I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child is 17 months old and absolutely loves Mrs. Akram! My son has attended the program for about 8 or so months. As a parent you feel a sense of comfort when you drop your child off at daycare and he or she doesn’t cry, but instead cannot wait to go in. There are some days he wants to stay at daycare! I love the learning environment Mrs. Akram creates for the children. I receive texts throughout the day notifying me my son is having a good or bad day. I tried 2 different daycare facilities before finding Mrs. Akram, it was the best decision we have made! She genuinely cares and loves the children! I HIGHLY recommend her!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I don't know where to start. If I could give Akram more than 5 stars, I would. My daughter is 4 years old and has been attending Akram's daycare for the past three years. I can't express how big of a blessing Ms. Akram has been and how much of a positive impact she has had in our daughters world! Ms. Akram has such a special way of making each and every one of her kids feel as if they are her own child by the loving, caring, nurturing, and patient ways that she handles each of them. She truly has a passion for children and not a day has gone by where that hasn't shown in either her behavior or the wonderful things that my daughter has said about her at home. She is very structured with the daily schedule for the kids which has been wonderful for my daughter, and she follows a curriculum that prepares the kids with all the learning and skills they need to begin their educational journey in school. My daughter will be starting Pre-K next school year and because of Akram, from an educational perspective, she will be ahead of her age learning standards and will be prepared to start Kindergarten. She prepares 3 meals for the kids and makes them fresh everyday, her house is always neat and clean and organized and usually smells like a yummy food that she has cooked that day. I could go on and on, but most importantly - I couldn't have more of a piece of mind each morning when I drop off the most important thing in my world at Ms. Akram's Daycare. That feeling of comfort that she gives to parents is what sets her a part from every other daycare. I would recommend Akram's Daycare over and over again!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son is 2 1/2 years old and has been going to Ms. Akram's Daycare since he was 12mo old. She has been the biggest blessing to our entire family. Ms. Akram came highly recommended to us by a close friend and I have since done the same for several of mine. My son adores Ms. Akram and all the friends he has made at her daycare. From the moment we met Ms Akram we knew it was a perfect fit. She loves her kiddos like they are her own, and we love her like she's a part of our family.

Ms. Akram operates her daycare like a school classroom. She has a curriculum that she follows each week, and works diligently with each child to help them learn. I am amazed at what my son already knows. Each day, I love to see all the educational worksheets that he has completed and what they are learning that week. In addition to a wonderful environment full of learning and fun, Ms. Akram provides healthy home cooked meals for her kids. It's not unusual to see salmon or grilled chicken on the menu. My son often tells me how fun it is to help Ms. Akram cook homemade pizza.

Again, Ms. Akram has been a godsend to our family. My husband and I have such peace of mind knowing that our son is cared for and loved each day, just the same as we would. We are so pleased to have found Ms. Akram and recommend her to anyone who is looking for childcare. She is simply the best!

She is one of the best. My daughter is 32 months old and she has been going to this daycare since she was 23 months old. My daughter loves Akram as she is so kind, patient and caring. Akram provides good food to the kids including lots of fruits and fresh vegetables. Every time I pick up my daughter, she is so happy and playful as she had enough asleep and meal during the day. She also has been learning lots of new things like counting numbers, colors, Alphabets and etc....
Akram always correct bad behaviors and encourage good attitudes among kids. I have been so happy with her and have not had any problems so I highly recommend her to every one.

Akram is very professional and is extremely loving and a godly woman. Always cheerful and pays special attention to each child in her care. The house is very clean and always smells good. She has set up centers in numerous areas, where the children do crafts and practice writing and coloring, an area where they listen to music and dance and listen to stories, a toy room full of interactive toys. She makes the children warm breakfast, lunch and healthy snack after nap. My grandson loves going and I will be sad when he leaves to begin school. HIGHLY recommend Akram's Daycare!

Akrams daycare is amazing! She is so wonderful with the children & she teaches them so much! We have 2 children, ages 2 & 4, and both of them have gone to Ms. Akrams since they were 9 months old. Akram is more than just a daycare, she is like a part-time parent to the children- she has them from 7:30 in the morning, until 5:30 in the evening & she is the best & I don't know what we would do without her. We love Ms. Akram & are so thankful for her!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Our daughter Berkley has attended Mrs. Akram’s Daycare for almost 3 years now. We moved back to Oklahoma and were in search of a place that would care for our little girl just as we would. Mrs. Akram came highly recommended from a friend. We knew the first time we visited her daycare that it was a loving and educational environment. The decision to place Berkley with Mrs. Akram was one that we have been thankful for ever since. Akram provides a caring and safe environment for all the children in her daycare. The daily routine is organized with scheduled activities, arts and crafts, Bible stories and outside time. Our daughter has truly learned more than we could have ever imagined at such a young age. We know that she will be more than prepared when she enters Pre-K. They have so many fun activities like Pajama Day, Show and Tell, Dressing up and acting out Bible Stories just to name a few. She prepares home-cooked, nutritious meals and snacks for the children daily. Akram runs her daycare in the most professional manner. Before each week begins she sends out a menu of what the kids will be eating that week and before the month begins a list of activities and curriculums that the kids will be learning and doing that month. Providing daycare to young children is truly Akram’s calling. She is calm, loving, positive, patient, and kind in all situations. She always greets the children at the door with a smile in the morning and never lets a holiday or birthday pass without a celebration. She is a genuinely good person, who truly loves all the children in her care as if they were her own and they truly love her. The best reference for Akram could be that fact that my daughter Berkley will sometimes ask to go to her house even on the weekend, or is visibly disappointed if we pick her up early.
Sadly, Berkley will be leaving Mrs. Akram’s, as she will be starting Pre-Kindergarten next fall. Although, our youngest will be turning one and we are thrilled that she will get to experience Akram’s daycare too! Mrs. Akram opens up her home and family to her clients and makes us all feel like extended family, as she is family to us. There are not enough words to express how grateful we are that she is a part of our lives. Akram is a truly exceptional person and her home daycare is one that my husband and I would recommend without reservation.
