Let me start off with saying Devin Solomon and her staff are one of the best daycares I've…read moreencountered! My 1st grade son attends there and they help him with his online schooling, homework, and whatever else he needs. As well as fun activities for breaks. I work full time and is unable to help with school during COVID. Calling All Scouts has been a God sent for me. My daughters preschool is now closing and she is about to attend CAS with her brother. I'm so thankful Devin and her staff are willing to still work on preschool curriculum, and nap time schedules with her. To keep her mind learning and not to skip a beat. I always feel welcomed at her house and can stop by anytime if I need to check on my kids. Which is a big thing for me. If I'm not welcomed to come see my children and there is weird tension when I do we will have words, but this is not the case at CAS! I trust Devin and her staff 150%. I don't have to worry about neglect, abuse in any form, or misconduct with any children. Well I could go on but I won't. CAS is amazing and you'd be very lucky to have a spot here.

This is hands down, THE BEST daycare facility you will find for infants on the Central Coast. As we…read moresoon as we stepped in the door we felt as though it had been bespoke for our daughter. Everything is so well curated to provide an environment that children will absolutely thrive in. It has a natural and Montessori vibe that provides a safe space that they can independently explore and learn. Honestly, it's a space that I could personally hang out in for a while. As first time parents, we were very nervous about starting daycare, but Sophie has made the transition so smooth and easy for everyone. Sending us updates through out the day when morning drop offs were rough and it seems like there is always a new activity or toy ready for the babies first thing in the morning. In the short time that we've been with Downtown Baby, our daughters physical, social, and mental skills have absolutely exploded. We feel so happy that she is learning so much and able to interact with other children around her own age. We can not recommend Sophie & Downtown Baby high enough.

In an effort to try to help this day care's rating I am going to review my walk through to help…read moregive info to others looking for a facility. My review is for the walk through only as I have not yet decided if I am going to enroll my little one. My choice, if i do decide not to enroll, is only due to my own personal reasons and nothing to do with the facility. I did not know what to expect during my walk through because there was only two ratings for this daycare. I went to the location in Shell Beach. It is daycare out of a home just thought I'd point that out for those interested. The home is very clean inside, like not even a spec of dust from what I saw. The toys are very minimalistic, it's not cluttered, and its very organized. The facility also has two bedrooms for nap time if needed, one for smaller kids, and one for older kids. Both very clean. I could not see the backyard/outside area because it was too dark to see. Overall my walk through was uneventful but I did get the overall feel of the space and the person who would be watching my baby. We did meet at 5:30 as the other rating did mention, but i'm assuming it's because the hours of the daycare are 8AM-5PM and its probably a safety concern to have an unknown adult in the space with multiple children and one caregiver. I would also not want anyone i don't know or haven't met allowed in the space with my child if my child was enrolled there. The location I was at was the home space so, I can understand if that's the only time they offer because of this. There is obviously no isolated room to keep the children in while someone walked through other than a bedroom and that's a little weird to shove kids in there while trying to accommodate an adult. Anyways- based off my first visit i'd say that it's worth checking out if you're looking into childcare.

My children have so much fun with their teachers and all of their new friends. All of the teachers are so loving and truly care about all of the children.

Thank you hearts and hands for giving my children a safe and enjoyable environment to play and learn!
