Our infant son has been attending Burke Lake KinderCare for 4 months now and we are really happy…read morewith our experience so far. He never cries when we drop him off or pick him up. His teachers really seem to love and care for him and the other kids in his class. I've witnessed all cleanliness and proper care procedures being followed when I'm there (which is at random times during the day). They are super accommodating and allow us to attend part time, 3 days a week, with reduced tuition. The director Tina is very nice and seems to have the place in good control. I was really against daycares (preferred a nanny) and toured many before settling on this one. We are please with our decision. I decided to leave a review because the one star review about the smell made it look like this was a dumpy school, but I've never smelled that and my son is in the infant room where kids are peeing and pooping in their diapers all day. I know it's helpful to hear another parents experience when deciding on a daycare for your little one so I figured I would share mine.

All the teachers have been great and my daughter loves them, Ms. Tina the director and Ms. Erica the assistant director have always been very helpful answering my MANY questions and fixing any concern I've had. Dropping my daughter off at the beginning was really hard but now she usually runs in excited to play with her friends and she's been learning so much. Receiving live updates/pictures/ videos is also something I love and look forward to. Thank you to the Kindercare team for taking such good care of my baby, making sure she's safe and happy and also for making me feel like a priority as well!

If you are searching for the best opportunity in care for your infant or toddler, I can tell you…read morewith conviction that Ms. Muditha's Stepping Stone Montessori is it. As first-time parents while I worked from home, we were initially considering a nanny share, and I am so glad we found Ms. Muditha instead. Her warmth and professionalism along with her expertise in childhood development and Montessori education will instantly put you at ease. Her influence on your child will be evident as they demonstrate the incredible knowledge and habits they've learned through routine, instructional play, mealtime, potty training, naptime (read: sleep training), and so much more. She takes every opportunity to teach your child. I witnessed my son learn and develop so many practical life skills, motor skills, language, music, yoga, outdoor play, manners and more than you could imagine. At first I was anxious about my infant's safety with toddlers around but quickly understood Stepping Stone had that under control, and it didn't take long to realize my son was learning from the older children's example. Our son loved going to see his friends at Stepping Stone every day - from infancy until Ms. Muditha told us he was ready to move on to preschool. I cherish my time in knowing her, her staff and her family. While my son has been fortunate to have had wonderful caregivers and educators since, some of their names have been forgotten and their influence less noticeably impactful. Our family is eternally grateful and blessed that our son's formative early years were in Ms. Muditha's loving care.

My wife and I spent countless hours searching within a 10 mile radius of Burke for the best daycare. We couldn't find a single place, with availability, that checked all of our boxes until we found Stepping Stone Childcare. When our daughter started she was nine months old and not crawling efficiently (yet). Now Maddie is 14 months and running nonstop! Everyday she comes home with new signs or words and it's fascinating to see her grow; I know this is due to the care she's receiving by Ms. Muditha! Ms. Muditha has turned her entire basement into a baby/toddler paradise with a section for older children in her Montessori program. Now there's also an awesome play area setup outside where kids can enjoy outdoor activities. On top of our list of perks is communication and Ms. Muditha sets the standard for amazing communication; we get daily updates with what Maddie did and photos.

We drop him off with the peace of mind that he is well cared for in a safe and nurturing space. We have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable childcare for their child!

As first-time parents, my husband and I were incredibly nervous to send her at such a young age. Everything about Muna and her loving in-home daycare put us at ease. From the moment we met Muna, it was clear how much she adores the children in her care. She truly treats them as if they were her own. My daughter is now a happy, social toddler who loves to sing, dance, play, and talk, and we credit Muna's for much of that! Because of Muna, my husband and I have never had to worry about our daughter while we are at work. We have always known that she is in trusted hands. We will be forever grateful for the care she has provided for our family and would highly recommend her to any family looking for loving, experienced, and safe childcare.

Overall, Testey is honest, cares about the children in her care, and finds ways to balance fun and learning! Also, her energy levels are amazing which we love since our daughter is a playful and spunky toddler :-) I totally understand that leaving our precious little ones in the care of others is beyond nerve wracking, so I'm grateful this has been a wonderful experience for our family!

Honestly, it's really hard to trust a service like this with your baby, especially in a city away from home. I had a few things in place so I could keep an eye on my daughter throughout the day, and because of that, I know she was genuinely well cared for. Alison from The Educated Babysitter was great. She arrived on time, took my daughter on walks outside, changed diapers, and kept her happy and comfortable throughout the day. By the second day, even the hotel staff knew my baby and would stop to say hi. The only reason I'm taking the time to write this review is because I know there are other moms in similar situations trying to balance work travel and motherhood, and trusted childcare like this can make all the difference.

When my…read morematernity leave ended and it was time to return to work, I was overwhelmed with the idea of leaving my daughter in someone else's hands. My daughter has been going to Shazia's daycare since she was just 8 months old, and I can say with complete confidence that it was one of the best decisions we've made as a family. From the very first visit, I remember feeling such a sense of calm in her space. The environment was peaceful, organized, and full of warmth. You could immediately tell this was a home filled with love and care. As a first-time mom, I knew I didn't want to send my daughter to a large, chaotic center. I wanted her in a nurturing home setting where she could feel safe and cherished, and that's exactly what Shazia has created. Shazia and her team are incredibly loving and attentive. They treat the children like family and go above and beyond to support each child's growth. She has been there for every single milestone and has played such an important role in my daughter's development. From helping her eat healthy, home-cooked meals to encouraging interactive play through music and dance classes, Shazia has truly helped my daughter thrive. One day I asked my daughter where her nose was and, to my surprise, she pointed right to it. Then she showed me where her eyes, mouth and head were too. I had no idea she even knew those things, but Shazia had been teaching her. It's moments like these that make me realize just how much she's learning and growing every day under Shazia's care. I am endlessly grateful for the love, patience, and attention Shazia has shown our daughter. I wish she could stay with her forever. Any parent would be lucky to have their child in Shazia's daycare. She has become such an important part of our lives and we are so thankful for her.

I remember dropping her off the first day, leaving in tears and receiving a text message shortly thereafter with a picture of my happy baby to reassure me that she was ok. In her 2 1/2 years being cared for by Shazia, she never cried on drop-off but occasionally did during pick-up because she wanted to stay -- this made our hearts happy. We never worried because we knew she was loved and cared for at her second home by her second mommas. We were blessed to find such an amazing place and will be forever grateful for all they taught our little one. Having to leave because kids grow and have to move on brings yet another storm of emotions, but we know our little one is prepared to take on the world's next challenge because of the knowledge, compassion and care provided during her time at Children's Zone. We are immensely grateful to have formed such a great bond with such a great group of people and recommend them to anyone needing a loving and nurturing environment for their babies/toddlers.
