As a first time parent, placing our child in daycare felt very scary. Michelle put our worries at ease immediately. She is kind, compassionate and is an excellent caregiver to our little girl. She has ample experience with infants and toddlers. She takes 3 babies at a time which provides our daughter with a lot of one on one time. The environment is quiet, peaceful and safe. Our daughter has thrived in Michelle’s care and she enjoys going there every day. I have recommended Michelle to numerous colleagues and would highly recommend her daycare.

I'll start by saying that Michelle was absolutely wonderful with our daughter. Michelle's calm demeanor, quiet atmosphere, and loving home provided our daughter with the perfect daycare experience for, but not limited to, the following reasons: 1. Michelle is very sensitive to the babies' nap/sleep time. She encourages a quiet atmosphere for babies to receive a full nap. 2. Michelle typically takes around 2 to 4 babies. This provides your baby with a lot of 1on1 time. There was never a doubt that our daughter wasn't receiving the time and attention she needed. Michelle's attention to cleanliness and the smaller group size, meant our daughter was rarely sick. 3. Michelle only takes babies up to 2-years old. This ensures that your baby is surrounded by other babies of a similar age. 4. There was never a day that our daughter didn't smile and reach for Michelle when dropped off. Michelle became an extension of our family which made our daughter's graduation very difficult/sad. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for daycare, she truly makes parents feel comfortable that their babies are in wonderful care!

Michelle is a WONDERFUL caregiver and our family can't recommend her enough. Our son started attending daycare at Michelle's house when he was 6 months old and from the very first day, it was evident how attentive and trustworthy Michelle is. Our son was at Michelle's daycare until he was about 18 months and during that time we only had the most positive experience. Things we loved: * Michelle maintains a small number of babies (max 4) and some days our son was the only baby or even one of two babies. We were very grateful not to have a rotation of teachers or babies in a larger program. * Michelle was very attentive for his health needs. Our son has allergies (peanuts & eggs) and also eczema. Michelle always sent us photos if she suspected a rash was starting and kept a close eye on his health. * Michelle is very cautious about her own health which meant our son was home far less than other babies at similar-sized daycare centers. Her house and play area are a reflection of this – very clean. * Michelle's home is set up with fun & stimulating toys but also a great set up for sleeping! He always was well-rested * Michelle was very flexible with his schedule and needs – but also ours! The first 12 months meant lots of doctor's appointments and inconsistent waking times. Michelle was very understanding that our schedule sometimes meant that it was difficult to stick to a typical 8:00am drop off. We can't say enough good things about Michelle and the care she gives little ones. Her home is a hidden gem in Walnut Creek and any parent should snap up a spot if there's one available!
