The owner and her helper have been so wonderful with caring for our baby. It was very hard to return to work and trust someone with him when he was only 3 months old, but I knew he was in the best care. Now, he is so excited when she opens the door to greet him in the morning. We couldn’t have found a better daycare for our son. We are so grateful for her and her team!

She is the best! I don’t even know how much I can emphasize it. My son was 2 years old when he started and I was quite nervous because I am new to daycare and we tried a daycare before her for 3 weeks and it was horrible. She assured me by taking pics of and videos at least twice daily. My son has speech delay, and now he says more words than he started. She also worked with me to help my son out of diapers. I 100% recommend her

The care, concern and kindness that has been shown to my daughter is more than I could ask for. Our daughter was taken in at 6 months up until 2 years and has always been treated as her own. Our daughter has blossomed and learned under her care. We hope to find like her as we relocate.

We are very happy to have found this daycare, As a first time mom and leaving your child for the first time with a stranger can be difficult, but the owner made the transition really easy for my toddler, and less than a week my little one was giving her hugs and a smiles, and that gives me peace of mind.

We absolutely love this daycare. The provider is so warm and caring and I see our little one thriving under her care. His verbal skills have increased dramatically since starting there and he is thrilled to get there and sad when it’s time to leave. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Our son has been with this provider since November 2020 and we have been so happy to have him in her care. Due to the pandemic, he had been home with us for the first year of his life. When we enrolled him, we saw a huge shift in his developmental growth! He has truly blossomed there. He lights up when he sees the providers and we feel the same way!

My daughter has been attending this daycare since about 4 months old and she is now 3 years old. this is definitely a family atmosphere. She gets a warm meal for lunch, I’m sure she probably raids them kitchen for snacks and fruit as well. when I pick her up she’s always eating a banana or oranges. I’m thankful she is able to be on a space that treats her well and loves her. At age 2, my daughter knew her ABCs, her colors, shapes and how to... more

We have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the daycare. You often read reviews and wonder is it real, are the people as wonderful as they say. I have found that they are. My son goes into daycare with a smile on his face every day. we get daily reports of how much milk he has been given that day and what time so we can coordinate his nightly feeding. They are really great at communication. And most importantly they are very loving and... more

From the moment I pull into the driveway my son is excited to get out of the car and go inside to get his day started. I have sent several of my children to full time daycare, this by far, has been my absolute favorite and easiest transition "home away from home". There is so much love and nurturing your child will always feel comfortable and happy. You will be at ease leaving your child here knowing compassion, safety and learning are their top... more

My 3- year old twin sons have been attending since they were 18 months. We couldn’t be happier as they care for each individual child as their own! Very nice and welcoming homey atmosphere. Fresh food made daily. Love the place and definitely recommend it!

Very happy that we found this provider. Our daughter comes home happy and healthy each day. We have no worries when she is in her care and we are first time parents! She is very warm and welcoming each morning and afternoon. Taking care of babies and toddlers all day seems to come so natural for her. Nice neighborhood!

It is extremely hard to find a daycare that you can trust. I am so thankful and lucky to have found this daycare. The provider is wonderful and is so loving with the children. My daughter absolutely adores her and her staff. She is always smiling and laughing when I pick her up and what mother wouldn't want to see that? When I started looking, I wanted to find someone that was a mother and could relate and would know first hand what... more

We started our daughter here when she was 4 months old. This daycare makes you feel like family. Our daughter loves them and we truly feel like they love her. They check in with us when she stays home sick to see how she's doing; they're a great resources for us as first time parents who don't know much about introducing food, dealing with diaper rash, figuring out a nap schedule, etc.; they tell us about our daughter's day when we pick her... more

I feel very lucky to have found this daycare for my daughter. The provider facilitates play and activities, creative play, arts and exploration. She is very hands-on and really gets into the world of the child. I don’t have to worry about the meals as well as it is provided at the daycare. Above all she is very flexible and provide my daughter love and care which is most important for my child when she is away from me.
