ABC Child Care

This review is long overdue. ABC Childcare is a hidden gem! The prices are beyond reasonable for the area, the environment is top notch, and the attention they provide to the children is second to none.
After having our first child, we were very nervous about the thought of leaving her with complete strangers. As the primary wage earner for our family, I had to go back to work when she was 3 ½ months old. Enas helped make the transition as easy as possible for all of us. Our daughter loved going to daycare here. She had a huge smile on her face every day when Enas greeted us at the front door. She loved playing with her friends, and we knew she was always in good hands.
The space is clean, colorful, and full of things to entertain and engage young children. Enas and Ehab both seem to be great with kids. Enas was also awesome about providing detailed feedback everyday so we were in the loop on all the things that mattered to us at the time.
Sure, there were a few misunderstandings along the way, but what I think matters most is how your childcare provider reacts when there are issues. There are going to be bumps in the road, especially with first time parents who are trying to breastfeed/​pump, work full time, commute 3 hours round trip, and function at a somewhat normal level despite severe and persistent sleep dep. ;) Anytime there was a misunderstanding, Enas and Ehab worked with us to resolve the issues and ensure we were happy/​comfortable with the solution. You really can’t ask for more than that.
Sadly, we decided to leave California to move back to Indiana to be closer to family and lose our ridiculously long commutes. One of the hardest things about leaving was taking our 9 mo old daughter out of daycare because we knew how much she loved her time there. We were looking forward to her participating in the learning activities as she got older and enjoying the good organic food that Ehab and Enas provide on a daily basis! :)
Enas has been great about staying in touch. She even sent our daughter a surprise gift for her first birthday… and «baby» is still her favorite toy to this day.
If you’re looking for a high quality alternative to the large daycare facilities at a super reasonable price, don’t hesitate to check this place out. You likely won’t feel the need to look anywhere else.

So glad I found this gem in San Rafael! My daughter (3.5 years old) loves it and Enas is just awesome with her. She keeps such a clean environment with so many learning toys and activities that keep the kids engaged. She serves some good organic food that keeps me from having to worry about packing a lunch and really, everyday my daughter comes home with completed worksheets and sings new songs, I just know she had a fun day of learning. Also, I’m glad she comes home excited about being a good helper and I’ve come to see how much more polite and responsible she’s become since going here. Very reasonable rates for the area but even more so for what they offer!

Our 2 year old son really loves coming here and learns so much! He is an only child so it is very important to us that he is in a group setting, where he can learn imperative social skills like sharing, communicating feelings, etc. We strongly feel that this is a great place for that! He can be a little shy in new settings but he has adopted this as his second home, constantly telling us about his friends, and the activities they participated in. We have been going here for 1.5 years and our son constantly expresses things that he has learned at school. Also, Enas is very attentive to his behavior, health and development. Not only does she keep me updated on what goes on daily in my child’s life, but she notices when he has been learning new things at home– which is very helpful because as a parent, its important that I know what is resonating as well, and what areas we need to focus on. They have many activities that focus on age appropriate art, math, music and more. Most importantly we know our son is a loving environment that we can trust as much as he enjoys.

I love my son going to this day care! Enas who runs ABC Child Care is so great and knowledgable with children. It is so clean and cheerful with lots of toys, bright colors, and outdoor play area. She serves healthy food and the best part is my son can’t wait to go inside when we get there! I recommend to anyone looking for an awesome place for the kids! Great learning environment at a great price!

So something strange happened. The day after I left this review and had verbally agreed to more weeks of care, I was told that there wasn’t any more room for my son because «someone might come along» I was pretty surprised not only to hear that, but that it was said in front of my child.
I felt like I was not getting the entire story, but it’s a business and I think they wanted someone to sign a contract and not do drop in care like we were doing. Even though we were paying more, because we were a «drop in».
Now that I have had time to reflect on the situation there were some things that seemed not OK with my son being there.
I don’t want to say anything bad about the family as a whole. It was not the right place for us. But I felt pushed out the door with no real explanation and I felt like for them it was about the money.

Our daughter has been at ABC Child Care since she was 3 months old. I would recommend this to ANYONE that is looking for a loving place for their child. The home is always clean, the family is friendly, my daughter has never come home with anything but clean clothes and a smile on her face! Honestly the cost is great and the care is even better!
