I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I have my son 3 years old and daughter 1year old at Natasha’s daycare. I felt it was right place for us from first conversation we had. Natasha is genuine, most kind, energetic and caring caregiver. She made me feel comfortable with great communication and her ways to connect to children. I appreciate her taking time and sending pictures of kiddos daily activities. She has all brand new toys and playground and always some new activity or little toy for kids to take home. Both of my kids are running on their own to daycare and eating, napping well in there. Natasha is caring for children as her own. We are overjoyed to go there.
Tasha has been a go to since I gave birth to my son! By far the best decision my husband and I made. H?loa enjoys every minute he is there, she truly cares for him like one of her own! We are truly blessed to have her as a mentor to our precious boy! Mahalo for all you do and continue to do for our future generation!!
Our family has been lucky enough to have Aunty Tasha as our childcare provider for our daughter when she was 2-4 years old and now for our baby boy who is 1 year old. Both of our kids felt comfortable and excited the moment they started Upcountry Daycare and that is all because of Aunty Tasha and the loving, family atmosphere she has created in her home. I have watched how she learns each child’s personality and encourages them to learn and explore in their own ways. Tasha is also easy to work with and cares about her kiddos and families immensely. We are grateful and would highly recommend to anyone!
I've used this provider for my first grandchild, and can't find the words to express how much we love and appreciate Tasha. She's very caring, loving, and truly genuine. Goes above and beyond to make sure the children are safe, and having fun. It feels good to know how much the children enjoy themselves there. So much so as they don't want to leave when we go to pick them up! Another one of my grandchildren will hopefully be able to get in as she can be full for awhile and understandably so. I'm over the moon knowing that she's opening up to fulltime this year. The children today will benefit! Kris T.
Dealt with Tasha for a while, then for drop ins since I moved. On her waitlist again as she's been full for quite sometime. Always a pleasure, super happy environment, real family atmosphere. Very prompt, and not pocket draining! I recommend her to all!
My child has been going to Tasha since she was 8 months old, she’s now 3.. it’s great knowing that I can go to work and know I’m leaving my child in great hands. Great hours, inexpensive. My daughter has so much fun learning, dancing, napping and playing at Tasha’s house. Tasha/ up country day care is great! My daughter is always excited to go! I’d recommend her to anyone.
I highly recommend Upcountry Daycare. My daughter has been going to Tasha since she was 3 months old. She will be 2 soon. She loves it there. I was a new mom and new to the Island of Maui. But When her and Tasha met for the first time they formed a bond like no other. I knew at that point that she was the one to care for my daughter. Tasha is an amazing person, very easy to work with and has a heart of gold. If there was a 100 Stars rating I would rate her a 100.
Always accomodating,very pleasant,safe,and friendly atmosphere. Real family like that you don't find often. Hours and times wir3ks for me! Great place!
