They always greet my child and he looks forward to going everyday. I love they daily logs, pictures, videos they provide of my child via their portal. In the 3 months my child has learned so much compared to his last daycare (military CDC). I always get positive feedback on my child's behavior. Our experience has been positive. Negatives - The price ($1250) compared to military ($625). The little ones need to be watched more closely when on the playground. Must pay extra for specialized programs.

Once the director in 2024 left everything was turned upside down. From the interim directors to the 14 different teachers that went through the infant room (new and existing employees) it was madness. It felt like they were trialing the new teachers in the infant room. Come to find out, a teacher walked out (from the infant room) and neglected all the babies until someone realized from hearing them crying (4-5 babies) and stepped in. If I had known how to report things like this to DCYF, I would have immediately. I even had a teacher (from a different age group who was actively caring for children when I arrived) follow me to the infant room and harass me about why I didn't respond to the photo they sent of an injury my child received under the direct care of that teacher. Not to mention for getting shamed by them for not wanting my kid to eat the trash food they provided. I know kitsap county has the WORST availability for daycare, please do not send your children here. I've also edited my review to add that there were many time where my child hadn't been fed or given a nap but they would complain that he was difficult those days because he was upset all day. I literally looked at them and said "I wonder why when he hasn't been fed on time or had any sleep". Once at pickup they even said "oh yea, hes hungry" because they noticed they missed his next bottle. I don't completelt blame the teachers because if their management had provided adequate support, this may not have happened. Check google reviews too!! Older children have escaped from an unlocked/broken fence gate and ended up in the street.

From the owner: There Is Nothing More Important Than A Child's Early Years…read more Our PhilosophyThere is nothing more important than a child's early years because the adult they will someday become is shaped by those first few years of life. All children attending child care deserve a positive, consistent, warm and nurturing educational environment. At Central Valley Child Care we strive to create a peaceful environment where children are encouraged to function independently, be respectful of themselves, others and the environment, and learn to make positive choices. Parent communication is a very important part of our work with children. Our teachers talk with parents daily about their child's progress and will always look to parents for insight and advice on how to best work with their child. Our CurriculumOur Preschool classes use The Creative Curriculum when planning our learning activities. Our classrooms are designed for independent learning opportunities. Curriculum is planned around the developmental needs and interests of the children enrolled in our Preschool. Children in our care will learn and grow socially, emotionally, physically, and academically through the structure of the environment, play and age appropriate learning activities. Our long term goal for each child is for them to be socially and academically ready for Kindergarten. Please visit our website by clicking the link above, or call us for more information!

Everyone seemed very nice and although everyone was masked and provided appropriate safety measures on the tour, my child's teacher and at least two other individuals that work here do not believe in wearing a mask to protect the vulnerable children during this deadly pandemic. We had to un-enroll her after just two days here. To me, this demonstrated a poor lack of judgment among other things. Why wouldn't you want to protect the children you're teaching? I spoke with the director and she apologized and refunded all of our money. The issue with the staff not masking is complicated as they claimed a religious exemption to masking (which isn't a real thing)! We're two years into his pandemic. Wearing a mask isn't hard. I'm a nurse and wear one all day while caring for patients. It's not hard to protect yourself and others. It amazes me that I even have to write this right now but I want others to be aware before enrolling here in case keeping their children safe at preschool is a concern for them.

If you are considering enrolling your child here, I would encourage you to proceed with caution…read more Before our child started, we clearly communicated to the staff that he struggles with attention and discussed his behavioral challenges in detail. We were reassured that they would work with him, support his progress, and that there was no need for concern. However, after only three days of attendance, we received a phone call at pickup informing us--without any prior warning or discussion--that it would be his last day. If you have a 3-year-old with similar behavioral challenges, I would recommend taking their assurances with caution and making sure you have a backup plan in place, as unfortunately we did not. If there was an option for 0 stars I'd pick that.
