Have to change our initial review. The old office manager Leighanne, who was a great communicator, no longer works here. It is now almost impossible to reach someone at the office by phone or email. Many calls and emails unanswered. Try harder guys Our toddler was recently enrolled here, and so far we are very impressed. It is very affordable, but they do not skimp on quality; in fact, they have more caregivers for the number of children attending than required! The caregivers have been here for a long time, which is rare in daycare and I think says great things about how staff is treated. We love that at drop off they help when there are tears instead of just leaving us standing by the door to deal with it alone. Also like that the menu is varied and nutritious. The app to follow your little one during the day is great, and we get detailed descriptions of what is going on. Finally, we feel the educational activities and developmental goals for the toddlers are appropriate and tend to cater to the more advanced children in the group, rather than the other way round, so we feel our child is challenged rather than coasting along.

We absolutely loved this daycare. My child flourished here! I'm very grateful for the staff as they provided my child and every other child so much attention and care. I highly recommend enrolling here!

I learned today that they take my 2.5 year old to visit her 10 month old brother when she’s upset and needs some cheering up. It’s little actions like that which shows how much love, care and respect they have for the kids that attend their daycare. In addition, the teachers are phenomenal and the directors welcome any feedback and criticism you share with them. They always make you feel empowered for speaking up for your child.

We have had such a great experience here so far. My daughter comes home happy and excited to tell me about her day every single day. When she has behavior problems at school, her teacher is great about communicating it in a productive manner as well as working with her to improve it. The communication in general is just fantastic. They handel split home parenting very professionally and respectfully. During parent conferences my daughter's teacher gave great tips on how to help her developmentally. Additionally, it's clear that the teachers have strong bonds with the kids which is so comforting when leaving them in someone else's care.

My children attended the center for 3 years until we moved out of the area. We haven't found child care since then that has even held a candle to Kids' Safari. The center is clean and well-stocked, the staff is kind, patient, professional and educated, the administration passionate and caring, the food is healthy and tasty, the curriculum supporting the development of the whole child. Our children and our family thrived here. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
