Golden Childhood Days - Seaside, California

Valeria Witzig

An amazing daycare, home away from home!
I cannot be happier with our services here. Our previous daycare center got closed, so we needed to find a new provider in a short period of time.
It was our first experience with home daycare so we didn’t know what to expect.
But Sofia (care provider) exceeded all our expectations.
Convenient schedule, constant communication over the phone (she sends us videos of our daughter’s activities daily), homemade meals with organic milk and healthy products every two hours, different activities for the kids every day. Sofia speaks Russian to my baby (we have bilingual household) and created “dacha” (summer house) experience for my daughter where she is able to feed bunny and chickens, play outside, help with gardening, etc.
Sofia has a PhD in early childhood development and always gives useful advices about our kid’s milestones, behavior patterns, as well as helps with potty training. She feels a lot more like extension of the family, and I highly recommend “Golden Childhood Days” daycare

This daycare is amazing my toddler is so happy there. She's 2 years and a half and she doesn't have much contact with kids of her age and she's never been in a daycare before she has some attention issues and we are waiting for referral and diagnose. We were referred from another daycare because she couldn't adapt there. Sophia has so much knowledge about kids and patience. She cooks every meal and is nice and warm my daughter is picky about cold food and textures. She has chickens that gives eggs, veggies that she grows and bees for fresh honey which are added in your kids meals also she gets goat milk from a local farm and they help with planting seeds so they practicepatience and learn where the veggies comes from. They play with a bunny and a local squirrel always comes to visit. Security is another level. Nobody is allowed when another kids are there and has double doors to get to the exit so your kid will be safe.

Golden Childhood is a loving environment filled with rich experiences. The daily curriculum is based on academic and scientific early childhood development principles.

Kids get incredible personal attention and teaching according to their individual needs and strengths. They do drawing, painting, gardening, cooking, music, crafts, feeding animals, cleaning, and more. It is incredible for the children.

Classical music is played during working sessions to enhance little growing minds.

Sofia recently earned her Doctorate of Philosophy in Education and is a leading expert in early childhood learning and teaching. She is extremely talented and the kids LOVE her (my daughter calls her Momma Sofia).

Another great thing about Golden Childhood Days is that they check in via text or email multiple times per day with a short video of what our daughter is working on. Usually when she learns something new or to show what food she's eating.

And the food! It is worth it to send your child to Golden Childhood for the food alone. All organic, locally sourced, ultra-healthy and hearty meals cooked by hand five times a day! I honestly could not believe it. My daughter loves the food and always says it's "yummy!"

The facility is secure; a big metal gate and fence surround the property and no unannounced guests or strangers are ever allowed on the grounds.

I can't say enough good things about this school. If you are lucky enough to be able to send your child, you absolutely should! Your child will thrive here.
