My two sons have been attending Ashton Daycare and Learning Center for almost a year. One of my children had a speech delay, but after joining the daycare, he has shown great progress. The daycare staff are responsible and caring, and they provide excellent attention to the children. Additionally, the daycare is a safe and clean environment. I highly recommend this daycare for all children.

The care provided at Saeeda’s childcare is exceptional! My son has excelled under her care. I believe this is attributable to not only her high quality curriculum and expansive experience; but also, her evident love for my son (and he for her!). She is consistently attentive to his special needs, receptive to collaborate with his other care providers, and keeps me updated on his progress. I love the daily pictures/videos! I’m very thankful for her and her team.

My son has been going here for a few months now and enjoys spending time with the other children. He has learned a lot of skills in his time here. Saeeda has many certifications, so I trust that my child is in safe hands. It’s in a great location, which makes it convenient since i am closeby, and I love getting pictures and updates theought the day. I feel confident that my child is well taken care of and safe here, which is the most important thing.

We had both of our girls at this daycare from 4 months old. There’s truly nothing but positive things to say about it. From the caring care, to safety, to variety of play areas/activities, etc. Our girls loved going, they thrived, and it was so beneficial for them to be around older kids. A mixed age group is truly the best-shows the older children responsibility, and helps the younger ones excel quicker. We’d highly recommend Saeeda and her staff, they are like family.

Saeeda educated both of my children for more than 2 years each. Both my kids loved going there and it was clear that they were learning material above their age level, which was awesome. My kids learned to play cooperatively as well as independently, all while being kind to their classmates. Saeeda is communicative of both positive updates as well as with behavioral concerns. If we hadn’t moved out of state, my youngest would still be there.
Response from the provider:
Thank You, Dan. I appreciate your comments.

Saeeda has cared for both of our children and has been a loving addition to our family. Oldest knew her letters and numbers and name recognition by three years old. I highly recommend Saeeda!

I have loved my experience here. My child has learned so much and benefits greatly from being around a mixed-aged group. I know that Saeeda cares about my child, and it’s great knowing I’m sending my child to their “second home”.

Our daughter has been attending here since she has been 6 months old. Going back to work was hard but the provider made me feel very comfortable. She sends me pictures throughout the day and always provides a full report about how the day went. The daycare area is very clean and organized, lots of toys and activities for all age kids, and she does tons of activities to promote learning. She also has a great shaded outside space for the kids to play as well. You can also tell how much she cares for the children. Our daughter gives her a big hug every morning and often does not want to leave. We could not be happier and so glad we found a daycare provider that not only makes sure she is safe, but truly cares for our daughter.
Response from the provider:
Thank you Jen for your kind word and feedback

The daycare provider offers a safe and loving place for our daughter to learn and grow while we are at work. Our daughter is always smiling when we drop her off and pick her up! The owner was very patient with us our first few weeks. As first time parents, we were nervous and called many times throughout the day. She was kind and reassuring every time we called. She has been very flexible with our early morning schedule. Our daughter will be attending this daycare until she goes to school full time!

This is a wonderful facility for my daughter. She loves Ms. S and comes home every day having learned new words, phrases and songs! It is not just a daycare, but a learning center with a curriculum. I have full trust in this facility and would highly recommend the daycare to others. They also have very flexible hours and part time care. You can tell that Ms. S truly loves the children and cares about their health and well being.

My daughter had been coming here since she was 9 months old and she is now 2.5. We are very happy with the owner and her team. They make the transition each morning easy and melt down free. My daughter is excited to go to "school" each day. When you walk in you can see what they will be working on each day. It is located in a safe neighborhood. We have no complaints.
Response from the provider:
We are so glad to see our satisfied parents. Love you and your big girl !

I've had two children at this daycare over the past 3 1/2 years. My younger child is currently attending. The teachers have always treated my children as family. The curriculum is age appropriate. My children have thrived and always enjoy their day at daycare. The facility is large, clean and welcoming. This is definitely one of the best home daycares I have come across over the years. I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a caring and nuturing environment for their child.
Response from the provider:
Thank you Diana for the compliments. Love the two sweeties in our care.
