Early Learning Children’s Center

I love this childcare facility! My son has issues with taking the bottle and each and every teacher worked hard to research methods and ideas to help him eat. Such great dedications and care is put into time spent with the children, if you are able to spend the money on tuition I highly recommend taking your child here :)

This is an absolutely amazing care center for young children. The owner, Anne Stiles, is unbelievable and truly has a gift for working with infants and toddlers. The facility is always immaculate, and Ms. Stiles is always rearranging the room so that there are new toys and activities for the children to play with and learn from each day. She puts so much thought and care into every single aspect of the program. The indoor rooms are spacious, bright, and airy, and she has separate areas for eating and sleeping. The outdoor areas are so much fun. I was initially very nervous when I went back to work, but my little boy has loved going to ELCC from the very first day. He literally starts dancing in his car seat when we pull into the parking lot. Ms. Stiles is very particular when it comes to hiring additional teachers, so the other teachers are fantastic as well. Our little boy has learned so much from his time at ELCC, and I am so grateful that we found Ms. Stiles and ELCC. You can tell from the moment that you walk in the room that Ms. Stiles truly loves each child in her care. I have had friends and family members say just from looking at pictures that they can tell how much Ms. Stiles loves the children. I cannot recommend ELCC highly enough. If we have another child, we will absolutely take him/​her to Ms. Stiles.

This is an amazing daycare. I visited many, many daycare and in-​home care centers and this was the only place I felt good about leaving my infant son. It’s clean, it’s bright, and it’s how a daycare should look and feel. The teachers are amazing, especially Anne Stiles, and they focus so much on development. The children do art, sing songs, and there’s plenty of outdoor space and toys to have fun. My son loved the teachers… he would cry, of course, when I left, but only for a few seconds. He was loved, bonded well with the teachers, and in general was very happy there. Literally the best daycare on the central coast.

This is an amazing daycare! All of the caregivers are loving, nurturing and patient with the children. We feel completely confident in the care our son receives there as we see how happy he is and how he has been growing and learning in this environment. Every day, we receive a detailed report of his day, from naps to eating and diaper changes and activities and new achievements. We treasure these stories and insights into the little person he is becoming. They also keep a detailed journal with pictures and details about his days. This is so much more than we ever expected from a daycare! We can tell that they truly love the children. Going back to work when he was 4 months old was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But knowing he is well cared for and loved by the staff has made the transition so much easier. I can’t recommend this center enough.

This is a wonderful center. So loving and caring about every child. The owner Ms Stiles is truly talented with babies and toddlers and finds ways to support their learning and growth at whatever stage they’re in. Enrichment for the young ones is well thought out– every day new learning toys and activities to help them explore the world. The classrooms are bright, cheerful, spacious, and very very clean. My little girl saw Ms Stiles as a third parent, and would never cry when I left as long as Ms Stiles held her (which she always did!) The amazing thing is that all of the babies felt the same way– and Ms Stiles finds ways to love each and every one of them.

This is, in my opinion, the best place for infant and toddler care on the Central Coast. I looked long and hard before choosing Early Learning Children’s Center. The director, Ms. Stiles, is warm, nurturing, and very particular about the teachers she hires (this is GREAT!). When I first brought my daughter there, I was amazed at how calm the infant room was– all those babies were happy! The toddler room is very fun, and potty training friendly. My daughter isn’t potty trained yet, but I’m glad that the support is there when the time comes. Both classrooms are very clean and well taken care of. Every day I get both a written and verbal report about how my daughter’s day was. The detailed reports I receive show me that they are really paying attention. I never worry about how my daughter is doing (and I am a worrier when in comes to my kids!). We are so glad we found ELCC! Though it isn’t the cheapest childcare option, I believe it is the best, and worth EVERY penny.

This is the most wonderful daycare. I love it.
I had my daughter home with me for the first year and was dreading the thought of putting her in a daycare, I almost did not take my job because of it. The center owner, Miss Stiles is a really amazing person, she is one of the most conscientious and hard working people I have ever met, yet is incredibly warm and really connected to the children in her care. We call her the ‘third parent’. She seems to be very particular about who she hires to work with her, the rest of her staff are just lovely and share her love of their work. I have arrived at different times of the day and always find my daughter in someone’s arms or engaged in play, she is always being taken care of to the highest standard. I was especially concerned about my daughter’s sleeping habits (she often won’t nap) but they would rock her in their arms sometimes just letting her rest rather than try to force a nap. The center is spotless and every day there is a new arrangement of toys and different activities. My daughter has blossomed here. I always love that the staff always take time to talk about day to day things but also have plenty of advice (when asked for) about different stages of development. Honestly the biggest difficulty in settling my daughter in was me, they were so kind and understanding about how upsetting I found it to leave her. I recently looked back through the last 9 months of notes from the center and they tell such a lovely story of my daughter’s development, told from the point of view of people who really care about her.
I cannot recommend this center strongly enough.
