This is the best daycare in Sonoma County. My children attended this school for three years, and we…read moreonly left because we had to move. Both of our children loved every teacher and every classroom they were in throughout the years. They were always excited to go to TLE, and they believed that every classmate was their friend. The classrooms were lovely, clean and well organized. The meal plan was superb, and very convenient. The outdoor play areas were large, shaded, customized to age range and abilities, and filled with bikes, water pads, and sensory toys. Communication with the director, Kenzie, and assistant director, Rosie, was immediate, considerate and thorough. Our eldest was fully prepared for kindergarten when she graduated from TLE. She understood classroom dynamics and expectations, and she had mastered measurable skills in language, reading, math and art. Our youngest was loved and nurtured during his time at TLE, and the teachers were incredible at supporting us during potty-training and different developmental stages. There is a lot of love, care, and attention to detail in this safe, professional and fun little school. We miss it a lot!

Ms. Kenzie is one of the first people we interacted with at the school, and she instantly made us…read morefeel like we belonged. She's warm, welcoming, and has this effortless way of connecting with both kids and parents, which, in my book, is a rare and magical combo. My kids absolutely adores her, and I can see why. She brings such positive energy and always seems to be in ten places at once, without missing a beat. She's also incredibly organized! The kind of person who somehow makes school events, updates, and reminders feel easy to keep up with (and I barely remember what day it is). You can tell she really cares about the families and puts her heart into the work. We feel lucky to have someone like Ms. Kenzie at the school, it's made all the difference for our family!

. This was by far the worst daycare experience I've ever had…read more Staff were consistently unprofessional and disorganized. I regularly dropped my child off with people who weren't her teachers--including kitchen staff--which is completely unacceptable. Teachers called out so often that my child was frequently left with unfamiliar caregivers, DAILY and parents were never properly informed. The environment felt chaotic every single morning--screaming children, no structure, and no sense of control. Even more concerning, when my child had issues with other kids being abusive . staff did nothing to address it. There were also serious concerns about staff behavior and overall supervision that made me question whether this is an appropriate or safe environment for children at all. I would not recommend this place to any parent. They need major changes in staffing, accountability, and basic professionalism.

5 Stars - KinderCare Has Been a Blessing!…read more We came to KinderCare after a difficult experience at a previous daycare that felt unprofessional and poorly managed. My older son would come home angry and sad. He was regularly put in timeouts and had his playtime taken away for what they called "bad behavior." They even claimed he had choked another child at just three years old, which was shocking and completely out of character. He would cry and beg not to go. That's when we knew we had to make a change. From the moment we toured KinderCare, we felt a difference. The staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They also accept 4Cs, which was a huge help. From day one, my son came home smiling. He has been happy to go every single day since. His teacher, Emily, has been especially wonderful. She's patient, kind, and really understands my strong-willed child. She works with him thoughtfully and helps him thrive in a way that feels supportive rather than punitive. She's been instrumental in helping him adjust and grow. KinderCare also recently welcomed my one-year-old, and again, the experience has been amazing. I could tell from the very first day that he had a great time with the staff and the other children. It gave me so much peace of mind to know that both my kids are happy, safe, and truly cared for. KinderCare doesn't just supervise children--they see them, understand them, and support them as individuals. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Eric, the Director is hands on and often in the classroom. I've witnessed him help the teachers clean too! They have been wonderful during the COVID pandemic. All classrooms are thoroughly cleaned.

The teachers are very good at helping during drop off. Everyday, my child is welcomed with a warm and loving teacher. All the staff is wonderful. I trust them 100% with my child. I know they are taking good care of her and she is all smiles there. This is the BEST DAYCARE! I would encourage anyone to pick this one.

The environment at Peek a Boo playhouse helped to support and encourage both my kid's rhythm of learn and play. This is a non judgmental haven for both the children and parents/families. Miss Megan and Miss Mary are in tune with the kids and create a bond that helps build self esteem, knowledge and all while still having fun. Miss Megan has been a pillar in the community for over 20 years and I have to add has left an everlasting impression on all the little people she encounters. A gem of a preschool.

I have never had an issue with any teacher here and my kids have always came home with an exciting story to tell about how their day went at daycare. We have used Redwood for before and after school care with school drop off and pick up, spring break and summer break program! In the summer the kids are always going on fun field trips! My kids have made so many friends here and Nancy and Jacqueline are the best!! They treat us like we're family! They are always so caring, nice, and loving to the children. Even the young student teachers are great with the kids and help with their homework after school! As soon as you walk through their doors you feel at home. I have never questioned my kids safety at this child care, it is very clean and well organized with different age groups and fun activities to do! Starting my kids at Learning to Learn next door at the age of 2 and then started Redwood Country Kids Club at age 5 to now almost 11 and 12 is the best decision I have ever made with my kids care. I will truly be so sad when my kids finally age out. Thank you to Nancy and Jacqueline for all that you do! We love you!! Redwood is the best!!!

The teachers at RCKC were absolutely fantastic, but this 1 star rating pertains to their accounting…read morepractices. The entire time my child went to this daycare, my bill was in good standing and current...until I took him out. All of a sudden the bills starting coming. First, for $145, then more, then more, now up to $547 with a falsified record to back up the claim. If I was delinquent on my payments, why didn't I hear about it until I took my child out? This school has a reputation in the community for poor accounting practices, so if you take your child here (emphasis again on the great teachers), make sure you keep track of your bill, or you'll be taken to collections with fake statements after you're done there!
