My child started at Holmes Child Care in April 2005 and still remains in the program. I found Holmes Child Care to be very helpful, supportive, and loving. I found the staff to be more professional than any other center in Orange County that I have encountered. My child needed a number of therapist. The director helped me to facilitate and get the therapist in place. My child has tested out of all areas and now participate in all the accelerated math and reading programs and is doing very well. I applaud Holmes Child Care for there professionalism and diligence in serving my child. KUDOS TO HOLMES CHILD CARE!

I agree with the previous comment. Owner and workers are rude. Rules are made up as they go. Several parents have pulled their kids out. Enrollment is always low. They give the children pork most mornings for breakfast. They also give the kids chewing gum. 2 and 3 year olds walking around chewing gum. Wow....do not put your child here!!!!!

I wish there was a 0 star selection here. This is the most unprofessional, rude staff of people that I have ever seen choose to work with children. The director is rude and does not know how to communicate with parents. I was not given a handbook, rules were set by the day depending on their moods. I did not feel confident that my child was taken care of throughout the day. I was told personally that they don't have time to change babies when they get there with all the other kids they have to take care of. I DO NOT recommend this childcare, and I use that term loosely, to my worst enemey!!
