Tiny Feet Daycare Goleta

We loved Tiny Feet Daycare! Our son started at Tiny Feet Daycare at 18 months all the way to 5 years old. Angie has been so attentive through each developmental stage of our son's life. From health issues, delayed developmental stages, to family issues..Angie has been there with love, wisdom, and compassion throughout our parenting journey. She also makes holidays very eventful for the kids and makes sure the kids feel extra special on their birthdays. You can tell how much love and compassion Angie and Leslie truly have for the children they care for.

My son has had a wonderful experience at Tiny Feet Goleta! My first interaction with Angie took place right before my son started at Tiny Feet, which was the same weekend that we moved to town. I was worried about the transition, so I texted Angie on Sunday, asking if it might be possible to come over and let my son meet her before starting. She responded right away, inviting me over and letting my son spend time playing and getting to know her and the space. She was so positive and welcoming, and it alleviated my stress and made me feel like we were already part of the community. From then on, Angie provided a nurturing, loving environment that made my son feel safe and happy every day. The staff is incredibly communicative and always kept me informed about his progress, activities, and anything that needed attention. They were flexible with scheduling and consistently made sure my son's needs were met, whether that was adjusting his routine or providing extra support when needed. Tiny Feet is bilingual, which was an added bonus for us. It was amazing to see my little one picking up both languages so naturally through fun activities, games, and songs. They also have lots of animals, from dogs to bunnies to birds, and the space itself is inviting and child-friendly. One of the things I'll be forever grateful to Tiny Feet for is how they supported us through the potty training process. They were patient and encouraging, and offered helpful tips along the way, which helped make the process smooth and stress-free. In short, I’m so happy to have found a daycare that’s made such a positive impact on my toddler’s growth and happiness.

I'm so happy we found Angie and Lesley. To have my son with a family that we trust is everything. Communication is excellent between us. It's clear that we are in this as a team. My son has learned Spanish and is teaching me now. I would 100% recommend Tiny feet daycare to anyone seeking childcare.

Seems like potentially a wonderful environment for toddlers & up, but I would think twice about leaving your infants here. The staff expect your child to adhere to a rigid napping schedule, otherwise expect friction/unprofessionalism. Our 6-month old lasted all of three days here before it became apparent that they were not equipped to care for children that age (despite what they offer). We had a lot of back-and-forth about how inconvenienced they were when our baby woke up "while they were doing their daily paperwork" or during "their lunchtime". They even completely disregarded the sleeping sack we gave them, and tried to force our kid down to sleep way before he was ready. All parents understand that until a certain age, babies have sleep/wake cycles that don't always jive with our personal needs. We were told he was "being fussy", and had to pick him up early on the first day. Of course he was fussy! Despite providing warm clothing, we picked up our kid twice with freezing cold hands, feet, and face. And, from our baby's 1000-yard stare, his mother and I could tell that he'd been largely ignored all day. He's an incredibly jolly kid, so this had us very concerned. When questioning the staff about these oversights, we were met with defensiveness, including lectures on "respecting them" and on how taking care of kids "is done". 2.5 days of horrible "care" for our boy, and $500 down the drain. Our previous (and wonderful!) daycare closed shop, so we were forced to look around for a new one. We were left absolutely shocked with our treatment at Tiny Feet. Again, it seems wonderful for toddlers, and I'm sure the staff is very experienced. I just had a lot of trouble stomaching the mentality they had with caring for our baby as well as their attitude towards us. I should've listened to the warning bells going off in my head when I saw how large & well-put together the place was, all while being one of the cheapest options in town... and having only *two other kids besides ours?!* Not a great sign. Keep shopping if you have A Little.

They really cared about my son Laurie, he would come home excited and tired after the day's activities. Good, competent, caregivers.
