Dandelion Nursery is the BEST! Being a first-time mom, I was very nervous to start daycare. The teachers at Dandelion quickly made us comfortable and I couldn’t trust them more with my little guy! We discovered our son had an intense dairy allergy while attending Dandelion and the school took every precaution to mitigate any risk of his exposure. They had mandatory trainings & changed how mealtimes were handled to accommodate his allergy. We had complete faith that they would keep him safe. The activities and lessons plans were top notch – our son really had a great day, every single day! I really enjoyed the room setups, check in/out procedures and how up to date we were on our child’s day. It was really enjoyable to have time in the mornings/afternoons to really get to know the amazing teachers! We are already missing the fabulous teachers and Directors. If you want to feel confident that your child is truly cared for at school – Dandelion is your place!!
Nora GrossJun 9, 2026Have had my son here for over a year and now have an infant here… our experience throughout the facility has been great. Communication is easy and timely, teachers are wonderful, caring, compassionate and creative. Pricing is on par for the neighborhood. Would recommend!
Julia MacLeod GraeberApr 17, 2026Best daycare! Today is my daughter's last day at CCH-RW and one of the hardest parts about leaving the city is this community. Skyla excelled in this environment full of engaging, skilled teachers and staff. Her frequent art projects and music classes were always so fun to learn about. Excellent meal program and clean, colorful classrooms. Thank you to everyone at CCH-RW for a fantastic daycare experience.
Kelly WilkieJul 26, 2022Highly recommend! Love it 😍
Naa MariamJun 19, 2022CCH River West is amazing for our son. We were hesitant with childcare for our first child during the pandemic. However, CCH River West was affordable and flexible allowing us to start out at 3 days a week. Eventually, our son had so much fun and was learning, socializing so well that we switched to 5 days a week. The staff was always attentive, responsive, and communicated very well. I would recommend this Childcare facility to anyone.
Dillon ReidFeb 25, 2022We love CCH River West! The teachers, Tierra, Yani, Vanessa, Nikki, Nora, Riley and Kate are fantastic! I felt comfortable leaving my daughter in their care which isn’t easy as a new parent. The director, Ashley and assistant director, Chelsea are wonderful at communicating updates and are always available. I love the diversity in the staff and students, and the sense of community. I highly recommend CCH River West!
