My husband and I just moved out to Tracy from San Jose in June of 2016. We had 2 weeks to find a…read moredaycare to fit our commute for our jobs and our hectic corporate schedules. After visiting two other day cares that didn't meet our expectations for our at the time 18 month old and 3 year old son we had become a bit frustrated and discouraged. We were looking for a person that had a great background and years of experience with children, someone who would assist with potty training, and someone that had patience with our two boys that were already fighting at the time. I had found Laura on a Tracy Mom Swap that I had recently joined to connect with other moms in the area. I have always been apart of Mom Swaps in San Jose before, and I feel like I can trust the opinions of other moms so we scheduled a visit. I called her the morning of and asked if we can visit in the next 15-20 minutes because we were on a tight schedule. She gladly accommodated us with such little time and allowed us to bring our little ones and check it out. We walked in during play time and we can see the kids playing with toys. She informed us that everything in the day care was for learning purposes, and that she had 15 years of teaching experience with all ages of children and that was already a good sign. We looked outside in the backyard and it's a bit on the small side but there was room for our boys to ride the toddler tricycles and get some fresh air. She mentioned that she even had chickens so the kids would be getting fresh eggs for breakfast once in a while. During our visit one of the toddlers was starting to get upset with another child and started to yell while she was talking to us and she patiently told him in a calm voice to use his words. He immediately did and the problem was solved. I was surprised because at home this hadn't worked for myself but of course kept in mind that it's always different when another adult and not the parent are involved. The boys started the following week. Laura was reasonably priced and she even provided diapers and wipes! That's a big expense off my plate and was a bonus in my book. It cut my diaper and wipe expense in half. At first my toddler and baby were a bit hesitant on the 1st week as it was all new to them and their first time at day care and away from Mommy. Laura sent me a few pictures and that set me at ease while I was away from them and assured me they were behaving like little angels. After the first week things got much easier, and my oldest was even asking me to take him to day care! Now six months time, my oldest is fully potty trained, and rarely has accidents anymore, and he is determined that he dress himself! My youngest, now 2 is talking so much and even sings along to his ABC's and counts to 10. I definitely have to give Laura the credit for all of that. I would highly recommend Laura to any parent looking for a great place for their little ones to socialize with other children, play, learn & grow.

Laura has provided care for all of my 4 children over the last 19 years. She is trustworthy and…read morereally cares about the needs of our little ones. She is well educated and child care is clearly her passion. From steady routines, balanced meals, and structured learning Tiny Stars constantly exceeds my expectations. So grateful for quality care in my area!
