I was nervous about my three-year old daughter attending daycare. I’m glad I made the choice because after the first day I was a hundred percent comfortable with her being in the care of Loving Day Care. Highly Recommended! Loving Care Daycare (Mrs. Renee) provides a high quality, clean, nurturing, educational, fun, safe and secure home care environment. At the time of national crisis (the pandemic), LCD stayed in readiness to employ all required steps to remain secure and safe. My three-year-old daughter was already counting to ten, saying her alphabet, and recognizing colors when she joined LCD. Within a year of practicing, she was able to do the same in Spanish, French, and Sign language. Mrs. Renee also advanced her to reading, math, and using other words in the three languages, celebrated culture and historical figures and events, engaged in science and weather projects, explored gardening, encouraged nutrition and wellness through eating healthy foods, meditation, exercise, and yoga, captured weekly moments of creative arts like drawing, painting and design projects, explored music through instruments and dance, and more. All learning was visible because every day my daughter incorporated it all at home. I have shared so many videos and pictures with family and friends of her doing all these things over the past two years. She asks about Mrs. Renee and Mr. T still today. We were extremely pleased with Mrs. Renee’s commitment to giving her the foundation needed for kindergarten (K-5), and very proud of her on-the-spot acceptance to attend a private school. FOREVER GRATEFUL!

My son has been going to Loving Care Daycare since 2018 (going on 5 years in a few months). I first met with Ms. Renee for a tour; her knowledge and experience made me feel comfortable right away. I was more than impressed with her program; offering teaching of other languages, sight words, shapes, the alphabet, numbers, and how to read just to name a few. She really works hard to keep the kids occupied! Being a first time mom communication was very important to me. Ms. Renee goes above and beyond with communication and is very informative. She sends messages, pictures, and articles related to education and health. My son LOVES this daycare, he just started Kindergarten and is already ahead of the class with his learning and I know it’s because of the love & care he received with Ms. Renee. Loving Care Daycare- as far as our experiences - is just fantastic!

How nervous was I as a first-time, over-protective mother, leaving my month 10-month old baby girl in the care of someone that I just met? Let’s just say, I thought it was going to be the most frightening experience ever. Yet, with the assistance, assurance, transparency and candor of Ms. Renee, our transition into daycare was simple, easy, delicate, and exciting. It turned out to be the best decision for my mental sanity and my child’s social, emotional and educational development. With that, here is my review of Loving Care Daycare: Communication Ms. Renee’s communication style is top-notched, efficient, and consistent. She sends a daily text message report of the child’s day detailing meals served and eaten, nap duration times, instruction given and activities completed coupled with pictures and videos for visuals. Additionally, Ms. Renee provides an individualized verbal review of the child’s day during pick up. During drop off, Renee is sure to ask about how the baby’s night before went which is helpful because it transitions the baby from me to her promoting a synchronous vibe. Meals I am pleased with the meals that are served. Breakfast, lunch and snacks provided are nutritious and fulfilling, healthy and baby/toddler friendly. The children do not eat the same meals every day and there are often foods that surprise me such as the time my child had chicken noodle soup or blueberries, yet I had no idea she enjoyed eating it. Additionally, milk and water are provided throughout the day as needed. Activities/Events Ms. Renee has a sincere interest in caring for children and it seems that every day there’s something new that they’re engaging in. The day is filled with various forms of creative arts including music, shapes, Spanish immersion, art, play, dance, movement, and interaction which promotes their motor skills, tactile and emotional development and comprehension. My child now also does sign language and says a few words and this is all done without TVs, iPads, and tablets. Storytime and books about people of multicultural backgrounds valuing a diverse culture while promoting literacy is displayed throughout the daycare. Remarkable Moments What is so impressive is when I drop my child off in the morning and she sees Ms. Renee, she instantly starts to smile which continuously reinforces my thoughts that my kid truly enjoys being at this daycare where she is loved, cared for and well taken care of. An added bonus is Mr. T who always has a positive, uplifting, friendly vibe and definitely is an asset to the team. There are also surprises like for my child’s birthday, Ms. Renee hosted a whole birthday party which included cake, singing, pictures, videos and the most adorable one-year old birthday outfit! Additionally, there are thoughtful efforts made to make the children most comfortable in the daycare such as providing them with nice, fluffy slippers. Quality over Quantity Care Having my child in a small daycare setting was essential for me because it allows her to have a close interface and connection with Ms. Renee while still developing her social skills by interacting with other children along the way. Ms. Renee knows each child from head to toe, doesn’t miss a thing and is always open to trying the best techniques for the child and the daycare as a whole. Special Activity I don’t want to give away all of Ms. Renee’s secrets and activities but I must speak on one incredible experience. There was a time in which the students had an Artist Day filled with all things painting. The children were provided with paint, brushes, color pallets, paint smocks and a blank canvas. What made this activity even more enriched is Ms. Renee had classical jazz music playing in the background. The kids were so well engaged and immersed in painting their portraits despite being so young and having a short attention span. I was able to get a visual of this phenomenon from a video taken by Ms. Renee and each time I show my kid this video, she watches it with such amusement! There is even outdoor space where the children can get fresh air, explore, engage in water (during summer) and imaginative play in a structured format. All in all, I am completely thrilled with my choice in enrolling my child in Loving Care Daycare. What’s interesting is, in the beginning, Ms. Renee would often say ‘there will be a day that you come pick up the baby and she will want to stay here at daycare and not go home’ and 15 months in, that’s exactly what happened LOL! My child always leaves daycare happy, bouncy, well-fed and clean. The daycare is sterile, bright, vibrant and educational. The team we have built to support my child is epic and impressive. Ms. Renee continues to create and maintain an open, loving, caring, enriched and structured environment for the daycare that allows me to trust her completely with the care of my pride and joy.
