Mrs. Sheikh - or ‘Teacher’ as we lovingly call her - provides such a warm, caring, fun, safe, and educational environment and home away from home for our daughter. We are so thankful for the exceptional care. Our daughter loves it so much that she doesn’t want to come home at the end of the day! The growth and learning we’ve seen in our daughter even in a short time is so awesome. Highly recommend and am so thankful for Teacher!

I cannot say enough good things about Uzma Sheikh. She is a miracle worker. When I learned that my family member who previously cared for my son would no longer be able to do so, I knew that nothing less than a home care setting would work. I interviewed countless nannies and home daycare providers feeling like I would never find the right fit, but with Mrs. Sheikh, I instantly felt at ease. Coming from a Montessori background, she encourages the children to be self sufficient and gives them the confidence to explore their surroundings in a safe way. She is warm yet firm, and knows exactly how to motivate my son so he is being his best self. I have three children, but my son—the youngest—is definitely the most polite, most-well-mannered, and most confident of the three. Bonus: at barely three years old, he can write his name, write the alphabet, count and write up to 20!
