Erika is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! She does so well with my son and I couldn’t be happier as a mother. She not only creates such a loving and free environment but she also teaches all the kids Spanish!

I've worked with Erika for years as my co-teacher in a daycare. She has so much heart and a caring mindset. She will take good care of your children and she is also bilingual which is very helpful for those kids who are interested in learning Spanish. I will definitely recommend her daycare to any parent like me.

Erika cared for our kids for 3 years. She does an excellent job with the children, paying attention to the needs of each one. Her own children are well-behaved and kind, an example of her skill and inner goodness. Erika provides learning and social opportunities with the kids is also an excellent cook! We highly recommend her daycare!

Little Friends Home Daycare is an amazing place! Very clean and welcoming environment. Erika offers many activities and opportunities for learning throughout the day. I like that there is a fenced outdoor play area for the kids, as well as plenty of indoor space for projects and creative play. Erika is passionate about being a daycare provider and kids enjoy spending time with her.

My son loved this daycare. She helped me work on toilet training, and helped me getting him on a nap schedule which was very important in regards to his mood. I loved that she did arts and crafts and kept me updated with his progress everyday.
