You're Invited Children's Center - Riverside, California

This place is amazing. I bring my 3 year old daughter here everyday and she absolutely loves it. What I really enjoy about this place is that it is play based learning, so my daughter has been developing her social and learning skills all through play. Before coming here, my daughter didn’t talk much and I was worried about her speech development. Now she is able to talk much more and is even remembering her friends’ names. It’s exciting to see her development and to see that she is also preparing for Kindergarten without the added pressure of having to sit still and being forced to listen. She colors on her own, which is showing me that she is capable of doing independent work and that alone is a hard skill to develop. The staff is so friendly and they doing an awesome job at communicating along with being flexible. I work about 30 mins away from the daycare and I don’t care about that because I know my daughter loves being there and I would not change it as I see it has helped her grow. Did I mention they have shown her how to change herself? It’s pretty awesome the time and efforts they put into the kids. Also, when they can they send me photos! Great place, great prices, great hours!

My daughter (6 years old) loves coming here for the summer program! We first enrolled in the summer of 2022, and now we're back because she had so many good memories from last year! The scheduled field trips and focus on play is what she enjoys the most. I love that she gets to play and interact with other kids as well as try new activities like roller-skating and skateboarding! The staff are also very nice and friendly! I highly suggest this summer program to other parents because of all the fun activities the kids get to enjoy!

We love this place! My son was very anti-social (the affects of being a toddler during COVID), and he totally came out of his shell within the first month at You're Invited. He has friends, is cared for by the staff and has thrived under the play-based philosophy. He comes home happy with stories about what happened at preschool. Love Jamie and all the teachers who care for my son with such great attention!

I love this preschool! My daughter was able to explore and experience play that encouraged her development. She looked forward to going and developed a close relationship with the staff and her friends there. The staff always kept me informed on how she was doing and took time to take pictures which was truly a comfort to me. I felt heard and comfortable anytime I needed to talk with the staff. I could see their heart and connection with the children they cared for. Any child that has the opportunity to attend would enjoy their time here!

My son Theo went to You’re Invited throughout his first year and I never once questioned the quality of care. The staff gave me a thorough update on his day from how frequently he was changed to how much he ate. They even sent me pictures of how much fun he was having with the friends he was making even as an infant. The amount of sensory objects and fun activities they had for him was amazing. Their commitment to child driven play based activities is evident and appreciated. I am grateful for this place and the time my child was able to spend there.

My son has attended You're Invited he was 4 months old (when they had an infant center) and he is turning 6 yrs old this week. He has thrived in their unique, play based development environment. The staff have all fallen in love with my son and treat us like family. We are blessed for him to be continue to attend there in the school age program. They have a diverse staff (ethnicity and gender) and the environment provides opportunities for my son to learn social skills as well as prepared him for Kindergarten without the spirit crushing curriculums most preschools have.

Fantastic place. My child and extended family both attend, and the kiddos are thriving there. Wonderful play based daycare that gives the kids a wide range of experiences, with plenty of room and opportunity to learn and try things at their own pace. Kids get to play outside all day if they want to.

My favorite part, and part of the reason I chose the place, is that there are also men caring for the kids. It's not an all female staff.

All three of my kids have attended here, and all three have had a great experience. I like the play-based environment, because it gives my kids the freedom to explore, get messy, have fun, and all while they are safe! The staff genuinely care about the children, and this gives the place a true family feel. I highly recommend You're Invited!
