Wow! If you're thinking of sending your child to daycare, Mamachka's Daycare is the absolute best! I can't say enough good things about this daycare! My 1 yr old has being going here since he was 4 months old and absolutely loves it; it's his favorite place to be--he practically jumps out of my arms when he sees Beatris and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable and I trust them implicitly. It's gotten to the point where all of my mom friends ask me what Beatris thinks about baby/toddler things because she's such a wealth of knowledge! Highly recommend--FIVE STARS read more

Our daughter who is 2 year old currently goes to Mamachka daycare part time. We really like working with Ms Beatris, the daycare owner. She is good with communication, flexible and caring. Our daughter enjoys going to daycare - drop off is easy, she looks forward to playing with her friends. It's also very nice that all meals are included so I don't have to pack her food. They have a beautiful garden and spends time playing outside. Highly recommend Mamachka Daycare! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Mamachka. Our child started at just 3 months old, and I was nervous about beginning daycare so early. But the owner, Beatris, immediately put me at ease. She treated our baby like family, and I truly believe that's exactly the kind of environment infants need. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will feel like part of the family, this is the place. Even as a second-time parent, I found myself often seeking advice from Beatris--her years of experience and education really shine through. Whenever Beatris wasn't there, she always introduced me to the caregivers who would be looking after my child and made sure I had their phone numbers. That level of communication and trust meant a lot. With so few infant daycares in Sherman Oaks, I felt incredibly lucky to find Mamachka with an opening. And as a bonus, the children are spoken to in Armenian and Russian, giving them wonderful early exposure to multiple languages. read more

I found out about Mamachkas through a neighbor referral, and while I was reading the reviews I saw an old co-worker who also brings their child to this Mamachkas. Reading reviews you only can learn so much. But I felt really good sending our son here with two real life families that weren't complete strangers as referrals. Our son started going to Mamachkas at four months old, and this would be the very first time someone watched him without me being in the other room. As a first time mother I was very nervous. The first two weeks, I was worried with him crying at drop off he was going to be kicked out. Beatris let me know this is totally normal, and he will adjust. She wasn't wrong. He started really enjoying his time there, and I love how all meals are included. He ate really well, and I loved that I had a little foodie baby. Our son only stayed for around 8 months before my job's location moved further away and we had switched him to a different daycare. It's SO hard to find daycares that take Infants. Not everyone is lucky to have family nearby to help out, so it's really nice when you find someone to trust with your children! When we left, we felt forever grateful for Beatris, and her helpers - they were really there for our son and us! read more

What a hidden gem! We found Beatris a few months ago and it's been such a blessing. She's so amazing with all the kids and my daughter absolutely loves her!! She gives her hugs and kisses everytime we leave. Beatris is so kind, nurturing and attentive to my daughter. We're so lucky to have found her! read more

Our son started with Beatris at 5 months old and is now almost 2 and he's loved going to school every single day. From the very beginning, Beatris has been amazing--he absolutely loves her. Every morning when she opens the door, he runs right in with the biggest smile, and at pickup he never wants to leave. The care and attention the staff give to the kids is so clear, and it truly feels like a warm, safe, and happy environment. Knowing he's excited to be there every day gives us so much peace of mind as parents. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this daycare. read more

Beatris has been an incredible find for our family. My son is completely obsessed with her--he never wants to leave and is always so excited to see her every morning. She creates such a warm, loving environment, and it shows in how much he enjoys being there. Finding infant care can be challenging, but Beatris welcomed us with open arms. My son started at just 5 months old, and as a first-time mom, leaving him in someone else's care wasn't easy. However, Beatris made the transition seamless and gave me complete peace of mind from the very first day. Every day, he comes home well-rested, well-fed, clean, and, most importantly, happy. Beatris clearly puts a lot of thought into making sure each child feels comfortable and safe. She is attentive, nurturing, and truly understands the individual needs of each child. We feel so fortunate to have found her! If you're looking for a home daycare where your child will thrive, Beatris is your person. Highly recommend! read more

If you are looking for an amazing daycare that also accepts infants, Mamachka is a great choice! We are so grateful to have found Beatris and her daycare. Beatris and everyone who works with her has treated our son (7 months old) with love and care. He is always well fed, happy and clean when we pick him up. Beatris cares so much about our baby, we always feel secure and comfortable when we drop him off. As a first time mom, knowing he was in the care of such wonderful people made leaving him a little easier. We have only been attending the daycare for three months and we already feel like part of their family. They truly care about our son and his well being. We are looking forward to having our son here for many more years (as long as she'll have us). read more

We sent our son to Beatris when he was 5 months old, which was much earlier than we had even considered sending our older kid to daycare. Beatris came highly recommended to us by a friend, and she couldn't have been more right. Mamachka and Beatris immediately felt like home -- like we were dropping our son off with a family member. She loved him instantly and unconditionally, even when he was going through rough skin issues that we couldn't resolve and was at times inconsolable. He was happy at drop-off and rarely ever cried, just ran right in like he knew he belonged. It was an amazing experience for us and I couldn't imagine sending my baby anywhere else to thrive and get the nourishment and attention he needed. When we left for preschool, she showered our son with love and "graduation" presents. We were all tearing up, it was so sweet! If I have another kid I would definitely send them back to Beatris!! read more

I toured this facility before the pandemic. I thought the owner was nice but was really turned off by the space. It was dark and didn't seem child friendly. There was mostly hard surfaces, nothing that would tell you it's a daycare. The backyard is mostly brick. The house also smelled like cigarette smoke.One red flag was that she told me she bathed the kids before going home everyday so they're clean. That's a giant no for me to have someone else undress and wash my child. She said the other parents love it. That's questionable. Also there was a bottle of liquor on the table. I know it's been a while and I went back and forth about reviewing but now that my kid has been at a normal, clean daycare I see a big difference. The bath part I can't forget about. read more

My daughter has been with Beatris and the team at Mamachka's daycare for about a year and this review won't do justice to how incredible they are. We started our daughter at 5 months and were obviously nervous at first. Beatris provided updates, sent pictures, and treated our daughter like her own. As time has gone on, my daughter gets a huge smile on her face every time we pull up for drop off and has learned so much in such a short period of time. Beatris truly treats each kid as if they are her own and we feel so fortunate to have found her. I can't think of one thing I would change about Mamachka's Daycare. read more

Mamachka is a dream daycare! You can really tell that Beatris and her staff love these kids and love their job. When I drop my daughter off at daycare, I know I am leaving her in good hands. read more

Our daughter, who is 13 months old, has been at Mamachka's for two and a half months and we are thrilled. Every day, Beatris and her staff create a warm and welcoming environment. From the moment the front door opens, we know she is in the most capable hands. Beatris has helped our baby transition from being a little scared to leave mom and dad at the start of each day to now enjoying the drop-off routine. It really does feel like we're sending her to hang with family. They do a great job of keeping us updated with photos and videos and reports on how baby ate, slept and played. Thanks to Beatris, baby has become a confident eater! She always heads home at the end of each day happy and clean. If you're looking for a wonderful, intimate in-home day care, we can't recommend Mamachka's enough. read more

UPDATE We're still going strong We are on year two of my son attending Mamachaka's and we couldn't be happier. Beatris is wonderful and my son is always excited when he gets dropped off. He is learning so much under her care. Beatris feeds the kids well and her facility is clean. My son gets along very well with the other children. All the kids look happy that attend there. She has been helping us with potty training and I feel great about having my son under her care. I know my son is safe and he always comes out looking like he had a great day. We are very grateful read more

We love mamatcka! Our 10 month old is so we'll take care of. He comes home happy and clean, always. When we drop him off, he reaches for the teacher. That's all we can ask for is our baby to be happy and loved at daycare. I recommend mamatcka for your baby!! Wonderful teachers and care. read more

Mamachka's daycare has been absolutely amazing for our family. Both my wife and I had little options where to take our son when we were looking for daycare due to him being 4 months at the time. When we found Mamachka's daycare, we called immediately and were given time to tour that week! It's a pleasant home daycare with low child to staff ratio. Beatris, who runs this daycare, will treat your child like her own. It was really important we find good care for our son since he was so little. Now when we take him, he's smiling when she welcomes him for the day. She will communicate early incase of daycare closure or if supplies are needed. Time flexibility is offered here as well! Highly recommend if you are searching for a daycare spot, especially if you have a child under 1, that you give this place a call! read more

We are still so incredibly happy with Mamachka's daycare and love watching our son grow. He's not even 2 and he's counting to 12, knows colors, knows shapes. He is always so happy when I pick him up and excited in the morning when I drop him off. They foster such great relationships between the kids and it's really one big family. Beatris is transparent and respectful of my requests as a parent. She works with you as a team. read more

Our son is 6 months old & has been attending Mamachka's Daycare for a month. We were so nervous to take him to daycare at such a young age, but it's been a wonderful experience. Beatris clearly loves babies & little kids. She's incredibly warm & makes sure the kids are clean & fed at the end of the day. Our son seems incredibly happy at pickup, and the older kids we've seen don't want to leave. Plus she's been very helpful in getting him to extend his naps which has been a godsend. We feel so lucky to have found Mamachka's. read more

Beatris is gem of a person. She and her team took such great care of my daughter. She loves going to the daycare and used to always come home happy. She fed her well, made sure she was getting all the right nutrients in her diet. We definitely recommend her daycare for the love and care she gives to all the kid under her care. read more

Beatris and everyone at Mamachka have been like a second family to us! They all care about our son just as much if not more than we do! I am so happy to have found a place that is affordable for our family and I know my baby is well cared for and enjoys being at! Thank you Beatris! read more

I cant say enough great things about Beatris & her day care. We sent my son here from 2019-2020 and now my daughter, who is now 1, has been going here since she was 4 months old. We absolutely love Beatris and she takes the BEST care of our babies. She is loving, attentive, and extremely responsible. Some of our favorite details of her day care include: open and prompt communication via text message, healthy breakfast, snacks & lunch prepared daily, daily reports, low adult to child ratio, flexibility with our schedule and reliability. Beatris is great with little ones; her warmth and love is so apparent as soon as you see her with them & they are so happy to see her everyday! We trust her completely and can't thank her enough for taking care of our little ones. read more

We found Beastris and her team via yelp and placed our little one with them when she was about 5 months old. I am a first time mom and was very anxious, but Beatris has been incredible. She's warm, loving and cares for our baby like she's her own. Our baby always comes home well fed and happy. I have the utmost confidence that when our baby is with Beatris she is happy and safe. I highly recommend her. Fee is reasonable as well! read more

Beatris is amazing. We feel completely safe leaving our toddler with her. Our child always leaves cleaner than when she came and we can tell she loves being there. Beatris is incredibly flexible and communicative, which is a must for two working parents. We're not sure we ever want our toddler to leave. As for the one negative review, I could not disagree more. read more

I am over the moon happy that I was able to get a daycare spot for my four month-old at Mamachka's Daycare. These days it's difficult to find people you can trust, but Beatris is a rare gem. She put my mind at ease from day one, and has been a tremendous resource for me as I'm a first-time mom. We feel like family at Mamachka's Daycare, and that's thanks to Beatris's patient, generous, and loving nature. She's managed to create a beautiful home, and I'm so thankful she is sharing it with my little one. From the stunning outdoor garden area brimming with fruit trees and safe, lovely spaces to take strolls in, to the delicious smell of organic foods being cooked in the kitchen, every little detail is so well-thought of and nurturing for our baby. Thank you Beatris! We adore you. read more

I am so lucky to have found Mamachka's Daycare for my daughter, and as soon as I met Beatris, I instantly realized this would be a great fit. Beatris is caring, professional, and loving toward my daughter, and I've seen how much she cares for all the little ones. Her space is always spotless clean, homemade meals are always the norm, and I am so happy to know that my daughter is in a safe environment. I can't say enough amazing things about the backyard, which is so charming with all the beautiful gardening Beatris has done and where everything is again super child-safe. Mamachka daycare always smells amazing and that's no surprise given the amazing meals that are being made multiple times a day. I am happy to recommend Mamachka to all parents with little ones. I am super grateful! read more

Several days ago we had second anniversary of our toddler attending this daycare and we couldn't be happier! I know that he is properly taken care of throughout the day and I see the amazing results of daily activities and education based play. We absolutely love Beatris, Hayk and Yana and so grateful for their hard work. Highly recommend! read more

Early this year, I got a job and needed a daycare ASAP to take care of my 5-month-old while my husband and I were working. Many daycares only take children 1-year-old and above, but Beatris had a spot available. I toured many daycares in my area, but we got a good feeling about Beatris because she is warm, honest, and has a beautiful home and close-knit family. Now, after 9 months, we thank our blessings every day that we have Beatris. Our baby loves her so much and is happy every day she goes to daycare. She responds to Russian, loves the homemade food that Beatris cooks, and has developed really great habits for eating, playing, and napping. On my baby's 1st birthday, Beatris made it really special with her playmates and family members and even knitted a gorgeous sweater for her. She sends photos and videos, and is understanding and flexible regarding the hours you will need her assistance. During this pandemic, she has not accepted any new children, so everyone has stayed safe and COVID-free. Any child would be so lucky to have Beatris and her wonderful family take care of them. As a parent, I can rest easy knowing that someone loves our baby as much as we do. Beatris has become family to us. read more

I can't speak highly enough of Beatris and her team! My daughter has been going to Mamachka's for nine months now and couldn't be happier. Beatris truly loves the babies and toddlers in her care, that is glaringly obvious from the way they interact. I sometimes think my daughter is more excited to see Beatris that anyone else! Mamachka's is also a very personal experience. I don't have experiences with other daycares to compare, but my daughter has had a birthday party, a first tooth party and countless other incredibly thoughtful and caring moments that go above and beyond what I expected from a daycare, and what I have heard about other daycares from friends. My daughter is so happy to see Beatris every morning and is clean, well fed and content when I pick her up. Almost since the first day, I have never worried about her being in the safest hands. All the other children that I see seem to be equally happy at Mamachka's. I feel really lucky that we found Beatris with our first child and hope that this review helps other parents navigating the world of daycare! read more

I want to share my great experience with Mamachka's day care. I was searching for a very long time to find a small sized, clean daycare, where care givers are not taking it as a business, where they care about the babies and where there is one on one attention given to the children. I am so happy I came across Mamachka's Daycare and got to know Beatris. The place is everything I need for my baby: clean, safe, childproof, with homemade food. It is also very flexible -- not only for when I need to change the hours and come earlier/later but also on the payment plan. Most important I met with the owner, Beatris -- such an intelligent, highly educated and very open and easy to talk to lady. The minute I talked to her, she made me and my little one feel welcome and it felt as though I have known her for years. I am so happy that after all this long time I finally found a truly great family daycare. And it's been almost four months that we are coming to Mamachka's Daycare and truly we are blessed! read more

We love Beatris and Mamachka's Daycare! We've been taking our newly turned 1 year old to Mamachka's since he was 5 months old, and we couldn't be more grateful to Beatris and her team! Our son absolutely loves her and is so happy when he gets dropped off every day. They care about him so much, and take the absolute best care of him. We are at total ease knowing that he's at a daycare that treats him like part of their family. The location is great, and the actual daycare is beautiful with a big backyard and tons of space for the kids and babies to spend time in. Additionally, Beatris makes all of the food and it's all organic. Our son eats so well when he's there, and in turn has become a great eater at home too. He always comes home dry and clean with a big smile on his face. We are so thrilled to have found Mamachka's Daycare and will continue to bring our son there while he's growing and any other babies we may have in the future. I couldn't not recommend this daycare more highly! read more

Beatris and Kanar are amazing! They have been taking care of our daughter since she was 15 weeks old. They are both so warm and loving and so obviously love kids. She sends me videos and gives me reports of what my daughter did/didn't do etc. She shares concerns and has always offered to adjust her hours to accommodate my unexpected work delays. The ratio of adults to kids is the best one we found and that was the most desirable aspect. The kids get organized home cooked meals everyday and we attribute our daughters outgoing personality to the socialization aspect this daycare provides. They sing songs and the kids play with one another at such a young age it's adorable. We are so happy and LUCKY to have such caring people look after our daughter, we owe them so much! read more

Beatris is gem of a person. She and her team took such great care of my daughter. She loves going to the daycare and used to always come home happy. She fed her well, made sure she was getting all the right nutrients in her diet. We definitely recommend her daycare for the love and care she gives to all the kid under her care. read more

We brought our daughter to Beatris' daycare from the age of two-months until she was 3.5 years old. I would have kept her there until Kindergarten if we hadn't moved out of the State. While there she received care and attention that you would never find in a larger facility. She had a loving environment that was more of a second home with a second family. Beatris was the closest thing to a grandmother our daughter had. She's now in preschool and far above the average in terms of sociability and school readiness. And because of the trilingual environment, her language skills are excellent. As for the comments I've seen about the smoke smell and the conditions of the place, they're absurd. I had become friendly with Beatris' family over the years and we never experienced any but a loving environment, smelling homemade food, and seeing happy children at drop-off and pickup. Anyone would be lucky to have Beatris in their child's life and we miss her dearly. read more

Beatris is the most loving, kind and reliable care person. We took our 4month old to her and she immediately loved her like her own. She responds quickly to texts/calls and has always respected our parenting while helping us along the way too - it takes a village and we are so grateful she is part of ours. read more

AMAZING DAYCARE!!!! TRULY THE BEST IN THE VALLEY!! Finding a place for my 6-week-old baby girl was a not an easy process as I (like many other mothers) wanted to find a safe, clean, loving, and trustworthy place. Especially being a first time mother with a newborn I wanted to ensure that I could leave to work in peace without worrying about my baby's safety. I truly can say that BEATRIS is an INCREDIBLE person that takes pride and joy in taking care of every child at her daycare. My baby is now almost 4 months old and has formed a bond with Beatris and this is all due to Beatris taking a genuine interest in the well being of my baby girl and her overall development. I am so grateful that Beatris not only takes such great care of my baby, but in addition has taught me ways to support my baby's milestones. And as a bonus her home is beautiful, clean, and peaceful. read more

So grateful to have found this daycare. When looking for someone to watch my baby, it was very stressful because I wanted someone that could care for her like I do. As soon as we met Beatris, I could tell how loving and caring she is. I feel very comfortable having my baby here. Her home is very clean and homey. She also makes homemade food, which is a huge bonus. My daughter also loves Beatris and enjoys being there. Daycare hours are very flexible and Beatris is very understanding. We are so lucky to have our baby go to this daycare. read more

This is a tough one to pen, but we feel the need to share our experience with Bea. Bea advertised herself as specializing in infant care, and as soon as we met her we could tell she loves babies. Her in-home daycare is very low key, and the ratio of adults to children is hard to beat. When we began leaving our 7-month daughter with her, she was one of only three or four babies at any given time. There are a lot of things we loved about Bea's daycare. We liked the drop-off flexibility in the mornings, as well as the afternoons, even if we had to pay extra for it. Bea makes food from scratch to feed the kids, and is very involved, although she did not wash our bottles. Our daughter appeared to be happy, seemed to eat normally, and we were told she would sleep for long periods in the afternoons--although this was while strapped into her stroller and not in a crib or pack and play. There were little things that bothered us about Bea's place, such as the fact that it never seemed to be quite baby-proofed. The room where she keeps the kids is her family home's living room, and there was always a bowl of almonds on the very low coffee table (an obvious choking hazard). We didn't see socket covers in all of her sockets, and her flat-screen TV was not strapped down. We asked her when she would fully baby-proof, as our daughter was already an active crawler, and she insisted that her home was baby-proofed... These things bothered us, but as we said, the ratio of adults to kids could not be beat and it can be difficult to find a spot for an infant in a decent day care. Our bigger issue began when Bea gave us one week's notice that she would be going on a 2-week trip overseas and her mother, who does not speak English, would be left in charge. But the big problem was when my spouse picked up our child one day and the car seat and travel bag positively REEKED of cigarette smoke. It's a distinctive smell, and was so strong that it was still noticeable the next morning, even after we let the car seat and bag air out overnight on our patio. This made us very uncomfortable; smoking cigarettes anywhere near an infant is inexcusable. When we asked the mother (via the son, our interpreter) about the smell, we were told it was barbecue smoke that had infiltrated the house and he apologized and assured us it would not happen again. When we brought our daughter back after the weekend (we had no child care alternative), the house itself smelled like stale cigarette smoke. When I broached the topic with Bea's Mother and Father that morning, I was once again met with denials and differing explanations for the smoke. Bea was not present, but it did not matter. The situation left us feeling a lack of trust and we could not stomach leaving our baby in that house any longer. We have since moved on, and found a much more established and experienced in-home day care facility. read more

Beatris has been watching our 7 month old son for 4 months now and we only have good things to say. It's hard to find daycare for infants, especially one you really feel comfortable leaving your kid all day. Our son is always happy to see Beatris greeting him in the morning and is in a good mood when we pick him up.She's also very flexible with our work schedule and is the only caregiver we've found that can watch our son until 6:30 pm. Bringing our son there feels more like leaving him with family than a daycare service, which we love. read more

This is my second coming back to this daycare. I found it very very loving and homey environment. I specific especially like Beatris that treats my son like her own and I'm very comfortable having my son there. read more

Beatris has been working in daycare for over 20 years. This is her first time running one. I take my ten and a half month old for daycare and she treats her like a princess. Beatris is loving and kind. She also speaks to my daughter in Russian at my request. We appreciate the diverse exposure Beatris offers. We hope that our daughter will meet other children through Beatris' loving care. read more
