She also has several severe food allergies. Sedique and Crystal are truly incredible and really went above and beyond for my daughter.

We started her after a major move and Curious Angels helped her feel secure and settled pretty much immediately. The teachers are truly outstanding and clearly love their work. Our daughter loves going there every day, has formed beautiful friendships with her classmates, strong bonds with her teachers, and is learning so much. They have an outdoor emphasis and the children learn to care for chickens and bunnies, among all the other things they do during their day. The daycare uses an app to communicate with parents - we get pictures throughout the day which helps us talk to her about her activities in the evening. Communication with the teachers is excellent. It's a happy, joyous place where the children can play, learn, trust, and enjoy this special time in their life. I give Curious Angels, the teachers, and the owner my highest recommendation.

I'm So grateful our daughter was able to get in after a few months on the waitlist. I would keep her here till Kindergarten if I could but we had to move for work. They are so loving and caring full of years of experience. Almost everyday she would come home with an art project and had so much room to run around and play. Sheryl made healthy meals everyday for the girls, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, pancakes, you name it. My daughter made best friends there and learned all about the farm animals Sheryl has goats, chickens, horses and even a pony! It was a magical place for her to grow and learn. Thank you so much Serenity Creek.

My daughter is smarter, more independent, and more loving for having spent the last 1.5 years with Sherryl on her gorgeous farm. The only reason why my daughter is leaving Serenity Creek is because we are moving out of state - otherwise, I would have kept here there for as long as possible!! She wakes up every morning and talks non-stop about how excited she is to go to 'school' and runs to the door when we get there. I have to chase her down to say goodbye to me. I can't say enough about what a warm and nurturing environment Serenity Creek is! If I could pack Sherryl and take her with me, I would!!

Don't hesitate, join the ositos family now Whoever gave ositos a 1 star is an idiot and obviously hasn't sent their kids here for 5 years like I have.

Patricia, the owner, puts her heart into her business and it shows! Fabulous fresh baked pastries on Wednesdays, fresh delicious home cooked meals for the kids every day, and a comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated home!

Patricia is very easy to reach by phone or email as well. Its hard to get a spot here and you pay a little more, but the care my daughter gets here is top notch and worth every penny!

Today my daughter graduated from Crib's day care and is ready to start summer camp. I cannot say…read moreenough about how much I appreciate everything Patricia and her teachers did for my daughter! They provided a safe and fun environment for my daughter to grow and become a confident individual. What was most important to me, my daughter felt comfortable there and loved her teachers, especially Patricia, Sylvia Mariel and Elizabeth. As a matter of fact, on a daily basis, she refused to leave the daycare unless she gave Patricia a goodbye hug. Additionally, this was the first daycare out of three that my daughter attended, where it was ok to mess up/have an accident. She was helped, told it was ok and encouraged to try again. It was so important to me because in my daughter's previous daycare, she was yelled at and shamed when she had an accident while she was potty training. On days my daughter was sad for whatever reason, Patricia went out of her way to make her feel special by making her a helper in the kitchen/having talks with her/drawing special pictures, writing letters, whatever it took to cheer her up. The food at the day care always looked and smelled amazing and was home made. My daughter constantly brought home fun projects that she worked on with her teachers. I always felt that Patricia went above and beyond for my daughter and I feel so lucky that I found Crib's daycare! My daughter already said that she can't wait to go back and visit!

I can't say enough great things about Little Sprouts Preschool, Ms Michelle (think Wonder Woman…read moremeets Snow White), and her staff. We have a lot of experience with the daycares/preschools, especially those in Capitola, Aptos, Freedom areas and Little Sprouts is hands down the best in town. Ms Michelle and those she brings in are nurturing, present, creative, and earnestly care about and adjust for the individual child. We made the easy decision to keep our eldest in preschool instead of TK once we found exactly what we were missing in other schools. Thankful to have my youngest also enrolled for another year. Ms. Michelle is thoughtful when planning her classroom. From rotating stations to keep things interesting, bringing in as many lessons regarding the seasons and nature as possible; currently they have tad poles and baby chicks in the classroom, to working and communicating with the kiddos (and their parents) to keep a cohesive group dynamic.

As a new mother, deciding on a child care provider for my daughter when it was time to go back to work was one of the most difficult decisions. I could not be happier with our choice of Highland's Park Community Bridges. She receives the highest quality of care and they provide a very nurturing environment filled with unique and age-appropriate educational experiences that I could not provide at home. Most importantly, she is so happy to be there! All of the staff are friendly and professional and I am grateful for all of the support and communication they provide to us as parents. The Site Supervisor, Roxy is so compassionate, professional, and understanding. She really listens to families and children equally well. She is always thinking of new ways to engage the children and help them to thrive. I feel like we are part of a community, and I look forward to watching her grow and develop at this center for years to come, while our family is building connections with other children and local families.
