Our family is incredibly grateful for this daycare and the amazing teachers who care for our daughters every day. From the moment you walk in, you notice how clean, organized, and well-maintained everything is, which gives us great peace of mind as parents.
We now have our second daughter in the twos classroom, and it has been wonderful to see how engaged the teachers are with the children. The activities and lessons they plan truly encourage growth, curiosity, and independence. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the kids and put so much thought into helping them learn and develop.
Our oldest daughter has also been attending since kindergarten and is now part of the school-age program—five years with the center. Over the years we’ve watched her grow academically, socially, and emotionally thanks to the support and dedication of the teachers and staff.
We feel very fortunate to have found a place where both of our daughters feel safe, supported, and excited to learn each day. Thank you to the entire team for the care, engagement, and positivity you bring to the children and families in your care.

Our son has been enrolled here for a little over a month now and we have had a great experience so far. It took him a few weeks to adjust, but his teachers were patient and supportive during his transition. Stephanie and Ashley have been so communicative and creative with their curriculum; I’m always impressed by all the activities they do with the kids and love feeling included in the app updates and the projects they assign. All the staff have been friendly and you feel a sense of community as you walk the halls. Great communication management as well.

We’ve had a really great experience with the center, especially since our son joined Ms. Ashley and Ms. Stephanie’s classroom. He’s only 2, and we’ve already seen so much growth in him. He’s learning to manage his emotions, follow directions, interact with other kids, communicate, and become more independent. Ms. Ashley and Ms. Stephanie are caring, attentive, and create a fun environment where he feels comfortable learning and growing.
We also love the camera check-in feature—it gives us peace of mind and lets us see what he’s up to throughout the day. The teachers do a great job keeping us updated on the kids’ activities and learning.
Ms. Kristie, the director, is wonderful as well. She’s attentive, stays on top of things, and makes sure everything runs smoothly. We’re very happy with the care our son receives and glad we chose this center!

Our 2 y/o son has been going to this childcare center for three months now and we absolutely love it! They provide weekly lesson plans tailored to the children’s developmental stages, with engaging activities like sensory play, learning experiences, and fun holiday celebrations.
One thing we really appreciate is the video surveillance system that allows parents to check in, which adds an extra level of reassurance and transparency. We also receive photos and videos throughout the day, along with updates about diaper checks/changes and feeding, which helps us feel connected to our child’s day even while we’re at work.
Miss Ashley and Miss Stephanie are the main teachers caring for my child, and they are incredibly nurturing, patient, and understanding. It’s clear they genuinely care about the children. Any incidents or concerns are handled appropriately and communicated thoughtfully.
My son genuinely looks forward to going each day, which says a lot. I also once needed care for an additional day, and they were able to accommodate him that week for a small extra fee, which was very helpful.
Overall, we are extremely happy with the care, communication, and professionalism of this center. Most importantly, we trust them with our child, and that means everything to us.

Karla, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It’s uplifting to learn how your family values the care and dedication of Miss Ashley and Miss Stephanie. We're pleased to know that the video surveillance and daily updates help foster a sense of peace and connection for you. It’s gratifying to hear that your son enjoys his time with us. Thank you for your trust and support!

As a proud godparent, I couldn’t be more grateful for the care my infant godson receives at The Children’s Courtyard in Fontana. From the moment you walk in, the environment feels warm, welcoming, and incredibly well organized.
The teachers in the infant and toddler room are attentive, nurturing, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. I’ve seen firsthand how happy and comfortable he is there — which says everything. The communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates and reassurance throughout the day. Major shout-out to Ms. Sabria, Ms. Angel, Ms. Ana, Ms. Jocelyn, Ms. Brianna thank you for all you’re doing.
It’s clear that safety, cleanliness, and early learning are top priorities. Watching him grow, reach milestones, and build early social skills in such a caring environment is truly wonderful.
I highly recommend The Children’s Courtyard to any family looking for a loving and professional daycare for their little one.
