  • We enrolled our son here when he was just 2 years old, and watching him grow over this past year has been nothing short of amazing. He is learning new things constantly, absolutely loves his teachers, and gets genuinely excited to walk through the door every single morning. On the harder days (because every toddler has them) the staff meet him right where he is. They snuggle him, give him time, and make sure he feels safe before he takes on the day. That alone says everything about the kind of people who work here. I've had that uneasy feeling in my stomach at other daycares. I don't have it here. Not once. The staff feel like family, and I mean that sincerely. The love and care they pour into my child every single day is something I don't take for granted. We are so grateful to have found this place. ❤️

  • A child's place at the ranches has been a game changer for my family. They are very tight knit and keep you in the loop as a parent. A complete 180 experience from my child's last daycare. Since coming here my children look forward to going to school and seeing their friends and teachers. One of my favorite parts of the day is picking up my babies and hearing about the new things they learned during their day. I highly recommend considering a child's place at the ranches!

  • I cannot say enough about A Child’s Place at the Ranches! I was nervous about finding an affordable and accommodating childcare center for my infant when I went back to work, and A Child’s Place eased my fears. They consistently update me about every food, activity, diaper change, and nap, and load so many videos/photos to the app that I know my child is well taken care of. The staff is welcoming, and they are like a second family. I love the little art projects that come home too! A Child’s Place at the Ranches is such a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to enroll my next little one!

  • A Child’s Place has been an absolute Godsend to us. Our Son loves going, the staff is incredible and the facility is always clean. All of the employees give off a warm feeling and you can tell how much they truly love their job. Highly recommend.

  • We are writing this review because we feel incredibly lucky to have found A Child's Place at the Ranches. They provide an exceptional environment for our 4-year-old and fantastic support for our 7-year-old. The most valuable asset here is the staff's stability. The longevity of their team is remarkable; many teachers have been there for years, creating a consistent and nurturing atmosphere. They are genuinely friendly, easy to connect with, and have built a wonderful rapport with our children—they truly feel like great friends. Our 4-year-old thrives here! The kids are always engaged in fun and creative activities, and we are so relieved that drop-offs are consistently easy and stress-free—a welcome change from previous, difficult experiences. The convenience of their hours is also a huge plus for our busy schedule. For our older child, the before and after school care for our 7-year-old is seamless. We especially appreciate the reliability of the bus service provided to and from Santan Elementary. It gives us total peace of mind knowing both girls are handled safely and reliably every day. We wholeheartedly recommend this center to any family. They offer excellent care and complete confidence in their entire program.

  • Couldn’t love this daycare more. Our girls have thrived in their programs for the last year and a half. We love their location and proximity to San Tan Elementary, Train Park, and have grown to feel like the staff are truly extended family. Both our daughters are building incredible foundations thanks to the positive influence of A Child’s Place. The fact that they have multiple staff that have been there since their existence says so much. They don’t have the same kind of staff turnover of other facilities, so it enables them all to be in sync and work so well together. Their culture is the definition of community and the loving care of their staff is priceless. We feel blessed to have such a safe, nurturing facility for our girls and love so many things they offer, including being able to communicate through their app, getting to know the staff because they actively engage and know us and our kids well, they’re always making arts and crafts, reading with the kids a ton, and they balance time in the classroom play with outdoor fun. We’ve had our daughters enrolled in full-time daycare, before/after school care, and fall/spring/summer break programs. All of them are wonderful. We have always considered their rates to be relatively reasonable for the area but a bargain for the quality and value of care provided. 10/10 recommend A Child’s Place at the Ranches.
