Toddle Flexible Preschool

I heard about Toddle from two girlfriends, who like me have two year olds and no home-​help. They raved about it and I have to say that having used it I must agree that it is AMAZING!
I agree with all the 5-​star comments above. My two and five year old have been several times and both exited delighted.
The facilities are clean and well-​maintained, the staff are warm, kind and know how to engage children and the toys and activities are tailored to the different age groups. Maria and Samantha are brilliant with my daughter and made her feel very comfortable on her first few visits when she was bit nervous about being left.
The registration is easy and reservations very simple and all done online. It is great for someone like me who just needs ad-​hoc help every so often and it has saved my bacon on more than one occasion!
Amy and Heather, the owners, are also very friendly and accommodating.
In short I am really impressed with Toddle and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

We tried Toddle today for the first time. I had a last minute (well 3 hour heads up) that I needed childcare for my 4.5 year old. I registered, reserved my time slot (lots easier than I expected), emailed a question… received an immediate email response back and had time to shower, pack a lunch and get him over there!
He had a great time! I was impressed with how much «school structured» fun learning there was — it wasn’t just a free for all. Great for kids getting ready to go into a school environment. Since my son has been in preschool elsewhere for a year and a half now he knows the drill so he slid right in. What a relief. Teacher Maria was very engaging and really treated the whole group as a class — I really liked that. They were also clearly working on their social skills — when we arrived she introduced Marco and they all said hi — and then they all said good-​bye to him as he left so he felt special. It is so much more than a daycare — even though I needed last minute child care today — I was using it as daycare and was pleasantly surprised!
We will be back!

I was in a bind with childcare last week while my 3 year old’s preschool was closed. Luckily, I had heard about Toddle, the new flex time preschool/​drop in play spot for preschoolers in West Menlo Park and sent her there for 3 half days.
I cannot say enough positive things about Toddle. The facility is clean, well designed, and has great age-​appropriate items for the children to explore. And the Director/​head teacher Maria was just incredible. She was so helpful the first morning when my daughter was ambivalent about my leaving (she had such a good time, the other days’ drop offs were uneventful), she was really engaging with the children, and I even got emails with descriptions and photos about my daughter’s time there.
I have no affiliation with this place; just a very happy customer who wants to see this place succeed.

Toddle felt right from the beginning of our tour. It is modern, fresh, eco-​friendly and smart. Maria, a director and a teacher is so professional, organized and warm! Amy and Heather, the owners are so welcoming, friendly and efficient! We got all support and information. The registration was easy!
Toddle is a flexible playcare and a preschool. You choose what works for you. Flexible playcare was a right choice for us as our son is not 3 years old yet and he loves open play. But open play doesn’t mean just open play it is a quality, smart playing with interaction and care of the teachers, socializing with playmates.
I like how Maria, the teacher talks to children using clear and kind language, giving them hugs, smiling and also teaching them to be organized by putting activities back where they took them from, reading a book and doing a project connected with the subject from the book, making sure kids eat together and also have fun playing and learning and using nature materials for different projects.
Toddle is so cute and trendy. It feels just right, smart, safe and fresh! My son is happy going there and crashes for a nap while we drive back from Toddle. His socks are sandy when I take them off while he is napping, it means he played with sand in the backyard-​it is small but functional.
