We absolutely loved having our daughter attend Mimi's Home Daycare. My daughter began attending daycare when she was 15 months old and it was a perfect fit! Mimi, the owner of the daycare, is loving and nurturing, and the kids just adore her. She provides a nutritious breakfast and lunch for the children and a snack in the afternoon. As a working parent, her program hours were ideal opening at 7:30 am and closing at 5:30 pm. Her rates are affordable, and her attention to the stages of child development are impeccable. Our daughter treats Mimi as part of our family, and she truly is. Mimi cared for my daughter all the way till she was 3.5 years. We are so lucky to have found Mimi and her lovely daycare. I highly recommend her daycare for any family needing quality and nurturing child care. This daycare invests in your child. read more

I feel blessed to have found Mimi's daycare for my first daughter over 2 years ago when she was just over a year old. Her home is clean, welcoming and she treats and loves the kids as her own. I appreciate she keeps it small so each child has the attention needed; usually 4 kids at most. While my first moved to preschool, my second daughter is there now and she also loves being there. read more

I was fortunate enough to find Mimi's daycare through a friend of mine & fortunately we live around the corner, 2 blocks away! Our 3 y/o girl went there first and now our 1 & 1/2 year old has been there for a year, they both love Mimi so much! Mimi is amazing and so is her house, inside the playroom is well organized with tons of toys, music instruments and the kids love to play out in the beautiful large backyard. She provides breakfast/lunch and snacks, and the nap rooms are cozy and clean. She also keeps the enrollment low, never more than four kids. It's apparent Mimi is a mom herself, and has had her daycare for a long time, and we frequently lean on her for advice. She is more than just our daycare, we consider her a friend, we love her and would recommend her to anybody! read more

My daughter has been going to Mimi's Daycare since she was 5 months old, now she is 19 months and she loves every day she is able to go to daycare. Not only to see the other kids, but to see Mimi. Every time I bring my daughter in, the first thing she wants to do is give Mimi a hug. When I first met Mimi I immediately thought, "she reminds me so much of my mom, this is the place for my daughter. 100% no doubt at all." You can feel the love inside her home from the holiday decorations, to the new toys that always seem to find their way into the house, to all of the past and present photos of kids she has taken care. Mimi cares so much for every kid she take care of, I can't tell you how much she loves them all, it's something you have to see. The outdoor space is wonderful for the kids to run around, explore, play and learn. You know it's a daycare with the amount of play structures, slides and cars that are in the backyard. I have said it before, and I will say it again, this daycare is filled with love and Mimi is such a caring, amazing and loving individual. I don't think any child going here could have a bad time. read more

My son started attending Mimi's daycare when he was about 8 months old. I was a new mom and already had my own reservations about putting him in daycare but Mimi was able to put those to rest immediately. Once I had my interview with her and was able to see how comfortable my son was with her I knew she would be the one. She is very patient and caring with the kids, my son had a hard time adjusting and she knew exactly how to put him at ease. I love that she keeps the kids close in age so my son was constantly learning from his friends and it would show everyday he came home. Definitely recommend! read more

My daughter just spent the last 1.5 years at Mimi's and had the most beautiful experience. Mimi took care of our kiddo like her own. She became family. The care, the play, the love, the creativity, Mimi puts into her daycare is unparalleled. Every day (without exception) I walked in the door, Mimi was on the ground inside or out, playing with the kids, truly engaged. I get teary eyed thinking about how for the rest of our lives I will feel ridiculously lucky that our girl was loved and cared for so well, by Mimi. read more

This review is LONG overdue, and I don't even know where to start. There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was with Marilyn and Mimi's Daycare. In a nutshell, we will NEVER find a better daycare. My husband and I moved out of state and that is the only reason we stopped going to Marilyn or else both of our kids would still be there. As many people know choosing daycare is a very hard thing especially with your first kiddo and the first time experiencing this process. Marilyn is beyond amazing and treated my son as if he was her own. The love and respect that she has in her home is so welcoming and you are never left with an uneasy feeling leaving your child. It was to the point where my son couldn't say, "bye mommy" fast enough every morning. And every evening when we picked him up, he was kicking and screaming because he was having so much fun and didn't want to leave. Marilyn is ALWAYS doing arts and crafts for all holidays with the kids, buying balloons, bubbles, or something fun for the kids to play with. Our son was always happy and laughing when he was picked up. I cannot express how much we love and miss Mimi's daycare and are forever grateful for her and how well she treated our son and our family. read more

As a new mom I was very cautious and weary of putting my 5 month old daughter into childcare. We chose Mimi and she really made the transition back to work easier by showing us that our baby was in a loving and safe environment. Her home is is clean and welcoming, with many age appropriate activities and toys. Many times I find myself wanting to stay and play with Mimi and the kids rather than go to work. Mimi is much more than a caregiver, she genuinely loves children and enjoys the time she she spends with them. She has an kind, gentle and nurturing soul who is compassionate to the evolving needs of each child. Every little one loves her, and she forms a unique bond with each of them. We are lucky to have found such a wonderful person to help to raise our little girl. read more

Mimi has been a true gift to our family! It was so difficult to go back to work when each of our kids were 5 months old, but leaving them in Mimi's loving arms helped to ease the transition. Mimi has been an incredible partner in parenting. She fed them nutritious, varied, and homemade breakfast, lunch and snacks. She fostered their creativity was an abundance of art projects. Her welcoming backyard allowed them to explore nature and play! Our kids loved finding rolly pollies and worms, making chalk art, riding 3 wheelers, going down the slide, or digging in the sandbox. Mimi provided a wide range of age-appropriate activities. From 5 months to 3 years old, Mimi ensured my precious little ones were well loved and happy. We took great comfort in knowing our kids were cared for by Mimi, as if they were her own. read more

I first heard of Mimi when searching for daycare for my newborn son. I had a friend who had her son with Mimi for several years when he was an infant. I visited several sites but are so happy we chose Mimi. Her love for the kids is obvious and she takes great care of them. She is easy going and keeps a calm energy around the house while being sure the kids are safe at all times. They do things like art projects, reading books, playing dress-up, using building and problem solving toys, and playing outside when the weather is nice. She also teaches them things like good manners and how to play together in a very natural, easy going way. We had a second child only 18 months after our son was born and were so happy Mimi had an opening for her too. Mimi makes homemade meals for them, breakfast, snacks and lunch and my kids always ate well. When my kids were still nursing I dropped them off with pumped breastmilk and even stopped by to breastfeed sometimes on my lunch break - she was very encouraging of this. As far as our needs as parents Mimi was always very flexible and understanding with us. I visited some places that charged by the minute starting when you were one minute late to pick up your kids. Mimi understood when there was the occasional traffic jam. She was also flexible on us arranging to bring the kids on additional days or swapping days as long as she had availability. All that said, the most important thing for us was that our babies were safe and well-loved. We had no doubt that with Mimi they were. It was so hard to move them when it came time for them to go to pre-school. They've been in pre-school for several months and they still ask to go to Mimi's. So we sometimes drop by to say hi and she's always happy to see them. We still do drop-in days from time to time (my kids are now 2.5 and almost 4). It can be hard to choose a childcare situation but we feel so lucky we found someone who loved and cared for our kids so well, it's obvious her heart is in it. read more

I started taking my daughter to Mimi at 4 months old. My daughter thrived with the interaction with the other kids. Mimi provides so much love to my daughter and she always had a huge smile when we walked in the door and saw her. Mimi was super organized as well as flexible with us on days when we had to swap out care on a Tuesday for a Friday some weeks due to changes in my work schedule. She is reasonably priced and I would definitely recommend her! As a new parent, it was scary to leave my baby under someone else's care when I returned to work. But after day 1, I never felt concerned at all. Mimi will love your kid as if they were her own. read more

Mimi is more than just a day care provider. She is a loving, compassionate, caring, thoughtful, passionate soul who loves nothing more than taking care of the little ones that surround her. Her connection with children is amazing and my Nathaniel loves her so much that Mimi is a household name that is cherished by all. Nathaniel has flourished there because Mimi provides the main nutrients every child needs in the younger years: tender love, support, happy energy, consistency, and individual attention. If Nathaniel could have it his way, he would be with Mimi as much as possible. This love that Nathaniel holds for Mimi is a true testament in itself of just how Mimi takes such beautiful care of our little ones. Mimi will always be part of our lives and forefront figure in the life of Nathaniel. read more
