My daughter loves going to this daycare! She has been going to this provider's care since she was 4 months old and every day she is excited to go. The provider listens and works with you as a mom to make your child feel comfortable and hit all milestones.

Our son has been attending this daycare for a little over a year, and it has been such a blessing. He loves his “teachers” and all of his friends! They take amazing care of the children, and it feels like a second home for our son. The owner and her assistant are very kind, flexible, and they meet the needs of each child. I would recommend this daycare to any parent!

I love dropping off my child and knowing he is going to have a great day. They did a great job getting him acclimated and on a sleep schedule. The best part is they just TCOB. I don't need to think about anything except getting him there on time and bringing his lunch! My kid loves them so much he talks about them in his sleep 🤣

I’ve been so pleased with this daycare for our son Noah. At the age of two, he adjusted quickly and genuinely enjoys his time there. The staff are caring and attentive, creating a welcoming environment, where he feels safe and engaged. The activities are both fun and educational, keeping him excited to go each day. We couldn’t ask a better place for him to grow and learn. Highly recommended.

We are so lucky to have found this daycare. our daughter started part time at 7 months old and has been extremely excited to go to daycare ever since. Because she was having such a great time, we have recently enrolled her full time. The environment is very safe and welcoming. Every kid seems to be happy when they are there. Our daughter is developing all of her milestones early and has started to sleep through the night since starting daycare. Overall, this is a very safe and caring environment that I would recommend to all of my friends.

My 7-month old daughter loves going to this daycare! Whenever I pick her up she is always smiling at the owner and I think it's because she knows it's a safe space for her!

I couldn’t recommend this daycare more. My son started with them when he was 4 months old and now he is 18 months. They made me feel at ease with parting with my baby in the beginning and they’ve made my son feel at home. He has learned so much in the 14 months he’s been going and has made a bunch of friends. I feel so grateful to have found this daycare!

I am truly grateful to have my daughter attend this Family Child Care. As a first time working mom, I was really worried having to leave my then 5 month old in someone else's hands, but this provider has been a God send. She and her assistant love and treat each child like they were their own, and my daughter has been thriving since attending. They do a great job communicating with the parents when something is needed, and they send home daily review sheets to let us know what our children have been doing each day. Again, I can't stress enough how thankful I am to have found this daycare.

We’ve had one or both of our children with this daycare since December 2019. We love the care and attention she and her assistant has shown to our family. My kids are always happy to go in the morning and blow kisses when they leave. They have been extra wonderful recently with our son having speech therapy services and the therapist going to the daycare for some visits. They always have the best interest of the kids at heart, and I cannot recommend them more.

Both my kids were in this daycare from 9 weeks old to 3+. The owner and the caregivers loved my children as their own and provided exceptional care. They were both well prepared for pre k both academically and socially. They provide a fun and safe place for the kids to learn and grow.

When my wife and I needed to find daycare for our three month old, we were very nervous. The thought of dropping off our child, still so small and vulnerable, was frightening. The provider immediately made us feel at ease. She loved our son, and later our daughter, and they in turn loved her back. She puts safety first and our children always came home happy and healthy. I would not hesitate to give this daycare the highest recommendation possible.

Is it possible to be a first-time parent and not worry about my baby while I am at work, ever? Yes - with this provider. She truly loves the children like they are her family. She is extremely professional, taking our requests seriously while also providing suggestions for things we may not have thought of. She takes safety very seriously as well, which is a must for us (baby gates, locks front and back doors at all times, crib/sleep safety, fire extinguishers everywhere, good record keeping, etc). My sweet little baby was only 12 WEEKS OLD when we first put our trust in this provider. One year later, we have never doubted our decision. My words may seem dramatic, but, this in my baby daughter...I've waited for her all of my life and turning her over to the right person while I am at work is critical. I have to admit, my daughter runs out of our arms and into hers in the morning and cries when she has to leave her at the end of the day. None of my words in this review speaks more powerfully than that. My baby is comfortable there, feels safe, has fun, learns a lot, and loves her. One meeting with her, and you will understand.

My son attended daycare here for almost three years and we could not have been happier with our choice. This provider and her assistant truly love each and every child. The children are polite and well-behaved. It was wonderful knowing I did not have to worry while she was watching my son.

As parents, we are all looking for the seemingly impossible -- someone who will love and care for our children as we would. Someone who will see them as her own. Someone who will build family and community within the group. We want a safe, happy, nurturing place where kids can be kids -- playing, learning, thriving. The provider at this daycare is an amazingly wonderful caregiver who provides every bit of that and more. At first I was concerned that the kids would go stir-crazy in her smaller home. But she keeps things interesting and fun, and I think the kids actually appreciate the security they feel in a smaller space. She has dedicated her yard as a playground for the kids, and there is a large jungle gym immediately behind her home. Her curriculum is flexible and allows kids to be kids, great weather days to be enjoyed, and hands-on learning when the kids are ready. She speaks excellent English. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her, but mostly for me it comes down to finding someone who will love and care for your child not as an employee, but as a mother. This provider is that person, and I am thrilled to recommend her!

Our children each started here when they were just a few months old. From the start, the provider helped to make me feel comfortable leaving my babies with her. She took care of them like they were her own. She is a warm, caring, and passionate caregiver who I have always appreciated throughout the years. She and her assistants take the time to teach the children- words, colors, numbers- and creating learning activities- reading, water play, outside time, learning toys. Even now that my children are older and do not attend her daycare, we still see each other often and are always greeted with warm hugs. I highly recommend her.

Both of my daughters started at this daycare when they were 3 months old. Our girls were loved and cared for and were so excited to see this provider every morning. Now in pre-K and kindergarten, they still get excited to see her at bday parties and around Kingstowne.

My son started going to this daycare at 12 months and was with her till he started going to preschool at age 3-4yrs. The provider and her assitant are the best care providers, I couldn't say enough about them. We were so lucky to find this daycare. I felt very comfortable leaving him with them as I know they love and care about him like their own kid. My son loves it. They thought him many developmental skills. The daycare is very organized, clean and colorful with good variety of toys and books. The kids have their own fridge. Her rate is very reasonable compared to others around that area. I will recommend this daycare to any parent looking for an excellent home daycare.

Our son (almost 3) has been going to this daycare since he was 12 weeks old and he loves going to daycare. We consider the provider family and have had an excellent experience. From the first week till now, she and her assistant are always attuned to my son's mood, needs, and preferences. She always points out if he's been acting different and asks questions about whether he's been sleeping, napping, or eating normally. The provider is attentive, consistent, and extremely patient. We've appreciated her approach in working with us on his development and discipline. We're moving out of the area soon and we're very sad to say good bye. We'd highly recommend this daycare to anyone with an infant or young child.

We have used this daycare since my son was 6 months old for the last two years. My wife and I could not be happier that we made this choice. The provider and her assistant provide a loving atmosphere. We are often surprised how much our son learns there and we have become 100% trusting of the provider's decisions and regarding safety and programs.
