Melanie Ciolek-Panno2024-06-09Our daughter spent nearly 2 years at C Care, and really thrived under the direction of Ms. Inoka until we move out of the area when she was 4.5. She loved her classmates and we were always very happy with the care and attention shown to the students from the teachers and staff. Our daughter has one year of preschool remaining, but she is well on her way to being ready for kindergarten thanks to all the efforts of the C Care staff to cultivate her love of learning and help her practice her reading, writing, and math skills. They also provided a very creative curriculum, from cooking experiments to science and art, and plenty of outdoor play time. We are lucky that she made such a wonderful group of friends in her time in the 3s and 4s class and we are grateful to everything that Ms. Inoka and C Care did for her.
Tara F.2024-02-23Inoka (Director and teacher of 3-5yo children) frequently asked me to write a review for C-Care. I always had a reason to wait- the communication was poor (I never knew accurate information about my baby’s diaper changes, meals, naps, etc.), she was very defensive when asked simple questions about concerns (for example, the pediatrician suggested I ask specific questions related to an allergic reaction), the behavior management strategies were all over the place (rewards, punishments, mixed messages to kids, isolating children from others either in the office or a back corner desk in the classroom for over a week) and frequent teacher changes without communication. My children have been in every room at C-Care. I feel like my experience isn’t isolated to one classroom, rather it’s reflective of the overwhelm the director and teachers are experiencing. My son described his favorite teacher as the one who “is less mean.” He also told me one day that a teacher told him and his classmates she was “going to call the police” on them. They were 3. We have given the staff at C-Care a lot of grace during the last 2+ years. Despite that, our time at C-Care ended abruptly with an email notifying us of our termination in the middle of a Friday. They sent home all of my children’s belongings that day before I had the chance to write them back or meet with them. Prior to the email I had asked for an in-person meeting to discuss ongoing concerns and to find clarity on their mask policy. They could not identify what metrics they were using in April 2023 to require masks for all parents and children 2 yo+. I never said we wouldn’t mask (we had been sending our kids there with masks on for 2+ years). I was simply trying to figure out when they might take away the mandate, if at all, so I could decide if I wanted my children to attend a school that would potentially require masks indefinitely. In 2+ years of being there I never had an in-person meeting or phone call. Just rushed conversions in the lobby in front of others or knowing others would be walking in at any time. I’ve often overheard private information about other children and families. The facility is clean and looks appealing. The kids are given a rigorous curriculum- however if you are looking for a loving community, clear communication and staff that are mindful of the children’s self esteem and well being- I suggest you look for a different school/daycare. In our first few weeks at another place my children are happier, sleeping better and haven’t once said they didn’t want to go.
Hash Andy2023-10-30If you're seeking a daycare center that genuinely prioritizes your children's development, offers a safe and clean environment, look no further than C Care Preschool. Our older child attended C Care home daycare six years ago, and more recently, our younger child graduated from C Care Preschool. While many daycares may operate primarily for profit, this one stands out because they are committed to ensuring that children leave with the ability to read, write, and do math. They invest a tremendous amount of effort in nurturing your child's development and teaching them independence. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have had them as part of our children's early education. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I always tell Parents stand out at daycare, talk to the Parents when they pick up their kids and you will know if the daycare you are looking for is the right one or not. You will not be disappointed. Every parent and child walks out smiling :)
Jenny Carpenter2023-10-11We had a great experience with Inoka and C Care Preschool. Our daughter loved attending and really blossomed while she was there. It was clear that she was learning so much every day and it really prepared her for Kindergarten. Highly recommend this preschool.
Amanda Huffman2023-10-10Both of my daughters attended/attend C Care, and I could not be happier. They provide a crazy amount of activities for the girls including art, science, cooking, and imaginative play. Each week, they bring home a folder of their creations. The teachers share videos of the kids doing yoga and dancing. They celebrate birthdays for each child as if they were the most important child in the world. When my older daughter started C Care, she didn't even know how to hold a pencil. She graduated into kindergarten this year, and she's at a first grade level. She can write short sentences, read, do addition and subtraction and even a little multiplication. My daughters even come home from school and start to pretend to be their teachers and play school. They always want to go to school in the morning. I highly recommend Inoka and her caring, professional team.
Laura Mills2023-09-19After we weren’t pleased with our overall experience in another area preschool, we found C Care and are so happy we did! The owners work tirelessly and pour their heart and soul into making school fun and enriching for all of the children. When you have a young child away from home everyday, it’s so important to feel that the adults that connect with and pour into them truly know them and love them. Though it wasn’t our first priority, a major perk was how very ready our son was when he moved on to kindergarten. He couldn’t even hold a crayon when he started. When he left he was writing, knew his letters and numbers, and was starting to sound out some words! We couldn’t recommend C Care highly enough!
Amy Granados2023-08-24C Care was amazing! I had all ages of kids there and have no complaints only love for this place and this family! We only left because we moved. My oldest did after school care there when in first grade and loved it. She also was able to do violin lessons there. Another daughter was there from 3.5-5 years a and was more than ready for kindergarten despite being the youngest in her class. Then my babies were there (1-3.5 years and 5-15 months). All of my children loved Ms Inoka. I loved the variety of lunches provided, curriculum, and out door space. If you are looking for somewhere where your kid will be happy, healthy, and have fun while also learning this is the place for you! Also great communication and really cares about families.
leila espari2023-08-13We have tried a few daycares in the area and were not happy to see how upset my niece was. But that was until I found this place as recommendation of a few mothers in the neighborhood. We signed her up and I can’t tell you enough about how happy and loved she is with this group. They are caring and very kind yet professional. My niece is excited to go everyday and I’m ecstatic to see her eager and happy to learn. Her english is so perfect considering her only being raised with another language. She learned so much in a very short period of time. It is a great feeling to know she is loved, happy, and is learning so much day by day! Highly recommended 🥰
Nicole Maleki2023-08-13I am so pleased with this place! They took care of my child like their own and after going to two Montessori preschools, I was so happy I found them. My daughter wasn’t crying before going to school and after a few weeks, she was even excited to go and see them!
Amanda McFeeters2023-06-16Terrific preschool! The curriculum sets kids up for success in school and really gives them a sense of pride. They teach by fostering enjoyment in learning. Our 3 & 5 yr old both love going to school each morning.
