I can't say enough good things about Sweet Sunshine Daycare and the pivotal role it has played in…read morethe growth and happiness of our two daughters. Our oldest joined at 16 months, and our youngest started at just 6 months. Both thrived under the attentive care of Eliana and her dedicated team, who feel like an extension of our family, treating our children with sincere affection and kindness. Sweet Sunshine is conveniently located just off the 101, nestled against Corte Madera Town Park. The daycare offers great flexibility, with drop-off as early as 7:30am and pick-up as late as 5:30pm. Each day begins and ends with a genuine sense of warmth, as Eliana, Vicky, or Sandra are always there to greet you, making even hectic mornings feel manageable. I always leave with peace of mind, knowing the girls are in a stimulating environment filled with learning, yoga, soccer, music, art, and imaginative play. The daycare is impeccably clean, and the staff takes every measure to keep the children healthy - something we especially valued during the pandemic. Eliana is a magician in the kitchen, preparing wholesome, nutrient-packed flavorful meals the kids genuinely love: oatmeal with fruits and eggs and yogurt, chicken fried rice with veggies, pasta with beef and broccoli, and lentils, which have somehow become a favorite! The transition to solid foods for our youngest was seamless thanks to Eliana's guidance. On more than one occasion, we joked that Sweet Sunshine was the only place she would eat her vegetables! Eliana's generosity shines through, as she often sends home containers full of delicious food for long weekends or holidays. The sense of community at Sweet Sunshine is special. We've built lasting friendships with other families, even after their children graduated. There's a shared sense of gratitude, knowing our kids are being cared for with compassion, and a rich foundational curriculum that includes language (English/Spanish/Portuguese), numbers, motor skills, music, and art class led by Teacher Angela - her themed projects (e.g., animals, plants, seasons, occupations, cultures) engage the children while stimulating their imaginations and self expression. The backyard play area is often buzzing with music, dancing, and free play, ensuring the kids are not only learning but also getting plenty of exercise and building strong friendships and having fun together. Eliana's creativity goes beyond the curriculum, with her elaborate holiday decorations and nearly weekly celebrations. The birthdays are especially magical, filled with singing, dancing, dress-up, thoughtful gifts, and balloons. She captures these moments beautifully, often sending parents hundreds of candid photos that offer a window into the children's world of wonder. The Halloween and Winter Holiday parties are family favorites, and there are countless opportunities to experience the joy and warmth of Sweet Sunshine's inclusive and welcoming culture. After four incredible years, it's hard to express just how much Sweet Sunshine has meant to our family. Eliana and her team have created a loving sanctuary where our girls have flourished. I wholeheartedly recommend Sweet Sunshine Daycare to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching, and joyful environment for their children. We are forever grateful for the experience!

We have really enjoyed meeting the other families and get together regularly outside of school. Michelle, June and Mimi are all such wonderful teachers. Our daughter has already learned so much from them and even asks to go to school each morning. We really appreciate the daily communication from they provide and feel more than comfortable with them caring for our daughter. We really feel so grateful to have found this program and I can't recommend it enough!!

I did a petting zoo event here today and I have to say I could not believe how well-mannered and…read morewell-behaved the kids were! This little nursery school is very clean while still being incredibly fun and interactive with plenty of outside play. Miss Michelle and Miss June are both GREAT with the kids- I was even taking mental notes on how to parent me own future children! You can tell that they keep the kids active, involved, and encourage creativity. The amount of parent communication and involvement in the school is also something that just warms my heart. I absolutely cannot wait to be a part of Miss Michelle's upcoming Wilderness Cubs nature learning program!!

We sent our two year old to Let's Play for about 8 months and it was an extremely positive…read moreexperience. Ms. Bella and her staff are very attentive to the children's social and emotional needs. Bella puts a lot of effort and imagination into creating daily activities for children to take part in. It was easy to see from pick ups and drop offs how happy the children were to be there and how a ease other parents were in leaving their kids for the day. Another plus of Let's Play is how affordable it is, especially because Ms. Bella provides diapers for the children and prepares them lunch. You could pay more at other daycares, but I don't know that your return, at least for a 2 year old, would be comparable. The only reason we stopped sending our daughter to Let's Play is because we had the unique opportunity to send her to a language immersion program elsewhere. To reiterate, we really really liked Let's Play and we highly recommend it to folks with a young child.

My youngest daughter started at LMDC when she was just 3 months old and there is no one I would…read morehave trusted more with her care. Miss Ann has created a safe and nurturing environment that gives each child the structure and predictability they need. I appreciated that she has a dedicated area for babies, and that her nap schedule works well for both babies with 2-3 naps and toddlers with one nap. My oldest also had a wonderful experience and both kids transitioned seamlessly to preschool after graduating from LMDC. We live in Mill Valley and it was worth the daily trip over the hill for 4 years! We will always have a special place in our hearts for Miss Ann and LMDC.

We are forever grateful for Miss Ann and the LMDC staff!…read more Our daughter started daycare when she was one year old, and from the very beginning, we knew this was the right place for her. Miss Ann's experience is priceless. She's always giving us tips to support our daughter's development. LMDC has provided our Olympia with all the tools to become a curious, smart and loving little girl. We know she's ready to rock at preschool after 2 years thriving at LMDC. She can count, recognize colors and shapes, and cleans up after playing with her toys. Every night Olympia gives thanks for her teachers and her daycare friends. Our top priority when we were looking for daycare was to find a place where Olympia would feel loved, respected and challenged and LMDC definitely was and is that! The Medina Family, October 2022

The hours of 7:30-5:30 are also great for full time working parents.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about ABC Child Care and Enas!…read more As a first time mom, sending your infant child to daycare can be daunting. As a professional who works in pediatric healthcare/development, I wanted to make sure my son went to a loving environment that would enrich his developmental outcomes. ABC Child Care was just that. Enas is so kind and knowledgeable and truly made me feel at ease with sending my then 9 month old son into her care. My son has thrived in his development over the past year and I am so happy to have Enas and everyone at ABC Child Care as part of my "village" with raising my son. We are unfortunately moving out of the area and will miss ABC Child Care so much! If we move back before my son is school age, he will definitely be coming back here (if there is room :)). If you value a home environment and loving care for your infant/toddler, look no further!

They create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere that feels like extended family. My son is well fed and rested, and enjoys a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. He comes home exhibiting empathy for his siblings and saying "sorry" and "thank you" - which is so adorable and reassuring. The daycare's hours are very accommodating for working parents. They are open most of the year and provide ample notice for closures. As neighbors, the Marinwood location is incredibly convenient, making drop-offs and pick-ups a breeze. The price strikes me as competitive with nearby options, and they are flexible regarding contract schedule and drop-ins. The combination of a warm, familial environment, convenient hours, and an excellent location makes it an great choice - highly recommended!

Ninne has created an extremely safe and fun place for the kids. Our daughter has learned so much from the program (please and thank you, language skills, play skills, etc). The facilities are always very clean and has a beautiful outdoor play area. Kiddie Cloud has great communication with me as a parent and has even very graciously worked with my schedule to provide the care that we need. I highly recommend sending your child here.
