I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I been bringing my child to Ximena’s playground daycare for more then six months and all I can say are great things about them.
The way they treat my child and how happy she is to go there makes me feel very comfortable knowing that I have to go to work and not worry about my child’s safety.
I would recommend this daycare ????% knowing how good they are.

I really would have given this daycare 5 stars before what happened. Now, I wish I can give ZERO. Reality really hit us hard. My son is a 6 month old baby diagnosed with Trisomy 21 which is a form of down syndrome. Claudio and Maria decided at the very last minute to dismiss my child from daycare due to feeling uncomfortable with the amount of questions we ask. Please note that this "issue" was never brought up to us before she decided to dismiss us from the daycare, and she has always seemed comfortable with our questions and concerns. This literally came out of the blue and it all happened in one day. We have been nothing but respectful. Mind you, we only ask how much milk he drank by the end of the day and if his nose (because he's been stuffy for a little over 3 weeks)sounds better during the day. By the time we get home we can only spend about 3 hours with him before he goes to sleep. So isn't it normal for parents to ask questions to a daycare that takes care of their child for most of the day? That is not a good reason to kick us out of the daycare. They already made up their minds before we arrived at their home and had the paperwork ready to "let us go". This was truly an inconvenience. We are both parents that work and I had to take time off from my job to search for another daycare for my infant son without pay. Perhaps there was some sort of underlying issue or discrimination against us for WHATEVER reason because their reasoning just didn't make sense. This is not how you treat people who are trusting you to take care of their baby. Especially us as new parents, we are new to the daycare experience and in no way did they show any care or concern about what they were doing to us. I am not sure what we even did wrong to be treated and kicked out the way that we did. But everything happens for a reason and maybe they are not the genuine people that everyone seems to think they are.

I have been with Claudio for almost 6 years now and he is one of the most caring and kind people I know. I have met his wife on several occasions, she is such a nice lady and I would not want anyone else watching my kids besides them. They are great parents and have slowly began to teach their children how to be loving, kind and independent people, just like them.

I have seen how wonderful Mrs. Herrera is with children. She has a way with kids and creates a very safe environment for them. Everything is kept spotless. And She is also a very good role model...

Ximena’s Daycare is a magical place for kids. They have everything the kid might need and like - numerous toys and activities, and what’s the main part of healthy kids routine- perfect outdoor spot for your kids enjoyment. My daughter goes there with with a huge enthusiasm and it speaks for itself. Miss Herrera creates a wonderful environment for kids development, rest and fun. She is always very kind and caring. This is the best experience I ever had with daycare. Highly recommend! Thank you for your hard work with our kids.
