She is a true blessing in our lives. She is been taking care of our daughter since when she was 6 months old. She is not only fully trained to lead a daycare, but she is also an amazing human being. She is caring and supportive of our whole family and what she offers to us goes a lot beyond daycare services. She became family! We are grateful and will never be able to thank her enough for everything she does to all of us!

We really like the fact that they pay individual attention to every single kid and take good care of them like their own. The initial days of starting daycare were a little difficult for both myself and Reyaan but the caregiver made it super easy and comfortable for us.

They have a great daycare for my son. They are very hard working, patient, and comforting towards kids. They keep children engaged throughout the day with lots of fun and learning activities. We regularly receive updates via pictures and get prompt response if we have any questions or comments. It’s a very safe and hygienic environment for the little ones where they get to make good friends as well. My son has been loving the place and comes... more

This home daycare was an excellent experience for my son. He started at 11 months and continued through 25 months. He was always happy to see the caregiver and her family, and he learned letters and numbers well ahead of schedule. He also developed a taste for vegetarian Indian food, because she home-cooked most of the food served at mealtimes. 🙂
Response from the provider:
Thank you Shawn for your kind words! Zach is a darling, he is loved and cherished by all of us here including my family.

My daughter has been going to this daycare for 15M now and we could not be happier with our experience so far. Aside from a clean safe space what was most important to me was my connected with the provider as raising an infant into a toddler is a team effort and she has been there every step of the way. When I interviewed her while pregnant I informed her there was a chance my child could have a hearing loss and she did not hesitate, she was... more

Thank you, Elisa! Your daughter's laughter and sense of humor light up our place.

Ms. S is a loving and skilled teacher and caretaker. My 1 year old loves going there and playing with her friends. She waves me off after I drop her off. There is the right mix of free play and learning there. She teaches the kids through targeted activities that seem like play to them. The kids also learn how to treat each other well. It is an extended family.
One of my children had special needs while in her care, and Ms. S handled it with... more

We have had our daughter with this provider since she was 2 months old. This provider has done an incredible job teaching not just ours, but all the kids in her care. We have seen tremendous growth in our daughter’s development, and we give all the credit to this provider for her work.

This daycare was an absolute godsend. My usual nanny had to go away on emergency leave and I searched for last minute care for my boys on a drop in basis. I was very worried that I would not find someone that I could trust and that would take care of my boys as good as I would have hoped. One of my boys has special needs and I am particularly leary of the people that I let watch him. This provider called and emailed me numerous times before and... more

This daycare has been awesome since Day 1. Our son has grown in all aspects, especially his sense of imagination and leadership. This provider and her team care about all the kids and it shows with the smile on his face each day (and the fact that he sometimes doesn't want to leave!)
This daycare is run better than many centers (much less in-home facilities) that we saw during our search and the work he brings home is more advanced than some... more
