Parent Reviews
I’ve heard good things about Mrs.Darlene so I had to go see for myself. She’s absolutely the best just as I’ve been told. My 3 year old son loves her and I’m so happy we went with the choice of having her care for him. Since Day 1 she’s been very informative and caring my son is improving day by day with her services.
Darlene’s daycare has been trusted in my family for years and me being a first time mom feel nothing but ease knowing my baby will be in the care of miss Darlene and her team while I’m back working. This daycare help your kids grow in so many areas & help prepare for school. I’m witness to how smart and vocal Darlene daycare kids are!
Darlene’s Home Daycare has been the best for my baby I’m a first time mom and I am very blessed to be able to leave my baby and not worry!! Thank you so much to everyone at Darlene’s home daycare for welcoming my child and keeping him in great hands 😊
First time mom and I am beyond grateful that I’ve found the perfect match with this daycare. Darlene and the staff are extremely nurturing and supportive in every aspect. My son has been there for a short time (as I am just returning to work from leave) but I know he is in a safe space and being cared for like I would. Highly recommended.
Darlene’s daycare was introduced to my family when my oldest, who is now 4, was only 6 months. Our very first encounter is something I’ll never forget and always appreciate. Though it was conducted as a professional interview, Ms Darlene was her usual warm and welcoming self and my daughter took to her immediately, as well as the rest of the staff. Being a first time parent I was leery about at home daycares, being that my main concern was would the staff be willing to educate on the same scale as a traditional daycare. Since my daughter has been enrolled at Ms Darlene’s my expectations have been exceeded. She is now reading, writing and tackling basic math! There’s never a moment where they’re not learning. The children are completely engulfed in a learning environment as soon as they walk in. From books being available on almost every wall, to posters covering colors, numbers, shapes, sign language, and much more. However, the teaching does not stop at just academics. The children are also taught daily about safety and proper etiquette for when they’re in public settings and even at home. What is learned at school isn’t left at school, without a doubt Ms Darlene encourages them to carry those manners everywhere. I now have a one-year enrolled who has been under her care since he was 3 months and again Ms Darlene and the amazing staff have done an incredible job with honing his cognitive snd gross motor skills. To say Darlene’s Daycare is a blessing to our family is an understatement. Hands down the best of the best.
Paris. Thank you tremendously 🥰🥰
Darlene’s Daycare is Top Notched! From her sweet & nurturing spirit, her amazing staff, great organizational skills, academic and fundamental teachings and the fact that she’s passionate about what she and her staff does (along with the service they provide) makes Darlene’s Daycare the Crème de la Crème of child care providers. My daughter attended Darlene’s Daycare before she started kindergarten and has been thriving socially and academically ever since. She is now 18. Thank you Ms. Darlene and Staff!
My child attended day-care/ Pre-K at Darlene’s Day Care and she flourished! She is now in 2nd grade and continues to flourish, as she has been on the Honor Roll all school year! Darlene’s Day Care provided the quality education and life-skills that my child needed and sustains as she continues to grow, learn and adventure in elementary school. Darlene’s Daycare is key for hands -on, age appropriate courses such as: (but not limited to: Language Arts, Sensory Skills. Science, Dramatic Play, Cooking, Reading, Math, Creative Art and an immeasurable amount of Life Skills! Darlene’s Day Care was the best choice that I made for my toddler and I’m sure, will be the best decision you will make for yours!
I would trust Darlene Johnson with my children’s very lives. Why can I say this? Because I did when Darlene was 18! My 3 children are now in their 40s, and they still love Darlene. She was their third parent. Anthony M. Lavely Minneapolis MN
Thank you Anthony Lavely for those beautiful words.
Darlene and her staff are beyond great childcare providers! With over 40 years in the business and an impressive track record of success. I know my children are being set up for success and most importantly they will be safe.
Thank you Mabel
Darlene is an excellent provider. She has provided childcare for my children and they have excelled greatly in their careers. The atmosphere is pleasant and cheerful. She also honors God which I greatly admire. She loves her children and her staff works well with her. You will be pleased signing your children with Darlene’s Daycare. ❤️❤️
Mrs. Darlene has been our family’s childcare provider since 2016. Back then my daughter was only 2 years old when she first started. I was so amazed at how much she had learned and developed at such a young age. By the time she started kindergarten, there was nothing her teacher could have taught her that she did not already learned from Darlene’s daycare. Now I am seeing the same from my youngest son who’s 3 years old. He has learned so much from 123s, ABCs, shapes, colors, new vocabulary, spelling his name, learning his birthday, learning my cell phone number and his favorite “police number 911”. This is not your average daycare! Mrs. Darlene and staff are loving, nurturing and so attentive to all the children. They are truly invested into providing a safe, fun and learning environment. We love Mrs. Darlene, Ms. Michelle and all other staff members. They have truly become our family. ❤️
Darlene’s Daycare provides the best care for children. The staff is very nurturing and they take great care of the children. My son still requests to visit when he has days off of school. He recently visited for his spring break. Thanks Darlene for providing quality childcare!
Darlene’s Daycare has been a blessing to many homes including my own. From her loving heart, to the patience she provides to children. Mrs. Darlene and her staff provides a clean, educational, safe, and fun learning environment.
Miss Darlene has been the most attentive and the best educator for my daughter . Within a few months of my daughter attending her daycare her vocabulary improved tremendously , she was potty trained within a few months before her second birthday, knows her abcs, colors , and her 123s. Every morning we are greeted with a smile and my favorite greeting “ good morning beautiful” . The education of school and as well as the Bible has helped my daughter grow and flourish. I am forever grateful and look forward to continuing my daughters education and after school care eventually when she begins public school .
Thank you Ms. Catherine, Ms Erin
