While Educator/Student ratio is important and we keep it low, factors in the environment such as lighting, acoustics, room layout, furniture, play structures, as well as nutrition, have as significant of an impact on growth and development. Our spaces and nutrition program are specifically designed to account for these things, while also hiring a stellar, global educator team.
The SolBe Canopy School is dedicated entirely to older toddlers and preschoolers. For families with little-little ones, we have the SolBe Nursery School just two minutes down the street. It's a seamless transition as student grow—both schools share the same learning philosophy, nutrition program, global educator team, admissions team, and more. Age is the only differentiator.
Parents don't write us reviews. They write us love letters.
When it was time to send our two year old to daycare, we knew finding somewhere we could trust may be hard. We did a lot of research and found Solbe and decided to do a tour. We knew once the tour was over that we had found the perfect spot. Our daughter has flourished at Solbe and it is all thanks to the staff and the environment they have made for the children. Her main teacher her first year (shout-out to the best, Ms. JESSY!) instantly made a connection with our daughter and made her feel comfortable with the transition. The teachers give updates at pick up everyday and you really feel as if you know how your child's day was without being there. They do loads of crafts, gross motor activities and get to go outside to their own spot all the time. Our daughter has made lots of friends and enjoys partaking in new challenging activities everyday.
We are so happy with our choice and are so thankful we found somewhere our daughter feels safe, confident and loved.
SolBe Canopy is just the best. Not only is my child cared for and loved, but he's learning things I never even knew kids his age could learn!! He loves going to school, loves his teaches and we love them just as well. I'm so glad SolBe is apart of our lives, it's a really magical place. And if you're wondering about price (because we all know how expensive daycare is) its worth every single penny!
We have been a part of the SolBe community for several years now and we couldn't be happier with the care and education that our two daughters receive. Our oldest daughter started at SolBe when she was just 5 months old, and she is now 3. Our youngest is currently in the Infant Room. From the very beginning, SolBe has provided a nurturing and supportive environment that has allowed our children to thrive.
The team at SolBe is exceptional. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate our scheduling needs, which has been incredibly helpful for our family. The flexibility and understanding they've shown have made a significant difference in managing our busy lives. The educators are not only professional but also warm and caring, creating a friendly learning atmosphere that our daughters love.
One of the standout features of SolBe is their provision of food, diapers, wipes, etc. This has made our lives as parents much easier as we don't have to think about bringing food and all materials for our girls - we can just drop them off in the morning and we know that they will be taken care of. The provision of food for our older daughter has been invaluable and has helped expand her willingness to try new foods. The variety and quality of the meals provided are excellent, and we have seen a positive impact on our children's eating habits.
SolBe's mission to foster a holistic learning experience is evident in everything they do. The focus on early childhood development, combined with a strong sense of community, ensures that our children are receiving a well-rounded education. The curriculum is engaging and designed to stimulate curiosity and growth, which we have seen firsthand in our daughters' development.
We highly recommend SolBe to any parent looking for high-quality childcare. The commitment to providing a safe, enriching, and supportive environment is unparalleled. SolBe has truly been a wonderful place for our children to begin their educational journey.
I love everything about this learning center — it's not simply a daycare! You can truly see the benefits of learning and socializing compared to home care. The staff, especially in the Purple House, are a treasure — so warm and welcoming. The children receive freshly made meals daily, cooked in-house in their own kitchen facilities. Parking is available in the plaza and is convenient for the short drop-off and pick-up stays. All in all, I'm impressed and love this place!
When it comes to value, the old adage "you get what you pay for" — or better yet, "they have your most prized possession" — comes to mind. It's a little pricey, but worth the peace of mind knowing your child is in good hands.
The staff at Solbe provide my child with a loving, nurturing, environment. While helping him develop the social skills and confidence he needs for his future learning experiences. My son is greeted every day with a smile and is so excited to be at school.
After just a few months in the older toddler classroom his speech skills have dramatically improved. I also don't have any worries about his care throughout the day and can rest assure that the staff demonstrates a caring, patient, and loving atmosphere.
Not only is the building clean and nurturing; parents/guardians are issued a key fob to enter making safety a number one goal.
The program also provides a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snacks throughout the day.
Thank you Solbe for helping me build a strong learning foundation for my son!
Before finding SolBe, our biggest challenge was finding a daycare that felt like a true extension of our home—a place where our 2-year-old son could feel safe, loved, and stimulated while we were at work. We had visited a few centers, but none seemed to strike the right balance between a warm, nurturing environment and an enriching educational experience. It left us feeling anxious about whether we were making the best choice for our son's early development.
From the moment we stepped into SolBe, everything changed. The vibrant atmosphere, thoughtfully designed spaces, and the welcoming smiles from the educators immediately put us at ease. Our son, who had been shy and hesitant at other centers, instantly felt comfortable and started exploring the space on his own. That was a huge turning point for us.
Since joining SolBe, we've seen remarkable growth in our son. He's become more social, curious, and independent. The teachers do an exceptional job tailoring their approach to each child's needs, fostering a love for learning through play and exploration.
One of the standout aspects of SolBe is its commitment to providing fresh, organic meals. It's reassuring to know that our son is getting nutritious food made with quality ingredients that help him stay energized and healthy throughout the day. It's one less thing we have to worry about as parents.
Additionally, SolBe goes above and beyond by organizing social events for families, creating a strong sense of community. These gatherings have given us the opportunity to connect with other parents and build relationships, making us feel even more supported as part of the SolBe family.
For anyone on the fence about SolBe, I would say: Trust your instincts and take a visit. You'll immediately sense the difference. The dedication of the staff, the well-thought-out programs, and the genuine sense of community make SolBe a place where children don't just grow—they thrive.
Choosing SolBe was the best decision we could have made for our son's early education. We couldn't be happier, and neither could he!
