I called, and they welcomed me for a tour. They are welcoming and have been updating the activities and curriculum for the kids over the past few years. Liz and the staff always strive to improve the daycare. A huge plus is the neighboring Little One Swim's, where kids can practice swimming. They also offer soccer shots, dance, Spanish, and other additional activities for an additional fee. Annually, they have Father's Day lunches and muffins with mothers, as well as other activities to celebrate with the kids.

The place is always so clean and I don't have to worry about my kids coming home with a sickness, which is huge! We adore Ms. Sherii, and she truly has a heart of gold and genuinely cares about each person that walks through the doors. We had our daughter's first birthday party here as well and it was a huge hit. Gymboree is a must do with young kiddos, up to age 5!!

Honest review for the parents: your kiddos are going to love it, and you're going to love the nap!…read more5/5 Been told about Gymboree for a while now and I've been too busy to schedule a day to come in... Today though... was the day! Our kiddo absolutely loved the play area, he didn't stop once for the 45 minutes he got to play. We scheduled an open gym play time and our son got to mingle with some other little, as well as got to get his energy out. What I loved was the owner/staff at the front. Can I say absolutely respectful, welcoming, and just prioritizing the kids safety and well-being. While we were all getting ready to join in, we got to introduce the parents. And the kids got ready to go in. Meanwhile she was busy at work cleaning the areas to make sure that the kiddies were in a clean play room. Plus once a month they rearrange the area to incorporate more styles of play. They have different memberships online and you can text for availability, which is how we were able to confirm availability for the day! For parents with kids in early intervention programs, this is a great place to bring your kids for therapy. For other kids without a therapy need, this allows them to teach and influence other kiddos who need that influence. Definitely will be returning in the future for more fun!

My daughter went to Small Strides for a full year and it was an ok experience. I'll be talking…read moreabout the location that they have in the Rancharrah area. My daughter started going at 3 months old and the baby room that she was in was incredible. The main teachers in her classroom in the morning were on top of it and overall the classroom was very organized. OH, and we loved receiving her art work. Despite the crazy schedule the teachers had with these newborn babies, the way they were able to insert art time for memories I was definitely delighted how they did it all! Now talking about the second classroom she transitioned to as she got a little older and meeting her milestones, her teachers in that classroom were also great! I loved how they all knew my daughter's schedule and were on top of it. And in both classes, I really appreciated how they informed me right away or my husband when stuff happened. Now I'm going to talk about the cons in this paragraph which explains why I'm giving this place a 4/5 rating. It was frustrating when my daughter's things got misplaced from other kiddos and this happened a lot. They reminded parents to label and whatnot but things started to go missing. Another incident is when there was an issue with a staff that I just had to address with the owner and I was glad it got handled well because as a parent, no parent should be coming in feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. And lastly, towards the last two months of my daughter's stay, she has gotten bit at least 10 times. My husband and I let it go and just kept letting it go until we finally addressed it to them but then on her last week it happened. Her marks were awful and I was not happy but I let it go since she wasn't staying there for long. Overall, I do appreciate the teachers who cared for my daughter and all their hard work they provide for all these kiddos. It was an ok daycare experience but I am so delighted to be a SAHM now and be with my kids under my care.

First off let me say that we didn't realize how great Small Strides daycare/preschool was until we…read moremoved out of state or how difficult it was to find a daycare that met the level of expectations that Small Strides had set. Needles to say, Small Strides set the bar very high. We had our son in Small Strides at 3 months as a first time mom, it was a nervous experience. However the teachers are very nice and caring, I went in the middle of the day to breastfeed and all the babies were well taken care of and happy. At the time (it may have changed) they didn't use swings or bouncers for the babies, because the owner felt that the babies should be held if/when they get fussy. And it's just too easy to put a baby in a bouncer or swing and leave them there. I never thought about it, but so true and I loved this concept. Our son was there until he turned about 2.5 when we moved to NJ. He learned his shapes, had learned how to count to 18 (in Spanish and English), knew his colors (in English and was beginning to learn them in Spanish), and so many other things. While the kids did get free play time, whenever my husband or I would show up unannounced it always seemed organized. Kids rarely were just running around in complete chaos and most times were engaged in a group activity. Because the daycare was small we knew all the teachers, and they all knew the kids by name even if they weren't in their assigned classroom. This made it easy for our son to transition between classrooms, and truthfully, he walked around like he owned the place lol. We saw the same teachers for the most of the entire 2+ years that we were there, which says something about the owner and the facility due to what seemed to be low turnover. The Owner/Director was always available and worked the front desk in addition to being involved in the classrooms day to day if needed, so any issues you could always reach her. And because she was always at the school and involved, you could tell that she had a vested interest in ensuring that the teachers and students had what they needed to succeed. Not to mention she knew every kid by name. While there isn't the new technology that some larger daycares have (online video that parents can tap into or tablets to send parents reports and pics), this is a definite plus (having now experienced a daycare with this technology). Filling out the kids daily report each day and evening allows you to meet and get to know the other parents and kids (making it feel more homey and safe) and the teachers are much more engaged with the kids since they aren't on the tablets all day updating the kids logs. Though there isn't online viewing for parents (at that time)video , they do record all the classrooms, so if there was ever an issue the owner and parent can review the video records. We've come to find that many of the daycares have the online viewing option, but don't record. So if something were to happen, and unless you were watching at just the right time, you would never know. The online viewing is really just a false sense of security in my opinion. We can't speak highly enough of Small Strides and are still in search for a daycare/preschool that meets these expectations.

My son has attended this Kindercare for about 3 of his 5 years…read more Although everything is not perfect for every child, parent, or teacher, this team really does care about your child. I have sent way too many messages in this time with real concerns and asks for partnership in caring for my son as best as it can possibly be done. Not ONE issue went unanswered. I was also never made to feel bad about any concern I brought up. THIS is why I never changed his school and what makes all the difference. If you are reading this and wondering, at least here they are interested in working with any issues you might bring forward. We came over from Blue Kangaroo where, as a first time mom, I watched my son be left in a highchair for over an hour and actively disregarded by the caregiver. Even pushed him away from her. It was terrifying to think that they didn't have cameras after what I saw happen. I fully trust that my son is being cared for here even though I cannot watch him during the day on a camera. Thank you Kindercare team, we will miss you after this year!
