Miss Kathy and crew have a really thorough COVID-19 cleaning protocol with temperature checks and daily deep cleaning.
We have been at Safari Learning for about a year and a half and we just came back from 6 months off due to COVID. The kids are so excited to be back and they are loving it. They are loving seeing their old friends. Miss Kathy and crew have a really thorough COVID-19 cleaning protocol with temperature checks and daily deep cleaning. The kids wash hands in and out and throughout the day. My wife and I feel very safe and confident that the measures are keeping us all safe. The staff are wearing masks and the parents as well. We are glad to be back and feel safe and the kiddos are very engaged.
THANK YOU Safari Learning for your dedication to providing the best for your kids!

I feel confident that my daughter is in the best hands at this daycare!
My daughter has been with Children’s Learning Safari since she was 6mo old and now 2yrs old. I can’t express my gratitude for all of the staff and teachers who take care of her. Finding the right daycare is so important for their safety and learning experience. Any questions or concerns have always been answered immediately by the opener, Kathy. They have an app to monitor your child’s day (naps, meals, diaper changes and pictures) which helps ensure she is having a great day. Through the Covid Global Pandemic they have upped sanitizing, take the parent and child’s temperature during drop off and pick up. All staff and teachers wear a mask throughout the day and watch kids closely for any type of symptom. I feel confident that my daughter is in the best hands at this daycare! We love this place!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I love this daycare and have for years! Kathy and her front office staff are great! Always so welcoming and sweet! The teachers are all very sweet as well and caring with the kids! When you walk in, the place looks and smells CLEAN! Kathy continues to maintain HIGH standards for her center in all areas and now with Covid, she has a very strict cleaning and safety protocol which is comforting. Thanks to them staying open with these strict policies, I was able to keep my job during the economic shut down. You can tell there are no short cuts when it comes to cleanliness, safety and education at this center! My now 12 year old son went to this center from age 2 and graduated preschool from there! My now 6 year old also graduated preschool from this center in August and my now 3 month old who currently attends will also graduate from there in 5 years! In all of the years I have been bringing my children to this center, I have NEVER had any issues (even when I am running a little late lol).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I highly recommend this place to all working parents!
My son has been going here for just about 1 year now. He started when he was 6 weeks old. As he was our first child, we were definitely nervous about leaving him with strangers. We immediately were relieved with the amount of professionalism and personal care that our son received from each teacher. He absolutely loves them. We can’t thank Kathy and Wendy enough for not only making it easy on us, but really taking care of and loving our son. I highly recommend this place to all working parents!

Always welcoming and polite and professional.
This review is LONG overdue. Children’s Safari was absolutely perfect for our kids. Kathy (owner) was so good to us along with the rest of the staff. We never had a problem there. Always available to talk with us about anything needed. Very accommodating regarding our needs for adding our little ones last sec for child care on certain non scheduled days. Very informative about the activities of the day. Always welcoming and polite and professional. So glad we made the decision to send our two boys to Children’s Safari for the years we did. Had our oldest there for three years and our youngest was there from an infant to five years old. Thank you!! We love you Children’s Safari!

I truly don’t think you can find a better daycare.
Just wanted to update on Children’s Safari. I took my son out of daycare because I had left my job so I didn’t need it anymore. Well when I went to re-enroll my son the daycare was full at the moment. So I had to take my son to another daycare that was affordable. I found one in Chandler, and it was the same price range. I had called other places, and they were WAY more expensive than Children’s Safari. The one I found in Chandler was about the same price as Children’s Safari. This daycare in Chandler provided lunch, and you didn’t have to pay when your child was out sick. I thought it was going to be great. WRONG. My son was in there two days and I vowed to never take him back. The teachers would yell at the children (in front of me and other parents so who knows how they were after I left), were rude, and there was no security system in place. When I got there peoples’ information were sitting on the desk in a folder with social security, contact, address information, etc. I was mortified. Anyone could just walk in and enter any of the classrooms. Thank GOD, I got a call that Children’s Safari had an opening when I took him out of the Chandler place. I was BEYOND relieved. Kathy provides a CLEAN environment, I have NEVER seen any questionable behavior by any of the teachers, it smells great (the other places I toured had a horrible old smell to it), and you can’t get through the front door to the classrooms without a fingerprint and password. I truly don’t think you can find a better daycare. Please try this daycare out. You won’t regret it.

I am so HAPPY I chose Children’s Safari.
I stayed at home with my son for his first year, then he went to his grandma to get watched, so putting him in daycare was extremely hard for me. I have heard horror stories so I was EXTREMELY picky in who I chose to leave him with. I am so HAPPY I chose Children’s Safari. My son was having a hard time with his speech, and since going there he knows his letters, alphabet, numbers, and he won’t stop talking now! He is soooo happy there, and I just adore his teachers. My son started when he was 2 years old, and turned 3 now so he will be moving up in classes soon. They have been so helpful with potty training him as well, and I just can’t thank them enough. My friend also does photography for all the daycares, and when I told her who watched my son she said she was so happy I chose Children’s Safari because they are in her top 3 daycares around the entire valley (Phoenix, Peoria included). Children’s Safari is not the cheapest, however, the quality is there and that is what you are paying for. I am a single mother so saving money is a must, but this is one expense I won’t sacrifice. My son will definitely be here until he goes to school. Thank you, Kathy and Children’s Safari!!!!!

We really appreciate all of you and will miss you all dearly!
I am so excited to see my daughter beginning her education at the “big girl school” (elementary school) yet at the same time so very sad that we are no longer going to be seeing these lovely ladies everyday here at Safari Learning Center! They all are one heck of a group of ladies. My daughter has spent the first few years of her life with all of them day in and day out, Her and I have grown a great relationships with all of them and miss them terribly already! Olivia (my daughter) started at the center when she was 6 months old and she has grown so much in the time she has spent there and is now going into early Kindergarten at the age of 4. I just want to thank each and every one of those wonderful women in that building for helping raise all these great children, having the ability to love, care and educate my little girl. We really appreciate all of you and will miss you all dearly!

As a teacher, they worked with my schedule in a way no other center does.
We loved our time at Safari. We started taking my son when he was 7 months. We unfortunately had to leave because of a job/location change. For a family who’s never had to leave our son with “strangers” , we had a few bumps and uncertainty as we settled into a routine and they learned about our son. But I’m sure it’s that way anywhere. Sure enough, Safari became a second home for our son where he was cared for and loved by not only his teachers but all the staff. At Safari, they care. They get to know your child, they know them all by name. Kathy is phenomenal, she is so involved, and understands. You can always bring a concern to any of the ladies up front and they will listen and help. As a teacher, they worked with my schedule in a way no other center does. Wendy, Rebecca and Sedona are so wonderful in Joeys. Thank you ladies. If you need a daycare/learning center for your child, I would highly recommend Children’s Safari.
