I can't say enough good things about Sweet Sunshine Daycare and the pivotal role it has played in…read morethe growth and happiness of our two daughters. Our oldest joined at 16 months, and our youngest started at just 6 months. Both thrived under the attentive care of Eliana and her dedicated team, who feel like an extension of our family, treating our children with sincere affection and kindness. Sweet Sunshine is conveniently located just off the 101, nestled against Corte Madera Town Park. The daycare offers great flexibility, with drop-off as early as 7:30am and pick-up as late as 5:30pm. Each day begins and ends with a genuine sense of warmth, as Eliana, Vicky, or Sandra are always there to greet you, making even hectic mornings feel manageable. I always leave with peace of mind, knowing the girls are in a stimulating environment filled with learning, yoga, soccer, music, art, and imaginative play. The daycare is impeccably clean, and the staff takes every measure to keep the children healthy - something we especially valued during the pandemic. Eliana is a magician in the kitchen, preparing wholesome, nutrient-packed flavorful meals the kids genuinely love: oatmeal with fruits and eggs and yogurt, chicken fried rice with veggies, pasta with beef and broccoli, and lentils, which have somehow become a favorite! The transition to solid foods for our youngest was seamless thanks to Eliana's guidance. On more than one occasion, we joked that Sweet Sunshine was the only place she would eat her vegetables! Eliana's generosity shines through, as she often sends home containers full of delicious food for long weekends or holidays. The sense of community at Sweet Sunshine is special. We've built lasting friendships with other families, even after their children graduated. There's a shared sense of gratitude, knowing our kids are being cared for with compassion, and a rich foundational curriculum that includes language (English/Spanish/Portuguese), numbers, motor skills, music, and art class led by Teacher Angela - her themed projects (e.g., animals, plants, seasons, occupations, cultures) engage the children while stimulating their imaginations and self expression. The backyard play area is often buzzing with music, dancing, and free play, ensuring the kids are not only learning but also getting plenty of exercise and building strong friendships and having fun together. Eliana's creativity goes beyond the curriculum, with her elaborate holiday decorations and nearly weekly celebrations. The birthdays are especially magical, filled with singing, dancing, dress-up, thoughtful gifts, and balloons. She captures these moments beautifully, often sending parents hundreds of candid photos that offer a window into the children's world of wonder. The Halloween and Winter Holiday parties are family favorites, and there are countless opportunities to experience the joy and warmth of Sweet Sunshine's inclusive and welcoming culture. After four incredible years, it's hard to express just how much Sweet Sunshine has meant to our family. Eliana and her team have created a loving sanctuary where our girls have flourished. I wholeheartedly recommend Sweet Sunshine Daycare to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching, and joyful environment for their children. We are forever grateful for the experience!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Kiddie Cloud Daycare. Ninne (the owner), Bea and JP…read moreare all such wonderful caregivers. They really celebrate children, garner a place for learning and play, and have created a wonderful community for parents and children. Our youngest daughter has been attending for almost a year (she started when she was 1 years old). Our daughter loves going to daycare each day and talks about her daycare friends almost daily. Ninne has created an extremely safe and fun place for the kids. Our daughter has learned so much from the program (please and thank you, language skills, play skills, etc). The facilities are always very clean and has a beautiful outdoor play area. Kiddie Cloud has great communication with me as a parent and has even very graciously worked with my schedule to provide the care that we need. I highly recommend sending your child here. We have loved everything about our experience!

Her attention to detail and care has continued to show everyday as we now have two boys at Little Heaven. She always greets us with a smile, she communicates so well, and I have no doubt our boys are so well cared for. She expects a lot from her staff and the place is spotless. She is so organized and has so many different crafts, activities and teachers come in to give our kids a well-rounded day. I feel so comfortable dropping my boys off each day and am so thankful for what a kind person she is and what a professional business she runs. Could not recommend Aline and Little Heaven more!

I just love this warm family business. Maria, her team of Adelina, Matilda (her retired husband…read moreMike) and Irma have quickly become family to us. Maria spends time with each of her families daily and sometimes invites us in to chat or go in the backyard to see him do tummy time and interact. My son started at 6 months and smiles at the team every morning. He has been going there since April and already says mom, dad, dog and cat at 10 months old! He is a bubbly little extrovert and is a happy guy there -- takes great naps under the team's supervision and loves to observe the older kids, which I think is great for his social-emotional development. Also, the daycare is impeccably clean and beautiful. There is so much care put into the business - were so lucky to have found Maria and team!

They are all very knowledgeable about caring for young children and babies. Maria is incredibly professional and personable. I have so enjoyed all of my interactions with her.

The inside is always clean and filled with toys that excite the kids. Meals and snacks are provided and Maria is very particular about only serving the best organic foods to the kids. I have been incredibly happy with my experience at Cuddletime. Maria helped to make these early years of my daughter's life full and happy.

Miss Ann has created a safe and nurturing environment that gives each child the structure and predictability they need. I appreciated that she has a dedicated area for babies, and that her nap schedule works well for both babies with 2-3 naps and toddlers with one nap. My oldest also had a wonderful experience and both kids transitioned seamlessly to preschool after graduating from LMDC. We live in Mill Valley and it was worth the daily trip over the hill for 4 years! We will always have a special place in our hearts for Miss Ann and LMDC.

Miss Ann's experience is priceless. She's always giving us tips to support our daughter's development. LMDC has provided our Olympia with all the tools to become a curious, smart and loving little girl. We know she's ready to rock at preschool after 2 years thriving at LMDC. She can count, recognize colors and shapes, and cleans up after playing with her toys. Every night Olympia gives thanks for her teachers and her daycare friends. Our top priority when we were looking for daycare was to find a place where Olympia would feel loved, respected and challenged and LMDC definitely was and is that! The Medina Family, October 2022

We sent our two year old to Let's Play for about 8 months and it was an extremely positive…read moreexperience. Ms. Bella and her staff are very attentive to the children's social and emotional needs. Bella puts a lot of effort and imagination into creating daily activities for children to take part in. It was easy to see from pick ups and drop offs how happy the children were to be there and how a ease other parents were in leaving their kids for the day. Another plus of Let's Play is how affordable it is, especially because Ms. Bella provides diapers for the children and prepares them lunch. You could pay more at other daycares, but I don't know that your return, at least for a 2 year old, would be comparable. The only reason we stopped sending our daughter to Let's Play is because we had the unique opportunity to send her to a language immersion program elsewhere. To reiterate, we really really liked Let's Play and we highly recommend it to folks with a young child.
