Reviews

Tikiland staff are accommodating, caring and suuuper responsive. Our kiddo started going there since he was 10 month old. Our original started date was in August, however, we had to postpone it due to some personal reasons and Marielle made a one time exception to accommodate thi...Read mores last minute change. Our kiddo has some separation anxiety in the beginning, and we can tell it improves by day as he gets more familiar with the staff (couple times he starts to open his arm with a big smile when we hand him over to the teachers). There was one time that we observe the kiddo was thirsty when he gets home, so I ask to give him extra water. The next day, I see him with a bottle next to him during their walk outside. This is a place that is loving, friendly and where I feel comfortable trusting them with my kid. Oh, and not to mention they have a big outside space that decorated like a mini jungle, and several cute rabbits.

We’ve been part of Tikiland for years, and I can’t say enough good things about it! My older kids went through their Infant & Toddler and Preschool programs, and now they still love coming back for the Drop-in Program whenever school is out. The staff is fantastic- kind, pati...Read moreent, and truly invested in the kids. They have the best communication, with text updates, emails, and quick daily recaps at pickup, so I always know what my child did that day. And the weekly photo updates? Adorable! The outdoor space is huge and fully enclosed, so I never worry about safety. The kids go on walks to the park and nearby school, which I love. And they’re on top of sun protection- hats on before outdoor play, always keeping the kids safe and comfortable. A few other things I love: Kids learn social skills manners and independence- it’s more than just daycare it’s an early education program. If you’re looking for a daycare that’s safe, loving, and packed with fun and learning, Tikiland is it. I’m so grateful we found this place- it truly feels like family!
