When I first moved to the area, I was searching for a positive and nurturing environment for my children. Out of all the daycares I visited, Ms. Lillia’s stood out immediately. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and she consistently demonstrates professionalism and genuine care. She is always organized and ensures parents are informed about school closings, schedule changes, or any important updates. My children have been with Ms. Lillia since they were infants—now they’re in 2nd and 1st grade—and they still enjoy every visit. Her daycare truly feels like an extension of our family, providing a safe, loving, and supportive environment. I highly recommend Ms. Lillia’s daycare to any parent seeking exceptional care for their children.
Response from the provider:

Your recommendation and continued support inspire us to keep providing the best care and nurturing environment possible. 💕 With gratitude, Ms. Lillia

I have been with Miss Lilia for over 11 years. She has cared for my 13-year-old since he was 1 and a half years old, my 10-year-old since he was 6 months old, and my 9-year-old since he was just 3 months old. Miss Lilia is an exceptional individual, and I have never had any reason to complain about her dedication or professionalism when it comes to caring for children. Thanks to the early education she provided, my two older children were well prepared to enter school. She is extremely responsible, reliable, and wholeheartedly committed to the well-being and development of the children in her care. Rainbow Family Daycare has truly become a second home for my family. Miss Lilia fosters a nurturing and family-like environment that makes us feel welcome, supported, and at ease. Without a doubt, it is like our second home.

Rainbow Family Child Care, owned by Lilia Valencia, has been a truly wonderful and nurturing environment for my two children, who have been attending since they were just three months old and are now 3 and 4 years old. Lilia has shown nothing but love, patience, and dedication toward their growth and development. She treats every child as if they were her own, ensuring that they feel safe, supported, and cared for every single day. Her attention to detail, from creating fun learning activities to encouraging good manners and kindness, has had such a positive impact on my kids. Lilia consistently goes above and beyond—whether it’s communicating with parents, celebrating milestones, or providing extra care when needed. I’m truly grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and passionate about early childhood education, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to be part of my children’s early years.
Response from the provider:
We are thankful for the opportunity given to our program to help support your family academic journey. We are happy and grateful to have you guys as part of our child care center family. Much love, Ms. Lilia

Words can't express how lucky I am to have found Lilia she’s amazing!She’s made me feel so comfortable leaving my daughter with her since day one.She has provided such a loving and caring environment for my daughter.She keeps me well informed of how she did that day and how she ate and slept.

My son is now 3 years old. I have had him with Lilia since he was 9 months old and I have never regretted my choice of daycare. Lilia has shown so such dedication towards my son and the other kids at Rainbow Family Childcare. My son has learned colors, the alphabet, animal sounds, counting, sharing, and is currently learning how to potty train. Lilia communicates with me very well, giving me daily reports and notifies me of other upcoming dates. She is also very flexible with times and accommodates to me frequently! I'm happy to have her.
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! It has been such a joy watching your son grow and reach new milestones over the years. I’m so glad to hear that you feel supported and confident in the care he receives here at Rainbow Family Childcare. Communication and flexibility are so important to me, and I truly appreciate your trust and partnership. Thank you for being part of our childcare family! 💕 Warmly, Ms. Lillia
