That person seems to give only diatribe reviews which is unfortunate. We are SO happy to have Under the Mighty Oak daycare in our neighborhood! They offer some of the most affordable rates and flexible hours (start early and work late) I have ever seen in a daycare. Our son loves going! Kay and Minnie are so great with the kids and follow all of our dietary instructions we give. UTMO was recommended by close friends, and now we see why it is such a great daycare! We are very thankful to UTMO!

I'm So grateful our daughter was able to get in after a few months on the waitlist. I would keep her here till Kindergarten if I could but we had to move for work. They are so loving and caring full of years of experience. Almost everyday she would come home with an art project and had so much room to run around and play. Sheryl made healthy meals everyday for the girls, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, pancakes, you name it. My daughter made best friends there and learned all about the farm animals Sheryl has goats, chickens, horses and even a pony! It was a magical place for her to grow and learn. Thank you so much Serenity Creek.

The very first time I dropped my daughter off for childcare was at Serenity Creek. And it was by…read morefar the best decision I have ever made! My daughter is smarter, more independent, and more loving for having spent the last 1.5 years with Sherryl on her gorgeous farm. The only reason why my daughter is leaving Serenity Creek is because we are moving out of state - otherwise, I would have kept here there for as long as possible!! She wakes up every morning and talks non-stop about how excited she is to go to 'school' and runs to the door when we get there. I have to chase her down to say goodbye to me. I can't say enough about what a warm and nurturing environment Serenity Creek is! If I could pack Sherryl and take her with me, I would!!

I tried out 2 other home daycares before I chose Mountain Monsters. The first thing that struck me…read morewas that it was really clean. You would think all daycares that are legit and have children running around would be, but not the case. Sonya's home and yard is immaculate. There are endless toys and play structures which is great because my son is a super climber. Sonya has one of those natural connections with children which again is not the case with a lot of daycares. How do they get their licenses??? That's another topic. My son is crazy about her. I was really worried when the first 2 days he cried a little when I left him, but now when I pick him up, the first thing he says is "Awwww, I don't want to go."

We love Sonya and consider her a friend and extended member of our family. My son, who is now…read morethree and a half, has been going to her since he was seventeen months old and we now also have our fourteen month-old daughter there as well. I always know that they are safe, well-cared for, and have a range of activity options throughout the day. The small, in-home setting works very well for us and eases the burden of having to leave them during the day. Drop-off is easy because they are so happy to be going there, but pick-up can be a bit more challenging because they are not always ready to leave. =) Sonya's own two children and her husband are also very loving and engaged with the kids and it feels like an extension of our own home. In addition, Sonya has been very flexible in attending to our needs as a vegetarian, cloth-diaper-using family, which was not the case with all of the childcare options that we explored. I highly recommend Mountain Monsters Daycare and am so happy that we found it for ourselves.

Don't hesitate, join the ositos family now Whoever gave ositos a 1 star is an idiot and obviously hasn't sent their kids here for 5 years like I have.

As a new mother, deciding on a child care provider for my daughter when it was time to go back to work was one of the most difficult decisions. I could not be happier with our choice of Highland's Park Community Bridges. She receives the highest quality of care and they provide a very nurturing environment filled with unique and age-appropriate educational experiences that I could not provide at home. Most importantly, she is so happy to be there! All of the staff are friendly and professional and I am grateful for all of the support and communication they provide to us as parents. The Site Supervisor, Roxy is so compassionate, professional, and understanding. She really listens to families and children equally well. She is always thinking of new ways to engage the children and help them to thrive. I feel like we are part of a community, and I look forward to watching her grow and develop at this center for years to come, while our family is building connections with other children and local families.

Tahira and the staff are caring, patient, and attentive to each child's needs. We've noticed tremendous growth in learning and communication, especially in recognizing new alphabets, numbers, songs, and simple words. We truly appreciate the love, attention, and dedication the staff shows every single day.

Our daughter started at Sunny Daycare at 10 months old, and as first-time parents, we were…read morenaturally nervous about her adjusting. However, talking with Tahira immediately put our minds at ease. Her love and care for children are palpable, and she took the time to truly understand what would be helpful for our daughter and her needs. Tahira and her helpers consistently went above and beyond. They were instrumental in helping our daughter with her naps, which initially took a lot of time and effort. We also greatly appreciated the regular photos and updates that kept us informed of her progress, and their flexibility in incorporating our suggestions was incredibly reassuring. Now, after 10 months, our daughter is always excited to go to daycare! She's very fond of her teachers, Tahira, Veer, and Liz, and loves playing with all the other children. The kids usually go outside to play at least once a day, and Sunny Daycare provides nutricious snacks and lunch. They keep the children engaged with a variety of fun activities such as coloring, bubble time, singing rhymes, and dancing. It's delightful how our daughter comes home with a new nursery rhyme nearly every day! We're grateful for the loving and supportive environment Sunny Daycare provides.

My daughter attended Ally's daycare from 18 months to 3 years old, and we feel so lucky to have…read morefound this place. If it weren't for the need to move her on to preschool, we would happily let her stay here forever! This may not be the newest or fanciest daycare in the neighborhood, but it is always very clean, organized, and well run. The sick policy is also more flexible compared to chain daycares, where even minor symptoms can mean at least 24 hours at home. Surprisingly, during these two years my daughter has been sick fewer than five times. Both teachers, Nicole and Sandy, are absolutely fantastic. Sandy is incredibly caring and patient--she comforts the little ones by holding them, feeding them when needed, and soothing them to sleep during naps. Thanks to her, my daughter only cried for about 10 minutes on her very first morning, and after that she was happy to come every single day. Nicole is a wonderful educator--always energetic and engaging. My daughter has learned so much here, from Chinese and English colors, shapes, animals, and numbers, to singing many songs in both languages. When we went on preschool tours, one admissions officer even joked that she already knows enough to start kindergarten! Ally also goes above and beyond with communication. Each Sunday we receive the weekly lunch menu, and every day we get photos of meals and many snapshots of daily activities. Breakfast and dinner are also available if needed. At pickup time, parents receive a detailed daily report on paper, which we really appreciate. Overall, we couldn't recommend Ally's daycare more highly. It truly is a hidden gem in the area, and we feel so grateful for the care, love, and learning our daughter has experienced here.

Belen and her family are incredibly warm, loving, and attentive. They took wonderful care of our son--especially with his food allergies--and we always felt he was safe and in caring hands. Communication was excellent: they checked in each morning and shared thoughtful updates throughout the day. As a bonus, he even picked up some Spanish! The space is consistently clean and welcoming, with a lovely backyard playground. The homemade meals are fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully adapted when needed--honestly, he often ate better there than at home. They also celebrate birthdays and special moments, making every child feel seen and loved. It truly feels like an extended family. We're so grateful for the care and love our son received here and highly recommend Belen's Childcare.

It's…read moremore like a second home, where Belen, Ellie, Abuela, Angelina, Cathy and Anna have built a caring, loving and nurturing environment for kids to thrive in and grow. My wife and I would heartily recommend this place! Belen's is tight-knit and really well run. The student teacher ratio is well-maintained and each kid gets personalized attention. They have ample outdoor space for kids to play, and kids do really creative, artsy and well thought-out projects/activities each day. They provide nourishing home-made meals for breakfast, lunch and snacks of really high quality, taking into account restrictions for each kid individually. Pickups and dropoffs have clear communication, such that it feels like they're working together as a team - they always ask how our daughter slept, whether she had breakfast, etc. on pickup and on dropoff, tell whether there were any issues they had to work through. Even when I say all the above, I don't think I am capturing well enough how far and beyond Belen has gone consistently to give an exceptional experience to our daughter (and other kids). Belen helped our daughter settle in properly to naptimes, and since she wasn't sleep trained, took additional steps to get her comfortable. We noticed how far our daughter progressed over two years with their play-based learning and lastly, our daughter's birthday party celebration and farewell will be memorable experiences we will forever cherish. Our daughter attended Belen's from 14mo to 3yr. She developed an affectionate bond with Belen and her family, and every single day, looked forward to going to Belen's and catching up with her friends there - in short, she was happy. Ultimately, that told us everything about how great a place this is.
