Ok- Literally might cry writing this at the thought that we are having to say goodbye to Lucky Start soon because we are moving. My son has been under the care of Sona and her team for over a year and they are truly like family to him. From the moment he started there, I could tell he was in safe loving hands by the way he just loved them and got so excited to go everyday. I can't say enough great things about Lucky Start. I am blessed to have them and feel so confident and safe that he is always taken care of so well there. He has grown so much and learned a lot too since he started. I love all the fun activities, events and celebrations they put together for the kids too. Sona and the other caregivers are incredibly patient, kind and loving and always great with communicating with us too with everything that's going on. Lucky Start is such a special place and I can't recommend it enough. read more

Lucky Start was our saving grace when we moved to the neighborhood!! Sona is so incredible with all of the kids. Home cooked meals that I wish I was eating, age appropriate play and practice sitting and learning during circle time. Academically, my son is leaps and bounds above other kids his age. Don't think twice, this is hands down the best at home daycare around. read more

We couldn't have loved Lucky Start more as a daycare for our daughter - Sona, Diana and Julie are so caring and so loving. My daughter absolutely adored them and we were so sad to have to leave when we moved. This daycare helps the younger kids learn from the older ones and the older kids really look out for the little ones. They go all out for holidays and celebrate each child so well. We would drop our daughter off and never worry about her during the day - they take care of everything. We LOVE Lucky Start!!! read more

This has to be the best daycare in Burbank. My son joined Lucky Start Childcare when he was 11 months old, and he loved it from the beginning. I still remember the first pictures Sona sent of him playing and getting to know the other kids. He never cried at drop-off and was as happy as could be every day when I picked him up. Friday was his last day, as we are moving out of Burbank, and we will for sure miss the loving teachers, the other kids and parents, and all the fun activities Lucky Start Childcare does for the kids! read more

Our son is only about 16 months and has been attending lucky start for a couple of months now and he's LOVING it! So much so that he walks right in on his own. And when I pick him up he's happy as a clam as all the other kids are. read more

We could not have asked for a better daycare for our two children. First our daughter attended and then our son started at 6 months old. We dropped them off each morning knowing they would be treated like family. The providers are loving, patient, kind, and communicate well with families. The facility is welcoming and exceptionally clean. The outdoors area is like a child's wonderland! They go above and beyond for holidays and special celebrations with creative activities. Plus they provide delicious and nutritious meals all day. Any family will be lucky to have their children loved by Sona, Julie, and Dina. read more

Lucky Start has the most amazing and patient staff who truly love all the children. They taught my daughter more than just potty skills. They taught her how to recognize the alphabet, days of the week and shapes. They gave her the ability to succeed and excel in kindergarten based on a solid education that they provided. The facility is the cleanest in town. I have toured other daycares only to be burdened with the smell of urine and crying infants everywhere. Here there are plenty of helping hands who are tentative to each child's individual needs. My daughter needs love and affection and Sona and her staff delivered more than what was expected. I recommend this place and will be putting my newest born infant in this daycare as well. If you want your child to grow up in a loving environment be introduced to healthy organic foods while being in an academically pleasant space then I suggest you choose lucky start daycare. read more

Lucky Start Childcare has been a life saver for me. After leaving my last daycare I was in dire need of childcare. Sona came highly recommended and did not disappoint. It's refreshing knowing my baby girl is in good hands while I'm at work. No stress and no worries when I drop her off. They also sends cute little pictures and updates to reassure me she's in good hands throughout the day. I love that Lucky Start is very educational and dedicated to teaching my little the necessary tools she'll need once in school. Although my daughter is only 13 months I'm always surprised at the new things she learns while at Lucky Start. I'm grateful to have found this daycare and feel very "Lucky" to have my baby attend Lucky Start. read more

This was a phenomenal daycare experience, it felt like all the amenities I could have wanted from a big fancy daycare in a smaller, home daycare setting. I took my toddler to Lucky Start and I immediately noticed he made great strides in socialization, and the learning came fast and furious after that (for me personally that was something I was really looking for in a daycare). They do so many special activities/events for holidays (you can see some of them on their Instagram) and that really transforms this daycare into a much richer experience for the kids. I think the thing that stood out to me the most about Lucky Start was how warm and friendly the whole experience was. Not only was the staff delightful and very loving towards children, but the kids themselves were too, every day when I would drop my son off at least 3 kids excitedly shouted his name and rushed to give him a big hug. On top of all these great qualities the facility itself is fantastic. Not only a great home setting for meals and learning time, but the back yard was renovated into a fantastic playground area, if you're considering Lucky Start and you tour the place you'll immediately see what I'm talking about. I'd like to conclude by adding that I was reading a couple of the other reviews that have been posted here and they're all spot on. I'd highly recommend Lucky Start daycare to any parents out there looking for a great spot for their kid! read more

If I could give Lucky Start Daycare 100 stars, I would. What can I say about this Daycare except that from the moment I brought my daughter Lylah it felt like family. We had a rough start because Lylah was not used to daycare but teacher Sona Julie and Dina always made everythig so easy. We are now in our fourth month with lucky start and I can't even tell you how grateful and happy we are to have found lucky start. We have been going through a lot of hard times right now and teacher Sona has been unbelievably patient with us and has been so great with Lylah and to me we have searched for so many different Daycare 's, but I knew the minute I found Lucky start that this was the place for Liylah and me. It is very stressful and overwhelming to find the perfect place for your child to go and to be comfortable at but I guarantee you that this is the perfect place. Thank you Lucky Start thank you teachers Sona, Dina, and Julie. read more

We love Lucky Start so much! Sona and her daughters are so great with the kids. My son has been there about a year and has learned so much. Most mornings when we drop him off he just runs right in and doesn't look back, which is a great sign of how much he loves being there! With three homemade meals included and all of the loving care it is a great value. They have plenty of toys inside and out, and it's always very clean (I'm always amazed how she does it, because my house is a disaster with one toddler, let alone six!). Sona also sends photos often and posts to Instagram, so it's always fun to see what the kids are up to. In a long year of uncertainty with covid, finding Lucky Start has been a huge bright spot for us and we couldn't be happier. read more

We love Lucky Start! Highly recommend! We send our 3 year old to this daycare and she loves it! Sona who runs it is wonderful and puts her heart in to these kids everyday. The house is warm and nurturing, they have tons of toys and activities and a great backyard to play in. The hours are great for working parents and they serve three meals in a day which makes our lives so much easier. Can't recommend this daycare enough! We are so glad we found it! read more

I don't write a lot of reviews so a business has to really stand out (for good or bad) for me to take the time. I feel so fortunate to have discovered Lucky start Day Care! Sona runs the day-care from her home and is amazing. I don't know what we'd do without her. It feels like we're leaving our daughter with the family. She is always excited to visit Sona and play with the other kids. We also get photos texted so we can see the fun our daughter is having and that is awesome. The prices are very reasonable and Sona is flexible with hours. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

You will love Lucky Start daycare. She provides organic, delicious homemade food. Her personality is outstanding and she treats each child like her own. She is educated and has good experience. I know her since she was my daughter's Head Start teacher and my daughter still caries good memories with her. I do highly recommend her. read more

What can I say other than we absolutely loved Lucky Start Childcare. My 2 year old has gone to LS for the last several months and he had the best time and was so well taken care of. The owners are super responsive and my son comes home daily talking about how much he loves "Sona House". He even asks to go on the weekends haha I would highly recommend if you're looking for a great home daycare for your little one. read more

I am so grateful we found Lucky Start. Sona and Hasmik are so unbelievably kind. You can tell how much they love caring for children. My son immediately felt comfortable with them. I love that they send pictures and updates throughout the day. Sona also makes delicious, organic meals, and has helped my little one eat new things! This is our first time ever having our son at a daycare as I went back work and Lucky Start has made the transition so wonderful! read more

Great family child care. My daughter has been attending this place up until covid19 situation took place. But we will definitely come back once situation is normalized and we are allowed back to work. Owner Sona is passionate about kids and I've always seen my daughter's happy smile while she was there. This place has everything needed to run it nice and safe. Location is very convenient in Burbank. Price is moderate. I strongly suggest this childcare to you and your kids. read more

You will not find a better daycare in Burbank for your little one. After not having the best experience elsewhere, I found Sona at Lucky Start Daycare and I can't say enough good things about her, her helpers Dina and Julie and the overall daycare itself. These ladies are some of the kindest women I have ever met, in my life. The love they have for these children is unmatchable. Her daycare is like a Childs dream come true! The toys, the space, and most importantly the outdoor area in the back! She has done a beautiful job with her house. Sona cooks all of the meals herself (organic) and the kids just love it! My little guy started eating SO much better once he started here. My son is on the shy side and takes some time to warm up and the staff here was so patient and loving with him. I felt fully confident dropping him off every day. Sona is extremely communicative and sends photos and will chat with you when you come for pick up. My son will be starting preschool now and I am soooo sad to be leaving this place. I am so happy that we got to experience it though. He has learned his ABC's, counting, and tons of songs! He is polite, says please and thank you and I owe a lot of this to Sona, Dina and Julie. I am happy to talk personally with any other parent that is considering this daycare or has questions. We will miss you Lucky Start!! Thank you for everything! read more

What can I say, we are SO lucky to have found Mrs. Sona and her wonderful daughters. I was so worried about sending my daughter to daycare as she is my first born and I didn't know what to expect. But they made me feel so much better. When we first started we even got pictures of her throughout the day. Now she jumps into Mrs. Sona's arms in the mornings! They are so sweet and patient with her. She sometimes has trouble napping when not at home and they give her cuddles and make sure she gets her rest. The kids get good healthy meals everyday and special occasions like birthdays always get celebrated! The kids do holiday arts and crafts and it's the best thing to get after a long day at work. They even get to wear their costumes on Halloween! The kids get plenty of outdoor time during the day and lots of love and attention. My daughter is always in the best mood when we pick her up. It's truly a blessing to have them as part of our "village". Would recommend to anyone wanting or needing the extra help. Feel free to reach out to me if you're a parent considering them or have any questions! read more

We feel so fortunate to have found this daycare! Sona and Hasmik are a wonderful family team of caretakers. Our daughter is 18 months old and has been with them for about a year and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. We've already referred other friends to them and will continue to do so! read more
