I have been having my daughter go here for years. Wonderful staff. Very accommodating to my schedule and needs. I love the different options of care they give such as drop offs to school! I would definitely recommend this business!

My daughter (6 years old) loves coming here for the summer program! We first enrolled in the summer of 2022, and now we're back because she had so many good memories from last year! The scheduled field trips and focus on play is what she enjoys the most. I love that she gets to play and interact with other kids as well as try new activities like roller-skating and skateboarding! The staff are also very nice and friendly! I highly suggest this summer program to other parents because of all the fun activities the kids get to enjoy!

We love this place! My son was very anti-social (the affects of being a toddler during COVID), and he totally came out of his shell within the first month at You're Invited. He has friends, is cared for by the staff and has thrived under the play-based philosophy. He comes home happy with stories about what happened at preschool. Love Jamie and all the teachers who care for my son with such great attention!

Yesterday while driving from grocery outlet on Madison I saw two very little boys...about 3 years old walking by themselves. As a mother myself it concerned me. I turned around and drove back toward them. Right before they were going to cross the street I rolled down my window and asked if they were okay. They took off running. They ran through a front yard and squeezed through a fence which I watched and pulled up on front of and it was "you're invited Children's center". I called the number on the front twice before a woman answered and I told her two little boys were walking down Madison and ran back in after I said something to them. I saw her walk from behind the building and she saw me and asked if that was me waiting in the front. I told her yes and that the fence had a gap and the boys were getting out and in through it. She was not as concerned as I feel a daycare person should be. My children are 13 and 15 now and I do not know anyone at this location but wanted to share in the event anyone on here does send your child there...please be cautious because she isn't watching.

You're Invited offers every thing full time working parents need. Early drop off, school pick up and late pick up for those days when you have to work later than expected. With the play based system our children are allowed to be kids and learn valuable social/life skills with their peers. We have seen amazing growth with our boys over the years. I love that You're Invited helps families who can sometimes struggle to find reputable and affordable childcare within the Riverside community.

I love this preschool! My daughter was able to explore and experience play that encouraged her development. She looked forward to going and developed a close relationship with the staff and her friends there. The staff always kept me informed on how she was doing and took time to take pictures which was truly a comfort to me. I felt heard and comfortable anytime I needed to talk with the staff. I could see their heart and connection with the children they cared for. Any child that has the opportunity to attend would enjoy their time here!

This place is amazing. I bring my 3 year old daughter here everyday and she absolutely loves it. What I really enjoy about this place is that it is play based learning, so my daughter has been developing her social and learning skills all through play. Before coming here, my daughter didn’t talk much and I was worried about her speech development. Now she is able to talk much more and is even remembering her friends’ names. It’s exciting to see her development and to see that she is also preparing for Kindergarten without the added pressure of having to sit still and being forced to listen. She colors on her own, which is showing me that she is capable of doing independent work and that alone is a hard skill to develop. The staff is so friendly and they doing an awesome job at communicating along with being flexible. I work about 30 mins away from the daycare and I don’t care about that because I know my daughter loves being there and I would not change it as I see it has helped her grow. Did I mention they have shown her how to change herself? It’s pretty awesome the time and efforts they put into the kids. Also, when they can they send me photos! Great place, great prices, great hours!

My son Theo went to You’re Invited throughout his first year and I never once questioned the quality of care. The staff gave me a thorough update on his day from how frequently he was changed to how much he ate. They even sent me pictures of how much fun he was having with the friends he was making even as an infant. The amount of sensory objects and fun activities they had for him was amazing. Their commitment to child driven play based activities is evident and appreciated. I am grateful for this place and the time my child was able to spend there.

My son has attended You're Invited he was 4 months old (when they had an infant center) and he is turning 6 yrs old this week. He has thrived in their unique, play based development environment. The staff have all fallen in love with my son and treat us like family. We are blessed for him to be continue to attend there in the school age program. They have a diverse staff (ethnicity and gender) and the environment provides opportunities for my son to learn social skills as well as prepared him for Kindergarten without the spirit crushing curriculums most preschools have.

Fantastic place. My child and extended family both attend, and the kiddos are thriving there. Wonderful play based daycare that gives the kids a wide range of experiences, with plenty of room and opportunity to learn and try things at their own pace. Kids get to play outside all day if they want to.My favorite part, and part of the reason I chose the place, is that there are also men caring for the kids. It's not an all female staff.

My son has been going to the school age program for 7 years. He loves going there and has learned so much. My son has Down syndrome and for years I couldn’t find a program to take him. You’re Invited was so happy to take him and he has flourished under them. I am so thankful to have found them. I love their play based formula especially in the digital age. The staff is amazing and the program is so fun.

My daughter attended this school for about 3 years. At this school she learned how to handle confrontation and learn by play. She loved going to school and making new friends. She would get excited to go to school. Recently my daughter had an issue at her elementary school. A boy was making fun of her skin color and she was able to use her words and tell the boy she did not like that. The boy soon apologized and my daughter was able to handle the situation. This was due to her going to this school. The teachers were very big on helping the kids to use their words for confrontation. She also was able to be a kid. The school allows children to get dirty while learning. No matter how big of a mess they wanted to make or water they wanted to play in they were allowed to do just that and have fun. My daughter still talks about it and how she has fun there.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Practitioner of the Healing Arts, working in the community of Riverside for over 7 years serving marginalized communities that includes vulnerable children and families, and both of my children have grown up with the staff of You’re Invited with my intention. Not only do I know that play-based care is critical to the neurological and physical development of all children, but that a hands-off approach in the raising & support of children is necessary in their personal growth and identity. When children come together to play, and are allowed to play without constant redirection by adults or stimulating technology, they learn about their own skillsets, their need to speak up for themselves, and their need to respect the boundaries and personal space of others. Communication and Intellect are the foundations of childhood development at You’re Invited, and all interactions with children are done as a community of children while the adult staff monitor and support accordingly. Each facility is set up strategically, scientifically, interactively, and when an intervention between “friends” is needed, it is handled accordingly- including speaking directly to parents around concerning behaviors displayed by children. If you’d like your children to learn about who they are as well as how to grow alongside others, You’re Invited Children’s Center is the <best> place of care in the Inland Empire.
