I have used this provider for more than 6 months

We have been sending our son to this licensed in-home daycare for the past 8 months, since he was a 9-month old infant and have the utmost positive experience. The provider, Saima, is highly personable and nurturing, and truly treats my son as her own child. My son had a negative experience at a previous center but quickly adjusted to this daycare and finds it to be a second home. Further, Saima is highly flexible and is willing to provide care on weekends as needed, which has been very helpful for our family. She provides highly personalized care, which is a rare find among childcare centers! We highly recommend this provider to any family looking for a childcare experience that goes beyond daycare, to truly feel like a part of your family.
