All reviewers highly recommend the facility and express plans to keep their children enrolled through kindergarten.
We have been sending our two toddlers to Safari for the past 1.5 years and we LOVE it! The teachers are absolutely amazing. Like truly the BEST. They love all of the kids like their own and our kiddos love them right back. The owners/directors are incredibly helpful any time we’ve had questions (and I’ve had many!). They also have an app where we receive updates and pictures ALL day long which is so comforting to us a parents. Our kids love going to “school” and both of them are speaking tons of Spanish. I would 100% recommend Safari and plan to send our kids until they go to kindergarten. ❤️
Safari has been an awesome fit for our daughter. She has a wonderful time when she is there and always comes home having learned something new. We love the staff, who care so much about every kid! It’s also amazing to see how much Spanish our daughter understands. Highly recommend!
Our child has been at safari for almost a year and she absolutely loves it. The staff are very caring, communicate well, and care so much about the kids. They organize little field trips, seasonal programming, and special art projects. I would 100% recommend this child care facility to any parent. Plus, they learn Spanish!
We adore Safari and are so incredibly pleased to be part of their community. My youngest child started at Safari in June 2022, shortly after they opened and it was our first experience with a fulltime daycare, having sent our older children to part time nursery school. Since then he has truly flourished and it is 100% due to the amazing care he receives at Safari. I love that they keep to a predictable routine each day with a set schedule so my son knows what to expect. His language has grown by leaps and bounds and the teachers do a wonderful job of creating a warm, nurturing environment in each classroom. We like that he is exposed to a 2nd language with Spanish and feel this will really benefit him. I don't plan to send my child anywhere else until he goes off to Kindergarten, he is already learning so much with the curriculum at Safari and I know he will be well-prepared when that time comes!
What an absolutely amazing learning center! The owners and staff are wonderful, so caring, and truly love and support your child/child’s growth. We feel so lucky to have found Safari.
