We are so grateful for the time our son had at Little Doves! Glenda was truly wonderful to our son. She takes care of the kids like they are her own, and our son has the best relationship with her – he wouldn’t want to leave when we’d come pick him up! She still checks in with us to see how he’s doing in his new preschool. She cooks the kids amazing lunches (often what she’ll be eating herself for dinner) and has sent us home with some for ourselves at times too. The care is free play-based, and she also integrates music time, art, and daily walks/outside time (weather permitting). Glenda is very communicative and trustworthy. As new parents, she also helped us learn the ropes/know how to think about or approach things as our son has grown. Our son had a longer adjustment to daycare than most kids and Glenda was patient in working with us and him to get through it. Glenda is also connected to the community and has provided recommendations for weekend babysitters, kids hair cut spots, etc. for us or the other parents she’s worked with. Glenda provides a safe, clean, and loving environment for the kids in her care - and peace of mind to us parents!

We were with this daycare for about 6 months, but unfortunately it was not a good fit. My daughter, who was 5 months at the start, cried a lot during the day and I felt like Glenda was struggling to handle it with the other babies in her care which in turn made me reluctant to leave her there for longer than a half day. I do think the temperament of your baby matters in this care situation, and may not be a good fit for higher needs babies. There were other issues for us as well, but that was the biggest one. We switched care providers, and have not had the same issues. I will say that I always felt my daughter was safe, and Glenda did cook meals for the babies that were very good. The other babies at the daycare seemed happy. But in the end, those did not outweigh the negatives for us.

We just moved out of the Bay Area and one of the hardest parts of leaving was losing our family and my son's close relationship with Glenda. Little Doves Daycare had been such a good experience and in many ways was more akin to a nanny share than a daycare. It’s a really nice small home environment that my son started in at 12 weeks old and continued for a full year. Glenda is so loving and kind with him, and he absolutely LOVED it there. He received a ton of attention from her and the opportunity to free play with other babies in a safe and clean environment. Weather permitting they go on daily walks in the quad stroller to the local park, do arts and crafts, storytime, and get to hear her speak both English and Spanish. She cooks lunch for the kids daily; my little guy became such a good eater and tried so many different foods too. She also helped us get him on a schedule which made life so much more manageable at home. She’s also just a really sweet person who cares a ton about the kids and us as a family. On weeks where she knows we’ve been swamped she’s sent us home with food for dinner. She’s helped us get a tire repaired when we had a flat. And she even took my son to see Santa (with our blessing of course) to get some hilarious pictures. Glenda is always very communicative with us and we had a great experience with her overall. We wished so much we could take her with us on our move!

Our daughter has attended Little Doves since starting daycare at 8 months old, and we're so grateful to have found Glenda. Little Doves is a small setting, and we know our daughter is getting individualized, loving care while also getting to interact with other children. Glenda provides nourishing meals and ensures the children have an enriched and happy environment. As a first-time parent and someone prone to anxiety, I especially appreciate how Glenda sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day so we know how our daughter is doing. She's very proactive and it's extremely easy to get in touch with her--always so important when a young baby is involved! Glenda has been a really valuable partner and truly a member of our family. I know our daughter is in safe, caring hands whenever she's with Glenda and I have total confidence that she is loved--what all parents want most!

We love Glenda and Little Doves Daycare! Our son started there at 7 mos and initially had some separation anxiety but Glenda worked patiently through that with us and now he loves daycare. Glenda is loving and intuitive with the kids and incredibly organized and responsive/communicative with the parents. Working with her really feels like teamwork. Her home is spotlessly clean and safe for babies to roam around, explore, and develop. She has a great selection of toys that she cleans and rotates regularly so the kids don’t get bored. Once they’re eating solids she cooks fresh and delicious food for the kids. She also takes them for walks in her quad stroller. We feel so lucky to have found Glenda and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and happy place for their baby!

We were so lucky to have had Glenda reach out to us on Nextdoor when we were scrambling to find a daycare before I had to return to work from maternity leave. We knew we wanted our son to go to Little Doves right after our interview and I prayed she would have a spot open up as planned. Glenda's home is clean and tidy, she provides tasty home cooked meals, daily walks and outside time, reads to them and plays music. I was so relieved when everything fell into place and we were able to enroll our son. He absolutely loved being there with Glenda and his little friends. She loves the kids like her own and always kept us in the loop with what was going on throughout the day, and a lot of times with pictures. Unfortunately, when the pandemic hit, we had to give up our spot at Little Doves. Had that not have happened, our son would have been with Glenda until preschool. We still keep in touch and we miss seeing her everyday. If you're looking for a daycare provider, you'd be so lucky to get a spot with Glenda.

We are so happy that we found Glenda’s Little Doves daycare. As first time parents looking for childcare during the pandemic, we were very nervous about finding a situation that made us feel comfortable when I went back to work after maternity leave. During the interview process, Glenda went out of her way not only to answer all of our questions, but also to give us advice about what to look for and how to do our homework on childcare providers in general. We could tell that she wanted the best for our daughter regardless of our decision. Our impression of Glenda was confirmed by glowing reviews when we spoke with her references, and we enrolled our daughter to start at Little Doves at the beginning of 2021 when she was five months old. Glenda is easy to communicate with, which definitely helped us navigate the transition. Over the past couple of months, our daughter has fallen in love with Glenda. It feels so good to see her break out into a giant smile when we drop her off in the morning, and see her throw her arms around Glenda’s neck with glee. At the same time, we know that Glenda returns the affection and genuinely cares for our daughter. Glenda provides a safe, stimulating, and loving environment for the children she cares for. She takes them on walks, reads them stories, plays music for them, and speaks to them in Spanish. We are so grateful to have Glenda as our childcare provider.

Glenda’s Little Doves daycare is wonderful place for young children! Our son attended Glenda's Little Doves daycare for 2 years and he really loved being there. Glenda creates a warm and loving environment for the kids and we quickly felt that she became an extension of our family. She takes the kids out on walks, organizes age-appropriate activities like art and music, and makes the kids delicious food—she’s much more successful at getting our son to eat vegetables than we are! We found Glenda to be very trustworthy and communicative, and she was diligent about keeping the space clean and safe. When my son was with Glenda, I knew he was happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Little Doves Daycare!

Little Doves Daycare is a dream! My son attended her daycare for ~2 years (starting at age 4mo), and now my daughter (12mo) is attending as well. Glenda is incredibly warm and loving. Her home is clean, safe, and well-kept. She has an incredible variety of toys/books/activities for all developmental stages. She cooks lunch for the kids every day (and often sends home leftovers for the parents as well!) and provides snacks. She takes the kids for walks in her quad stroller and takes them to the local park. She also arranged for a music teacher to come once a week when my son was attending. She is fantastic at getting little ones on a schedule, consolidating naps, etc, which has made life so much easier for us at home. Glenda has become an extended family member. My son still asks to go see her and I think is pretty jealous that his little sister gets to see her every day. I can tell my daughter loves Glenda - she gets the biggest smile on her face when she sees her and spends the first 5-10 minutes of her day giving her hugs. I cannot recommend Glenda and her daycare enough!

We were beyond fortunate to meet Glenda and have her care for our two children over the course of 3.5 years. She felt like a partner in raising and taking care of our kids. Glenda is incredibly warm and loving, caring for the babies and children in her care as if they are her own. My children loved being with her and still ask about her regularly. She's highly communicative and would provide updates each day. Her home is immaculately clean with an ample amount of age appropriate toys and books that she regularly rotates as the children age. She exposes them to music and regularly creates art with the kids. Additionally she ensures they are well feed with home cooked meals and yummy snacks. Both of my children flourished in her care. If we didn't move out of the area we would still be with Glenda today until both kids entered preschool.
