We completely loved Mamoda and would recommend her to anyone! We heard about Mamoda from a friend and our son started with her when he was 10 months old. Throughout our time with Mamoda, our son thrived and loved every minute he spent with her! His face would light up at the sight of her and he barely noticed when we would leave. Some nights, he didn't even want to go home...seriously:) Mamoda provides a very caring and loving facility for young children and you won't regret your choice in choosing her. She is loving, personable, honest and incredibly friendly. We knew she was the right caretaker for our son the second we met her. We had been nervous about starting daycare, and meeting Mamoda put our minds at ease immediately. Mamoda absolutely loves the children she cares for like they are her own. If you are a nervous parent, she provides test messages and pictures during the day to give you piece of mind. She also will spend quality time with you at the end of the day to talk about your child and how they did. Her house is always incredibly clean and well taken care of too. Most importantly, it is safe and full of fun toys to keep your child active and happy. If you want a loving, nurturing, trustworthy, and reliable provider, please consider Mamoda for your family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking and we are so thankful for all of the time she spent with our son!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We moved our 2 year-old daughter from a previous in-home daycare to Mamoda 14 months ago, and we could not be happier with our decision. Our daughter is shy and does not take to "strangers" easily, but when we first met Mamoda to visit her facilities, our little one smiled at her right away and by the end of our 15 minute visit, when Mamoda asked for a hug from her, she jumped into her arms. Outside of the facilities being very spacious and in immaculate condition (I am a super neat freak so this impressed me from the start), seeing our little one take a liking to Mamoda so easily sealed the deal that this was the right daycare for us. Mamoda is very professional, warm, attentive, caring, and flexible and both my husband and I absolutely love her as a provider for our princess. She takes the time to go over the day with us every evening and works with us to make certain our "at home" schedule is not thrown off course throughout the day as well. If there are any issue at all throughout the day, Mamoda always makes certain to text and if we call/text for an update on how our little one is doing, she responds expeditiously and often sends photos as well, which completely makes our day! Our daughter greets Mamoda with a smile and a hug every morning and does not leave before giving her a hug every evening. It's hard to find quality care for your children and to see our princess as happy as she is, gives us so much peace of mind throughout the day.

We absolutely adore Mamoda! Our daughter started with Mamoda when she was 3 months old (over a year now), and from the beginning, it felt like a perfect fit. Mamoda is very patient and attentive, treating each child as if they are her own. At pick up, she updates us with how our daughters day went and sends texts/pictures throughout the day. Her home is clean and in a safe neighborhood. Mamoda has been very flexible and accommodating with respect to our work schedules and pick-up/drop-off times. We are moving out state and if we could take her (and her whole family) with us we would! She is the most amazing and nurturing caregiver anyone could ask for. She has become part of our family and such an important part of our lives. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a caregiver!

We heard about Mamoda from a neighbor on the same street when we struggled to find a reliable and trusted daycare provider for our then 4-month old son. After meeting with her, we immediately knew that we found the perfect place for our son. My son has been under her care for almost 8 months. He likes her very much! When we pick him up every afternoon, he is very happy and satisfied. Mamoda is always ready to follow our special food requirement for our son. She regularly send us the precious moments of our son. She is very professional, patient and attentive. Her daycare is always clean, welcoming and nurturing. Several families have sent each of their kids to Mamoda, and that strengthens our trust with her. That also tells how wonderful she is along the years. We feel lucky that Mamoda can be a part of our life. To us, she is not only a care provider to our son, but a family member. We leave our son with her everyday with peace in mind! We are very happy with her care and would recommend her to anyone looking for daycare for their little one.

Our daughter has been going to Mamoda since she was 3 months old (she's 9 months now). We are so happy and grateful to have someone like Mamoda watching her everyday. As first time parents, we were nervous about...well everything, however, it was apparent from our first meeting with Mamoda how much she truly cared about the kids that were in her care, and that put us at ease right away. She sends pictures and text messages to let us know how our daughter is doing. Her home is in a great, safe neighborhood and is always clean and welcoming. Our daughter knows her and is so excited every time we drop her off. Mamoda is flexible with our work schedules and gives us advanced notice of any vacations or time off she plans to take. She feels like a part of our family and we highly recommend her!

Our son has been with Mamoda over a year now. He started with her at 3 months. We are so happy and thankful to have Mamoda watching over him! She is extremely patient and thoughtful. Our other children have been in a daycare center previously and this has been our first experience with an in-home provider and we couldn't be happier. It is such an advantage to have the same person caring for your child each day and in a loving and home environment.

My daughter has been with Mamoda since she was 10 months old (over a year now). I remember the first day I dropped my daughter off and Mamoda was so thoughtful and supportive towards me. She even texted pictures and updates throughout the day (and couple of weeks), making me feel at ease. Her facility is always super clean, bright, and inviting. Mamoda is the most caring, nurturing, and amazing caregiver anyone can wish for! My daughter absolutely loves her and is always excited to go “play with Moda.” I cannot believe the progress my daughter has made with new words, sharing, and learning to care for others. Mamoda is easy-going and flexible with working with me and my husband’s work schedules. I don’t see her as just a caregiver, but as a friend and a blessing in our lives who I completely trust with my daughter. I would recommend her many times over!

My son started under Mamoda's care when he was 3 months old and has been with her for 2 months, and I couldn't be happier. As a first time mom, I was terrified at the thought of leaving my child somewhere when it was time for me to go back to work; however, Mamoda eased that fear and immediately took him in as a member of her own family. She runs her business professionally but ensures each child has special attention. The home is very clean and organized. Her home is in a safe neighborhood in a great location. Mamoda is very attentive to helping my son in his development. She follows his schedule and provides a variety of activities for him to participate in throughout the day. She is kind, generous, and nurturing. Every day when I pick up my son he has a big smile on his face, which tells me he's in a loving and caring environment. You can tell just by talking to Mamoda that she loves all of the children in her care and has a real passion for taking care of them. I am extremely happy with the care our son is receiving while in Mamoda's care and would highly recommend her to anyone considering an in-home daycare for their little one(s).

We cannot say enough about how wonderful Mamoda has been. We are new parents and were very worried about finding the best day care for our son. Mamoda has been everything we could possibly hope for and she took care of us as much as she took care of Luke. We started our son with her when he was three months old and he just turned 10 months and it's been so nice having him in her care. She understood our worries in the beginning and put us at ease from day one. She even answers our questions (we have a lot!) and gives us great advice. We are so lucky that Luke is in a warm and happy environment every day and has consistent, loving care.

Mamoda was amazing. She took care of our first son when he was about 6 weeks old. Due to an unexpected move, we could only keep Thomas with her for a month, but it was a wonderful experience. She is so calm and patient. I wish we could have taken her with us when we moved.

Mamoda entered our lives during a challenging time. Having just moved to the area and needing to find care in short order, she was there to meet our needs. Her flexibility and compassion have been such a calming presence in our lives. When our son is with Mamoda, we know that he is well taken of and in engaged with in a meaningful and loving way. He is so at ease with her that he does better with naps and potty learning at her place than he does at home. I can't say enough wonderful things about Kingstowne Childcare, she is simply the best.

We have been with Mamoda for just6 months but feel like we hit the jackpot in childcare. She has taken great care of our son and I feel very comfortable leaving my son with her. She is very caring and is very knowledgable in home remedies and recommendations on many 1st time mom questions.

My two children have been going to Mamoda for 6 months. She has been great! Very flexible, loving, nurturing and just a great person. Both of my children love her and are happy to see her everyday. She makes wholesome meals for them and they are thriving under her care. I would recommend her many times over. I am able to go to work and not worry about how my kids are fairing in her care.

I am happy to recommend Mamoda as a very caring provider. We began taking our son to her childcare at about 1.5 years. Mamoda helped to ease the transition for our son by being extremely loving and attentive to him at that time. She also communicated frequently with us at that time to let us know how he was doing. Though we moved on because we felt our son was ready for a more structured setting of a school at 2.5, he mentions how he wants to see Ms. Mamoda and her family frequently.

My son has been cared for lovingly by Mamoda since he was 3 months old and we could not be happier. Mamoda is not only patient and kind, but clearly has a special gift with children. My son loves arriving to see her every morning and has a wonderful time each day playing with friends and learning new skills. As others mention in their reviews, We've really appreciated Mamoda's flexibility with drop off/pick up as well. Mamoda came highly recommended to us by trusted friends--she fully deserves these rave reviews!

Mamoda is a wonderful child care provider. We received rave reviews when we found her and she has lived up to those reviews. Our son Ben started with her at 9 weeks old. He is always happy and smiling when we pick him up. Her facilities are comfortable, clean, and she clearly loves every child in her care. My husband calls her the "baby whisperer" because she has a very special connection to children.

We have been taking our daughter to Mamoda since she was 8 weeks old. Mamoda was very understanding and patience in answering all our questions and requests. Our daughter loves going to Mamoda and seeing not only her but the other children as well. Mamoda takes the time to give each child the attention and care they need. We have been nothing but happy since we started.

Our daughter has been with Mamoda since she was 4 months old and we couldn't be happier (nor could she). This in-home daycare has been the perfect environment for new parents/new baby. Mamoda takes time at the beginning/end of each day to talk with each parent about their child's day. Each child receives a great amount of attention and love from Mamoda. My daughter is very excited to go each day. The best part of using Mamoda's services has been her flexibility. I work out of town often, so we need different drop off and pick up arrangements each week. Mamoda has been so willing and so easy to coordinate this with.

I am so pleased to recommend Mamoda. My son, Hunter, was with her for about 1.5 years just prior to starting pre-school. Mamoda is an excellent provider for babies and toddlers! She is kind and loving. Her center is clean and bright and she is always very concerned about the children for whom she provides care. Hunter always looked forward to being with her. Mamoda keeps to good childcare habits and routines and is very flexible with parents and their needs. I am grateful for the type of care she provided Hunter and my family. You will be too.
