Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Daly City Westlake Licensed Childcare has been providing the best childcare to our several children for several years from birth until they go to kindergarten. The Director and her assistant are always very warm, kind, nurturing and provide the best care. I am a high school teacher and feel that I am a good at evaluating students, situations, and services. Our children look forward to going to this daycare becuase it is a very nurturing enviornment, the food is very good, and the back yard is entirly devoted with age appropriate toys. It is very clean and well-maintained. We highly recommend this Licensed Child Care. Donna

OVERALL RATING (5.0) Five Stars
Parents' Opinions
Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children: are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
This is a home based large state licensed daycare. The home is immaculately kept, the toys are plentiful and clean, and our children love the Director and her assistant. The food is always plentiful and nutritious and is in compliance with the Federal Hot Food program overseen by the San Francisco Children's Council and the 4 Cs Childcare Coodinating Council of San Mateo County. This facility is always very easy to get to in the prime Westlake neighborhood.
