About

Children need to be loved and feel that they belong within their home and school in order to thrive and develop. Therefore, we thrive to develop routines and predictability to provide children with a sense of safety and security that builds a foundation on which children can succeed. My teaching meets children's safety and security needs, and aesthetic needs by creating a home like atmosphere in the classroom. In such effort, we try to implement strategies to show and model for children what to do, creating an atmosphere for the children to practice and demonstrate their creativity, and presenting opportunities for the children to work independently.

We started our daughter at C Care just as she had turned 1, which is a hard age for a baby to start daycare. Owner Inoka and the teachers at C Care did such a good job helping her transition; nurturing her and sitting with her as she was getting used to the new environment. She quickly started loving her new school and gets excited to go every day now. Facilities are very clean and organized and they change the babies/toddlers clothes midday to... more

Inoka (Director and teacher of 3-5yo children) frequently asked me to write a review for C-Care. I always had a reason to wait- the communication was poor (I never knew accurate information about my baby’s diaper changes, meals, naps, etc.), she was very defensive when asked simple questions about concerns (for example, the pediatrician suggested I ask specific questions related to an allergic reaction), the behavior management strategies were... more

We began our journey with C-care right before the pandemic. We had heard great things and were impressed with how clean, structured, and instructional they were. As a household that works as leaders in education, we very much appreciated their approach to learning. We also appreciated the safety measures they put in place throughout the pandemic. As we began to settle into C-care, we quickly started to see the areas other parents had expressed... more

At first I thought this was going to be a good decision to have my son enrolled here - they were responsive enough, had great reviews, seemed pretty clean, and still require kids to wear masks. This ideological state lasted 1.5 days and I have never been more disappointed with an establishment ever in my life. My son, like many these days, has a food allergy to dairy. After asking all the right questions about cross contamination and snack... more

We feel extremely lucky to be part of this community. Ms. Inoka has been taking care of our five year old and teaching him a Kindergarten curriculum so he doesn’t fall behind during COVID school closings. He loves to learn with her! She has a great mix of play and learning tools at her home, and it is clear she is experienced and knowledgeable in child development.

Inoka's house has a huge, shady backyard with lots of shovels, pie pans, play houses, and other intriguing, open-ended toys for kids to work with, and knowing the value of outdoor play for small children, Inoka made sure they got long periods of time outside every day. She also was somehow able to get all the children to nap every day, which mean tour son was cheerful and healthy. Inoka is organized and energetic, and she cares for her kids like... more

This daycare/ preschool is amazing. Inoka took care of my son from 6 months until kindergarten. Inoka is a loving and nurturing provider and educator. The center is warm and loving with lots of indoor and outdoor play. I 110% recommend her. My child thrived and learned and I never worried about his care or education. A working mom could not ask for more. I will be sad when we move on to kindergarten in the fall.

Ms. Inoka took care of our child for three years, from around 18 months old until just recently at 4 1/2 years old. Inoka genuinely loves her students, and treats them with respect and kindness. We have seen our daughter thrive in her care, and become self-confident and curious and gregarious. We liked the Montessori-style program -- our kid loved learning to cook and bake -- and we liked that she got lots of outside play time. The only real... more

If we had not move away, my daughter would be with Inoka till she has to go to Kindergarten. She has been with Inoka since she was 14 months old. She has been very wary of strangers but took to Inoka the first time she met her, so that sealed the deal. Inoka is the most nurturing and loving care giver one could ever ask for. We have no family close by, and Inoka and her family were just the family we never had. They’re always there to help... more

My husband and I always felt that Inoka loved our daughter as she would her own child. Our daughter started there at 6 months old and was in PT and wearing a helmet due to torticollis. Inoka was so accommodating with our daughter’s special needs. She helped with physical therapy exercises and took our daughter’s helmet in stride. Our daughter had a lot of doctors appointments during the time we were there, and Inoka always had our daughter ready... more

We highly recommend Inoka's daycare and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Ever since our son started there, he has loved it there. Inoka and Manju are genuinely passionate, caring and nurturing towards the kids. The kids are always doing fun activities such as science experiments, arts and crafts, singing, baking and spend A LOT of time outside. Our son made so many best friends at Inoka's daycare and two years after he... more

My son and I absolutely love Inoka. He started full-time daycare with Inoka at 3 months old. From day one he’s been all smiles at drop off and pick up. I’m sure I cried more than he did. Inoka has always been very accommodating to our family’s schedule and is very easy to talk to about any concerns. I’ve always felt that I can communicate easily and comfortably with her about my son and vice versa. What I appreciate most is her patience and care... more

We had a very positive experience with C Care. While my daughter Zoe was only able to stay there for a short time, due to us moving out of state, she thrived during the short time she was there. Prior to that she had not been in daycare, and C Care offered the option for her to enroll part-time (3 days per week) which was ideal for us. Without any intervention on my part, Zoe started voluntarily using the potty at home, I think because she was... more

My almost 2 year old has been going to C Child Care since he was about 8 weeks old. He has absolutely thrived with Inoka's care. He loves doing crafts in the morning and does really well with the play-based learning approach. I love that he gets to play outside most days and that he is always happy to go to school. He clearly loves it and I do too!

My husband and I took our son to Inoka starting at four months until 18 months (we moved out of the area when our son was 18 months). We were so impressed with Inoka and her facility because it was obvious to us how much pride she takes in what she does, from arranging indoor and outdoor activities, to teaching the children baby yoga and sign language. We were struck by her level of dedication and intimate knowledge about child development. For... more

Inoka and her staff, Manju and Sonia, are amazing! She is genuinely concerned and involved in our daughter’s development. You can see and feel the love she has for the children she cares for. She’s incredibly helpful with advice and suggestions, as this is our first child. They have a solid routine with play (inside and outside) and learning songs, numbers, and words. Our little one has developed quickly for her age, and we have no doubt Inoka’s... more

My husband and I feel so grateful that we found Inoka and her family to care for our daughter. She begin attending C Care in August of 2014 and we couldn't be happier with the care she is receiving. It is very apparent that Inoka loves all the children as if they were her own. The facility is very clean and the children are so excited to see Inoka in the morning. There are many educational and fun toys and activities for the kids both inside... more

My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Inoka. She has an amazing knowledge of child development and plans wonderful activities for the children everyday. But even more importantly she clearly loves what she does and the children she cares for and it's clear that the children adore her as well. She goes above and beyond - she always checks in when my son is out sick and provides great advice based on her many years experience both as a... more

After having my three month daughter at daycare for one week I was having second thoughts. I had just returned to work and it seemed like my daughter wasn’t getting the individual care that an infant needs. The facilty she was at was safe and all her diapering and food needs were met, but it didn’t feel right. As a first time mom I thought maybe I was overreacting, but then I found Inoka. As soon as I met her I knew we had found the right place.... more

We are so glad we found Inoka! Our kids love going to daycare, and it's obvious that they are very much loved by Inoka and her family. They come home with art projects and new words every week, and they get to play outside almost every day. Inoka goes above and beyond in so many ways - she hosts birthday and Christmas parties and sends fun photos of the kids playing. Her new home is so spacious, and the daycare space is so bright and cheerful.
