Giggles and Smiles was the BEST daycare experience we could have asked for!! The owners, Piper and Brook are incredibly kind women who understand how hard it is to find affordable child care where the teachers genuinely care about the children. We found that in Karelly, Nikki, Hannah and Yvonne and are so fortunate to have met them and have them leave their mark on our son. Would highly recommend G&S to any parent looking for peace of mind and high quality child care.

We love G&S! The directors are great and the teachers are the best! I really appreciate the open communication with the directors and teachers. I highly recommend G&S.

Management was very rude and does not support military families. If how they do business is how they care for the children I would NEVER send my child to them.

My son Perry has been attending G&S for over two and half years.When we toured the school we were immediately delighted by the cleanliness, the upbeat attitude of the employees and the tight protocol of the facilities. We visited four other preschools and they definitely stood out as the right choice for us.The school is amazing! They made potty training super easy. I really felt I only supported their efforts. I really appreciated this, especially being a first time mom. I otherwise didn’t know how to navigate this.I also appreciate the healthy eating Food program the school participants in. Not having to supply our own breakfast, lunch and snacks is one less thing I have to worry about and is awesome.Their curriculum is exceptional. I am always excited to see the pile of art projects my son proudly brings home. They cover letters, numbers, shapes and Spanish! It feels good knowing my son will begin school ahead.I am so happy we chose Giggles & Smiles. It was the right choice for my son. I am grateful for the time we’ve had there and for the positive introduction to school. You guys are amazing!!

My daughter has been here since infancy and has loved all her teachers. I've had a great experience the last 2 years.

We absolutely love Giggles and Smiles. My husband shot a promotional video for G&S before we had kids and we knew that this is where we would send our kids when we did have them - the owners were amazing and we loved the idea of a daycare that kept kids by age and also followed an educational curriculum. Fast forward a couple years and we began our fostering journey - Brooke and Piper were our first phone call and they didn't hesitate when we said we needed care to start in two weeks. We have experienced the rooms for older babies, little 2's, big 2's, a small amount of time in the 3yo room and then Ms. Diana for 4yo's and Ms. Yessica for 5yos. Ms. Diana and Ms. Yessica have been there since our girl was a toddler so they got to know her before they even had her in their classes. They always told us the best stories and had really nice ways of letting us know when her days weren't the best. Every teacher we have experienced loved our girl as if she was their own and made sure her needs were met in the middle of chaotic visit schedules that often interrupted her nap schedule. Our girl was more than prepared for Kindergarten this year and we are so grateful for her time at G&S. We now have our 2yo son there and although he is having a difficult transition (it's the middle of cold and flu season so he has missed a few days and he is only part time), nobody has given us grief about him starting the day crying hysterically down the hall and into the classroom. One of the teachers takes him from us and lets him snuggle in while she brings him to his classroom. He seems to be transitioning better and they are finally getting to know our sweet, happy boy. The ladies at Giggles & Smiles have experienced so much of our life as parents with us and have loved on our babies while we are at work in a way we couldn't have imagined. Sure, there are a few not so great reviews and everyone has different expectations of what outside childcare looks like to them, but we honestly could not recommend this daycare more!

If I could rate 0 stars I would. I don't understand how this place is still operating they claim to be clean and safe environment but one of the teachers got my daughter sick, not to mention when being bullied by others due to her needs she was not given any care or attention by the teachers. These are just a couple things I decided to mention. I would pay good money to see this place closed. There are better facilities near at a much better rate.

Had my son here years ago bad teachers work here. I had other teachers tell me on the down low that Miss Yessica mental abuses the children here. we pulled out my son and went to pepper valley. which turned out to be a great school.

Our daughter has been attending preschool here for about a year and absolutely loves it!! We used to have to fight her to go to school but not with Giggles! The staff is so friendly and super attentive to parents and the childrens needs. They also have done so well with the ongoing struggle of COVID guidelines. The school has a great classroom setting getting the kids ready for kindergarten. Also spend a lot of time actually teaching and engaging the kids in lessons. Our son will be starting there soon as well he just turned 2. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! Thank you Giggles and Smiles!

I love Giggles & Smiles. My three-year-old and six-month-old have been attending for a few months and they're thriving. The teachers are caring, creative and attentive. It's evident that they love their jobs and want the kids to grow and thrive. The owners are organized, professional and helpful. I love seeing the wonderful art projects my toddler completes and hearing her stories from the day. My little guy snuggles up to his teachers and clearly feels safe with them. And I greatly appreciate the COVID precautions the staff diligently put in place. They're amazing!

I can't say enough good things about this daycare, but let me start by saying that when it comes to a momma making the hard decision on where to place her child in the best care possible while going back to work, I am very happy with choosing Giggles and Smiles. They are so sweet and take great care of my girl. She is learning so much and is nothing, but giggles and smiles each day when I drop her off and pick her up from here. They go out of their way to go above and beyond typical daycare. Whether it's the special art and crafts they do each day, or the great staff they have, or just the way they always make you feel like family, they are by far the best place I could ever imagine sending my girl to. I started my girl here at 6 months old and now shes almost 3 and we will be continuing to go here until she is ready for kindergarten.

I love Giggle and Smiles daycare. All 3 of my children have gone to this daycare. I have been going there a total of 11 years with all my children combined. I was sad to leave this year. It was my youngest last year this year for preschool and on to kindergarten. Brooke,Pipper and Cathy are amazing. Also all the teachers there are wonderful! Mrs.Yessica, Ms.Bobbi and Mrs. Diana! Highly recommend!

Very average. The owners are clearly driven financially. The staff seem over worked and under paid. Not surprising, just disappointing. Nothing compared to our previous daycare facility where we felt they really cared about our children. Miss Bobbi was amazing, but unfortunately not all the staff was on her level. Plus, I came at lunch once… was not impressed by their canned corn, canned peaches, and beans on tortilla for food.
