Sushila, Taniya and Somya have been such a blessing to our family! We enrolled our older daughter 2yrs ago and she's grown so much in her speech, her manners, her eating habits, and she is now practicing writing letters, numbers and her name. She is going to be more than ready for kindergarten! In January, we also enrolled our younger daughter and she is thriving! She runs in the door every morning and is full of smiles when I pick her up in the afternoon. On top of our daughters' happiness, Iris Child Care demonstrates exceptional communication throughout the day, sending us pics and videos of our daughters having a blast. Their home is clean and welcoming, they have great educational and engaging toys and activities, tons of books, and super fun backyard. Iris Child Care has for sure become both of their favorite place to be. We honestly couldn't recommend them more! read more

My daughter's first home is IRIS Childcare and 2nd home is her parents home! I know it sounds funny but seriously my 1.5 year daughter loves going to IRIS and we have to drag her in the evening to take back home. This is a huge positive sign and makes us happy that our daughter is safe and love where she spent all her day! I enrolled my daughter when she was 6 months old and we are very happy and made a best decision to enroll our daughter with IRIS.

We always gets so many pictures of our daughter throughout the day which makes our day amazing! About the cleaning of place, it is super clean, organized and all toys are washed and sanitized everyday at the end of day! Sushila always follow all state and city rules about the safety and cleaning of the childcare. Sushila and Tanya always correct their behavior without yelling and teach them the correct manner.

Iris Child Care Home is my son's home away from home. Sushila cares for my Oliver like family. I can see all of the love and kindness she shares, as my son will ask to go to school when he's home and even asks if he can sleepover sometimes! He is happy and excited at drop off and has even requested I pick him up later than earlier. Sushila prepares healthy meals and snacks. She will sometimes make Indian food too. I have stopped by during lunch and have had the opportunity to try some of her delicious homemade food. Since my son has been coming here, roti and dahl have become a staple in our home! Sushila keeps the kids busy throughout the day with reading, arts, crafts, free play, and outdoor play. She also sends photos throughout the day, which always brightens my day while I'm at work. My son has severe eczema and Sushila is attentive, patient, and very helpful in helping us control flare ups. Oliver has been attending Iris Child Care Home for over a year now and I wholeheartedly trust dropping him off here with the confidence that he will be happy and cared for.

Wish I could give 10 stars. My daughter Amyra loves going to school here. She aways have a big smile when she is greeted by Sushila or Tanya when we drop her off. We enrolled Amyra when she was 10 months old and ever since it has become her second home. Throughout the day we receive pictures of our daughter having fun which gives us peace of mind. Sushila and Tanya are very kind, patient, and loving and care all the kids as if they are their own. Ms. Sushil makes healthy meals and offers variety of fruits to the kids. Amyra just turned 18 months but she already speaks a lot of words and loves reading books. We are very happy about her progress. My husband and I could not be more grateful to have found this place. I highly recommend this daycare if you are looking for a second home for your child. read more

When looking for a daycare, every parent is always a little apprehensive and a little nervous. Especially if you're first time parents and a TIIIIIIINY bit over-protective Thousands of questions go through your head but the most important one to us was "Will our LO be safe and well taken care of?". Not only has iris childcare met our expectations, they've EXCEEDED it. They are SO attentive to the LOs and caring. Ms. Sheel treats all the littles like her own grandchildren and really cares about their needs. Ms. Tanya is very hands on with the teaching of the kiddos and has so much patience's! They have really become like trusted family members and I could not be more grateful to have found them. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby. We will forever be indebted to you both read more

I'm so happy and grateful to have found iris child care home when we moved to Elk Grove. Ms. Sushila is the best, she's very patient, kind and loving to our son. she serves nutritious food, read them books, and they also play in the backyard. She also updates me with pictures which I really appreciate. I feel very comfortable when I drop him off to her, Alonso is very happy after I pick him up. He has improved a lot in his speech, and my son is also potty trained at 2 years old. Thanks to sushila. I highly recommend her daycare. This is Alonso's home away from home. I'm very thankful to Sushila and to her family for taking good care of my son. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Sushila and Iris Child Care. My son began going to Iris Child Care when he was 3 months old, as soon as I went back to work. He is now 2 and loves it so much, it's really like a 2nd home to him. Sushila and her two daughters, Taniya and Sumia are wonderful caregivers and treat each child as if they were their own. Sushila is kind and loving but also manages to keep order in the room and correct behavior without yelling. The play room ranges from high energy with lots of laughter, to quiet and peaceful with all of the kids huddled around her to read a story. The class size is small, so each kid receives a lot of personal attention. My son has learned so much! He learned basic sign language as an infant, things like 'milk', 'more', 'please', 'thank you', and 'sorry'. He also learned the alphabet by 18 months, how to count to 10 and the names of most animals and the sounds they make. She serves healthy homemade meals that are filled with variety and lots of fruit and vegetables. Things my son wouldn't eat at home he would eat there and eventually learned to love them. The thing I love the most is that my son truly loves going there, and has thrived in his development. We have had to move out of the area, and the hardest part about moving was losing this wonderful daycare. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your child's care and development is in good hands is priceless. read more

So much more than daycare Fantastic. Our son loves going to school here and we're confident he is in loving experienced hands. Everything Iris daycare does for their little charges is done with the care as if it were their own children. I have no concern about any facet of his time spent here and am in fact impressed with his mental and physical progress made regularly. They have made us better parents. We're new parents and our son started at 3months so I do not have another daycare to compare Iris daycare to, but as written above we love this place. Let me start at the beginning. We looked at a half dozen in home daycares and this one stood out but I didn't know why. I didn't know they cook hot fresh meals (mostly vegetarian which we are not but I happily encourage) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I didn't know she would spend so much time on teaching our son his number, letters, object names, that he would come home before 18months and count raisins on his tray past 10. I didn't know she would correct his poor napping habits, or his short period of biting, or any number of other hurdles. I didn't know she would help coach us as new parents with potty training or dressing himself or any number of at home milestones. I especially didn't know we would miss her so much when I had to take a new job in another city. Now that we've moved and have had to find a replacement I know that daycares like Iris Daycare are rare and if you find one you're extremely lucky. Many of our friends have children of similar age but none of their daycare experiences hold a candle to what attention and love our son got here. Sushila and her family are fantastic and I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Sushila is the absolute best! My son had never been in a daycare before and would never go to anyone except family but within a week of going here, he walks up to the door with a smile knowing he is going to have a great day! He goes to Sushila immediately when he sees her! I love that she sends pictures of what he is doing through out the day and he comes home with the cutest crafts and creations often. She has a great set-up for play, inside and outside. She has done amazing with my son and I'm so happy. I have always been a bit wary of home daycares but I trust Sushila completely and I know I made the right choice! read more

My son (2 yrs old) has been under the care of Ms. Singh now for 3 months and I could not be any happier. Prior to placing him in daycare he was always cared for by family and naturally I was very anxious about the idea of daycare. However when I initially met with Ms. Singh and her daughter Tanya I instantly felt a sense of comfort and relief that everything would be ok and that my son was going to be in great hands. The environment is very clean. The daily schedule is filled with learning and fun. I get pictures everyday of what he is up to which is much appreciated. Thank you Iris Child Care Home! read more

My husband and I are so happy we found Iris Child Care Home! After moving to Elk Grove, we sought out to look for a quality child care provider for our 1 year old daughter. Within the first couple of minutes meeting Sushila, I was sold. She had a baby boy with her and what I was so impressed by was with how much she loved him as if he were her own. The feeling was mutual because when his father arrived to pick him up, he didn't want to leave! Sushila and her wonderful family have been caring for our daughter for several months now and we couldn't be happier. Sushila serves the children nutritious meals (and plays classical music during meal time!), takes them outdoors for fun play and comes up with creative and educational art projects. Our daughter is so happy and is learning so much because of Sushila. We HIGHLY recommend Iris Child Care Home!! read more

After interviewing 10 childcare facilities in the Elk Grove area, my daughter started at Iris Child Care Home at 8 months and is almost 2 now. I love this in -home daycare. Sushila and her family take such great care of my child along with the other kids- I always feel like my daughter is loved, cared for and safe. Sushila prepares fresh, healthy snacks and meals everyday and encourages the children to try new foods. Her house (inside and out) is always kept clean and sanitary. She has a plethora of toys for infants to grade school, and encourages physical activity both indoor and out. From reading and singing to counting, she is a great educator, and the artwork that the children do is phenomenal!! I would highly recommend Iris Child Care Home to anyone looking for daycare. My husband and I are so glad we found this daycare. read more

We could not be happier with Sushila. My daughter has been going to Sushila for four months and she is all smiles during drop offs and pickups. Sushila is very nurturing and the daycare area is very clean. The kids do crafts and play inside and outside during the day. So happy to have found Iris Child Care Home! read more

Sushila Singh was our nanny for my then 1 year old daughter, and I can't tell you how wonderful a care taker she was to our child. She maintained a tremendous balance between engaging my daughter with activities and songs, reading stories, keeping the environment clean and safe, cooking for us (so efficiently!), and along side all this, disciplining my daughter in a soft kind way, that created lasting lessons. My daughter still coughs and sneezes in her elbow because Mrs. Singh taught her that- at the age of 1! As first time parents, we never knew whether it was too early to teach a child certain things. But Mrs. Singh taught us that with love, consistency, and the right approach for each child, it's never too early to help a child bring out their potential. My daughter is now 3.5 years old and still thinks of her, misses her, and I know cares for her. I would without hesitation, recommend her for child care. read more

My child has been going here for a few months now and I am very pleased. He's always happy to be dropped off and leaves with a smile on his face. Ms. Shushila is so kind to him and treats him well I feel safe leaving him here. He has different activities everyday such as painting, writing, exercising and so on. He is only 16 month old, but he can tell different sound of animals. read more
