I cannot say enough about Farzin and Lesvia and how awesome they are. My granddaughter has been going to Farzin since she was 11 months. She’s now two years old. We transitioned her from in-home care to Farzin and it was the best decision we could have made. The transformation has been amazing. They have helped to reinforce values like sharing, relationship building, and respecting others. She’s learning essential skills like how to hold writing... more

We switched our daughter from a daycare center to Farzin, it was the best decision we made! Farzin goes above and beyond for these children. She cooks incredibly healthy meals (that my daughter loves!), has a clean environment, and has the best interest of the children in mind. She is so warm and loving. We feel so grateful to have found Farzin!

Farzin and her assistant Lesvia have been watching my 18 months old son since he was 9 months and I feel trully blessed to have found them. I could not have hoped for better child care. They love and more importantly demonstrate their love to him every day. You feel like they consider the children they care for as their own children and never use any type of shortcut with them. They have a strong and efficient routine in place which teach... more

Our son has been receiving childcare from Farzin since he was 3 months old (he's 3 now). Throughout this time, Farzin went above and beyond in his care with a spotlessly clean environment, home cooked breakfast and lunch made from the healthiest ingredients and exceptional and loving care for each child. She really goes above and beyond and we always felt like she was treating our son the way she would treat her own. We wholeheartedly recommend... more

My wife and I have been sending our 1.5yr old daughter to Farzin for about 6 months now. Farzin's daycare provides good structure throughout the day as well as healthy foods for the children. We have been very happy about the care that she is receiving. We always get a report about how the day has gone when we pick her up and she is always in good spirits. We recommend Angel Childcare to any other parents looking for childcare.

Our 18 mo is thriving and loves it here! We've found from both a health and development perspective, he does so much better here than at a center.

Farzin is amazing and our kids are so happy to be there. The twins, now 2, started at daycare around 16 months. Coming from being at home full time, Farzin helped us transition them to daycare full time. She is caring, friendly, and makes my kids feel like part of her family. She provides timely updates about their day and gets my picky eaters to try new foods. The environment is safe and filled with love and fun. My kids have blossomed and... more

Farzin and colleagues has provided excellent child care for my daughter since she was 4 months old (she is 1 year old now). Farzin loves the children she care for, and my daughter loves her. I appreciate the communication (text messages, conversations etc) regarding daily events. Farzin's food is excellent. I am always impressed with how my daughter gets along with the other kids. I think Farzin and colleagues do an excellent job of teaching my... more

I have been sending my daughter to Farzin since she was about 10 months old. What drew us to her was her warm and caring demeanor and environment in which the children are cared for. I can tell Farzin has a special bond with each child and she loves them dearly. I know that my daughter is cared for and nurtured in a similar way that she would be at home, and for that I am so grateful!

Farzin cared for our daughter for 4 years. She provided love, care and great learning environment. Most importantly, Farzin thought our daugher about healthy eating habbit by providing the best meals and snack. Farzin became and still is a part of our family. Our daughter is 15 now :-). We highly recommend Mrs. Irvijeh day care. Please email me if you have any questions

I found this daycare by accident and as soon as I went for a tour, I knew instantly that this is the place for us. My daughter loves Farzin and gets excited to go every morning. She’s learning something new everyday and I have peace of mind that she is in a safe and loving environment!

Farzin runs a really great daycare that attends to children’s individual needs while providing them a safe, clean, and friendly environment. Farzin is like a young energetic grandmother who cares for the kids as though they are family. Since starting there over 6 months ago, our son has had really great development in communication and emotions. We are really happy with Farzins daycare and recommend it with our highest regards.

Farzin is the best daycare provider around. She is a wonderful person who truly cares about the growth of all the children she takes care of. She has taken care of my daughter since she was 7 months. As a mom
I was nervous to send my daughter to daycare, but Farzin has proven to us that this has been the best decision we have made for our daughter. She has learned so much and will continue to learn so much in this environment. Farzin provides... more

Farzin is a wonderful day care teacher! She is not only my two sons' teacher, but also is more like a grandma. She teaches them how to follow the rules, speaking, writing and drawing. She also really take care kids' mood. And she cooks for kids using organic food everyday! For me, Farzin is a very knowledgeable and experiences person. I always ask her how to do when I get any problems about kids. My parents are not living in the USA, so Farzin... more

It is with great contentment that we recommend this provider and her daycare. This provider had taken care of our daughter since she was three months old until she turned 4 and was ready for preschool. She proved herself as a reliable and trustworthy babysitter. She has always been tremendously responsible and committed to children, and our daughter had always enjoyed the time spent with her. She is always smiling and ready to spend time with... more

My husband and I agree that sending our son to this provider was probably the best decision we have made as parents. She is such a caring provider and you can tell that she really loves what she does. Our son adores her and is always happy to go to daycare. He has learned so much there, like the alphabet, colors, numbers, as well as listening, following directions and treating others with kindness. She provides really nutritious food and snacks... more
