My family and I cannot say enough great things about Mrs. Shahnaz she is so wonderful. From day one, she has been warm, welcoming, and attentive to both my kids. Mrs. Shahnaz genuinely care about the kids and go above and beyond to create a nurturing and fun environment with home cooked meals. My Son is a picky eater and Mrs. Shahnaz was able to work with him to eat and enjoy foods. She was so patient with him and now my son eats well independently and tells me how delicious Mrs. Shahnaz food is.
Hugs and teach Daycare is clean, safe, and well-organized. They have a wonderful curriculum that blends learning with play, which has helped my kids grow both socially and academically. The updates and photos keep me informed, and I love seeing the progress they’re making. Both of my kids learned to read and write by 4 years old. When my daughter started kindergarten she had all advance classes. Mrs. Shahnaz also potty trained both my kids. I love how she interacted with all the kids and made each one special not just mines.
I always feel confident that my children are in great hands, which gives me peace of mind as a parent.
If you’re looking for a daycare that truly cares about your children’s well-being and development, I highly recommend Mrs. Shahnaz she truly cares about your children.
Please be careful about this daycare and daycare provider (Shahnaz). We put my 4 months daughter in this facility for over 3 months, But I wish I had not put my daughter here. We learned that she is intimidating, yelling and cursing babies. We have strong pieces of evidence that she is using clearly very bad words and scares the kids. She is impatient with kids, especially infants. My daughter was crying for hours and she did not care. This happened multiple times. Shahnaz sent my daughter home many times with diaper rashes and wet. She does not care about babies. Please be aware of this daycare.
She does not like crying babies(even though they are teething). She also makes you feel like you are a sub par parent.She was wonderful at first until I asked if my child stayed in the playpen all day. I'm not sure how often he was shown solid attention with her toddler program going on.
