Hands down the best daycare. We love Teresa and would recommend this daycare to everyone!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Teresa! She has been such a positive, nurturing, and dependable presence in our child’s life. From day one, she built a bond with our little one based on trust, patience, and genuine care. It’s clear that she has a natural talent with children—not only keeping them safe and…
Our son started attending CCC when he was 9months old. Teresa is so caring and treats every child like her own. From bottle transition to potty training, she’s been so attentive and supportive of his every milestone. Our son loves going to Mrs T’s everyday and talks about his friends and wonderful adventures at…
Hands down amazing daycare!!!Teresa proved that my 2 year old WAS "emotionally ready" for daycare after we had a terrible experience with another local daycare that basically turned us away. It was all meant to be because we found CCC! From homemade Organic foods, to the constant updates and pictures throughout the…
Our 2nd daughter has been a part of Capitola childcare for the past two years and we could not be happier with the service. It feels like much more than a service, more like family. We have found the owner and lead teacher, Teresa, to be kind, reliable, and academically oriented as our daughter has gotten older. I highly recommend it to other families.
We love Capitola Child Care and Mrs. T! We have been sending our kids there since our oldest turned 1 in 2018. We have felt so lucky to have found CCC and feel like it's been the perfect place for our girls and we have made lifelong friends, for them, and for us! They both started at age 1 and have grown and…

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Teresa! She has been such a positive, nurturing, and dependable presence in our child’s life. From day one, she built a bond with our little one based on trust, patience, and genuine care. It’s clear that she has a natural talent with children—not only keeping them safe and well-cared for but also helping them grow emotionally and intellectually. She keeps our child engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor time, and learning activities that are both fun and educational. We’ve seen such growth! Her calm demeanor, communication skills, and reliability make her an absolute joy to work with. It’s not easy leaving your child in someone else’s care, but with Teresa (Mrs. T) we always have complete peace of mind. We are lucky to be a part of the CCC family! We can’t recommend her highly enough!

From homemade Organic foods, to the constant updates and pictures throughout the day, to the many cutest projects the kids bring home♡ My 2 year old absolutely loves Teresa as do we and her family!

We have felt so lucky to have found CCC and feel like it's been the perfect place for our girls and we have made lifelong friends, for them, and for us! They both started at age 1 and have grown and thrived. Never once have they not wanted to go to T's... on the contrary, they are so excited each and every day when we drop them off! We are sad that our oldest is transitioning out at age 4, but we are happy to have our youngest there for the next 2 years!

Wonderful, supportive, amazing and loving environment for our daughter!! We love CCC and Mrs. T! My daughter loves her days at school and we have really enjoyed seeing her thrive at CCC. Thank you for all you do for the kiddos in your care! 💗
After making the decision to put our son into childcarw we were very picky and always found something wrong, I found some reviews about Capitola ChildCare and I just so happened to call on a day she just had an opening for the first time in year! I met with Teresa and took my husband, he is very quiet and observant at first, at the end of the meeting we knew it would be perfect for our son bc he took an immedite liking to mrs.teresa hugging her and going right to her, which is not in our sons character with people he does not know, she works with us very well and her staff is wonderful. 100% would recommend capital child care to anyone!
Its all about trust and who you know. Looking for quality child care is hard. After seeing some of the yelp and google reviews we wanted to check out Capitola childcare. We also found out some friends used to have their children here! That also gave us added comfort. The house? facility? was really nice, a little hectic with 9 children at the time. But the staff was right behind them making sure the recently played with toys were picked up and helping the children transition into the next task, art project they were doing. A great fun backyard with an amazing sandbox, swings, areas to ride bikes and run around. They have a trampoline but have to follow the rules of one child at a time. Which is not as fun as jumping with all your friends. But it is a safety issue, and that gave us comfort. There is a board that shows the order of who is next up, so that also seems to teach the children patients, sharing and taking turns. Teresa was very upbeat, pleasant, professional, loving and caring. Her staff also gave a good vibe of just loving the children and enjoying their time there.
