Parent Reviews
My daughter is thriving at Carmen's Pride & Joy - she practically jumps out of our arms when she arrives each morning and loves spending the day with her teachers and friends. Ms. Carmen is thoughtful and thorough - her early education curriculum and activities are engaging and varied, and you can tell she cares deeply for the children in her program. Not only is my daughter having a ton of fun, she's learning so much. We're grateful to have this wonderful daycare in the neighborhood.
We found Carmen's Pride and Joy after our long-term daycare suddenly closed. She was so warm and welcoming and made a difficult transition very smooth. The caregivers there are awesome - supportive and kind and teach all kinds of skills. Our littlest has grown so much and loves going there everyday. They take lots of day trips to RFK, the library (for story time) and update families on all through the app Brightwheel. Carmen's is a treasure!
Our child has been with Carmen's Pride and Joy since he was 6 months old. CPJ quickly went from being a daycare to feeling like family. There is no one I trust more to take care of our child. I love the personal feel of CPJ —they keep us updated every day with lots of videos and photos. They've guided our child seamlessly through milestones like moving from a crib to a cot, from bottles to cups, and their care and contentiousness really shows. I would recommend CPJ to anyone looking for a safe, loving childcare environment.
I can't say enough good things about Carmen's. My two-year-old daughter has been there for about eight months. They have been like family and such a light during this difficult year. The teachers are so loving and thoughtful. My daughter loves them and loves the other kids. I really love the small group setting where my daughter, an only child, can play with and learn from older and younger kids. I'm also a fan of the app with updates throughout the day. It's great to see snippets of the activities and fun they have.
My daughter has attended Ms.Carmen's for almost a year. It has been a great environment for her. They have provided a very loving and caring environment for the children and we've been very happy with our experience.
