  • "Our son really likes going to daycare here and I am really happy with the care he receives. The staff are always happy to see him and are very attentive to his needs (allergies). The center is large and dedicated to being a daycare full time with multiple classrooms and a couple great play yards outside. Because so many parts of the community are invested in supporting VICCC, there are always ample supplies on hand."

    -Megan

  • "My daughter and I love this daycare. The staff are all so great with my daughter and all of the other kids. When we first started going in March she would have outbursts when I left her and the staff were always so helpful in distracting her and calming her down."

    -Kaitlyn

  • "They are very organized, they do teach the kids things (even in the baby room!), and the staff there has been constant in the year + that we've been there! This daycare has been by far the best one we've seen in the NRV and I especially like the fact that the class sizes are small! I feel this is extremely beneficial to the kids!"

    -Amanda

  • "Valley Interfaith Childcare Center has provided invaluable support to our family. As I transitioned back into the workforce after several years as a stay-at-home parent, VICCC offered immense peace of mind. From the outset of our child's enrollment, the care provided has been exceptional. Our child has consistently received excellent attention, and the staff maintains outstanding communication with parents. We are confident in our child's safety and well-being. The staff consistently demonstrates an extraordinary commitment to every child under their care. The directors engage in regular communication and maintain a welcoming demeanor during drop-off and pick-up times. We wholeheartedly recommend VICCC for any family seeking superior childcare services."
