As parents, finding someone you can truly trust with your child is not easy--but Blanca has been amazing. She is extremely caring, patient, and treats the kids with so much love and attention. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. The environment is always clean, safe, and very welcoming. Our daughter feels comfortable and happy there, which gives us so much peace of mind. That feeling alone is priceless. Blanca goes above and beyond, and we're very grateful to have found her. We would absolutely recommend her daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place for their child. read more

Highly Recommend! We absolutely love Blanca and Chelo! This is the first daycare we've ever enrolled our daughter in (since February 2025), and it has been the best decision we've made. From day one, they made us feel at ease with their warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for the children. Since starting here, our daughter has blossomed--she's speaking so much more and is always excited to go to daycare. They've been incredibly accommodating and flexible, especially when it comes to our toddler's medical needs, from applying diaper rash cream to keeping an eye on specific care instructions. They provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks throughout the day, and they also assist with potty training. Our daughter always comes home clean and happy, with a detailed daily checklist of what she ate, how many diaper changes she had, and any items we may need to restock (diapers, clothes, wipes, sunscreen, etc.). Each child has their own cubby with extra clothes, and the attention to hygiene and detail is outstanding. Blanca and Chelo treat the children like their own. Our daughter brings home the most adorable arts and crafts almost every day. They go all out for birthdays and holidays--Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day--you name it. The creativity and care they put into everything is truly special. Their communication is excellent, and the curriculum they follow is structured, educational, and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better daycare experience. Thank you, Blanca and Chelo, for all the love and dedication you show each and every day! read more

Thank you Blanca and Trello for taking care of our son. The care and development of my children is brilliant and I always feel 100% confident they will be well looked after. It's sad that we have to move, but we had a great time with you. Hector/Irvin are Blanca's son(s), they are super nice and very respectful as well. Take care! read more

My second home daycare reflects its name. Our son joined this daycare last year around September 2024 and we have seen a great change in skills, communication and also socially. He really loves this daycare and we consider it his 2nd home. Blanca is the most caring, compassionate and the lovely person. Thank you Blanca and your assistance Chalo for taking such great care towards our son. Second home daycare provides daily reports of each and every child which includes behaviors, activities, meals etc and is the great source of the parents to keep track of their kid's progress and so on. Second home daycare is great, safe for our son and we really appreciate your professionalism, support and daily skills you provides to our son. I would recommend this place to all the parents who are looking for a safe environment, great care towards their kids and a friendly place. Thank you Veronica read more

My 19 month old daughter was dropped by this daycare after 3 weeks because they essentially said that she required more care than they could provide her. She had an allergic reaction to antibiotics her doctor gave her for an ear infection. The antibiotics ended up killing her good bacteria and gave her a yeast infection. The daycare felt that applying the yeast infection cream was too much. They knew I was a single mom and I tried to keep her home as much as I could so that they wouldn't have to deal with the extra diaper changes. They would make comments about she would cry during nap, but didn't give her a chance to get adjusted to the new environment. I would give it zero stars, but their son Hector made it easy to communicate and so that was helpful. Even the son was surprised that his mom, Blanca, didn't want my daughter at the daycare anymore. I wish I knew why they didn't want to watch my daughter anymore. It felt like horrible rejection for a little baby that was just trying to recover from a bad diaper rash. Beyond disappointed and wanting to share so others know that they don't even try to help your kid adjust to the new environment. read more

My son has been going to My Second Home Daycare for a few months now and I wish we had found them sooner! Blanca and her assistant (please forgive me I am bad with names!) are SO pleasant and it really warms my heart to know that my son is in the best care while my husband and I are at work. They genuinely care about the well-being of the children there and help with advancing the children. My son just turned two in October 2022 and he wasn't a fan of going to daycare until he started going here. He used to cry daily when I would drop him off, but now he walks right in as if he owns the place and gets to playing with the other children or reaches out to be held by Blanca. I love the fact that they give a daily report that goes home - tells you what type of mood your child was in that day, how many times they had a wet diaper or a BM, what they ate, what is needed such as more pampers or clothes etc. I also love that they keep everything clean inside and out! I say that I wish we had found them sooner because we are going to be moving in a couple of weeks and we are really going to miss everyone at My Second Home Daycare :( It's been such a pleasure and I wish nothing but the best! Thank you for providing such excellent care to my son Roy! -Delarosa Family read more

Before we had settled for a daycare, i was very concerned about my daughter's transition to a daycare, as my daughter was at home till she was almost 2. But, after finding this place, i was very assured. Ms Blanca and Ms Chelo love the kids and the kids love them back. My 2 yr old daughter loves going to this daycare, so much so that she misses them over the weekend. Ms Chelo always does a cute hair style for the little girls, which we love. Thank you Ms Blanca and Ms Chelo for taking care of these kids. read more

This review is past due. Our daughter was at Second Home Daycare since she was 18 months old. She attended for almost a year but was pulled out when I stopped working. I was so fortunate to find such nurturing and reliable caretakers for our girl. Blanca and Chelo set daily routines that consisted of learning activities, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and more. My daughter learned a lot during her time here. I especially loved all the fun activities they prepared to celebrate holidays throughout the year. They also served a variety of daily home cooked meals. Our daughter was always happy when we went to pick her up. I also appreciated the daily report they provided about her day. My daughter flourished under Blanca's care and formed great relationships. We miss them dearly and hope to visit one of these days. I highly recommend Second Home Daycare. read more

My son attended My Second Home Daycare for almost two years. I was very satisfied with how he was taken care of by Ms. Blanca and her assistant; they looked after him as though he was their own child. He learned about numbers, letters, colors, arts and crafts, basic writing skills and how to socialize with other children. This gave him a great head start for Pre-K and Kindergarten. He was also fed two quality meals each day and took a nap. I also liked the child/adult ratio; there were 5 or 6 children for 2 adults, meaning the little ones were always well supervised compared to larger daycares with 10+ children in a group. I would highly recommend this daycare if you are fortunate enough that Ms. Blanca has a slot available. Thanks again for taking such good care of my boy! read more

Where should I begin? My son started here when he was just 13 months. He is 4 going on 5 and just had his last week there. It was a bittersweet experience. Happy that he is going on to kindergarten and starting that next chapter but, sad because he has been with Blanca and Chelo for so many years. They have always shown so much love and care to not just my son but my family. They have become family and I will be forever grateful for the two them. This was the best place my son could have spent his beginning years. read more

My son has been going to this daycare since he was 2. It has been 3 years and he always has a big smile on him every day when I pick him up. Mrs Blanca & Chelo are the best. They love the children. Every time I come, doesn't matter what time of the day, the house is always clean & the kids are smiling, playing, studying...Oh, and you will be surprised if how much you kid learn at this day care. My son knows letter, number, doing math already and he was able to growth his interest in drawing too. Attached are some of his drawing :) read more

Our experience with Blanca and Chelo caring for our daughter was great! We can tell that our daughter learned so much in the year she was cared for and is well prepared for her transition to Pre-School. They did a great job providing healthy foods and activities for all of the children throughout the day. Blanca provided to us a daily report of what they ate, how long they napped, her BM's and all of the arts and crafts they did each day. They also made holidays and birthdays fun for the kids! Chelo would do our daughters hair which was always fun to see when we picked her up! It was a great environment for my daughter and I can't thank Blanca and Chelo enough for all of their help in caring for our daughter. read more

It has been a couple years since my little boy has been with Blanca, but I can never in my life thank her for all she did for our family. Blanca truly and honestly loves those little ones as if they were her own and it shows by the care she provides. She cooks healthy full blown meals every day, her house is spotless (nothing like you'd think a house with a bunch of little kiddos running around would look like), and she teaches them so many things! My little boy left Blanca to go over to the Pre-k at St. Justin's and more then once I had the teachers stop me to ask about his preschool because he already knew so much of what was being taught. We recently moved down the street and drive past her house every day, and every day Adam announces that he wants to stop by and see Ms. Blanca. One day we will, it just hasn't happened quite yet. It's so hard to leave your baby with just anyone, but Blanca is by far the best choice :) read more

Our son has been a part of the My Second Home family for the last four months. I say family, because that's what it's like for him. He adores Blanca and her helper and is always happy when he sees them! You can just tell they genuinely love him & that is so comforting. We worried about putting him into full time daycare, as he had been home with one of us for his first year. It was the most seamless transition we could have hoped for and I think that's due to the way that Blanca treats him just like another one of her babies. We always get a detailed account of his day (food, mood, nap time, diapers, etc) and he does projects everyday as well. We especially love the stuff that comes home on special occasions (Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc). She's encouraged him so much with his walking, that he's gone from army crawling everywhere to practically running across the room! We feel really lucky that we found them when we did! read more

Blanca is the best!! My 22 month old daughter has been going to My Second Home for about 8 months, and we are so so happy with Blanca and the care she provides. She has a great set up at her home, the minute we walked in we got a really good feeling. Blanca is very patient and loving..she so good with kids!! Every day my daughter brings home these great projects (arts & crafts, pictures she colored, ect) AND singing her ABC's and different songs. It really shows that Blanca used to be a teacher, my daughter is learning so much! I love knowing that she is not just being sat in front of a TV like I've seen at other daycares. She also gives us a daily report of what my daughter eats every day, what kind of mood she was in, how long she napped for, etc. which we love. Her rates are very reasonable, I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

This place is absolutely the best place your child could be...(Next to home). My daughter has been there for a year now and everyday, I am amazed at how much she learns. She does projects on a daily basis and brings what she learns home for us to see. Blanca treats my daughter like her own. It's a wonderful loving environment. I can't say enough about the things she has learned. She surpasses other children her age (and older) with her vocabulary, recognition, shapes, numbers, colors, counting and talking not only in English, but also in Spanish. A loving, learning environment. read more

my son has been going to My Second Home Daycare since he was 1.5 years old. he is now 3 and can read letters, numbers and loves all his friends at daycare. Blanca is so great with all the kids and loves them each unconditionally. Her house is always spotless. I am truly grateful to have someone like her who I can completely trust look after my son while I am at work. It definitely gives my family a peace of mind knowing my son is in great care while I am away. I would definitely recommend this daycare to anyone else who is looking for a daycare in Santa Clara area! read more

I feel blessed to have found Blanca and Chelo. They are by far the best caregivers we have come across. My 1 1/2 year old thrived on her short 4 month stay with these ladies. She was learning colors, shapes, Spanish. She enjoyed dancing and the daily art lessons. Blanca gives a daily report of what the children eat, how long they sleep and BM's which I found very helpful. Chelo would do my daughters hair after nap time which was a nice touch, I loved seeing the different hair styles. We wouldn't have left if it wasn't for relocating. read more

Our daughter, Bella, has been part of My Second Home since she was just 1.5 years old and she always comes home happy with a lots to share about what's happening during the day. She enjoys drawing, signing, dancing and the story-telling circle time. We know she is in capable lovely hands at My Second Home. We feel so grateful to have Blanca and Chelo, two lovely and caring ladies who really enjoys spending time with the little ones, around to take care of her. They genuinely care about the well-being of our daughter. If you are parents who are currently searching for a daycare in which you could trust your little ones with, My Second Home is absolutely the right place. You will see them grow and shine at My Second Home! We are so happy to have both Blanca and Chelo around to take care of both Bella and Raymond! Thank you Blanca and Thank you Chelo! You are the best caregivers we could ever have. read more

My son started at Blanca's over a year ago. He's two and a half now. He loves it! Blanca and Chelo are so sweet. You can tell they really love the kids. They cook breakfast and lunch for them and my son eats so well! I always feel like he's in good hands when I leave. If you want a safe, loving, and fun place for your child - this is it! read more

I am so grateful for Blanca and Chelo. My son went here for almost 2 years. I wish he was still going there, I never wanted to leave Blanca's, she treats the kids as if they were her own. He would tell me I love Blanca all the time. She is so genuinely concerned about the kids too and teaches them in a way that they don't even realize they're learning so much. Now my son is going to a Pre-K and he knows much more than the other kids. He learned to write his name and all the letters and even math. Even after being there for only a couple weeks he would spell out the signs we'd pass on the road or that he would see in the books at home. But more than just the learning, it's how much love Blanca showed all the kids. I trust her completely, it felt like family there. Thank you Blanca. read more

Over a year later and it still holds true, this place has been nothing but awesome for my son. My wife and I are very happy with our son's progress and the overall care that My Second Home provides. With another child on the way, we are looking forward to the day she gets to join her brother here. Blanca and Chelo, thank you both for loving my son. read more

This really is as good as it gets! Blanca and Magdalena are wonderful, the environment is very engaging for the kids, very loving and clean. My daughter (two and a half) loves it and received the best care here since she was 14 months old; we plan to go to Blanca's until kindergarten. I believe we were just very-very lucky to find Blanca! read more

I want to start my review by saying "thank you" to both Blanca and Chelo, two lovely ladies who have been taking care of my son for the past two years. They are no doubt the best caregivers i can come across. Unlikely other large institution day care chain with so many kids and caregivers, who tends to rotate in different age groups, Blanca's place only has a small group of kids and they are there to only focus on these couple little ones. My son would come home everyday with smiles on his little face. I can tell he really enjoyed learning the art, the shapes, the story telling group time and more(snack time :)). They take care my kid like he is part of their family. I won't forget that every morning I would wave goodbye and hug each one of them. That's how close this group is. If you are looking for a loving place for your kids, then this is the place. Believe me you will be in good hands! Again, thank you Blanca and Chelo! read more
