I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Maria’s Daycare has been one of the best daycares our family has had the pleasure to encounter. Not only is the staff extremely friendly and proactive with the children but they are trustworthy. My children love going to Maria’s daycare and sometimes ask to stay a little later. The staff is also very helpful and understanding with parent’s busy work schedules. I’m extremely appreciative to have found such a wonderful place for my kids.

My son has been attending Maria's daycare for nearly 2 years now, and I am beyond pleased with the experience. The daycare is a lovely, family-oriented environment with strong values and a wide range of activities for my child to enjoy. Maria and Mrs. G always have engaging activities planned and my son even raves about the food, considering it "very yummy.” Maria and the kind-hearted staff treat my son like one of their own, and I am filled with so much gratitude knowing he is in such loving hands. Watching my son happily bid me farewell each morning fills me with so much joy as a parent. I can head to work without worry, knowing he is safe and well-cared for. Thanks to Maria and her team, my son's Spanish skills have flourished. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare - it's a perfect 10 out of 10 in my eyes or in this case 5 stars in this review.

Maria’s daycare is Not just a daycare they become more like family and treat the children as if they are their own. My 5 year old and 10 year old both go here and we’ve been here about a year now and I can highly recommend them! Despite my son having a disability Maria loves and treats him so good and very loving, caring, patient and all around Great family. Gracias Maria por ser la segunda mama de mis niños????

I have no words to describe how grateful I am to Maria’s childcare. She has gone above and beyond to help my child. I can’t recommend her enough.
Their family values and patience have transferred to my daughter. My daughter enjoys the home cooked meals and working on projects to develop her learning. The nurturing environment has been essential to my daughter’s growth.
Thank you!

Moving to a new place is hard especially when you have a toddler. As soon as I walked in I knew this was the place my toddler was going to attend. It felt like home, with toys and books and homemade meals. The yard has play structures and sections for the younger kids. And when I expressed what my toddler could and couldn’t eat they listened. I can’t express how happy my toddler has been meeting and making so many new friends.

My kids have been going to Maria’s Daycare for over 3 years. I was a single mother of 2 children, new to the area, and a co-worker referred her to me. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Maria and her establishment. Every time I dropped off my children, I knew they were in the absolute best care. Maria is one of the most gentle, caring human beings I’ve known and she always reassured me that my babies were doing real well. She makes sure they are fed, rest and engage in some fun arts & crafts! Also, my son is the pickiest eater and he absolutely loved her food! I highly recommend.

Maria is amazing I am so thankful to have found her. It was only supposed to be a temp thing because the Montessori my son (1 year old)at the time was attending was closed for winter break. That first day I picked my son up from her house I noticed he wasn’t crying like he would at Montessori that’s when I realized something wasn’t right with the Montessori my son needed a family to love him while I was working full time and I found that at Maria’s. We decided to take him out of Montessori and take him to Maria’s. He is now 6 and still at Maria’s along with his little brother who started going to her at 3 months of age. I would of never left him at such a young age with anyone else. My children love her she is like a second mom to them both and that makes me very happy and at ease while I’m at work.
