Description: My name is Marina, I’ve been taking care of kids since 1999. We open daycare from 6:00am - 6:00pm Monday through Friday, but I also have flexible hours for whatever hours you may need. In our daycare we have two providers that are bilingual. All our documents; License, Business License, CPR, Certificate of fire clearance, etc are all up to date. I’m in the foods program, our menu is up to date for that as well.

The Liras is the epitome of supportive, and the family atmosphere allows children and parents to feel right at home. This was particularly important to me because I was extremely nervous about sending my son to day care. The staff took us in with open arms and helped ease our fears. I couldn’t have picked a better daycare for my son. They go above and beyond for the families they service. Perfect communication as well. Very patient, understanding and creative when working with my child's learning disability. I am especially grateful for all the love they gave my son. They treated us like family and I have always trust their teaching, judgement and care. We are very sad to be leaving. Wish they could move with us! -Grateful Momma.
I first sent my daughter here when she was just 6 months old and she’s been there for four years now. The Liras are the absolute sweetest most caring people! They have taught my daughter so much and they’ve been super flexible with my hours. I tried one other daycare before I started taking my daughter here and she would always start crying as soon as I gave her to the daycare which is not normal for my daughter, but with the Liras she has always been so happy and excited to go, no crying at all! I would drive an extra hour just to make sure all my kids go here. We love them!
My kids have been attending Marinas Daycare for over a year now. And all I have to say is amazing things about her daycare, she goes above and beyond for my kids and all the kids that attend her daycare. She teaches them shapes, numbers, colors, abcs, etc. And comes up with the most adorable arts and crafts activities for the kids to do. They Celebrate all of the kids Birthdays and all Holidays throughout the year. My kids have made so many little friends in the daycare and feel so comfortable with both of the providers! I love the daily pictures I receive each day of my kids, it makes me feel calm through out the day while I work. I’m beyond happy to have found a Daycare so caring and loving towards my kids. I don’t hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends or strangers on Facebook when they are searching for a daycare. Thank you Marina for all you do.
My kids absolutely love Marina's house! She has been taking care of all 3 of my kids starting back in 2019!!. My oldest since he was around 3, my second child was a few months old, and my littlest when he was a few weeks old. She has always treated them as her own, and would do anything to keep our babies safe. I love the fact she has a schedule so the kids know what to expect. She is also so sweet and celebrates each childs Birthday with a little party. I am over all happy and satisfied with my expirence I have had with her daycare!!!

Marina and her daughter Stephanie took care of my children for 5 years. The only reason she is no longer taking care of my kids is because they aged out. My kids love Marina and Stephanie. Before my kids started going to Marina's they were picky eaters. They learn to eat vegetables with Marina and I really appreciate that. Marina really gives love to the children. Till this day my kids still ask about Marina and always want her to be invite to their birthdays. Marina and Stephanie actually spent time with the kids. They celebrate all the children's birthday once a month, they have pool day during the summer, for mother and fathers day the kids will come home with something they made for the parents, and so many more activities. It was a lovely experience for my kids and I. Let alone the price! If comparing prices Marina is one of the cheapest one and with a great service. And even though she has a schedule she is really flexible and understanding.
Marina spanked my son. I realized he started to become afraid to go there and I started asking him questions about his experience with her. I wouldn’t recommend her to ANYONE. SHE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN!!!!!
I am mother and a grandmother. I have worked in the daycare system myself in the past. I have also taken my kids to various daycares throughout the years. Marina has been watching my son for almost 2 years now. She took him in when he was only a couple months old. My grandson also attends her daycare on days needed. I am beyond pleased, I will honestly say her daycare is the best and I could not ask for better. She has a nice loving home, clean, large areas for kids and fun yard. She invest in the best for the kids. She teaches them. I am amazed at how much my son has picked up and learned by being in her care. I feel very confident that my son is receiving the very best care. I promise you will not regret checking out her daycare and all she provides. She is very sweet and loving, clean and truly is a good caring woman. I know 100% my son and grandson are safe in her care.
Marina thank you for loving my son and grandson and giving me the peace of mind just knowing that they will always be safe, loved and cared for.

My 2 boys have been going to Marina’s since September 28th, 2020. My youngest was 3 months old at the time and my oldest was almost 4 yrs old. Marina and Stephanie have been amazing and I am so happy we found them. They’ve taken good care of my boys and the boys love it there. Not a single day have they not wanted to go. They always say it’s fun and they love both Marina and Stephanie. There’s a lot of room for the kids to play and run around and the daycare is always clean and neat. No need to bring toys from home because there’s enough there. I love how they celebrate events with the kids like birthdays, Halloween, Christmas etc. I’ve recommended this daycare to my friends and some have brought their kids here and they love it!
My girls absolutely love going to Marina’s daycare, I’m grateful for everything she does for them. It makes me feel at peace knowing that my daughters are at a safe place with amazing people. Their happiness is all I care about so as long as my girls are happy I’m happy.
Marina is incredible with not only my daughter, but all of the children that attend her daycare. My 3 year old has been going to Marina's since June of 2019 and I could not ask for a more caring or loving person to watch her. She is committed to providing a fun, safe, and loving environment and I am so grateful for her care. Her home and outside playground are incredibly clean and safe. They engage with the kids all day with different activities, music, and toys. The excitement and adoration my daughter has for Marina and attending her daycare gives me no pause in recommending her for childcare.
I had a great experience with Marina and her daycare. It is clean and tidy, there is plenty of space for children to play and run around during movement time (both inside and outside), and she has a large collection of engaging toys. It was clear to me that Marina and her daughter cared about my two children and that they were comfortable with both providers. In addition, it was very rare for either of my children (both in diapers) to come home with a rash; diapering was handled very well. Both of my children became good friends with the other children. I'm only moving on to another daycare now because I have to move out of state. I would enroll my children in her daycare again without a second thought. Would highly recommend to anyone else.
Este daycare de la señora marina lo recomiendo 100% mis 2 niñas están aquí casi 3 años y ellas están feliz. En el fin de semana ellas preguntan vamos ahi con la señora marina? Lo recomiendo es el mejor!
My 3 kids have been in the daycare over 2 years now, they all love going to the daycare and have made many friends within the daycare. Super clean place, the two providers are amazing and super kind.
Marina Lira was watching my 2 year old son for almost a year. He started to cry every morning before dropping him off. I initially thought he was crying because he just wanted to stay home with mommy. I started to ask him more and more questions about why he didn’t want to go to daycare. He told me multiple times that Marina “smacks his butt and his cheeks on his face”. I went through a list of people he knows asking if they’re mean. Neighbors, family, friends etc. The ONLY person he said was mean was “Marina” I never filed a report with the state but I wish I would have. I wouldn’t recommend this lady to anyone. She needs to be shut down!!!!!!!! Kids his age don’t lie about being abused! She denied hitting him when confronted but I know he’s telling the truth. She better hope I never run into her because I’m LIVID. This lady should not be working with children.
