Enchanted Castle

Let me preface this review by saying my experience has not just been based on the 5 min spent dropping off/​picking up my son. I visit EVERY single day during my lunch and spend at least an hour inside the classroom, and have been able to personally witness the interactions between the teachers and children.
So I can very confidently say, Enchanted Castle is hands down THE BEST daycare, it is absolutely amazing! Literally, everything you could ask for in a daycare… caring, sweet, kind teachers, a clean, organized environment, secure, great curriculum AND affordable!
We switched my son from kindercare, the difference is unbelievable. I would also visit during my lunches and always left feeling unsettled, and concerned my son wasn’t receiving the care he needed. I never doubt the level of care at Enchanted Castle. Also, my son was constantly getting sick at kindercare, and has not been sick one time since switching to Enchanted Castle. They thoroughly clean everything daily!
The entire operation is overseen by the owner, Renee (who happens to be a retired school teacher). She has extremely high standards in the staff she hires and how each classroom is ran and it shows! My son has been enrolled in the infant program for several months now and I truly feel blessed to have found such an amazing daycare. I just can’t say enough about the teachers, it is very apparent they genuinely love and care for each of the children in their classroom. It is so sweet to see my sons face light up each time he sees Alejah, Angela, Brittany or Gloria, the amazing teachers that care for him everyday.
I am so grateful we found Enchanted Castle!

I’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences with Enchanted Castle so far. I put my son in daycare at 18 months. He had been home with me or a nanny before then, so I was of course nervous. They put my concerns at ease, and answered my (maybe excessive) questions with a smile.
The ratio of kids to caregivers seems appropriate, and better than other spots we visited. The prices are super reasonable. Everyone I’ve encountered there seems kind, genuine and transparent; I feel like my kiddo is safe and well cared for while I’m at work.
Whenever I visit, it really seems like the kids are having fun. They post activity and snack schedules, so I know what my guy is up to during the day. They send home «creative expressions» and treats for holidays.
They have a locked door with a code at the main entrance, and use a fingerprinting mechanism for pick up and drop off. They have electronic auto pay, which is very convenient.
Lastly, I’m always impressed by the ladies at the front desk — they know everyone’s names! There are lots of different age groups and tons of kids, but it’s clear that they care for each and every one.

I just started bringing my toddler here.
I take my older son to Goddard. I love the school, but couldn’t afford to bring my toddler too. My older boy didn’t want to be and away from his little brother and quite frankly it’s a bit of a hassle to drive two places on one morning when you’re in a hurry! So, my older son will be starting in less than a month.
So far My toddler has been adjusting well and enjoys his class.
The teachers so far are really nice.
Meals aren’t included so packing lunch is a must, but they do include snacks.
This school is great for lower income families such as myself, but they don’t seem to sacrifice quality for quantity.
I would suggest this school to anyone who needs an affordable daycare. I’m very excited to see how my older son will like the school although he’ll only need to go for a short time because he starts kindergarten soon!

I have visited other childcares and this one is great– hands down. Clean, new and teachers that are caring. Recommend to all parents in the area, go check it out.

This place is amazing! The staff are courteous and accommodating and I feel very comfortable with them watching my two children! Recommend to anyone looking for amazing care of your kids!

Enchanted castle is amazing. The family atmosphere and the teachers are great. All the employees really care about our children and I wouldn’t bring my kids any where else!

My children get excited to come here, and it is hard to get two 4 year olds excited to go to daycare. The staff here is always very friendly and I feel at ease when I’m at work knowing my children are safe and happy where they’re at.

I have two young daughters; ages 1 & 4. My eldest has been to two daycares during her lifetime and my youngest has been to one. Sparks doesn’t have a lot choices when it comes to daycare for children under 2. We had already been to Goddard (see my other review), and I checked out Imagination Station and Pebbles but weren’t impressed with either. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do when we loose our nanny next month.
To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t even going to check out Enchanted Castle. I had heard horrible things about KinderCare (which used to be there). I assumed it was somehow related and didn’t want to waste my time. (As it turns out the owners of Enchanted Castle own the building and leased it to KinderCare, who destroyed it. The owners took back the building, remodeled it and opened up their own school). An old teacher who I am friends with from Goddard recommend that I check out Enchanted Castle and I couldn’t be more happy that she told me to check it out.
I toured the school yesterday. I met with both the owner, Renee (a retired Washoe County school teacher) and the director Jen. The school is huge! It has a somewhat open floor plan for preschool aged children. There are lots of activities and structure. All the toys are new and the building has been fully remodeled (re-​carpeted and painted). It even smelled very clean! They have a great playground for the kids (even a basketball court) and they have astroturf!
I was very impressed with the baby rooms. They split up the babies from 6 weeks to about 1 year and then 1 year to 2 years. I was at a center before that had the room combined and that was a nightmare. They provide the cribs for the kids to nap in. It really is a nice, new center.
The tuition prices are very reasonable (prices are on their website). I will update this review once we start. I just wanted to write an initial review right now since I made the mistake of writing this place off due to the prior center that was here. I don’t want any other parents in Sparks to make this same mistake.
