Rincon Valley Playtime Daycare & Preschool

Wendy and her family have provided a nurturing and loving environment for our son from the age of 12 months to 5 1/2. As our son heads off to kindergarten in the next couple of weeks, we will miss seeing Wendy's bright smile when we drop him off and pick him up at her beautiful home. In the 4+ years our son has spent at Wendy's Playtime Daycare & Preschool she has not only provided a cheerful disposition, she has also diligently monitored and reported any incidences with the kids, good and bad. Her daycare provides healthy lunches and a safe backyard where the kids love to play. We will miss Wendy as our son moves to kindergarten and hope that someone else has the opportunity to enjoy her care as much as we have!

After touring 8 daycares (4 organized, 4 home daycares), we went with Playtime Daycare and it was a great choice. I was totally worried about leaving my 12-month old at daycare, but Wendy is down to earth, experienced (been running a home daycare for something like 25 years), very easy to connect with, and was one of only two daycares I toured that cared about feeding the kids healthy food...plus, she understands special needs like gluten intolerance. The location is great for us (down the street in Rincon Valley) and the hours work for those of us that work long days (open 7:30am-5:30pm, Monday through Friday). When she takes vacation, she always gets a substitute so there aren't any lapses in care. And of course the most important part is our son likes her too. She has a big yard that the kids play in and it's a very casual atmosphere for kids to be kids. The kids also do activities -- coloring alphabet letters, projects to celebrate holidays like Father's Day, and other fun things. She has rules for the kids (like no running in the house) and she is very consistent in applying those rules which helps kids to know what is expected of them. She and her family are also very environmentally conscious which I like -- solar panels, rainwater catchment barrels, fruit trees. I highly recommend Playtime Daycare.
