can identify shapes by name and knows colors. Wee Little Learning Circle is NOT a licensed preschool, but in the words of Ms. Chyron, she likes to "stretch their learning capacity." In other words, once the children show an interest in something Ms. Chyron seizes the opportunity to teach them. Additionally, they focus on letters and sounds, and do fun activities based on what they have learned. Many people are surprised at how much my child knows and how well he speaks, and this is due in large part to the support of Ms. Chyron and her mother Ms. Jean. I can't say enough about Wee Little Learning Circle...I could but this review would go forever. If you are looking for childcare provider in the Elk Grove area, I urge you to check out this place- schedule a visit-hangout with the kids. You will not be disappointed.

Update: As I've…read morementioned in my original post--my son has attended this program for 5 years! Five years! He started there when he was 5 months old. My son is in kindergarten now and he's always thinking about his time at Butterfly Garden. We still visit Ms. Hally and staff when we get the opportunity. There is a reason we stayed here. Our son thrived in this environment. The program is based on "Learn Through Play". He's learned so much while he was there. Not only did he learn the alphabet, numbers, counting--he also learned how to be kind, follow instructions and teamwork. This program has been around for over 25 years. They've received numerous awards and recognitions within the community. The program has become a model for other childcare facilities in the area. I know this because I've done the research before we signed the contract. There's one negative review here from PREETI R. The content of the review leaves some things out. My son went back to Butterfly Garden while he was off track from Kindergarten. I'm sad to say that PREETI R's little boy in fact hit my son on the head with a toy. My son would not make up a story of a little boy hitting him on the head. This is a nurturing environment that helped care for my son the first five years of his life. The rates we paid were reasonable and comparable to other childcare programs in the area--$40/day. I always recommend this program to family, friends and even strangers. It is one of the best things we've done for our son.
