I enrolled my (then) 1 year old son in Ana's Daycare in January 2018. My son gravitated towards Ana's motherly touch when we were touring her space which already had me feeling comfortable and solidified our decision to enroll him. The facilities available to the children blew me away! There is an indoor playground, ball pit, slide, etc. in the basement of the house which was great for cold or rainy days. She also pulls out the pool in the Summer on occasion. I was equally as impressed with the availability of educational tools as well. Ana's extensive experience also had me relieved as we are young parents and appreciated any advice thrown our way. My son has flourished with Ana; he can identify colors, letters, body parts, etc. and Ana also instilled discipline in him to sit through meal time, clean up after himself, have patience (although terrible 2's may be winning that battle). Ana is also extremely flexible with her hours of availability and, not to mention, is the best deal in the area! She supplies diapers, wipes, and all meals/snacks. In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend Ana's Daycare for your child. The sole reason for cancelling our son's enrollment was only due to our family logistics/commute. It breaks our hearts to not have Ana as his child care provider any longer.

My twins began at Ana’s House when they were 5 months old. Having premature babies made me very wary about who I could trust to leave them after I had to return to work. From the first day onward I have felt nothing, but at ease and happy with how my twins are progressing in their development. As an educator, it is important for me to see my boys engaging in activities that will help them meet their milestones and have them catch up to their peers given their prematurity. I have seen their progress based on their interactions at daycare, as well as the suggestions given to engage at home. The warm and friendly environment also helped me be open in communication. Having twins also meant that it would be a hefty investment for daycare, Ana’s prices are some of the most reasonable I have seen in the area given all that is provided. I am so grateful to have her in our boys lives and look forward to their progression as they grow.

Ana's House Daycare is the perfect place for newborns and toddler's to grow and learn. Ana and her staff treat the children like family and create a warm, educational environment. All three of my children are former clients and they all consider Ana to be a part of their family!
