“My children have been attending Children's Choice Learning Center for about 2 years now, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the facility and the warmth it exudes. As a parent seeking a nurturing and educational environment for my child, I found that this daycare center truly stands out for several reasons.

Environment and Facilities: The first thing that struck me about Children's Choice Learning Center was its welcoming atmosphere. The center is bright and colorful, with age-appropriate decorations and learning materials that stimulate children's imagination. The classrooms are spacious, clean, and organized, fostering a sense of safety and comfort. The outdoor play area is equally welcoming, featuring age-appropriate equipment that encourages physical activity and social interaction.

Programs and Curriculum: Children's Choice offers a well-rounded curriculum that emphasizes both education and play. The center incorporates age-appropriate learning activities that focus on development across various domains: cognitive, social-emotional, and physical. I appreciated the emphasis on play-based learning, which is essential for young children to thrive. Ms. Jazmine, Ms. Heather and Ms. Jessie also integrate art, music, and storytelling, allowing kids to explore their creativity while building critical skills.

Staff and Caregivers: The staff at Children's Choice Learning Center are clearly passionate about early childhood education. I always noticed how attentive and engaged they were with the children. Each caregiver is patient, warm, and skilled in communicating with kids. There is a genuine sense of connection between the staff and the children, which creates a trusting environment. Additionally, I find that the staff-to-child ratio was appropriate, ensuring that each child receives ample attention and care.

Communication with Parents: One aspect that stands out is the center's commitment to communication with parents. They offer regular updates about children's progress and activities through the Procare App. Furthermore, I appreciated the open-door policy that encourages parents to visit and participate in various activities. This transparency fosters a partnership between the center and families, enhancing the overall experience for both children and parents.

Safety and Health Standards: Children's Choice prioritizes the safety and well-being of the children. The center adheres to strict health and safety standards, ensuring a clean and secure environment. Procedures for emergencies, allergies, and illness are well communicated, which is reassuring. They also promote healthy eating habits through nutritious meal options, helping to instill good practices from an early age.

Conclusion: Overall, our experience at Children's Choice Learning Center is overwhelmingly positive. The combination of a nurturing environment, comprehensive curriculum, dedicated staff, and clear communication makes it a top choice for daycare services. I am confident that my child is in good hands, both academically and emotionally. I highly recommend Children's Choice Learning Center to any parent looking for a daycare that prioritizes both learning and care in a vibrant and engaging environment.”

“Giggles and Smiles was the BEST daycare experience we could have asked for!! The owners, Piper and Brook are incredibly kind women who understand how hard it is to find affordable child care where the teachers genuinely care about the children. We found that in Karelly, Nikki, Hannah and Yvonne and are so fortunate to have met them and have them leave their mark on our son. Would highly recommend G&S to any parent looking for peace of mind and high quality child care.”

“Our little one has been attending Santee KinderCare for about 6 months now. We are beyond grateful for how great they have been. Firstly with dealing with us being so emotional at the first drop offs to now, helping us wean our little one to sippy cups and wearing shoes. The transition from the infant room to the toddler room is scary in general, but the staff has been great! They’re so sweet, and show so much love for our baby girl. We are so thankful for them! There’s no way we’d be able to work without them. They are our village.”
