There is no greater demonstration of trust than having somebody watch your children. My Wife & I trust Carlos & Erika implicitly. They truly care for, and love each and every one of the kids they look after. They make a big production out of every holiday, birthday and life event that comes along and it's these kind of details that set Run and Fun apart from some of the other daycares we've used in the past. Our eldest has flourished under Carlos & Erika's care, really setting him up for success with entering the schooling system. Even the team dynamic of Husband and Wife was a factor we considered when selecting Run and Fun as our childcare provider. It really is an added bonus to have a male role model around, whereas a lot of other daycares are primarily women. We could go on and on about how much we love and appreciate Carlos and Erika. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking for considerate and compassionate daycare for their kids.Quotes

Erika and Carlos are the kindest, most loving caregivers you can hope for. They have a lovely set up in their home and they truly treat the children as members of their family. I left my daughter there starting at 4 months and never for one moment worried about the quality of care. More than being watched she was loved. They serve healthy snacks and fresh food and have a great outdoor area for play as well as lots of toys, games, and imaginative play items. Also, unlike many small home daycares they are licensed. If you are looking for a small, home like care setting for your child (especially a young child) this is one of the best around. We were so lucky to have found them.Quotes

I can't say enough about Carlos and Erika. Knowing that you're leaving your child in such capable and loving hands is priceless and deserves much more than 5 stars. We were so fortunate to find Run and Fun when our son was 6 months old and he was with them until he was 4 1/2. Throughout that time, Carlos and Erika provided consistently phenomenal care. They truly love the kids as their own (and btw, their own kids are also amazing). They provide daily home cooked breakfast and lunch (often including homegrown veggies from the garden that the kids help take care of) and do a wonderful job of teaching the kids everything from letters to numbers to Spanish to manners. I would recommend Run and Fun to anyone looking for a loving family to care for their child.Quotes

5 stars simply isn't enough!!! My son was previous at another at home day care in Santa Clara and would cry whenever I left. We decided to move him to Run & Fun and I could not have made a better choice. Erika and Carlos are amazing. From home cooked meals to birthday parties to potty training and teeth brushing before nap, they know exactly what to do and make every moment special. My son BEGS me to let him stay longer in the evening when I come to pick him up. They have escalated his speaking skills and work with him every day on numbers, letters, Spanish, coloring, and so so much more. They garden during the spring and even let him bring home a carrot! There is no doubt in my mind when I drop him off day and as a mom, that is the best feeling in the world.Quotes

If I were a kid, I would want to be at Run and Fun Childcare with Carlos and Erika. In the morning they cut fresh fruit EVERY DAY for the children to eatt. In the afternoon, they cook homemade lunches and if your child doesnt like it, they are very mindful and ask the child if they want something else. They are clean, organized, loving, understanding, and truly caring for ALL the children in their care. I put my preschooler back at Run and Fun one day a week because she learned more academically in a two week summer vacation at Run and Fun than she did the first year of preschool. They are a home daycare but run it similiar to a preschool with circle time teaching kids shapes, colors, spanish, etc. I asked my 4yr old what she likes and she said, "I like it when they give me hugs." When I drop my child off at Run and Fun Childcare, I NEVER worry about her while I am working; I know she's well taken care of.Quotes
Happy parent
Erika and Carlos create a caring and nurturing environment for children. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! We have taken our older son there since he was 7 months old and he is now 3 1/2. We just started taking our younger son there and he is 8 months. It's hard enough being working parents, but knowing the boys are going to a place where they are truly loved and cared about makes it much easier. Erika and Carlos treat every child like their own and provide the attention and care needed for the children to thrive and grow. They provide a variety of activities for the children such as outdoor play, group/circle time, music time, and art time. The children learn how to work together, solve problems, and most importantly, how to become independent. In addition to all of the wonderful things going on, they speak to the children in Spanish as well as English, and even teach infants basic sign language. Our boys love going to Erika and Carlos's house everyday and we feel veryQuotes

Erika and Carlos create a caring and nurturing environment.
I have SO MANY positive things to say about our nearly 3.5 year experience with Run N Fun Childcare! Erica and Carlos are truly wonderful people who sincerely love and care for these children as if they're family, every minute of every day. Erica and Carlos provide an environment where kids feel safe and comfortable. They have exceptional skill in addressing all of the concerns/issues parents dread when dropping off their children every day. I can't tell you how many times I've seen them (quickly and skillfully) de-escalate a confrontation between two kids, or sooth a crying baby, or change a diaper while comforting a grumpy toddler. To do these things WELL in a daycare setting requires real skill, Erica and Carlos have it in spades. If you're in the process of looking for childcare, you can't do better for your child than Run and Fun!Quotes

I have SO MANY positive things to say about Run and Fun!
I cannot say enough positive things about Erika and Carlos. I was very sad to have to return to work, but taking my daughter to their home is like dropping her off with family. They truly love the children they care for as if they are their own. My daughter warmed up to them very quickly and clearly loves them as well. Their entire home has been dedicated to their daycare. There are dozens and dozens of toys and books to entertain the children. They do circle time, Spanish, teeth brushing, sign language and music. Their backyard includes a huge playscape, lovely garden and more. I have complete confidence that my daughter is not only safe and very well cared for while I am at work, but that she is also having an enriching experience.Quotes

Very happy parent
My daughter Addison has been with Erika and Carlos at Run and Fun Childcare for a few years now and we are extremely happy with amount of love and patients these two have for children. I interviewed many different home daycares and preschools; honestly this is the best. I can go to work knowing that my daughter is happy and safe. When I pick her up she would rather stay and play, that's a great sign. Erika and Carlos treat ALL the children the same and as if they are theirs. My only wish would be to leave my daughter with them through high school, because from what I can see they raise good kids.Quotes

The Best Home Daycare Around!
I think choosing a childcare provider for your child is one of the single biggest decisions you can make. Our children are the absolute most precious things in the world to us and a daycare / childcare provider will spend a significant amount of time with your child and have a significant amount of influence. Making the decision to put your child in a daycare to begin with, much less who you will select as the childcare provider, can be a difficult and painstaking decision to make. My philosophy has always been that if you find someone who truly loves the child, the rest will fall into place. Our son began daycare with Run and Fun at the tender age of 3 months and we have been nothing but whole-heartedly satisfied with the care and love they have given to our precious boy. He will turn 2 years old next month and I am proud to report that he is the happiest, most gleeful child. He is positively thriving. We trust Run and Fun Daycare completely and recommend them highlyQuotes

Run and Fun is a wonderful daycare! Erika and Carlos are very warm and loving with the children. My son is always having fun when I pick him up; well-fed healthy and delicious homecooked meals and is clearly having good socialization/learning experiences at Run and Fun.Quotes
