The Staff is amazing... - Ms Stephanie is AMAZING!!! She is so kind and very relatable to kids! One of my son was privilege to be in her class. He was so happy to attend school. She kept the communication open and was very approachable. My other son was in Mrs Adrianna class!! My son had behavior issues in one of the other teachers class but when he was moved to Mrs Adrianna class - he changed! She is seasoned educator and works well with kids! She is a great communicator and is so kind! My son can have melt downs and she was able to calm him and get him back on track... that's what I call a veteran teacher. Someone who can deal with all type of children with patience and show them love in the process! The location can be off-putting for some but inside this Building is a GEM ! They kept the facility clean and everything is self contained. I never worried about my kids health or safety! The play area is huge! The eating area and sleeping quarters are super cute! I'm sad that we had to cut our youngest kids year short (due to COVID19 and my youngest will be going to kindergarten in the fall). I will truly miss this place and the staff!!! Thank you for your support!!!

They are so sweet and give all the kids so much love and attention. This daycare truly feels like a family. We unfortunately have to relocate our daughter to a daycare closer to our home but if we lived in this area, she would definitely stay with Marla until she's ready for school.

We've been with Marla for over two years and we have felt so lucky to find a home- based care that…read morecares so much for children AND is so affordable! Marla is responsive, flexible, and I love the way they support the kids to share and treat each other kindly.

It really feels like a family. Highly recommend.

[Review #248] 2018 Yelp 100 Challenge (11/100)…read more GD&HP did not have any infant openings, so I was referred to Christine de Mel by her colleague, who also happens to be my daughter's former preschool teacher. And because of this connection, I felt I could trust Christine without a "formal" interview. Christine's Infant Care provides an intimate home daycare setting for infants & toddlers. While licensed for more children, Christine, aka Ms. D, chooses to limit 4 children under her care. The interior space is small but neatly organized for feeding, diaper changing, napping, playtime, & learning. The backyard is stocked with scoot cars, a water table, & other outdoor toys that are age-appropriate for your child. Parents are responsible for: diapers; wipes; diaper cream; lip balm; food, snacks, & milk; sunscreen; extra clothes; bibs & burp cloths; & crib sheets. Pros: 1) great hours (7:00 AM-6:00 PM), especially for working parents; 2) clean home/facility; 3) time-off/holidays that coincide with work schedule (New Year's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving (Thursday & Friday), Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve), & there's no charge when Christine is ill or takes a vacation; 4) child may take up to 5 school days/calendar year at half price; 5) competitive tuition & low application fee; 6) low enrollment = more attention to your child; 7) daily log of your child's feeding, diaper changing, & napping schedule (I'm very Type A, so I LOVE this because I can keep tabs on my son's day); 8) on occasion she will text you some pics of their daily activities or special occasion pic (I LOVE our 2017 holiday pic of the kids... SO ADORABLE!); 9) Ms. D will work with you & your baby's needs (e.g. my son had a bad night & woke up early, she fed him earlier to start his nap earlier & he took a longer nap... I knew he did make-up the loss of sleep at naptime because he no longer has dark circles under his eyes; another example, we were transitioning to sippy cups & he didn't finish milk so she suggested to keep his milk in the bottles & practice drinking water in sippy cups or cups... his bottles came back empty); 10) as your child gets closer to preschool, s/he will learn new skills/develop existing ones: how to self-feed; how to play with others & how to share (I found that in a smaller group, it has been easier for my son to "give up" a toy & share than when he's in a larger group); the alphabet & colors, how to count, etc. (I noticed a drastic improvement in my son's vocabulary from our story time discussions & his care at CIC; at 2 years old, my son can string 3-7 word sentences, not always grammatically correct but he is ahead of his neighborhood peers, but he has a lot to say... ;-) hehehe). Cons: 1) you're responsible for your child's snacks & lunch (my daughter's infant daycare had provided her meals & milk for the babies older than 1, & I only provided breastmilk until she weaned herself; that was a MAJOR bonus & timesaver for us); 2) your child may be photographed or video recorded while at the daycare & the images/videos may be uploaded on its website (by your enrollment, you consent to release of all media)... I'm mostly ok by this because her website isn't mainstream but some parents may have an issue so I'm pointing this out in case they didn't read the contract thoroughly. Overall, Christine's Infant Care is 4-1/2 stars; 1/2 star deduction for the snacks & meals, otherwise CIC would be perfect. When we're overwhelmed, we've either forgot our son's lunch or his food altogether :-*( so it would be a major advantage if food is provided. If you're unable to be a stay-at-home parent & need to find a trusted & quality care provider for your child, then look not further than Christine's Infant Care... I highly recommend Ms. D to look after your precious baby.

5 stars is not enough for Lilly's daycare. My son has been going to Lilly's for a few months now…read moreand absolutely loves it. When we drop him off every morning he runs into her place with excitement, and when we return to pick him up he doesn't want to leave. Lilly has been in business for almost 30 years and it shows. Her house is a perfect sanctuary for small children. Plenty of play areas indoor and outdoor. She has a garden with fruits and vegetables that she feeds the kids everyday. She also makes everything from scratch and gets most her groceries from the local farmers market. She goes above and beyond for these kids. She concentrates on educational activities and brain games, doesn't allow screen time, and has them outdoors more than half the day. You won't find another daycare like this anywhere, I can guarantee it. Words cannot describe how fortunate my family is to have found Lilly's daycare.

Being that this would be our little ones first time in a daycare we were very cautious and…read more meticulous about the process. We wanted someone who would care for our son not because it was their job but truly loved doing it! We were over the moon when we found Lilly. She has not only checked all the boxes for what we were looking for in a daycare. She has far exceeded them. We just knew from the moment we met her that she would be a perfect fit to care for our little one. He immediately gravitated towards her which is unusual for him when first meeting a new person. After our tour of the daycare our little one showed his approval by blowing kisses to Lilly as we left. My son is beyond ecstatic every morning once he gets to Lilly's house. All the horror stories that we hear of toddlers crying when you leave them at daycares is yet to happen. My son is filled with joy once he arrives and doesn't even think twice about us leaving him. Her home is set up with endless activities for the kids to do like drawing/coloring, basketball, soccer, slides, too many toys to name, books for fun/learning and my favorite part which is the outdoor space. Most of the time, the kids are outside getting fresh air and being active which I believe is so important for them versus being indoors unless the weather permits it. There are so many things that I could list which makes Lilly's daycare a wonderful second home for our little one. She is nurturing, caring, she makes homemade organic cooked meals which saves us so much time, her home is always clean/hygienic, hands on learning/Montessori inspired, pretend play (e.g building forts) and no screen time is allowed. Her daycare is a perfect home away from home for my little one. If you're lucky as us to have your little one cared by Lilly you'll know what I mean when I say, "We are so grateful to have found her and feel like we've hit the jackpot!" :)

A True Gem - Daily Love Family Childcare…read more Our daughter Ava started attending Daily Love Family Childcare when she was just 19 months old, and she stayed until just before she turned 5 and graduated on to TK. Looking back, I can say without hesitation that choosing Ms. Tigiye's daycare was one of the best decisions we've ever made for our family. From the very beginning, Ms. Tigiye welcomed Ava with open arms and a heart full of love. Her calm, nurturing presence created a safe and joyful environment where Ava could thrive. Ava often would run into daycare with a huge smile on her face, excited for the day ahead. That kind of enthusiasm speaks volumes about the warmth and care she received daily. One of Ava's favorite parts of her time at Daily Love was the arts and crafts projects they did nearly every day. She would come home proudly showing off her creations--paintings, collages, seasonal crafts--and we could see how much thought and creativity went into each activity. These projects weren't just fun; they helped her develop fine motor skills, express herself, and build confidence. Ms. Tigiye and her team (especially Miss Mati!) are truly exceptional. They foster a curriculum that balances learning, creativity, and emotional development. Ava learned her ABCs, numbers, colors, and songs, but more importantly, she learned kindness, patience, and respect. The values instilled in her during those formative years have stayed with her, and we credit much of her social and emotional growth to the loving guidance she received at Daily Love. The daycare itself is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Their little grass yard is perfect for outdoor play on sunny days, and the indoor space is filled with engaging toys and learning materials. Ms. Tigiye also provides meals and snacks, which was a huge plus for us as busy parents. What truly sets Daily Love apart is the sense of community Ms. Tigiye creates. She celebrates every milestone, holiday, and birthday with genuine joy and care. She communicates frequently with parents, sending updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. Seeing Ava's smiling face in those updates gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected even while at work. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Daily Love Family Childcare. It truly became a second home for Ava, and we will always be grateful for the love, care, and foundation Ms. Tigiye provided. If you're looking for a daycare that feels like family, nurtures your child's growth, and fills their days with joy and creativity--look no further. Thank you, Ms. Tigiye (and Mati), for everything. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Ms. Tigi's years of experience, her passion for childcare, paired with her knowledge, calm demeanor and love for all the babies and kids that come through her door are few of the many reasons we love to take our daughter here. I know she is in a safe and nurturing place. Everyday, Ms. Tigi & Miss Mati open their arms (and hearts!) with love & positivity to the children. They create a curriculum that fosters learning, creativity, physical and social development. Our daughter, now 16 months loves Ms. Tigi & Miss Mati and is always looking forward to going to "school". It's amazing to see how much she has grown under the guidance of Ms. Tigi. She has played a huge role in our daughter's development including language skills, counting, learning her ABC's, colors, singing & dancing to name a few but most of all instilling the value of good manners & respect. The nutritious lunch and snacks provided everyday is an added plus! Ms. Tigi has COVID-19 protocols in place making sure to keep everyone healthy and safe. Ms. Tigi truly cares about her children and families, she creates a sense of community, attentive to every since child and his/her needs; conscientious of celebrating milestones, birthdays, holidays, and overall very friendly and pleasant. She frequently communicates with the parents throughout the day. We get updates with pictures & videos throughout the day and its really gratifying to see a smiling photo of our daughter knowing she's having a wonderful time. We couldn't be happier with our decision to be part of the Daily Love family. I tell everyone I know about this daycare gem. I feel like I hit the jackpot. Thank you, Ms. Tigi for providing a loving, caring & cultivating environment each and every day!
