Best Day care centers in United States

Radka has watched 3 of my children with the youngest one starting this year and oldest one almost 11 years ago! I actually believe that the way she brought my oldest son up heavily influenced his respect and manners to this day. To be able to create a non chaotic environment in childcare is very difficult but she does it. The most important thing is that I KNOW she truly truly loves the children. I think what she does is amazing. I appreciate you so much Radka!

Our experience with Genius Kids in San Ramon has been truly wonderful. Our daughter, who started attending at just 9 months old with some separation anxiety, quickly found comfort and joy in the nurturing environment provided by the dedicated staff. The teachers, including Ms. Guha, Ms. Chitra, Ms. Samira, Ms. Adina, Ms Tina, and Ms. Nazmun, have been absolutely wonderful. Their love and care for the children are evident in every interaction. Each morning, our daughter eagerly anticipates her time at Genius Kids, often leaping into the arms of her beloved teachers. We highly recommend Genius Kids to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their child.

My kids absolutely loved this camp

Great

My 3 and 6 year olds had an incredible time at camp last summer and made great friends. The staff at Rolling River have been at it for literally decades and the place runs like a well-oiled machine. It's so nice to see a family business with such passionate staff. I knew my kids were in good hands.

What a great summer camp. My son has been going to Rolling River for several years now and loves it. He only has one more year before he is too old to go as a camper but he is hoping to maybe become a CIT next. He just cant get enough RR:) The staff is great and very responsive. Love it!

My two boys go to this location and the staff is great, very nice. You are updated with videos and pictures of your kids all day, which is very nice to still be able to see them throughout the day having fun and doing activities in their classrooms. They have events on certain days where the kids come with their parents and enjoy food trucks, jumpers. Both of my boys really like coming here. When your child is not feeling so well they are very attentive and quick to notify parents.

Rolling River is the BEST summer experience your child can have! It builds confidence, awareness, and friendship bonds that last long after Camp is over. Absolutely recommend allowing your child having such a wonderful, positive experience!!

We are so honored to have had Ms. Rada and Ms. Sevi in our family’s life. We began looking for childcare when our first-born was 1 years old and we were pregnant with our second child. We must have toured over 10 different in-home childcare facilities at the time. The deciding factor for us when we visited Ms. Rada’s home was that the children there when we toured the home seemed genuinely happy. The environment was warm, inviting, and fun. As soon as we decided to send our children to Ms. Rada’s, we knew that we made the right choice. My first born went to Ms. Rada’s for 5 years and our second born went there for 4 years—both until they started school. Every day, our children were excited to go to daycare. They could not wait to get to Ms. Rada’s. And when we would pick them up each day, they would tell us all about the games they played, the art projects they made, and the food they loved to eat there (even though they wouldn’t eat the same food when we made it, because we “didn’t make it as good as Ms. Rada does!”).

Once our children started school, we saw that our children were far advanced in social skills, playing with others, having good manners, and knowing their letters, numbers, writing, etc. All of this they learned from Ms. Rada and Ms. Sevi.

Now that our children have recently graduated from Ms. Rada’s, they frequently ask when they can see her again. Ms. Rada has become a part of our family—she will even have our kids over on nights when we need childcare assistance, even though our kids don’t go there anymore.

Our children love her. Ms. Rada and Ms. Sevi are so caring. We trust our children implicitly in their care. We are so blessed that she came into our life.

Rolling River Day camp is like Disney world to my son. This place is a wonderland. Every summer my son gets excited to go to camp. The staff are amazing, the activities and trips that they plan for the kids are top tier. Every day my son gets off the bus I get so jealous when he starts to tell me all the fun activities he does at Rolling River. It’s pricey but so worth every penny.

We love our Rolling River family! This is our third summer and the way they run this establishment is truly unmatched. From the amazing Goodman family, to Colleen answering any issue immediately to Lonnie making sure things are run smoothly and safely for each Mariner. They do a wonderful job 💛💛💛 my daughter cries and cries every time it ends and I know it’s due to the love and friendships she has acquired through this experience. Excited for Summer ‘24!

HUNGRY - EXHAUSTED - SWEATY BUT SO SO HAPPY at the end of each day!!!
I've been in education for 40 years the last 15 as Principal and I have never ever seen a more organized, active and happy place. The owners know every camper by name entrusted to them for the summer. The campers run to the bus each morning as the fun begins. Just drive by while camp is in session and you'll hear the happiness. Our campers (ages 4 - 4 - 5 - 8) had the best summer for the last two years and LOVE Rolling River!! We already registered for next year!!

My kids are 9 and 11 and have been going to Rolling River since they were 3. It’s a fantastic, family run day camp. My kids absolutely love it. They have had wonderful experiences there and have made amazing memories. We are so grateful for RRDC!

My step-daughter was dreading Summer 2023 and begged us to allow her to stay home. She loved camp when she was younger; but following three COVID-19 summers and a few lackluster experiences at different camps, I totally understood her apprehension (I didn't really like camp, either, growing up). Nevertheless, she is only 11, so staying home alone for the better part of 2 months was out of the question. Rolling River was the only game left in town we weren't already familiar with, so we went ahead and enrolled her. Scarlett absolutely loved it, and her mother and I couldn't have been happier. What a joy it is to put your child on the bus in the morning without that knot of anxiety in the pit of your stomach, unsure if your daughter is going to enjoy the day or come home upset. We are most appreciative!

Amazing camp… It was my daughter’s first year in camp and she loved it. Huge thank you to the staff for making sure that my daughter was always safe and happy. Can’t wait for next year!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at La Petite Academy on Market Place. From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we knew we made the right decision by bringing her here and in Ms. Kiran's preschool class. She absolutely adored Ms. Kiran and her development was evident from the moment she started and throughout her time here before she eventually moved onto TK. Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Becky were absolutely amazing support staff as well. Our daughter would always come home happy and eager to share what she learned and the fun activities she did throughout the day. Huge shoutout to the amazing Directors, Ms. Mariecar and Ms. Mamta as well! Thank you, La Petite, for all the amazing things you did for our daughter and we would highly recommend this school to our friends and family and will surely bring our future children here as well.

Horrible place. This review is long overdue but I suspect my child was being abused. I should have had them investigated for the poor oversight of children and I would have done it if I could go back in time. I would not recommend sending your childten to this place unless you don't care what happens to them.

Words can’t express how much we love Ms. Rada and the incredible experience we had with her, Ms. Sevi (Rada’s assistant) and the parents that were part of our 3.5 years there. We toured Ms. Rada’s daycare in October 2019, when I was newly pregnant. We were drawn to not only Rada’s years of experience, but to the nurturing environment that was clean and safe, has a large playroom, eating area, infant room for sleeping babies and a beautiful sunroom that overlooks the secure backyard with lots of outdoor toys. We confirmed our spot to return in August of 2020, after my maternity leave. Neither of us could have predicted that between our initial tour in 2019 and starting in the summer of 2020 there was going to be a pandemic. It made for a unique experience that required so much trust but knowing Rada had taken all the precautions to keep the kids safe and healthy, we formed our own little cohort and made amazing friends.

The amount of love that Ms. Rada has for her children/students immeasurable. She deeply cares for each child and takes great pride in reporting the daily milestones made as they learn and grow. Once our daughter reached the toddler stage, she would come home each day and report back on what healthy meal Rada served for lunch and present us with a “project” that included a weekly lesson/theme and art. Her development and progression over the past 3.5 years is phenomenal. It was a bitter-sweet day when our daughter graduated Rada’s preschool to attend pre-K as we truly feel Rada and Sevi are part of our family. Given the happy tears shared by all on her graduation day, it is evident the love that Rada and Sevi have for their kids goes far beyond their time at her school. We’re grateful that, thanks to Rada’s daily structure, our daughter will begin pre-K with an incredible foundation that includes, knowing the alphabet, counting past 25, a wide vocabulary, and great social skills like sharing with others and saying “please” and “thank you.”

We could not have asked for a better first teacher for our girl and have so much gratitude for her. We cannot recommend Rada enough!!! The bond she shares with our daughter is priceless and even though we do not get to see Rada every day, we visit often and she will forever have a piece of our hearts!

This is by far one of my worst experiences taking my child to this daycare. My child started going to this daycare in March. Everyday my child would tell me that he didn’t want to go because she is mean. As a mother I thought maybey child is saying that because she “encourages” my child to eat foods that she normally doesn’t eat. But it kept getting worse everyday and my son never wanted to go there. There was never ONE day where he was slightly happy to go. She would hold on to my leg and shake with fear when I would ring the door bell. I felt that maybe she just had to warm up to her. That day never came. Every time I asked Rada how she was doing she would take forever to respond and hardly update me on how she was doing. Rada would never even let me go inside the daycare to monitor my child. (License code violation) Rada would make an excuse and say that the children don’t know you. The last time my child ever went there was in July when my child told me that she’s scared of her and that she hit her in the head. My child was sobbing and crying as I was on my way to drop her off at the daycare. I told Rada that she won’t be going there anymore and she seemed very mad. I told her, “my child doesn’t feel safe going there anymore and she told me that you are mean to her”. I never told Rada that my child told me that she hits her in the head because I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. (Which I regret not telling her). Bottom line is please DO NOT TRUST THIS WOMAN WITH YOUR CHILDREN. I have kind of always felt like things were strange with her daycare. I don’t ever want any child to feel the way my child did.

Witnessed exponential growth socially and academically with my son. Recommend to everyone with no hesitation.

Genius kids preschool is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow. The teachers are experienced and attentive, and they create a nurturing environment where children feel safe and loved. The preschool is clean and well-maintained, and the teachers communicate with parents regularly via app.

Specially I am thankful to Ms Mani who helped my daughter.

I am particularly impressed with the way the teachers at Genius kids go out of their way to make sure the children are well-fed and well-rested. They provide a variety of healthy and delicious meals, and they make sure the children get plenty of sleep. The teachers also take the time to get to know each child individually, and they tailor their teaching methods to each child's unique needs.

I would highly recommend Genius kids to anyone looking for a quality Preschool.

Our daughter has been going to Little Lion for 3 years. The owners and staff have been absolutely amazing and we wish we could send our daughter there forever! They are extremely loving and kind, have taught her so much, and they provide a fun environment that she is excited to go to every morning.
I highly recommend this preschool/daycare, it is a treasure to have in out community.

My wife and I started bringing our son to Genius Kids when he was three months old. He’ll be two in July.

We absolutely love this place. We were so worried about separation anxiety and other factors that would make him not want to go to daycare. The teachers here are so loving and nurturing that, not only does he not cry when we bring him to Genius Kids, he gets a big smile on his face and runs to the door when we drop him off.

Genius Kids has also been a big part of our son’s learning and development. It seems like every week I notice a new skill or piece of knowledge that he demonstrates at home that he learned at daycare. I highly recommend this place for any parent looking for quality childcare.

Love the Facility and the Staff.. Everyone is super friendly. My daughter is in the PreSchool class now and has been going to Genius kid for over 1.5 year. They take care of her smallest request ,which is great to see. A lot of things they do for the little ones is above and beyond my expectation. They also provide lunch with is a big big plus for the parents to not stress about it in the morning but also for the kids to learn to eat variety of food and with their friends. They send updates and pictures throughout he day via an App which is another plus. I have seen her personality grow here in different areas from being a super quiet kid to now doing Public speaking to all the art work . It's amazing what all these kids can learn at such a young age.

My daughter enjoys being at Genius kids. I have noticed lot of improvements in her in terms of discipline, obedience and mannerisms. She has become a quick learner and finds joy in everything she does. Genius kids definitely has good staff. I am impressed 😃

Both my kids went to Ashford academy as kids and had a great experience here.

It's about money not the well being of our children. I would never recommend.

I’m new to the area just move here and my son just came this past thanksgiving I spoke with the director and everything was fine I had all my documents and information.. the teacher have no patience it’s not a diverse school and they aren’t professional they tell me one thing and my husband a different instead of explaining they don’t want to work with my child it was very heartbroken to see teachers who get pay to train kids give up on a child after ONE rough day these teachers only care about a check here

Genius Kids Infant Care is really reliable and loving! Under the great leadership of Ms Tina and Ms Megha our daughter is very well cared for at the Center. We have peace of mind with our infant when we leave her there and the teachers are very hardworking and have helped my child get into a predictable schedule. Ms Tina and her staff are very responsive and are like family! I would highly recommend this center for parents with young kids who want their children to flourish and be in a safe, supportive and loving environment.

I have been sending my 4 year old to Genius kids for almost a year and we love the school and staff. My child is always praising her teachers as they are so helpful, caring and super friendly. She enjoys her time at the school. The curriculum and opportunity for public speaking is also great and I have seen my child learn so much and gain confidence in the past 1 year. The teachers and staff plan fun activities and extra on-site classes like yoga and dance on regular basis.
The healthy lunch plan option is great and convenient for parents. The app gives transparency to parents to see what the kids are doing through pics/videos and other updates. The teachers and staff are very flexible to accommodate any request for your kid if required and are also easily available to discuss about anything pertaining to the growth and development of the kid.
I highly recommend Genius kids !!

Love this camp! I have been going here for years and it's such a pleasure to come back as a part of the staff. Great trips, tasty food, super fun activities, and never a dull moment.

I would NOT ever suggest Summer Camp. Very unorganized, They are not concerned about retaining customers and I got the impression the director does not really address concerns properly.

We have been at Ashford for four years. We love, love this daycare. The teachers and owners are like family. They are really with you through the good times and the bad. They handle themselves professionally and have developed and prepared my children for the next stage of life. I would recommend them to anyone that asked.

The center is very helpful, if you are a bmcc student and have children. They are supportive to all the parents while in school.

Lovely family-run daycare. We were lucky enough to be referred to this place by one of the moms I trust and have never looked back. My son enjoys being there, loves all his teachers, there has never been a reason for concern about his safety or wellbeing. He attended Ashford since he was 4 months and now is 3 years old. He always says at home that he loves his teacher.
All our unique needs are being recognized and there is definitely an individual approach to each child. Kudos to Ms Natasha the director who says all children there are “like her own”. It says a lot about dedication and love for this profession.

Rada's child care was everything that I can wish for my kid. I visited many Daycares in San Ramon area and I was very disappointed until I found this one. Rada's Daycare has a huge playroom with a lot of light coming thru, great outdoor space, separate sleeping area and the most important things are that everything is very clean and organized. We tried two different places each for a couple weeks before this one and "separation process" in the morning was not an easy task. On the second day here my daughter just said "bye-bye" to me , "grabbed" Radka's hand and went inside. My daughter loved been there.
I would highly recommend Rada's child care to anyone looking for a professional and loving caregiver for their child!

Rada’s day care is probably the cleanest and most organized place in the area. We were with Rada for about an year before my son turned 2. However, because of work and logistics we needed to move to a different location. What I really liked is that the play areas are well organized with a lot of play space. My son used to always come back with a project and he pretty much learned every song under the sun while attending this place.

What a great daycare! Rada has been part of our family for over 6 years now caring for our children (one boy, two girls) and we could not be happier for it. What a blessing. Our youngest, Madeleine, is still attending, still loving it and would not hear about preschool. Rada's house seems perfectly designed for a day care with large and safe play spaces, a sun room, and large backyard for the kids to run around. Whenever we've been inside the house has that homely coziness about it. Not sure if Rada was an interior designer in a previous life but the house is squeaky clean and very welcoming. Plus you always get that smile and warmth from Rada and her assistant Sevi when they open the door.
Both Rada and Sevi love children. They love playing with them and working with them. The kids were/are always happy to go and the youngest, now, takes some talking to at pick up time since she loves her friends and they are always in the middle of "the best project" or activity or play. Speaking of projects, every Friday she comes home with a bunch of them which speaks volumes. She always talks about drawing, circle time, gymnastics time and especially music. Whatever special program Rada has it's working! Madeleine seems to learn and sing a new song every week. Another thing we really appreciate is that Rada offers entirely organic food. We are mostly organic in our family as well and to me that shows that Rada cares more about the children and their development than anything else.

Overall, my family gives Rada's Little Angels the highest rating and we could not be happier having found her. Thank you Rada for being part of our lives for the past 6 years.

Rada's Day Care is Exceptional! We have been with Rada Day Care for years, and my child has grown tremendously due to the worm, caring environment at the Day Care. My child feels known, taken care of and loved everyday! Mu son can't wait to go every day back to her home! I do feel some jealousy sometimes as my son is more exited going to the day care then coming home. This is how I know he is in great hands everyday while I am at work!
I also appreciate the support that Rada has provided when we wanted to potty train our son... she is a miracle worker he was ready in less then a week I only used night pull-ups in case of accidents overnight but I felt like the easiest transition from diapers to no diapers.

I also love the time spend with the kids she invest to teach them so many thing so that they can be ready for their next step towards pre-school or even kindergarten. He comes home with a new project that he had worked on almost every day.

For all of you that are looking for day care and want to be at ease that your child is taken care of and loved while you are at work this is the place! I went through so many places that I thought that i'll never find a home day care until I went on craigslist and saw her add there. When I walked to her home I was amazed how clean and neat everything looked like. She has a gorgeous outdoor place where the kids can play during sunny dry days and a nice sunroom playroom where the kids can play and do art work when the weather does not allow it! She even has a separate room just for the little kids (babies) to sleep in.

She has been doing this for 20+ years I mean you cannot go wrong with that experience!

I just love her and my kid love her as well I strongly recommend her day care she is just amazing!

I used to work there for couple of years and my kids used to go there too. Its's an wonderful institution with wonderful people. Ms.Natasha was one of the best directors I have ever seen. The teachers are caring and well-aware of the child's situation every day. Enjoyed working there and my kids were very happy to go there.

I enjoyed my time at Ashford Academy in Dunwoody. My son attended from 3 months old to almost 2 years old. The staff always reassured me that he was being well taken care from the very first day I dropped him off as an infant. The teachers in the infant room, Ms. Alex and Ms. Husne were amazing. Although the toddler room teachers changed a few times, they still did good job by teaching the kids colors, numbers, spanish, etc. Just to name a few: Ms. Taylor, Rebecca, Stella, Rosa, Juliana, and of course Director Ms. Natasha - thank you.

Would not ever recommend this place. The director is unprofessional, she is never there to address staff or parent concerns. During a fire drill recently, a child was left alone in the building. The child’s parents were not informed. Staff is frequently left out of ratio, by the directors doing and/or with the directors knowledge. Human Resources and director do not take issues seriously, and talk about parents and children to or in front of other families and to staff. Would give it 0 stars if possible. NEVER take your child there.

Very unstructured evironment and inadequate staff to look after younger kids. My son got kicked out from camp for getting physical with kids as a way to defend himself because he was being constantly teased and bullied. While that is not acceptable the camp staff refused to take anything seriously that came to teasing or bullying. Apparently the camp is perfectly fine with tolerating emotional abuse because there no way to get hurt by that.

What an amazing year. The teachers and staff have demonstrated genuine love and support for my child and our entire family. Teachers go out of their way to communicate with parents, provide information about what's happening in the classroom, and what they're observing in your child. I have found the curriculum to be a great balance between providing ample structure and learning activities and allowing for creative expression and play. We love it here!

Fantastic school! Significant progress in just one year for my 7 and 9 year old boys!

Great school, great teachers and staff. Very safe location, away from busy streets.

I worked as the photographer for the camp, but in order to do so my 3.5 year old daughter had to attend the camp. I went on all of the trips with the kids and got to see, first hand, how much they loved it. I also knew that my daughter liked the camp because she was always happy to go there every morning. I only now realized how much she enjoyed it when she, out of the blue, said that she wanted to go to camp instead of pre K.

My kids have had a blast at their summer program

This places is a complete scam. Don't believe anything you read here. REVIEWS are FAKE! Somebody already exposed them. They have 3 profiles per same business. ALL profiles with the same people who do reviews. Weird - don't you think. All profiles are written by owners and staff. From what I know and read all over the web - Eugene (reviewer here) and Laura Z (also reviewer) as well as Mike T are people who run this place. Rest of reviewers are staff members.

2nd - I had my child there last summer and she said that it was the WORST experience in the life. She got BULLIED by other kids. Staff doesn't care! They made here feel like garbage. She was down everyday.

They have no clue how to take care of kids. Staff doesn't know either.

My son really enjoyed the camp. He really loved everything especially trips and martial arts. We signed him up for private swim lessons and he actually learned how to swim. The fact that you can deal with the owners makes a huge difference compared to camps that are managed by big organizations with employees. We just signed up for the upcoming season and are looking forward to another amazing summer.

Excellent day care and teachers! My daughter LOVES Ashford. It feels so good to have a place where I know my daughter is safe and in good hands.
I highly recommend Ashford.

We've been at Ashford for about four years - both of my girls attend there. The PreK program is excellent, and the baby / toddler classes are excellent as well. I've always known that my girls have felt love there, and that's the most important thing. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful facility! Clean, organized and fun!
