Our daughter has been in Minu's daycare since she was just a few months old and it has been wonderful! Minu and Bimala take such great care of her (like she is family) and she loves going every day. She plays outside, does two year old art projects :), reads and plays with her friends among other activities. We feel so lucky to have found Minu's daycare because Minu and her family are so nice and caring. Minu also helped us know when our daughter was ready to try feeding herself, when she was ready to start drinking from a cup and now that she is ready for potty training. As first time parents that was so helpful (and still is!).

We love Minu's daycare! We started our oldest daughter there when she was around 6 months and now she is almost 3. They introduced her to the potty before we even realized she was ready and she was fully potty trained by the time she turned 2. Our second daughter also started going there around 6 months. Both our girls love being there because the teachers are so caring, loving, and fun. They have also been exposed to new foods and languages.

We started bringing our oldest daughter here when she was 4 months old, and she stayed until she was 3.5. Our youngest daughter started when she was 3 month old and stayed until she was 3. In the almost 5 years we went there, Minu, Bimala, and Ferdothsi were like family. Both girls were breastfed and Minu was excellent about integrating paces feeding for them. Similarly, we did baby led weaning with both girls, and were very much supported in this. The girls also got lots of exposure to Nepalese food at a young age and as a result have really varied palates and are not at all picky eaters. Minu’s support with potty training was extremely helpful, and she helped us to start as soon as the girls had any interest. I would absolutely recommend it! The slightly lower rating on curriculum is just based on the fact that this is a play-based, in-home daycare. If you are looking for a highly structured curriculum, in-home daycares probably aren’t for you!

We really enjoyed sending our son to Minu's Quality Home Daycare because of the outstanding care given by Minu and Bimala. Our son attended from 8 months - 20 months, at which point we switched him to a Montessori school. We always knew that he was safe, loved and encouraged in his development. They were very accommodating to our schedule, travel, or suggestions. We feel truly lucky to have found such a great provider for these important years.

My 2 year old daughter has been going to Minu since she was 4 months old. We love it there! They provide excellent care and all the kids really enjoy their time there. As a full time working mom it gives me such piece of mind. Highly recommend!

Placing your child in the care of another is no easy assignment. You need to trust without hesitation and know that your child will be loved and encouraged. This is exactly what you get at Minu's. Making the decision to select Minu as our childcare provider has been incredible. Not only do I know that she loves my child, but the children in her care are calm, loving, and well-mannered. This is not just by chance. Minu's loving manner and developmentally appropriate expectations for her students creates an environment for children to thrive. We love Minu and her team and thank her for the academic and emotional growth we see in our little girl.

Our daughter Lily attended Quality Home Daycare from June 2014 until September 2016. She was 4 months old when she first started. I cannot say enough great things about the care that Minu and Bimala gave our daughter. As first time parents, we were very cautious in our research for a daycare facility and we feel like we hit the jackpot in finding this daycare. Minu and Bimala and both of their families became our family. We were so sad to leave and the only reason we did decide to move our daughter to a preschool was to better prepare her for kindergarten. Otherwise, we would have her stay with Minu and Bimala forever! We can never thank them enough for the love and care they gave our entire family.
