We send our 21-month-old, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about this home-away-from-home. Our daughter absolutely adores Eleena and Luba and smiles SO MUCH at drop off, and is always playing happily at pick-up time. They are endlessly sweet to her in such a beautiful, nurturing, and genuine way. They provide homemade meals and snacks, have a wonderful ratio, are careful with allergies (our daughter has an anaphylactic allergy, so this was a huge priority for us when touring and deciding daycares), go outdoors to their lovely backyard play area, and offer long hours. Our daughter loves books, music, is independent, a great eater, and a great sleeper - and I am sure Eleena and Luba are huge parts of her success! It is a calm, peaceful, low-key, low-tech (no app tracking or anything like that), truly feel-good, heart-forward daycare that has been a great fit for our family. It is not an exaggeration to say that Eleena, the owner, is truly one of the kindest and most patient women I’ve ever met. Some people, you can just tell, have a kind and generous heart, and she is one of these special people! Our daughter will (sadly!!!) be leaving to attend preschool at the school I work at, and when I told Eleena, she said to me, “I’m going to be teary all day looking at her and missing her already!” What a gift to have had this daycare and to have Eleena's presence in our daughter’s life! I am honestly sort of emotional right now imagining leaving! I am happy to share more with anyone interested, or connect you with the owner! I want to do anything I can to support her care center. If you have the opportunity to join, go for it!

My husband and I felt like we hit the lottery when our son got a spot at Parkside Paradise. As a first time mom, I was so nervous about leaving my baby in the care of someone else. Eleena is the sweetest, kindest most caring person and every morning we count our lucky stars that we have the comfort of knowing she is taking care of our children. By the time we had our second, all those nerves for starting daycare were gone! It's a small group of kids, and our son has picked up manors, colors, numbers and loves his friends at "school". He has never cried at drop off, and at bedtime always says "'night 'leena" and 'night to all of his friends. If you are lucky enough to grab a spot in this small group, you hav extended your family.

Eleena and Luda have provided care beyond expectation; they put in efforts in providing nutritious and wide variety of home-made food; they encourage kids to love books, art and music. I am frequently surprised by how much my son learned at his daycare; at age 2.5 he knows all the colors, shapes, capital letters and says long words, such as telescope, that we didn't teach him at home. Eleena's school-age daughters frequently lead art projects and music time for the kids. It really made a difference that my son loves to sing and dance more than me and my husband ever did. Since the Pandemic, Eleena and Luda are extra diligent with cleaning and helping kids wash hands. My son has not had any cold since March even though he was teething and constantly putting his hands in his mouth. We are very happy with this child care and would like to share this information to the community.

Parkside Paradise is more than a daycare. I still remember visiting it for the first time, seeing the kids play, laughing, and it just felt like home. Since then, and it's been almost two years, we never looked back. This place became another home for our daughter, and we know she is well taken care of, truly loved and has great company every day she goes there. Eleena is amazing, she is a teacher, an educator, and just a great mom that loves the kids in her care. With Parkside Paradise, we feel truly lucky!

Parkside Paradise is amazing! Our daughter has been with them since she was 8 months old and she's now just a little over 2 years old. She loves going to daycare and it takes a few minutes at the end of the day to make her leave the daycare. Eleena is very flexible and transparent and we totally trust her with our baby/toddler. Highly recommend this little home daycare and can't praise them enough.
