Time for an update! My second son has been attending Miles of Smiles since he was just 4 months…read moreold, and over a year later, the transition from infancy to toddlerhood under Biana's watchful eye has been nothing short of seamless. It is rare to find a childcare provider that feels like a true extension of your own family, but after years of being part of the Miles of Smiles community, I can say with absolute certainty that Biana and her team are in a league of their own. My younger son is thriving just as much as his older brother did. The team treats him with such genuine love and affection that any "drop-off guilt" I would have had is replaced by complete peace of mind. Environment: The facility remains meticulously clean. Despite the daily whirlwind of activities, the toys are sanitized, the floors are spotless, and the "daycare smell" simply doesn't exist here. Safety & Communication: Biana remains incredibly proactive. Whether it's an update on a minor "ouchie" or a clear plan for air quality and safety, her communication is thorough and immediate. Nutrition/Development: We continue to be amazed by the meal program. Just like his brother, my 18-month-old eats nutritious, homemade meals at Miles of Smiles that he would likely turn his nose up at at home. We are also impressed that he constantly demonstrates the fine motor skills and vocabulary Biana works so hard to cultivate. If you are a parent who is hesitant about daycare or worried about finding a place that meets your "particular" needs, Biana will put you at ease. Having sent two children here through different stages of their early development, I can testify that the level of care, hygiene, and genuine love at Miles of Smiles is unmatched. They aren't just childcare providers, they're our partners in raising happy, healthy, and confident children :)

We've had the best experience with Biana and Miles of Smiles Daycare & Preschool. Our twin boys…read morestarted at 1.5 years old (will be 4 this June), and from day one we've trusted her and her team completely. They truly have become like family to us. It gives us a peace of mind knowing our boys are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every single day. We've watched our boys grow into independent, loving, and smart kids, and we credit so much of that to the play-based learning and daily care they receive. The curriculum is thoughtfully adjusted by age, which we really appreciate, and the small child to teacher ratio makes such a difference. Plus, the kids eat so well! Everything is included and made fresh daily, which is a huge win and time saver for parents. Biana goes above and beyond in the best way. The daily projects (especially the holiday ones!) are adorable. She also puts on the cutest summer and winter concerts for all the kids and families, where the kids get to sing and perform. They're such a highlight and honestly just so fun to watch. The staff truly cares about the kids and it shows. They're loving, attentive, and so invested in each child. We also love the weekly music and gymnastic classes, and Biana always captures the best photos around the holidays and birthdays. She is always available if you have a question or need to communicate schedules. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Miles of Smiles and couldn't recommend it more!!

Our son has attended Little Genius Academy for over a year and will be graduating to TK this fall…read more Before we leave, I wanted to take a moment to leave a glowing review for this incredible daycare. We are so grateful to the teachers and staff, who are genuinely dedicated and truly care about the children. From the very beginning, we felt that our son was in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. Some of the things we especially appreciated were the convenient hours (7:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m.), three meals provided each day, washing of sleeping bags and water bottles, and the wonderful variety of daily activities, including sports and music. We were especially fortunate to have Ms. Celi as our son's teacher. She updated the parent app every day with incredible detail about the children's activities, curriculum, and plenty of photos. It gave us so much peace of mind to know what he was learning and experiencing each day. Communication with both the teachers and staff was always easy, and responses were consistently prompt and helpful. We'd also like to recognize Ms. Delen, our son's fellow dinosaur-loving teacher, who made learning so much fun, and Ms. Tina, who greeted us every morning with a warm smile that always brightened our day. Finally, we want to give a heartfelt thank you to the entire staff who showed our family so much understanding, compassion, and grace during a very difficult season in our lives. Your kindness and support meant more than you know, and we truly couldn't have made it through without you. We are incredibly thankful to have been part of the Little Genius Academy family. Thank you for loving and investing in our son. We will always look back on our time here with gratitude.

My son is at LGA for over a year now and I love this school. I love the app updates showing his…read morepotty times, nap times, meals and school activities. To our surprise, many schools do not use an app. The extracurricular activities are so engaging - I like that they bring an outside coach to engage the kids in sports, Mr. George for music, and Ms Brittany for reading. The meals are also great. My son is open to eating a variety of food as a result of the meals serve at the school. In terms of academics, my almost 4 year old can count to 40, knows the ABCs and write his name. All in all, LGA makes life easy for parents, especially working parents. Even the morning drop off procedures are so quick and seamless. Between my older daughter and son, we've been at multiple schools in the area and I can say that LGA is our favorite.

I'm honestly saddened to write this review because it means we've officially moved on from Mayrik…read moreChildcare. When we moved to the area about a year ago, finding the right daycare for our daughter was incredibly important to us. We wanted somewhere close to home that had a true family feel, was educational, instilled strong values, and most importantly, was a place where she could feel safe, loved, and truly thrive. From the very first day I met Teacher Anna, I had a feeling we had found exactly that. She immediately made us feel comfortable, and over the past year, we've been so impressed by everything our daughter has learned and experienced there. She would come home telling us about the things she learned, singing songs she picked up at school, and even surprising us with little bits of Russian along the way! What meant the most to us was knowing that she wasn't just being cared for -- she was being nurtured, encouraged, taught, and loved. Mayrik Childcare became such a special part of her early development, and we will forever be grateful for the impact it has had on the little girl she is becoming. We will forever miss Myrik Childcare and Teacher Anna, but we are even more grateful that we found them when we did. Thank you for giving our daughter such a wonderful place to learn, grow, and feel at home.

We've had the absolute pleasure of having our son cared for at Anna's daycare for the past year and…read morea half, and we couldn't be more grateful to her and her team. He started when he was just one year old, and now at 2.5, we're amazed at how much he's grown and learned during his time there. Anna and her team have been incredibly kind, supportive, understanding, and genuinely caring. From day one, it was clear how much they truly love the children in their care. Our son has thrived thanks to the wonderful programming they offer--arts and crafts, music, behavioral support, and so much more. They've helped him develop all the foundational skills he'll need as he continues to grow, and we've watched his confidence blossom under their care. While our son is transitioning to a new location due to our family's circumstances, we will deeply miss Anna and her team in our everyday life. They've been more than caregivers--they've been like family to us. Any parent would be incredibly fortunate to have their child in such loving and capable hands. Thank you, Anna, for everything you've done for our son and our family!

We could not be more happy with our little one growing up at Tara's daycare since she was 5 months…read moreold. Finding Pure & Simple was a Godsend. From day one, Tara worked closely with us in developing our daughter's physical, emotional and communicative skillsets. We were often amazed at new skills our little girl would exhibit, without us having taught her. You can tell Tara really loves and cares about each of her kiddos. We felt so safe with her at Tara's home, with plenty of of indoor/outdoor space for a little one to explore and feel comfortable in. Her homecare is so much better than a corporate daycare- same primary caregiver (vs shifts) and small teacher to student ratio (vs many to one). I also believe it was better than us getting a nanny. It gave ourselves space while we knew she was safe, sound and growing happily at Tara's. She also worked tirelessly with us when our baby was going through eczema and allergy issues. Our daughter often times says Ms Tara when we put her in the stroller (that is how we walk her to daycare). Tara has helped us raise her to be a polite, sweet little girl- teaching her all the crucial skills needed to lay a strong foundation. Because of Tara, she was ready for preschool right at 2 years old.

My oldest daughter attended Pure & SIMPLE Child Care for two years (ages 11 months to 3 years) and…read moremy youngest attended for 3 months (4 months to 7 months), before we had to move out of the area for work. We have loved our experience working with Tara to help raise our girls. Tara maintains an organized, well-run daycare that focuses on giving kids plenty of time to play outside while maintaining a predictable flow to the day. She communicates well, and has a solid contract prior to starting daycare that allows you to focus on what works best for addressing your child's day to day needs. Pure & Simple has a great ratio of kids to care provider (Tara), and kids usually consistently attend for long periods of time, although she can also take kids for short periods of time if needed. (My daughter has had the same daycare best friend for the entire time she has been there.) Tara also works to ensure that kids are not coming to daycare sick, which means that I can count the number of times that I have had to miss work due to a daycare-derived illness on one hand. (We have been especially grateful of this in the midst of COVID, given that both my husband and I are "essential" workers...Tara has adjusted quickly to any changes in licensing requirements due to the pandemic and kept everyone healthy and happy.) Overall, we've loved working with Tara and her family for the past two years, and will miss her terribly. Our oldest is a well-mannered, expressive kid with great physical stamina from long daycare walks, who Tara played an important role in developing. We are so thankful for her, and happy to act as a reference if you are looking for childcare!
