If I could give 100 stars I would! I second what all the reviews here say about this place. Amazing doesn't even begin to explain Cecy and the team at Tiny Footprints. My child attended from 18 months to 4 years old. I was incredibly apprehensive about starting due to separation anxiety, but they made him feel completely comfortable from day one.In addition to sending daily pictures and providing excellent communication, they truly support your child's growth. My kid is high energy and super active. Cecy met his energy with her own high energy--I truly don't know how she does it all! The learning program is fantastic. She met him exactly where he was at and used interactive games to teach. He was fully ready for TK when he left. They also do weekly library and park trips, plus walking trips to see the neighborhood.What makes Tiny Footprints truly special is the family atmosphere. All the kids become part of Cecy's family. The group of families is so tight-knit that they do playdates and movie nights on their own outside of school and "alumni" visit long after attending. Cecy also offers movie nights for the kids, after-hours care for date nights, and she even kept my son when I had a week-long work trip. We just moved away from the Bay Area last week, and leaving TF was so incredibly hard. We miss them so much already! If you want a safe, loving environment where your child will truly thrive, this is the place! read more

Our daughter attended Tiny Footprints for two years and it was absolutely amazing! From the daily check ins, to the weekly field trips and holiday activities, our girl had a great time. Cecy and staff became family and if we could keep our toddler there until college we would lol. read more

Tiny Footprints Childcare has been such a meaningful part of our family's early years. Both my daughter and son attended until TK, and we couldn't have asked for a better start to their educational journey. The environment at Tiny Footprints is not only loving and nurturing but also thoughtfully structured to support both academic readiness and emotional growth. Cecy, Olivia, and Consuelo truly pour their hearts into the children. Our daughter transitioned into TK with confidence, and now that our son has just finished his time there, we see the same strong foundation in him--socially, emotionally, and developmentally. Cecy is more than just a caregiver--she's a true community builder. She brings families together, fosters connections, and creates a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the classroom. We always felt supported, informed, and part of something special. Tiny Footprints is more than a childcare center--it's a community, a safe haven, and a place where children (and parents) are truly seen and cared for. We're so grateful for the beautiful start our kids received here. read more

I can't say enough great things about cecy, Olivia and Consuelo. We first brought our daughter here just before her second birthday and the last two years have been so easy. Every parent worries about taking their kid somewhere new but the team at tiny footprints made it painless. Cecy is great at communicating from pictures of the day to a great recap of what happened that day at pick up. I love that they offered included meals which is worth every dollar just for the time savings. She's been such a great resource from potty training to helping our daughter learn what it's gonna be like to have a sibling. (We have one more coming in September we hope to start with cecy next year). Although I'm sad to see my daughter move on to school (and I'm grateful for how well prepared she is for school)I know it's not goodbye just see you later. read more

Tiny Footprints is the best. Our daughter was at 2 other places before, and both were fine. I knew she was taken care of, but at with Cecy, Olivia and Consuelo I feel it's a higher standard of care. The daily activities, weekly trips to the library and parks, they go above and beyond to create an enriching experience for the kids. Many parents don't bother with preschool and leave their kids there right up until kindergarten. It's that good, and absolutely worth the cost. We will miss Cecy and the gang dearly and we know our daughter will too. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Tiny Footprints. Cecy, Olivia, Consuelo are awesome people and great with my child. While we were coming out of the stay at home pademic life, I was searching for a daycare for my yet to be born child. I stumbled upon this yelp listing and I am forever greatful that I was able to get a spot at the daycare. I was so nervous about not only dropping off a child who couldn't verbally communicate but also reacclimating with socializing with people oustide of my family. Cecy made me feel at ease. I felt like I was invited into their family and Cecy truly cared about us. She cared to ask for pictures of my baby and was invited to meet her and her family before she even started. She is so organized and flexible to adapt to new situations.She is very thoughtful with the choices she makes and communicates all information quickly. Whenever CDC recomendations changed or if someone in our community got sick, we knew right away and what we needed to do to keep everyone safe. Cecy is full of energy and is so good with each child, she caters to each child where they are at. She makes learning fun. My child never got bored and always looked forward to school everyday. Even on the weekends, I get asked to go to school, or that we need to make something for Cecy, Olivia and Conseulo. Everytime we do something fun, my child can't wait to tell them about it. Tiny Footprints has also done a great job preparing for the new school. My child has really blossomed to to a confident child who knows how to communicate. read more

Our family will be forever grateful for the care that cecy and her team at tiny footprints provided to our child during his time there. Cecy is an incredibly special person with an innate talent for bringing people together, making them feel included and welcome, and encouraging fun. Her energy is infectious. She, olivia and consuelo have a special love for each of the children and care for them like one of their own. I felt so safe and confident dropping off my child each morning, knowing how well he was going to be taken care of, and how much fun he was going to have. We will miss Cecy and the Tiny footprints community so much! Cecy, Olivia y consuelo - ustedes son angelitos y las agradeceremos eternamente por su cuidado de nuestro gordito precioso. read more

Our daughter currently attends Tiny Footprints and started at age 4 months. Every parent is afraid to drop their baby off at a new childcare facility, but we were at ease immediately because of the warmth and love that everyone at Tiny Footprints shares daily. We truly believe that we have Tiny Footprints to thank for a lot of our daughter's confidence, fun/free spirit and social abilities. We ask ourselves regularly, "Would she be the same baby if she didn't go to Tiny Footprints?" Cecy and her team are absolutely wonderful people who truly love what they do. When you take your child to Tiny Footprints, it feels more like an extended family. Cecy and her team really love each and every child and really cater toward every young personality and heart. Look no further when looking for childcare for your precious little one(s). We love everyone at Tiny Footprints, like family, and pray to always keep them close. These women helped raise our daughter and she loves them all (like a mom) and we want them to continue to positively impact our daughter's life for years to come. We love you so much, Cecy, Olivia & Consuelo and we will never be able to properly thank you for helping to give our baby girl the best start in life. read more

Im crying as write this review because today is my son's last day at Tiny Footprints Childcare. He has been there since September of 2016 at only 8 month old. Cecy sends daily pictures of our babies and it really reassures us parents that our babies are doing just fine (infact they are perfectly fine without us). Cecy has ALWAYS had our babies best interest at heart. She is super fun, ENERGETIC (this woman goes on and on and on) and she also makes sure to keep herself educated so that she can bring safety and amazing learning opportunities for our babies. She alwasy does amazing projects with them. My son ate very healthy with Cesy. My son has always recieved a bithday gift! I never ever has a doubt in my mind that my son was not being taken care of or not safe. I can not write this review without thanking Olivia who was Cecy's right hand woman. Olivia also loved my son just as much as Cesy. When a staff member was down Cecy didnt rush to hire a new one, she interviewed and interviewed until she found the right person who would fit best with our kids. I also can not write this review without thanking Danny and the kids! They are a huge part of Tiny Footprints as well. Thier youngest is like my son's sister/bestie, lol and the boys love to bring what they learn to teach our kiddies. Its been a pleasure to be part of their family, they have become family to us! read more

Cecy and the team of teachers here are truly the most caring and loving teachers my son could have. We joined in the midst of the pandemic and were very impressed with the care and precautions in place. Most importantly, the focus on meeting our son where he is developmentally and encouraging him to grow and socialize into the little toddler he is has been so wonderful. Ease of daily communication with the care team is also a huge plus. Thank you Cecy! read more

I've been to a lot of daycares and Tiny Footprints is really exceptional. I was surprised by how all of the kids are so curious and vibrant but also well-behaved. Cecy is astoundingly good with children somehow and her kids who help out model conscientiousness and kindness to children and grownups alike. The house is cozy, clean, and fun. Out of an abundance of caution, they moved a lot of their operations to the outside. The ratio of staff to kids is wonderful and I feel so lucky to have my kid here. I saw someone walk by and inquire and apparently the waiting list here is months and months. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Our son started at Tiny Footprints when he was 8 months old. As a first time mom it was nerve wracking to leave him; however from the moment we met Cecy we knew she would take amazing care of him. Cecy and Olivia love all of the children like they are their own, come up with creative and interesting activities every day, and provide healthy meals. They also send several photos daily so we can keep up to date on what he is doing. We are moving out of the area and the hardest part of our move will be saying goodbye to Tiny Footprints! read more

Between our two children, we were with Tiny Footprints for almost 3.5 years. Our older son joined in the middle of the pandemic and our younger joined when he was only 4 months old. Both times it was a big decision for different reasons and it was so comforting to feel that our kids were safe, well cared for, learning so much, and so loved. Cecy, Olivia, Consuelo, and Cecy's whole family care for the kids as if they are their own. The teachers really understand kids and their needs-when Cecy recognized that our older son was getting antsy, she would have him go jump in the trampoline to burn some energy and so that he could focus better after. Our younger son is ball-obsessed, loves to climb, and is mischievous. When he was a baby he would not take a bottle, but Cecy and Olivia worked with him to finally take one. They allow the kids to explore safely and be themselves, while also learning a ton at the same time. The group spends a lot of time outdoors, and takes weekly trips to the library and/or a nearby park. When it's hot, they always do water play. I love that Cecy has the freedom to change up the schedule as she sees fit, while always maintaining a predictable structure in the day. I felt like my kids had the best, carefree time at Cecy's. It was a very hard decision to transition our kids to preschool because we loved TF so much. We all miss the TF family but love that Cecy is now doing an annual event for all the current and graduated families to come together. read more

Cecy and her team (Olivia & Consuelo) of wonderful teachers at Tiny Footprints are amazing and I can't say enough good things about this place! Finding the right childcare can be such a hard and big decision. We feel so lucky to have found them. We felt like family right off the bat and all the parents are wonderful. 4 years later, he is still there and thriving - happy, social, curious. The teachers genuinely care for the children and it shows in how much the kids enjoy being with each other. They also provide all meals and snacks. As a busy working parent, I never knew how valuable this would be. Cecy, who is the head of the school, is always responsive by text or call. She sends us pictures every day. She's flexible and accommodating as things come up and has helped us with naps schedules, potty training, and various other transitions over the last 4 years (along with other teachers). I've especially appreciated the thoughtfulness and care that the teachers have put into keeping everyone safe during the pandemic while remaining open. My son is on his way out of kindergarten and we're gonna miss the care they have provided. But will definitely plan to send our second child in the future. read more

Tiny Footprints is the best!!! My son had been cared for by Cecy and team for almost 2 years now, and even though they moved farther away from us earlier this year (I have to deal with brutal I80 traffic every morning to drop him off) we couldn't imagine having him go anywhere else. Fun and education focused, the kids are treated like family and my son is always so excited to show us what he learned that day! The daycare is very clean, safe, and they follow COVID protocols very seriously. Every child is well supported in their developmental milestones, and Cecy is very focused on staying connected with the parents with updates (the daily pics are the best part of my day!) or any concerns. I cannot recommend Tiny Footprints enough, I just hope there is a spot open when my son who's due in Feb '21 is ready to join!!! read more

Our little one has been cared for by Tiny Footprints since 2017 (long overdue review). She' almost 4 now and still loves it there. Cecy, the owner, is sweet, positive, patient, and super energetic. The kiddos learn so much everyday and have loads of fun. All of the areas are clean, toys and equipment are well kept and maintained, and there seems to always be something new for the little ones to explore. Even amid the pandemic Cecy and her family have kept the routines and activities rolling to create a sense of normalcy for the tots. Parents get pics everyday of their child engaged in various activities. These pictures brighten up even the toughest work days and let you know that your child is being loved, is happy, and safe. I can't Cecy enough for all the care and kindness she's shown over the years!!! read more

We love Tiny Footprints!!! My 2 year two month old constantly talks about how much she loves Cecy and staff. The activities are great, the food is fresh, healthy and homemade, and we are sent multiple photos each day. This is a bilingual daycare and after three months, my daughter started speaking to me in Spanish! The idea of leaving my daughter at daycare at first really frightened me, but we all love it. Tiny Footprints is a loving family where your child will learn, grow, and be supported. read more

Our toddler was enrolled in TF for the first half of this year. If we could have brought Cecy and her staff with us to TX, where we moved, we would have! Cecy is an incredibly communicative and attentive professional. More importantly, her and her staff genuinely care about the kiddos, which was essential for our son's transition into childcare (he was a first-timer). Cecy is also up-to-date on education programming, which means she employs the best pedagogical methods to ensure learning and growth. We deeply respect Cecy's child care model and wish TF all the best! read more

Deciding on childcare is one of the hardest things you have to do as a parent but Cecy and her staff make it really easy! They truly love and care for the children at Tiny Footprints like family. Her home is safe, immaculate and perfectly tailored to the learning and development of little kids. While I definitely found cheaper options for daycare in the Richmond/San Pablo area, NONE of them came remotely close to the quality of care offered by Tiny Footprints. My daughter loved attending Tiny Footprints which was such a relief because me and my husband both work full-time. Cecy is so upbeat and positive and seems to have an endless amount of energy. The staff is truly engaged with the children and the environment feels more like a family preschool in terms of structure and curriculum which is rare to find in a home daycare. We recently moved and were so sad to say goodbye, but have been even more impressed with how Cecy has remained in touch with us which shows how much she truly cared for and continues to care for our little girl! read more

Very pleased with everything at this point. My 18-month attends this childcare and from the first visit with my toddler I knew right away this was the right fit. There's too many things I liked upon discovering this place from the staff, the structure, the play area for babies/kids which scored really high with me and seeing my son's reaction was priceless. My mama bear instincts guided me to allow my precious baby to attend this daycare Mon-Fri. I trust the staff here and I get daily updates which is huge. My baby is always smiling and laughing which makes me so happy. I can genuinely tell my baby is happy. read more

Tiny Footprints is an amazing daycare. I feel so lucky to have found Cecy and her team. Cecy is the nicest, most energetic person. She is so enthusiastic with the kids. She has studied child development and helped me to become a better mom. Her place is spotless and full of toys and activities for the kids. We moved to a new town and leaving Tine Footprints was the only part I was sad about. I cried a bit. No other childcare center can compare. My daughter is growing into an amazing, thoughtful little person, and Tiny Footprints takes a lot of credit for her development. I simply cannot say enough. Any parent would be lucky to have their child enrolled there. read more

We had our daughter here from 6months to 3 years old and only took her out to send her to preschool. We absolutely love Cecy and Sra. Olivia! They are so loving and good with the children, they truly give the kids the love you want them to have when you as parents are gone. Cecy runs this place with your child's education in mind. I always felt like my daughter was having her mind stimulated with different sensory, letter, and science activity. The kids also spend so much time outside, there is little to no TV time. Cecy also does movie night one Friday a month so parents can have a night out and children who have graduated from Tiny Footprints can attend. My daughter loves going to this to see her old friends. I would recommend Cecy to anyone and cherish the 2 1/2 years that my daughter was here! read more

"Mommy, I had fun today at daycare!" - - this is what I look forward to hearing from my son every day that he comes home from TF. And sure enough, for as soon as he could start talking, he always does! I feel so lucky to have found TF and Cecy back in 2017. She was very energetic, has eyes on the kids even while talking to us, and you can tell she has the kids welfare and interest in mind. They always had exciting activities, like movie nights and outings, and we appreciate that they are flexible with schedule and whatever the kids (and the families) need. I always say Cecy and TF are very popular at my workplace because I could not stop raving about them, including Olivia, Babo, and the other TF kids. We even followed them to their new location because I could not think of another daycare that's best for my son. TF will always be family to us! read more

This review is long overdue. It is nearly impossible to overstate the level of gratitude I have for Cecy and her staff. The warmth, quality of care, creativity, joy, and dedication to children radiates throughout Tiny Footprints. From the daily pictures to the authentic connections made during pickup, Cecy understands the importance of sharing the details that allow working families to feel connected with their children throughout the day. I credit the Tiny Footprints teachers in helping shape my son's confidence, humor, and curiosity. I feel fortunate to have found such high quality care for my son. read more

This is absolutely my daughter's home away from home!!! I'm so thankful that I found Tiny Footprints. My daughter had been going to another in home daycare but the provider would text me to tell me my daughter was whining and crying all day and she didn't know what to do. This was stressful for me as my daughter is normally a pretty happy baby. It was not working. Luckily for me, Cecy had an opening and our life has improved immensely. They show all of the kids so much love and teach them so many things to prepare them for school. Anytime I ask Cecy for advice she has it. This is an amazing environment for all little ones and I highly recommend it!!! read more

I have 2 kids and have been taking them here for 3 years now and this place and this woman are AWESOME! She is a super mom... I wouldn't be surprised if she could juggle while taking care of all these kids. I love the play structure, toys, house, back yard, and most of all the activities. She is super good at creating fun, artistic, creative, and educational activities for the kids. My children have NEVER complained about anything here... and that is a miracle. The energy is so positive, I recommend this place 100% read more

I cannot say enough good things about Tiny Footprints. My daughter started there at around 9 months old and she is now 5 years old so sadly our journey is coming to an end as she begins her journey into kindergarten in the fall. Cecy and Olivia have taken such amazing care of her and I feel so lucky that I found Tiny Footprints. I work long hours and Cecy has been able to accommodate them, along with providing homemade meals and stimulating activities I could not have found a better place for my daughter. They send daily pictures of my daughter and it's wonderful to see her having a great time playing and doing activities. As an added bonus they have a movie night once a month where the children all stay late, eat dinner and watch a movie which my daughter loves. During COVID they have done a phenomenal job keeping the children safe, performing routine deep cleanings, daily health screenings, following all protocols and clearly communicating them to everyone. If you are looking for a wonderful, safe and secure place for your child to grow, learn and engage with other children I strongly recommend Tiny Footprints. read more

Cecy is amazing! I had to get that out! As a first time mother, I had so much anxiety about leaving my daughter (10months) so young to go back to work. I had so many emotions about it. I met so many people before meeting Cecilia, and after I met her I felt it in my heart that this was the place and the person I wanted to care for my daughter. During our time there, Cecy, her supportive team, and her amazing family really made our entire experience wonderful. My daughter was well taken care of, ate so much, enjoyed all the activities and grew developmentally is so many ways from her gross motor skills to her oral language. She 100% supported my daughter in her transition to being potty trained. This was so incredible as she learned side by side with her son, Leo. Everyone spoke both English and Spanish, it was wonderful! We spent nearly 2 years at Tiny Footprints before We moved to Pacifica. I am forever grateful for her love, thoughtful gifts, beautiful spirit during the first and most important years of my daughters life. read more

You know your child will get a fully enriching experience and expert care at Tiny Footprints. The staff is trilingual and always thinking of fun and creative ways to have the kids experience new things and learn both academic and social skills. The facility is clean, safe, and fun, and even the meals and snacks are healthy and thoughtful. Even though I would love to stay at home, I would feel secure knowing that my child is learning, playing, and growing in such a supportive environment that ensures continued success in a school setting in the future. read more

Starting with the owner Cecilia to all the staff, from the oldest child to the youngest and every parent who comes here has a smile on their face, how could you not, knowing the children are being given the openness to be themselves while learning the basic skills that they need and are lovingly helped to discover. When I met Cecilia's own children I knew my girl and I would be part of this great family. Even though she has outgrown this great experience we often visit to refresh that feeling of belonging and togetherness this daycare brought us. This daycare has also been the greatest cultural experience my child Fernanda has ever had and as international travelers we like that very much. Congratulations to those who are lucky to become part of this family. read more

My daughter has been going to Tiny footprints now for about 6 months. This has been the best experience ever, for us. I brought her to a few other places and we were not happy. Mostly because I have a very active 2.5 year old. Now, she is so happy to go there. When she comes home all she does is tell me how much she loves Cecy. Thank you so much for all your time and attention you give our little ones. I can't be happier and more greatful to have found you. read more

My son joined Tiny Footprints in March 2017 and my husband and I were new to placing our infant in childcare after having parents watch our other 3 children. Cecilia and her staff welcomed us and even provided me tissue to wipe my tears for the first couple days (separation anxiety) my son advanced so much there in just 5 months time, and had I not moved jobs out of the area, we would never have taken him out. We love and miss Tiny Footprints, but will never forget the top of the line quality care we received there. Forever in our hearts! read more

This daycare is by far the best in the area I take my boy there and nothing but joy is expressed in his face!! This will be my daycare for a while and the owner is one of the sweetest people I know thank you so much!!! :) read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Cecy, Olivia, and Ana! As a first time working mom finding a daycare was SO stressful! I originally had placed my little guy in a large well known daycare center and he got SO sick after only a few weeks of being there. I had so much anxiety when I would drop him off, that I finally just pulled him from there and began my search for a new place. One of my close friend's recommend TF to me and told me how much she loved Cecy and her staff. I immediately called and Cecy was super bubbly and sweet on the phone and I instantly had a great feeling about her. We went on a tour and my shy, clingy baby reached out to Cecy within minutes of meeting her. I'm a middle school teacher so I really wanted my son in an environment that was fun, nurturing but also educational. Cecy hits the mark every time. My son LOVES going to "school" everyday and will ask for his teachers on the weekend. He started when he was 7 months and now he's 19 months. I have no plans on moving him from TF and I am hoping the Pre School opens so he can stay until he starts Kindergarten. If you are looking for a loving environment for your child, don't hesitate to contact Cecy. read more

Tiny Footprints is a great place. The staff is very friendly here and helpful. They speak English, Spanish and Italian. Best of all, the owner, Cecy, is an awesome person and great with children! read more

Any busy parent knows how difficult it is to find good childcare. Tiny Footprints Childcare is an awesome place. The activities are fun and stimulating. The staff is very patient and attentive with all their kids. I love the ethnic diversity in the kids you see at the childcare. If you are a parent who wants his/her kid to be in a safe and welcoming environment, then Tiny Footprints Childcare is the place for you. We highly recommend it. read more

I'd like to start off by saying that tiny footprints has been a clean, organized, fun place where my children learned by playing with other children. The staff always takes into consideration each child's necessities and plans their days accordingly. They are well trained, patient, loving and energetic. We highly recommend this child care to anyone in need of a place where you feel confident that your children will receive all of the love and affection they need. read more

Thank you Cecy and tiny footprints. You have shown our lil guy so much love and care. Each day he gets to play, explore and discover new things. You have given him a safe and creative place to grow and learn. He comes home from a day with you happy and exhausted (thank goodness). We are so thankful we found you. During his time there with you and your staff Weston has mastered the art of walking, made great friends and unleashed his inner artist. read more

Tiny Footprints daycare, is a perfect mix of everything you could possibly ask for in a daycare. When I started looking for daycare for my daughter, I went to check out many other places, but none fit the criteria and high standards I believed my daughter deserved. Since the first day I went to meet with the owner Cecilia, it was immediately evident that this was the one. Cecilia is a consummate professional, detail oriented in everything she does, organized, energetic and most of all sincere. She has so much training and education as far as early childhood development. It really shows that she cares about doing things the right way. I absolutely love the fact that she focuses on healthy eating for the kids and takes the time to offer quality food. TFDC is one of the only multilingual facilities I came across in the area- of course there are many English/Spanish but they speak Italian too. My daughter has learned so much Spanish and Italian it amazes me. In addition all of the staff is well trained and they keep the facility so clean- it is admirable how they do it with all of those kids running around! On the weekends my daughter asks me if its a daycare day or not, because she loves it there so much! All of the arts, crafts, and awesome science and math based activities that they do with the kids are beyond anything I could ever ask for. I highly recommend Tiny Footprints. read more

My daughter has been here since she was about 7 months old, she is now almost two in a half. It's been so wonderful watching her thrive. My contact with Cecilia when she was in be process of attending was amazing. I liked how she handles the chaos directing in a positive way and with tons of energy as well. It's so good to know there are other languages spoken, ages and nationalities for my daughter to grow with. Even their dog is a good boy. The place is clean, organized, fun and they are good about sunscreen as the kids play outside, an important detail. I enjoy that they take little outings. The pictures she sends warms my heart and give me so much pleasure. I see that she is included in activities. The staff takes the time to fix her hair as I leave so early for wrk. I feel blessed that it's turning into a preschool so we can keep her there longer. Cecilia truly cares about children and that's such a comfort! You won't be disappointed! read more
