Parent Reviews
I am thrilled to write a glowing review for In Good Hands Daycare run by Maria Potehina. Our experience with this daycare has been nothing short of exceptional. Our 16-month-old daughter has been attending In Good Hands for the past four months, starting in March 2023, and we couldn't be happier with the care she has received. Transitioning from having a nanny to daycare was initially challenging for me, but Maria and her family, who assist her in running the daycare, were incredibly supportive, caring, and patient throughout the entire process. They understood the difficulties I faced and provided me with the reassurance and guidance I needed. It was evident that their concern extended not only to our daughter but to me as well. They truly made me feel like part of their daycare family. The level of attention and personalized care that our daughter receives at In Good Hands is remarkable. Maria and her team take the time to listen to each family's specific needs and tailor their care accordingly. It is evident that they treat every child as if they were their own. Whenever I drop off or pick up my daughter, I can see the happiness on the other children's faces and witness the fun they are having at daycare. One aspect that drew us to In Good Hands was the enriching environment they provide. The daycare is always clean, safe, and equipped with fantastic Montessori toys. I am amazed at how well they maintain cleanliness while still giving utmost care to the children. Additionally, they prioritize outdoor activities, ensuring that the children spend ample time outside, protected from the sun. Our daughter often brings home beautiful art activities that she has created at daycare, which we proudly display in our house. Another reason we are delighted with In Good Hands is their commitment to providing organic food. Knowing that our daughter receives nourishing and delicious snacks and meals gives us peace of mind. It is evident that they prioritize the overall well-being of the children in their care. Furthermore, the personalized care our daughter receives at In Good Hands has been invaluable. They invested a lot of time and effort into teaching her to sleep on her own without needing to be rocked or soothed by someone else. When she finally achieved this milestone, they celebrated alongside us. They also guided us through the challenging transition from two naps to one, understanding that there were times when our daughter needed either one or two naps. Their flexibility and understanding were truly commendable. The attention to detail at In Good Hands is unparalleled. They go above and beyond to celebrate families, hosting a party to commemorate Mother's Day and presenting us with heartfelt gifts for Father's Day. These gestures truly demonstrate their commitment to creating a warm and inclusive environment for both children and parents. It saddens us that we will be moving and cannot continue our journey with In Good Hands. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had this opportunity, and we cannot recommend them enough to anyone considering daycare options. Maria and her staff are exceptional, and we would be more than happy to speak to anyone who is interested in In Good Hands.
I have been a customer for the last five years. My daughter, who moved on to pre-k, still gets excited when she gets to pick her baby brother up and see Mrs. Maria. Maria runs this family-owned daycare with a lot of love and attention to detail. Expect your child to be (i) stimulated by arts, crafts, projects and fun play; (ii) well fed; and most importantly, (iii) loved. Thanks to Maria, I can keep up with my professional life and be at peace knowing that my baby is happy, nurtured and protected. Yes, premises are gated and locked! I receive daily updates and photos and it always makes me smile. If you are looking for a well-run business that offers a high-level of care and a sense of community to parents and kids, look no further.
"We had such a fantastic experience with Maria! My child felt safe and comfortable with Maria. All the staff members were welcoming and warm. She learned to do so much during her time there. Maria fostered a sense of community. We cannot recommend her enough!"
