Now called Capital City Childcare Center…read more If you need full time care for your child, keep looking. While my daughter was enrolled, I was called at least 1 day per week to pick her up for various reasons. Weather it was because they were too short staffed or because they would find a ridiculous "concern" that required a Dr's note to return (none of the concerns ever checked out to be reasons to be sent home). The staff were pretty nice but the director, Ashley, is awful. Although they claim to be non discriminatory, we were often made to feel second class because we are a family with two moms. And the constant calls to have our daughter picked up only validated those feelings.

From the moment I entered the facility I knew they were far better suited to care for our daughter than any of the other locations I had toured. The area was clean and the management was friendly. As for the infant room the ladies that care for the babies make sure you feel comfortable. As a new mom I'd spend at least 10 minutes each day getting a play by play of our daughters developments. Kayla and Alissa work hard to know your child and provide them a safe and loving environment. With daily activities, from bubbles, to paint, and outdoor adventures, Childrens Courtyard has got it right!

Update 7/29: We are still loving the Children's Courtyard…read moreSouth, specifically my son's Pre-K class and teachers. The teachers truly care about their students and want them to thrive. My son loves going to school and loves his teachers. Can't say enough good things, if you're looking for childcare with a quality pre-k program please consider The Children's Courtyard South. ------------ We really love The Children Courtyard SOUTH. My son started at the North center and he was not thriving there at all. Then he was bit on the face by another child and they didn't do enough in our eyes to protect our child from further incidents. He had been bit a total of three times in about a two week span. The first two incidents weren't reported to me and I found out by my son. When the child bit my son's face I had had enough and was very furious with the North center. They opted to not remove the boy who kept biting my son so we removed our son and began care at the South center. Anyways, we were really hesitant to give the South center a chance because we were just not happy with what had happened at the North center, but the two facilities operate completely separately. Because they are separate it gave us the confidence and hope to give CCY South a chance. We are so glad we transitioned to CCY South. Initially it took awhile to get our paperwork transitioned over to the South center. It was a little confusing and we weren't guided through the process as well as I had hoped, but eventually we got it all figured out with the director Samantha. The staff and teachers at CCY South are amazing. My son absolutely loves his pre-k teachers Ms. Brittany and Ms. Larissa. They give all the kids so much care, attention and kindness. My son missed a day of school while we were visiting family and he told me he had to go back to school because Ms. Brittany would miss him. Tip: 1. Sign up for the Brightwheel App so you can easily communicate with the school. They also send you photos and videos of your child throughout the day. I love the communication regarding naps and meals. I feel connected even when I am away at work. It is secure and you only have access to your child. 2. Sign up for the WatchMeGrow App so you can see a live video feed of your child throughout the day. It's a great way to stay connected while you are away from you child. If you have a need for childcare and want your child to receive quality care and an education geared toward their age level, please check out CCY South. My son loves his school, his teachers, and the staff here. He is now thriving and we love CCY South. Oh and I should add that they handle incidents very well and communicate with the parents each time and incident happens.

Not to mention when the owners couldn't get to their grocery pick up due to COVID-19, my family personally bought the daycare groceries to help them get back up and running. Money was raised for this daycare multiple times and we didn't see one dime put into the building or the kids. They received a shuttle bus in donation so the kids didn't have to walk, rain or shine because the school district doesn't allow a school bus to stop because they are technically in walking distance. The bus was never used and sat in the parking lot until it disappeared. Would highly recommend looking elsewhere for your childcare. They put up a good front until its time to go separate ways and then you see their true colors.

Also, our child wouldn't come home with incident reports. The last incident: she came home with a goose egg to the back of her head.

Ms. Shelby produced an incident report days after the injury stating that our child received first aid following her fall from the table outside. I didn't understand how because the staff were unaware of the injury. Recommendation: better staffing ratios or prevent toddlers from climbing the outside table.

We were very nervous about having to leave her anywhere as we had to return to work. The owner and her staff quickly put our anxieties to rest as they welcomed our daughter, and us as nervous parents, with open arms. Their facility is very clean, organized, and well kept. They keep a daily event log for our daughter that is given to us each day when we pick her up. They have a great variety of interactive toys that our daughter loves too. The staff are always interacting with our daughter when we drop her off and pick her up which reassures us that she's always being cared for in every way. We have nothing but praise for this very family focused childcare facility. If you're looking for a childcare provider in Thurston county we encourage you to look them up and pay them a visit.
