Sequoia Preschool Academy has been a blessing for our family. I will be forever grateful for…read moredirector Janet and all her amazing staff in caring for my two kids. This preschool is clean, organized and fun! My kids started off in the infant room at 4 months old and now my youngest will soon join older brother on the toddler side. Being a working mom and leaving your babies in the care of someone else can be so scary but all the teachers put me at ease and welcomed my little ones with open arms. I love that the infant room ratio is small(compared to other childcare facilities) so that I know my infant is closely being cared for. I love the daily learning structure they have for the kids too.

I rarely leave reviews, but families deserve transparency. My family has been with this center for…read moreover three years, and the decline has been noticeable especially following recent corporate changes and inconsistency at that level. This facility markets itself as a "learning center", but it is increasingly operating like a daycare without the consistency and structure you would expect for the cost. Ongoing staffing shortages have created unreliable care, including last minute capacity limits that result in families being turned away. The core issue appears to be how staff are treated and to be clear, this is not a reflection of the on site team, but a corporate level problem. Teachers seem overworked, under supported, and underpaid, which creates an unsustainable environment. This not only impacts the children, but also leads to high staff turnover and a lack of consistency in care. Families are paying premium rates, but the investment in staffing does not reflect that. Until there are meaningful changes at the corporate level to support and retain qualified teachers, I cannot recommend this center.

Reflecting on the six years my child spent at Childtime, I can honestly say we look back on the…read moreexperience with immense satisfaction. Now that we are nearly a year removed from the program, the positive impact on my child's development is even more apparent. The hallmark of our experience was the relationship with the administration. While there were naturally moments over the years where I had concerns or disagreed with a specific situation, I never once felt unheard. The leadership team always prioritized sitting down with me to listen and address my feedback. Even when the solutions weren't exactly what I had envisioned, the transparency and respect they showed ensured that my perspective was always valued. Watching my child flourish in the environment they've cultivated was a joy. My only constructive critique would be the lunch program; while relying on the provided options was occasionally a challenge, and my child sometimes came home hungry. However, the staff was always attentive to this--they provided appealing snacks and allowed as many helpings as needed to ensure no child was left wanting. I would have prefered to be able to provide a home made lunch that respected the no-peanut policy. I am grateful for the care, the communication, and the community Childtime provided our family for over half a decade.

My 2 year old son has been with Kidz for almost a year. All of the staff are amazing with him, and…read morecatch things I hadn't even noticed as a mom (who knew diaper cream had an expiration date!). Their days are structured and the perfect combination of fun and class work. I love that they are screen free and all of the kids enrichment comes from outside play arts and crafts. Communication is the perfect level for a working family. They contact you when needed and immediately for any accidents or injuries but I don't get multiple calls a day like we have with previous childcare. The staff help with potty training as well. We shopped around for close to a year before we decided to sign little man up for Kidz and never looked back. You know your child is happy and thriving as a parent, we are reminded of this every day at drop off and pick up.

Best Childcare & preschool in town. My daughter has been going there for the past 3 years now and…read moreshe loves it there.

Thank you Kidz childcare & preschool for taking good care of my lil one. Very happy to know she is very well taken care of :-)

I visited Lil Rugratz Daycare to inquire about care for my two-month-old. Tami was friendly during…read morethe tour, and I appreciated her welcoming attitude at first. However, I was told there wouldn't be an infant spot until January, and in order to hold that spot, I'd have to pay $100 per week (for 5 months) -- totaling over $2,000 -- just to reserve it. This fee would not go toward tuition, care, or anything else. I paid a $55 enrollment fee at the time but couldn't shake the feeling that something didn't sit right. After reflecting on it and comparing with other local daycares (most of which only charge a small one-time holding fee), I reached out to let her know I couldn't justify paying that amount -- especially while also paying for a nanny and another daycare. That's when she suddenly said a spot would be opening September 1st, even though she had just told me January. I responded expressing interest, but she never opened or replied to my message. As a first-time mom, I now feel this may have been a manipulative or predatory tactic -- either the spot never existed, or it did and I was being pushed to pay unnecessary fees under false pretenses. Either way, it felt deceptive and left me deeply uncomfortable. Even if she were to reply now, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my child in her care after this experience. Parents, please be cautious. Trust your instincts and ask questions -- especially when someone is asking you to pay hundreds (or thousands) upfront for nothing in return.

This was the best preschool experience for my daughter. They encourage families to have their family photos so the children know they can look at photos and are allowed to bring stuffed animals for the sad times children have.

They even have a behavior chart for children (they use a rainbow system!) the director was amazing!! She was there all the time. Anytime I've seen any staff they were happy!
