The passion, dedication, and love for what they do shows right through how they interact with the children in their care. Our first born son came into their care when he was a little over 10 months old. Prior to committing to Fern family daycare, we spoke to Ms Dilu, and she showed us the day care and spoke to us of what they do. She pretty much walk us through what we will be expecting as we left our eldest in their care, which was very reassuring as a first time mom. Our eldest had a few health issues, especially with allergies, but they were very accommodating and caring towards him. They helped him grow into a happy and sweet boy, who likes to play outside and sing. Aside from their care towards our eldest, they also extended their time and care to us, the parents. When I was pregnant with my second, I had to do an earlier c-section than what was planned, and they were there supporting us. Came our second son, he came in to their care when he was a little over 5 months old, and they welcomed him with open arms. Our second, as he learned to walk, he was very curious and likes to explore. Per Ms Dil, he was very independent and curious, so they would keep an extra eye on him. Our second born is quite the handful, but still they regard him as a very inquisitive, active, and happy boy. Our eldest spent his toddler years in their care, and, when he started Pre-K and until now, he would still say "Ms Dilu and Ms Dil will go to his school together." When we would pick up our youngest, prior to him starting preschool, our eldest would like to come down and say hi to Ms Dilu and Ms Dil and give them a hig hug. Now that both our boys are in school, it makes us appreciate all they have done for the boys and our family. Honestly, we don't know how we would have done it without Ms Dilu and Ms Dil. Everyday we are thankful that we found them, and they have played a huge part of our boys and our lives. Their thoughtfulness, love, and care for what they do makes it a bitter sweet goodbye. Our family loves Fern Family Day care, especially Ms Dilu and Ms Dil!

Ahh the idea of day care especially as a new mother was quite stressful to think about! Thankfully,…read morea friend of mine brought all four of her children here so I was at A's bringing my daughter. She was 13mo old when she started but Dilu and ms Dils were amazing they took care of her with so much love and care. She also learned so much while being there like her colors and alphabets and behavioral aspects like sharing and much more. I ended up taking my daughter to a preschool when she was two and half because she was advance for her age and we had a school much closer to our house but I believe her transition to preschool went so smooth because of the seed that was sown at Fern Daycare! We have a new baby on the way and so grateful we have a go to daycare! Also they do alot of arts and crafts of course with lots of help from the teachers :)

We've been going to this daycare since October and have had such a great experience. Ms. LaJoy and…read moreMs. A have been amazing with both of my kids. She provides healthy, nutritious meals using ingredients from the farmers market, which I really appreciate. The environment is very structured but still fun and engaging. My 4-year-old has learned so much in just a few months, including days of the week, counting tracing, all preparing them for Kindergarten. They make learning fun and exciting! Ms. LaJoy also helped with potty training and the progress was so fast. It's clear how much care and effort goes into teaching and caring for the kids here. I feel very comfortable leaving my children in her care and would recommend this daycare to everyone.

We had a wonderful experience with Rimson Family Child Care!…read more I reached out to LaJoy on very short notice for drop-in care, and she was incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating from the start. As a parent, it's always nerve-wracking to leave your child with someone new--but the moment I spoke to her, I felt completely at ease. Her space is warm, safe, and clean, and you can tell she genuinely loves caring for children. My little one was happy and content when we picked him up, which says everything. It was clear he felt secure and well cared for. Thanks to LaJoy, we were able to attend our event with peace of mind, knowing our child was in excellent hands. I would absolutely recommend Rimson Family Child Care to anyone looking for nurturing, trustworthy care--especially if you're in a pinch and need someone who truly understands kids. Thank you again, LaJoy--we're so grateful!

5 stars is not enough for Lilly's daycare. My son has been going to Lilly's for a few months now…read moreand absolutely loves it. When we drop him off every morning he runs into her place with excitement, and when we return to pick him up he doesn't want to leave. Lilly has been in business for almost 30 years and it shows. Her house is a perfect sanctuary for small children. Plenty of play areas indoor and outdoor. She has a garden with fruits and vegetables that she feeds the kids everyday. She also makes everything from scratch and gets most her groceries from the local farmers market. She goes above and beyond for these kids. She concentrates on educational activities and brain games, doesn't allow screen time, and has them outdoors more than half the day. You won't find another daycare like this anywhere, I can guarantee it. Words cannot describe how fortunate my family is to have found Lilly's daycare.

Being that this would be our little ones first time in a daycare we were very cautious and…read more meticulous about the process. We wanted someone who would care for our son not because it was their job but truly loved doing it! We were over the moon when we found Lilly. She has not only checked all the boxes for what we were looking for in a daycare. She has far exceeded them. We just knew from the moment we met her that she would be a perfect fit to care for our little one. He immediately gravitated towards her which is unusual for him when first meeting a new person. After our tour of the daycare our little one showed his approval by blowing kisses to Lilly as we left. My son is beyond ecstatic every morning once he gets to Lilly's house. All the horror stories that we hear of toddlers crying when you leave them at daycares is yet to happen. My son is filled with joy once he arrives and doesn't even think twice about us leaving him. Her home is set up with endless activities for the kids to do like drawing/coloring, basketball, soccer, slides, too many toys to name, books for fun/learning and my favorite part which is the outdoor space. Most of the time, the kids are outside getting fresh air and being active which I believe is so important for them versus being indoors unless the weather permits it. There are so many things that I could list which makes Lilly's daycare a wonderful second home for our little one. She is nurturing, caring, she makes homemade organic cooked meals which saves us so much time, her home is always clean/hygienic, hands on learning/Montessori inspired, pretend play (e.g building forts) and no screen time is allowed. Her daycare is a perfect home away from home for my little one. If you're lucky as us to have your little one cared by Lilly you'll know what I mean when I say, "We are so grateful to have found her and feel like we've hit the jackpot!" :)

Marla is responsive, flexible, and I love the way they support the kids to share and treat each other kindly.

Our Place truly does live up to its name…read more At seven months, my daughter had her first seizure. An ambulance arrived at her first daycare (not Our Place) while my wife and I rushed to the hospital from our respective jobs. This exact scene would happen twice more before we were understandably asked to leave. After three weeks, zero vacation or sick days left between us, and a half dozen daycares having turned us down, that's when Our Place became not only a lifeline, but an integral part of our daughter's life and development. We were referred by a coworker whose daughter had gone through Our Place and whose son was currently attending. Right away, the people that ran the daycare developed a bond with our daughter--one that lasted for nearly two years and one that made it beyond difficult for us and our daughter to leave when it was time to start preschool. When choosing childcare, the most vital, crucial aspect for my wife and I (and I assume most parents out there) is that we feel like we can wholly trust the person(s) who is caring for our child. We trust Our Place. Our daughter's condition -officially called complex breath-holding spells--meant when she became upset or was physically hurt (bumped her head, dropped a toy on her foot, etc.), she would hold her breath until she passed out and then would go into a seizure. Her condition forced my wife and I to rebalance how we disciplined her. Despite this handcuff, Our Place did an amazing job with finding that balance. Our daughter never had a seizure while there. Instead, Our Place cultivated our daughter's passion for reading and learning. My daughter loves books, and Our Place has a small library with an assortment that always kept her interested. Often, I would come to pick her up and find her reading. Our Place also provided a variety of arts and crafts projects that my daughter thoroughly enjoyed. Her favorite was creating things for every letter of the alphabet. A green "A" flipped on its side with teeth for "alligator", a "T" with leaves on top for "tree", and so on. Our daughter would come home with a new creation and we would hang it up on our wall. She was so proud of her work that every time anyone would come over, she would excitedly show that person her wall and name off each letter and corresponding word. If there is one drawback, it is that the daycare is small--the maximum number of kids is six. So, interaction and the learning that comes from being a part of a large class of kids is limited, though this is also a huge positive as there is less exposure to sickness and each child is given a lot more attention. Our Place provides home-cooked meals (ahhh, those days where I would drop my daughter off to the mouthwatering smell of banana pancakes...); a clean, safe environment (including outdoor space to play); a variety of activities; and caregivers that feel like family. Without question, Our Place did become "ours." We owe a tremendous amount to Our Place for helping us raise our daughter into the little young lady she is today and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone in South Bay in need of childcare.

We have used Our Place as our full time daycare since 2011. Both my daughter and son started when…read morethey were about 5 months old and I'm very happy with the care they've received. This is an in-home daycare which I love because I think they provide more personal and loving attention to each child than the daycare facilities I toured. It's a fun and warm environment where the kids have access to lots of toys, books and an outdoor play area. For infants they provide a sheet detailing the times and quantity of milk/formula consumed that day as well as time and length of nap(s) which gave me peace of mind and helped me stay on the same schedule during the weekend. They provide breakfast and lunch for toddlers and older children which is so convenient. Joann, the owner, has 20 years of childcare experience, is extremely knowledgeable and hands on with the children. She loves each child as if he/she was her own, is fun loving but also uses good judgement to discipline them fairly to ensure the children play safely and treat each other nicely. The assistants who work there are also patient and love to have fun with the kids. Half the time my son doesn't say bye to me at drop off because he loves going to Our Place! I highly recommend this place and consider it more as a second home to my kids rather than a daycare.

Mariel has helped care for our daughter from 3 months to nearly 3 years old, and she's been an…read moreincredible--and truly irreplaceable--part of our lives. She's thoughtful, endlessly patient, and reliable--always creating a calm, engaging environment with meaningful activities and consistent care. We trust her completely and continue to feel so supported as first-time parents. As a mom herself, with prior teaching experience and specialized training, she understands kids deeply and strikes a great balance of structure, creativity, and kindness. Now that our daughter is starting school, there's no question--we'll go to Mariel first when we need care again, and we know we will. If you're looking for somewhere your child will be truly cared for, supported, and encouraged as they grow, look no further--you've found it.

Mariel at Bay Buddies has been so kind and great. From the moment I stepped into the daycare for a…read moretour, I noticed just how clean and baby friendly the space was from the main play area to the outdoor backyard that has a great children's play set. Mariel was very thorough in explaining to us the daily routine for the babies and all the things she does to keep them safe. The tuition price is very fair especially for the flexibility of the time and dates that our daughter attends and that was something that was very hard to find at other preschools/daycares. We feel very good about sending our daughter here, knowing that she is being cared for with love and thoughtfulness. Mariel's prior background in teaching is also a huge plus!
