When you first walk in, you will notice how clean and bright it is. The walls have beautiful art and pictures of the children. The toys are new, organized and forever evolving. Mikka caters and understands each child's individual needs. She is very alert about allergies, asthma, etc. Communication with parents throughout the day is A+++. If something is happening out of the norm with our little one, she always gave us a heads up even if a pick up isn't needed. When it is needed, we already have the heads up so it's not a surprise. There's always pictures and videos! Both our boys went to Mikka's and considered her family. Our youngest started with her at 4 months. We would've started him at 3 months if there was an opening. Overall, Mikka's has been a very nurturing and safe place for our kids to spend their most important growing years. Highly recommended!

I decided to move my kids right away. We went with Genius Kids and I am so glad we did! The workers are so caring. My daughter, who is 4 speaks highly of every single person. She learned so much from being there! Skills in her daily life to her alphabets and public speaking! She has became much more confident!

I am a mom of 3 and have been through many daycares and preschool facilities and there is no match to the love and kindness ms. Heather and the infant classroom teachers: Ms Lisa, Ms Rikia, Ms, Koko, and Ms Sharifa and every other teacher I encountered there. I didn't cry when I dropped her off but I did on her last day. These teachers took exceptional care and really helped my daughter grow so much in 6 months. The app they use lets you see pics and videos and all feedings/naps and keeps you updated throughout the day which was always nice when my mom guilt kicked in and I'd check and she was having the time of her life with her teachers and friends. The only reason we left was because my mom is no longer working and now able to watch her. We would choose Genius Kids again in a heartbeat.

He started in their infant room and is currently in pre-k. Our youngest son (10 months old) just started in the infant room. The facility has always been clean, but since Covid began they have gone above and beyond to make sure our kids are safe. The cleaning and safety measures they have in place now are phenomenal! I would have to say my favorite part about Elk Grove Kindercare are the relationships our family has formed with the staff. It's extremely hard as a parent to have to leave your child for long periods of time. The staff at Elk Grove Kindercare have made leaving my boys a little less painful and I will always be grateful for them.

I want to start this review as a warning to other parents considering this KinderCare location,…read moreespecially if your child is on the autism spectrum. Last week, I toured the center and informed Angelina that my son has ASD. She suggested we do a trial day, which was scheduled for today. When we arrived, we waited about five minutes before someone named Gabby opened the door. She asked, "Is this the 4-year-old that's doing a trial?" but never asked for his name, whether he had any allergies, or if he was potty trained--basic information any center should ask upfront. I offered that information anyway, but it was never requested. Another red flag: before leaving, I was asked to jot down my name and number on a sticky note. I was confused because they should have already had that from our initial visit. Even more concerning--they never had me sign any kind of consent form, agreement, or emergency contact document before leaving my child in their care. That is not only unprofessional, it's unsafe. Less than 20 minutes after dropping him off, I received a call saying he was crying and trying to elope--something my son has never done before. They told me to come get him and said he wasn't a good fit. It felt like no one made a true effort to comfort or support him during what should've been an adjustment period. When I arrived, they took me to where my son was, in the very back in the corner. When I grabbed my son, and was walking out. I looked behind me and all the teachers stayed back. I had to go out my way to ask to speak with Angelina. I could tell I was being talked about, and the atmosphere felt extremely uncomfortable. When I expressed how I felt that my son wasn't even given a chance, Angelina shrugged and said it was a safety issue. I left feeling discriminated against and heartbroken. It's clear this facility either lacks the training to support autistic children or chooses not to. Either way, I strongly advise parents--especially those with special needs children--to look elsewhere. Your child deserves patience, preparation, and above all, respect.

Update: As I've…read morementioned in my original post--my son has attended this program for 5 years! Five years! He started there when he was 5 months old. My son is in kindergarten now and he's always thinking about his time at Butterfly Garden. We still visit Ms. Hally and staff when we get the opportunity. There is a reason we stayed here. Our son thrived in this environment. The program is based on "Learn Through Play". He's learned so much while he was there. Not only did he learn the alphabet, numbers, counting--he also learned how to be kind, follow instructions and teamwork. This program has been around for over 25 years. They've received numerous awards and recognitions within the community. The program has become a model for other childcare facilities in the area. I know this because I've done the research before we signed the contract. There's one negative review here from PREETI R. The content of the review leaves some things out. My son went back to Butterfly Garden while he was off track from Kindergarten. I'm sad to say that PREETI R's little boy in fact hit my son on the head with a toy. My son would not make up a story of a little boy hitting him on the head. This is a nurturing environment that helped care for my son the first five years of his life. The rates we paid were reasonable and comparable to other childcare programs in the area--$40/day. I always recommend this program to family, friends and even strangers. It is one of the best things we've done for our son.

As a Middle School teacher myself this is very important to my husband and myself. I highly recommend Butterfly Garden to anyone for their precious babies.

Harvest House Daycare, led by Ms. Sylvia with the loving support of Ms. Joan and Papa, is truly a…read morehidden gem. From the moment you see the space, you can feel the difference -- her home and large backyard offer room for children to move, play, and grow in a calm, nurturing environment. It feels like family, not a crowded commercial center. The children are well cared for, fed fresh organic vegetables and even home-grown fruits, and they come home happy, clean, and secure every day. What truly sets Harvest House apart is the focus on early learning, especially reading and math. Ms. Sylvia follows an old-school, pen-and-paper approach that emphasizes literacy, numbers, and repetition over constant arts and crafts. I've had two daughters here -- my first (Delaney) attended from age 3 to 5, and my second (Henley) started as a newborn at just 2 months old and is still with Ms. Sylvia now at age 5, entering kindergarten next year. My youngest has already surpassed the kindergarten curriculum: she knew sight words by age 2.5, began reading by 3.5, and now reads at a second-grade level. When my first daughter was born, I called Harvest House Daycare when she was six months old and there was no space available. At the time, I enrolled her in an expensive, brand-name private school believing the higher price would guarantee better care and education. I later learned that branding and cost do not equal quality. The structure, academic focus, and individualized attention at Harvest House far exceeded what we experienced elsewhere. We were incredibly fortunate to later secure a spot, and both of my daughters thrived here academically, socially, and emotionally. The price is absolutely worth it when you consider the long-term growth, confidence, and academic advantage your child gains. With reliable hours from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., genuine care, and a strong academic foundation, Harvest House Daycare offers something rare -- a place where children are truly prepared for school and life, not just watched during the day.

They have become a second family and…read moremade it so easy as parents to find a sense of peace knowing our kiddos are being well cared for. All of my children have been with them since they were infants (2 months & 5 months old). Their day to day is structured which helps create a routine for the kids and they know what to expect each day. The program includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks which are all nutritious and my kids love (I give credit for my kiddos being great eaters, they love veggies, to the balanced meals they receive). Even from infancy formula is provided if needed along with food plans outlined once solids are introduced. Once old enough they facilitate a preschool program, my two year old can hold a pencil correctly and does his worksheets daily. The early introduction to these skills continue on to help prepare for kindergarten. We decided to keep our kids at Harvest House until they started kindergarten, and credit the curriculum and dedication they set in place of reading, sight words, and math to setting them up for success. My 8 and 5 yr old progressed at different paces but both felt more confidence going into kindergarten. In the eight years we have been with them they haven't been closed outside the Holidays and Vacation days outlined at the beginning of the year, providing us working parents with the reliability and stability needed. Harvest House has been a blessing for our family creating a safe, caring, and structured program for our kids. My eight year old still wants to go back to ZaZa's and Papa's on her school breaks. Truly could not recommend Harvest House more as top notch child care provider. Ainsley, Hadley, Dalton, Doug and Kali
