Parent Reviews
Our son started going to daycare at Rise and Strive when he was about 18 months old and he has been there over a year now. He is so happy there and is always excited when it’s a “Ms. Odile day”. He truly loves her and all his friends there! Ms. Odile provides educational activities, songs, craft projects, and outdoor fun. Our son continues to learn so much from her. She even helped with potty training. We enjoy seeing photos and videos of their activities throughout the day through WhatsApp. We also really appreciate that she provides lunch and snacks! Ms. Odile has been a huge blessing to us and we are confident our son is happy and safe there. We are so glad we found Rise and Strive!!
Excellent care, best experiences every.
Thank you Garfield
Ms. Odile creates a loving and comforting environment for children to thrive and be joyful. She works from the heart and has years of experience caring for children. I highly recommend this environment for anyone seeking more intimate care than a center can provide.
Thank you Ashleigh ❤️
Ms. Odile has been caring for my infant since she was 12 weeks old, and we feel completely blessed to have found her. She loves each of the children in her care, and is an excellent daily communicator. Truly feels like a family. My daughter loves her and reaches for her at drop off each morning. We are so grateful.
Thank you so much Sarah for the trust. It's my absolute pleasure to take care of your little one 💕
Ms. Odile is very caring and loving to the kids.
Thank you so much
My two school aged children have been coming to Odile for several months now for before-care and she has been wonderful. My kids are happy and get to school safely every day. She does crafts with them in the mornings and they’re always excited to show me at the end of the day.
Thank you! It's a pleasure taking care of your precious ones❤️
I've been bringing my child to Odile since October 2024, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. What stands out most is her gentle and kind approach with the children - you can tell she truly cares about creating a nurturing environment for everyone in her care. One of the things I appreciate most is her commitment to providing healthy lunches for the children. As a parent, it's reassuring to know my child is getting nutritious meals while in her care. Her facility is consistently clean and well-maintained, creating a safe space where children can learn and play comfortably. Her reliability has been exceptional - I never have to worry about last-minute cancellations or schedule changes. At the same time, she offers flexibility when parents need it, which is invaluable for working families. Her professional yet accommodating approach makes her an ideal childcare provider. The peaceful, organized environment she maintains, combined with her caring nature, has made this an excellent childcare choice for our family. I would highly recommend her services to any parents looking for quality childcare with a personal touch.
Thank you for entrusting me with your beautiful kids
Odile is an amazing caregiver! She cared for my three children who are now school-aged. She is incredibly attentive and very gentle and calm. She treats children with so much love and respect. She was always singing with our children, reading, and getting down to play with them. She took them outside to play every day and planned lots of fun arts and crafts projects. Any child would thrive at Rise and Strive with Odile. We all love her!
Family for life, thank you ❤️
I trusted the care of my two children, aged 1 and 3, to Odile. She is without question the best caregiver we have found. She provided them with healthy snacks, educational skills and games that were age appropriate, art projects that they loved, and lots of very well supervised outdoor time. She is incredibly patient and gentle with kids, so easy to communicate with, and a joy to interact with for every member of our family. I would without hesitation recommend Rise and Strive to any parent, for peace of mind and to make sure your child grows up feeling supported and knowing they are loved.
Thank you for entrusting me with your family Aka my work babies ❤️
