Parent Reviews
Shima (the owner) was our babysitter for over two years, starting from the moment our twin boys came home from the NICU until they were about 2.5 years old and started daycare. I truly could not be happier with her care. Shima is an educated nurse, which gave us incredible peace of mind, but beyond that, she is exceptionally kind, patient, and genuinely caring with children of all ages. Safety always comes first for her, and I fully trusted her with our babies during a very sensitive time in their lives. Even now, she continues to care for our kids on school-closure days, and they absolutely love spending time with her. They always have the best time, and I know they are in safe, loving hands. Shima is the real deal. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable, and professional care for their loved ones.
We are very happy with this daycare. The staff are kind, patient, and truly care about the children. Since my son started here, we’ve seen positive changes in his behavior and development. He feels comfortable and happy every day. The environment is clean, safe, and well organized. Communication with parents is clear and professional, which gives us peace of mind. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their child.
We’ve been sending our toddler to this home daycare and we’ve been very satisfied with the care and service provided. They’ve thoughtfully set up the basement as a dedicated kids’ space, equipped with lots of toys, play equipment, and plenty of child-sized seats and chairs, our son always has something engaging to do. Shima is incredibly enthusiastic, attentive, and genuinely caring. Knowing she is a nurse also gives us extra peace of mind when it comes to safety, hygiene, and overall well-being. We feel comfortable and confident leaving our child here, and it’s clear he feels happy and secure in this environment. Highly recommended for families looking for a warm, safe, and welcoming home daycare.
