Sending your child to daycare can be tough, but Royal Kids has made it such a beautiful experience for our family. My daughter has been going there since last September, and she is so well cared for.
The teachers are so loving, kind, and affectionate. They treat her like family, even taking the time to do her hair! I absolutely love the photo updates they send me; it truly brightens my day. On top of that, they are always available and incredibly supportive whenever I have questions or need to check in.
Thank you, Royal Kids, for loving my daughter and taking such amazing care of her!

Thank you to teacher Maria and teacher Susana and as well the owner Azucena. Love that my youngest is learning to talk more Spanish. My oldest always talk about how they are very loving and care teachers and they teach them numbers and letters. I am thankful because they have Transportation for school from my oldest.

The owner and directors of each location has open communication as long as you reciprocate! He even learned Spanish as a bonus! Being so hesitant on childcare is understandable but working with the teachers is an important part of having a successful experience. Do not be afraid to ask the questions, do not be afraid to express concern! It’s better to communicate and best part is they are honest and very understanding ❤️

Our son attended Royal Kids for about 2 years until we moved out of town. He attended the location on 10th before transitioning to their location on 36th as that was closer to my work.
The staff are great! I toured many daycares in town before finding this gem. It was very important to me that a daycare felt inviting, loving, and clean. Both the 10th and 36th facility are bright, happy, very clean, and we truly felt like our son was well loved and cared for. Our son was almost never sick during the 2 years he attended this daycare and I attribute this to how clean they kept it! The staff were very accommodating to changing work schedules and were very comforting and understanding during emotional drop offs (separation anxiety lol).
Kiddos are sent home with their cute art work, there are plenty of age appropriate toys and it’s just a great environment. Our son was always in good spirits at pick up and we always felt comfortable dropping him off for the day. We definitely recommend Royal Kids! 🫶🏻

My daughter has been enrolled at Royal Kids since she was 1 year old, we just recently came up on 2 years in daycare. On her first day, she came home walking unassisted for the first time! My daughter hasn't always been the easiest kid to care for with health issues and suspected autism, but I have absolute faith that she is in great hands when I send her to Royal Kids. We always get progress reports from her teachers, who give us pointers on how to work through things at home as well. They throw parties for certain holidays and have spirit weeks, which make the days exciting for us parents, too! Another huge plus is the dual-language program, my daughter understands and speaks some Spanish now, which is a much needed skill in our world today! I have watched my daughter grow so much these past 2 years at Royal Kids, and watching her relationships grow with her classmates and teachers has been just as precious. We love Royal Kids and will be sending our son there as well once he is old enough!

We have had an amazing experience with this daycare. Both of my kids attend, and I truly could not ask for a better place for them to be. The staff is caring, patient, and attentive, and it is obvious how much they genuinely love and support the children. The environment is safe, clean, and welcoming. My kids are happy and excited to go each day, and I’ve seen so much growth in their confidence, independence, and routines since they started. As a parent, it gives me so much peace of mind knowing both of my children are well cared for and loved here. I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a supportive and nurturing environment.
