What parents say
We've had a wonderful experience at Inicio. We have been with them almost since they opened and have watched them grow, adjust, improvise, and be highly responsive to the needs of children, teachers, and parents. The only other daycare we were at was also new when we joined and they had an alarming rate of turnover, to the point where we stopped learning teacher names. I understand there is high turnover to be…
Alicia Kellogg · 5/5 on Google · 7 months agoWe couldn't be happier with Inicio! The teachers and owner are all incredibly sweet and caring, always making time to connect. Our 1-year-old loves it there, and we especially love getting updates and photos of them dancing and playing soccer! Choosing Inicio was absolutely the best decision for us!
Alex & Carol Barnes · 5/5 on Google · a year agoTop notch teachers! We feel so lucky to have found this school for our infant. He is thriving. Raman is an attentive and empathetic director who engenders a strong sense of community for families, staff, and kids.
Sadie Mackay · 5/5 on Google · a year agowe were only there for short-term because we got into a place thats walkable from us but we were very sad to leave this place. my toddler loved being there and its a huge plus being right next to gilman playground. food provided in-house and everything inside is clean and teachers and director is great. couldnt ask for better daycare!
