My anxiety was at an all time high sending my 2 year old son somewhere new where I didn’t know any of the people who would be caring for him…. But this place is AMAZING🥹 ALL of the staff (but particularly Mrs.Sania) has exceeded my expectations the past 3 weeks he has attended. She ensures a smooth transition, always provides updates as needed throughout the day/week, and my son absolutely loves going there every single day. They have weekly learning prompts that she teaches individually with each child depending on their level of education/readiness. I couldn’t have picked a better daycare!!! highly recommend

As a first time mom, I was extremely anxious about leaving my child behind. The search for the right daycare felt overwhelming—after visiting so many home daycares and daycare centers, nothing quite felt like the right fit. That changed the moment I found Daycare on the Farm. From the very first visit, I felt an immediate sense of warmth and care from the staff. It wasn’t just about finding a place that was safe—it was about finding a place where my child would be loved, and that’s exactly what I found here. The caretakers were incredibly patient, not just with my child, but with me as well. They understood my concerns and reassured me every step of the way. The transition was smoother than I ever imagined, thanks to their kindness, experience, and genuine love for the little ones in their care. Seeing my child go from hesitant to excited about daycare has been such a relief. One of the most special things about Daycare on the Farm is the animals—some outside, some inside. They have added a whole new level of joy to my child’s days. I never expected my little one to look forward to daycare at such a young age, but now, every morning is filled with excitement, knowing they get to see their furry and feathered friends. I can confidently say that choosing Daycare on the Farm was one of the best decisions I’ve made. My child is not only safe but thriving—learning, laughing, and forming bonds with both caretakers and animals. If you’re a parent searching for a place that truly feels like home, I can’t recommend this daycare enough.

Cannot recommend Daycare on the Farm enough! This mother-daughter duo has created the most warm, loving, and enriching environment for the little ones. From the moment we arrived, we felt the genuine care and kindness they bring to their work every day. Their experience shines through in everything they do, from the thoughtful activities to the way they nurture each child individually. My daughter absolutely loves spending her days here—whether she’s exploring the farm, learning about animals, or engaging in creative play. She comes home happy, excited, and full of stories about her adventures. It’s rare to find a daycare that feels like a second home, but Daycare on the Farm truly is. If you're looking for a place where your child will be safe, loved, and encouraged to grow, this is it!
