Its a family when you start your journey there. The learning activities she teach is wonderful, outstanding and the kids are happy to be there. I wouldn't choose to put my son anywhere else, but here. My child has improved so much, from educational, stepping out of being shy,  and improving his vocabulary. Its just a great place to have your family apart of. Also its very organize, on time, and well managed. I don't know how Mr. And Mrs. Ballena does it, but they do it very well.

Perfect blend of structure, fun, learning, caring environment & flexible hours. After many, many visits to home daycare centers we chose this one because of cleanliness, friendliness, and curriculum. My 2 girls started going when they were just 5 months & 2 years old, they enjoyed & looked forward to every day there & I enjoyed the peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of while I was away.  The level of care and teaching was above my expectations of any type of daycare facility. Even though It's been almost 2 years since we've moved away, my girls still remember & miss their caregivers, the Ballena Family & their staff have created so many wonderful lifetime memories for them. I have struggled since then to find someone comparable to them but, sorry to say, none has come close. Thank you sooooo much Ballena Family Child Care for the wonderful care you provide :)","rating":5,"date_published":"2016-31-01"},{"author_name":"Jessica W.","review_text":"WE LOVE LOVE LOVE Ballena Child Care! Our son who was born pre-mature once had physical & speech therapy. After a couple months at Ballena Child Care he doesn't even  qualify anymore.

We are forever grateful  from Mrs. Cindy and her team!","rating":5,"date_published":"2016-22-01"},{"author_name":"Sabrina J.","review_text":"This place combines the carrying atmosphere of a home with the fun and activities of an early pre school.

My 2yr and 3yr old attends and they have so much fun being there. The children feel welcome and comfortable and they have lots of excellent activities throughout the day for the children. The most important thing I like about the childcare is that it's like a preschool. The kids are learning and being prepared for when it's time to branch out and go to school. My two little one's are learning a lot and I really appreciate that. Awesome place to bring your children.","rating":5,"date_published":"2014-19-06"},{"author_name":"Michael  P.","review_text":"I have so much to say about this childcare care I am the father of a 3yr old that attends ballena child care  we wanted our son to go somewhere he could expand his abbilty to comunicate with other children and as well  learn what was expected at his age!!!

I wanted a facility that gave my son the best and had curriculum !!not just him sitting around a house watching cartoons all day!!!! I went to many child care facility's around here and walked straight out not satisfied one bit! my son transferred from a kindercare where we use to live and I refused to put him back in the one near by!!! I went to a couple home daycare and again walked out!!! I finally found Ballena child care and have been satisfied since the day I walked in just to meet the whole staff !!!  My son is 3 and has learned on and beyond what I expected... Mrs Cindy Mr Walter and staff are the example of what and how a child care should be !!! I am expecting another child and know when I have to return back to work I would know my infant would be in the best of care !! I highly recommend Ballena child care !!! It's not only her home but it's a safe a loving place where I know all the children are comfortable and Well taken care of !!!

The preschool curriculum and school setting is great and get your kids ready for kinder, 1st, 2nd grade and so on.
