Caring Connection Children's Center

Both my wife and i are teachers and have pretty high expectations for our childcare. With that said, we are both love this place for both of our kids (age 4 and 1.5). The learning, safety, and family feel from every single one of the staff here are all 5 stars from us. Yes childcare can be expensive but we both are super happy with what our family gets at caring connections and is worth every penny. Both of our kids will be there until they age out and go to "big kid school".

My daughter has been here for almost a year now. In that time I've watched her speech develop. I've watched her grow more socially active and assertive. She loves all her teachers and comes home each day happily retelling the stories of her day. I couldn't be more thankful to have a daycare that treats my daughter so well, is close to home, and affordable. Thank you.

My son Branden has attended this school since he was about 9 months old ! He LOVES IT ! the teachers Linda and Melanie are AWSOME ! I love them and not to mention Julie is so amazing for running such an AWSOME daycare . I'm sad it's almost time for my son to leave and attend kindergarten :( they are hands on and very passionate about the children. Even when I moved out of the area I still drove 15- 20 mins so my son can attend daycare here ! They have worked with me financially over the years and really helped me out a lot . I appreciate everything these teachers have done for Branden and I'm confident he will adapt well to kindergarten all thanks to these guys ! LOVE YOU GUYS !! YOUR THE BEST !

I have had three of my four children in care at Caring Connection Children's Center in West Sacramento over the last 16 years. Julie has created a really great program for bringing up responsible and independent children. But, no program would work without great employees to reinforce and cultivate the ideas. I know that all of my children who attended this center felt loved, safe, and secure. Right now, I have my fourth little guy at the center and I am never worried about how his day will go. The current Director, Lauren, is very kind and shows much love and affection for the children. I appreciate that she is always warm and tells me stories of things that happened during the day. And the trainer and activities coordinator, Chandell, is doing an amazing job training the new staff and making sure the parents are informed about upcoming events. I noticed recently that she has also been making the sure the kids always have new little gadgets and items from nature to explore, and creative holiday activities for the children to enjoy like decorating and un-decorating a little tree with tinsel or making a felt tree with felt ornaments. The most recent activity I saw was a love bug catcher that is super cute for Valentine's Day. Exploring and learning new things in a fun way is so important for the little ones, and there is no better place at doing this than Caring Connection. Also, the meals and snacks are fresh, delicious, and provide the children with a variety of different foods to try. My child really loves Ashley, the current chef, and I can tell he really likes his new teacher Bryan too. :)

Samantha B. I dont play games with people on yelp sweetie. Im grown ok, so im not about to write a review throwing subliminal message's, im gonna address you directly. By reading your review, i know that you were talking about me. I dont know who you are, never met u a day in my life. I dont have a picture up for u to identify me, and even if i did, u still wouldn't know who i am. So why do you feel the need to write a review mentioning a situation you weren't around to witness? Especially when you weren't given the full story. If the teacher, who felt the need to talk to you (twisting) the story, wants to have a conversation about what really happened. She has my number. Also, im not the only parent who has had issues with this center, most of the complaints are about melanie, so again maybe melanie can call me (the parent of the child that was taken out of care) if that makes her more comfortable, since she wasn't interested in talking in person. If u personally have a good review about this place, then go right ahead and post it, but dont come on here trying to throw shade boo boo. This isn't the place for all that. I have every right to review and tell my experience with the buisness. You dont have any right trying to tell me what my truth is and what i should amd shouldn't be doing, unless you want to come pay these bills and put food in my refrigerator. So yea, thank u and have a blessed day, whoever you are smh.

I have not only visited this facility for years, but I have also spent time around the owner who has cared for my children at various ages/stages. I have NEVER been around a child care provider/teacher, even staff, that was more passionate about attending to not only the physical needs of children but attending to their hearts, emotional needs and their need to feel so connected, included, and esteemed. Amazing childcare, amazing and well- trained staff people. Children are safe, clean, and so cared for there.

Daycare is expensive. It's easier dishing out money when it's to a place I feel comfortable leaving my kids and know that they are engaged and loved.The staff at Caring Connection West Sac should probably get at least 50% credit for my kids being so smart. ;-)The director has always been open to listening and addressing any concerns that I may have, even in the early days of being a worried new parent.

Both of my kids have been a part of the caring connection family. It's been 6.5 years and we have no complaints. Everyone is awesome and I consider them all a part of my extended family. They've taken great care of my children and I will be sad when our time there is over. Great place for kids to learn and grow.

It saddens me to write this review because my child had some wonderful teachers while attending this daycare center and we have some wonderful memories. However, several parents and I witnessed things that ultimately led us to pull our children out. The school motto "safe, clean, and kind" was not matching what we saw on a daily basis. I would highly recommend that if you are considering this daycare, please take the time to review the recent complaints that have been filed with the State licensing board. You can easily look up Caring Connection using their license numbers 573621840 and 573621841 in the Child Care Licensing database on the California Department of Social Services website.

My son has been attending for the past two years. I was so overwhelmed when searching for the right place for him to grow and learn when making the choice to go back to work. I wanted somewhere that felt like home, that was safe, that was loving, and that would nurture my little boy. I've been so pleased with our experience. I know when I drop my boy off, he will be cared for, valued, and loved. He will play, learn, and experience so many different activities, filling his day with joy while mama is away. I know when finding the right place for a little one, it is overwhelming and there are lots of options. But I'm so glad I found Caring Connections because it keeps my boy little rather than forcing school life on him so young. No place is perfect, but all in all I highly recommend Caring Connections as my son who is now 3 has learned so much thanks in part to the staff. We love our teachers and our friends.
