We have been with her for a year now. I am pleased with how my daughter is cared for and nurtured. I receive feedback daily, updates in real time when asked, and I kept apprised of any additions to the staff beforehand. The environment is clean and safe. I do not worry about my daughter when she is in her care, and as a mother, peace of mind is priceless.

I found this daycare online and decided to visit the center in person. I absolutely fell in love with this place. I knew in my heart it was the right choice for my newborn daughter. Zuri loves the staff and enjoys her time at daycare. My daughter has attended this center since July 2023. If you are considering this place look no further. The staff is consistently loving, happy, professional and nice. I LOVE IT!

I had great anxiety about starting my daughter in daycare. After interviewing several facilities and providers, I was so relieved to find this provider after a friend referred me to her. I instantly felt confident and comfortable with leaving my daughter in her care. She and her assistants loved my daughter like a member of their family, and she thrived in their care. Her speech development was incredible once she started with her, to the point... more

We are SO happy we came across this childcare program. We trust her and her staff wholeheartedly. It was scary at first to leave our infant in someone’s care, but the clean facilities, great communication and amazing care that is provided to our child have far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

My husband and I are so appreciative of her child care services. Our son started with her in July 2022 after attending a different daycare the previous 4 to 5 months. We decided to make a switch to her daycare because we were unhappy with the services our child was receiving at his previous facility. We are so thankful we made the switch and our minds are completely at ease every morning we drop him off. She genuinely cares for our son and for... more

My Wife and I are very happy with the care and education our Little One receives from the owner and her staff. Most importantly our Little One (LO) LOVES her and her team. There was a period where she would shriek and dance in her carseat with delight when we pulled into neighborhood. She continues to be happy there and often saying "We are going to Ms. T's" is a motivator for her to get going in her home morning routine.
We had toured multiple... more

I am so happy I found this caregiver! my boys love her and always enjoy going to daycare. She has kind and caring staff that my boys adore. They have fun activities everyday. I love seeing the creations my boys bring home daily. She and her staff teach the children about manners, being kind, and academic skills such as their numbers, letter, and shapes. I know that because of her and her staff, my boys are safe, well cared for, and loved! You... more

We are so thankful to have found this provider. Her daycare feels more like sending our boys to a family member who loves them than to a center. She takes great lengths to keep everything clean and sanitary and safe. Our son has a speech delay and she incorporates everything we are doing with his speech pathologist into his daily activities. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone.

Thank you so much.

the daycare is wonderful. This provider is loving, caring, and supper attentive. My son is 2 and half and he just started going there a few months ago. He was super attached to me because he’s never been to a daycare since the day he was born, but he loved this provider the minute he met her. she’s always on top of her game and keeps me updated with how my son is doing. she’s very responsive and I love that. I know my son is well taken care of... more

This provider gives a loving, well thought out, very clean and safe environment. It is obvious that the provider really knows what she is doing - she is an effective communicator and well versed in educational and developmentally appropriate play. As a working mother, I feel at ease knowing my daughter is happy and well looked after. We are so grateful for this provider.

My daughter has been with this provider and her team for nearly 3 years, and we couldn't be happier. They have loved her as they love their own. All of the reasons you go to a home daycare are why I keep my daughter here -- small, warm, welcoming, family-like environment. My daughter began in the infant room, but she soon moved up to the "big kids" once she mastered walking. She now thrives with the other toddlers. Since the COVID-19 pandemic... more

The provider and her team have been really fabulous since Covid began. One of the things that drew me to her daycare is that it is so clean and organized, so I had no doubt she could handle these unprecented circumstances. Staff are always wearing masks and the daycare is always clean. My daughter has not gotten sick once since Covid began and neither have we. I can tell the daycare is diligent about handwashing because my daughter's handwashing... more

Our son has been attending this daycare since he was about 10 months old, now 1.5 years, and it has been a wonderful place for him. From a child's perspective, he's loved and cared for and there are so many activities and toys and playmate options - he loves it and is happy every day. From our parent perspective, not only are we thrilled he loves being at daycare, but it's spotless, safe and he stays on a schedule. We also can communicate easily... more

This child care provider is great. We have nothing but good things to say. She communicates very well and lets us know how our son’s day is each day. Our son is very happy there and gets upset when it’s time to leave each day. This provider and her assistants give him wonderful care and treat him extremely well. The daycare area is extremely clean and well maintained with lots of activities for newborns through toddlers. We feel very fortunate... more

I love this daycare. This is my first child and it is nerve-wracking leaving your baby with anyone other than family. This provider has a large family of her own and her staff are so loving and gentle with my baby. She always has a smile for them and is clearly happy there. They are always responsive and accomodating. I highly recommend this daycare!

The provider is a thorough-nurturing daycare provider. She has developed appropriate curriculums from infant care to toddler programs. She focuses on social development skills, emphasis on potty training and necessary academics to ensure children succeed in pre-kindergarten and elementary school. This childcare is a safe and educational environment where all the daycare providers have a compassion for each child. This provider has a great... more

My son absolutely adores this provider. I thought he was very funny because on the weekend when we are not going to daycare he always ask the question if we are going to daycare and he's so bummed when he finds out that he's not going. That's how much he loves this provider. Her place is always immaculate. I love the structure that she has with the kids. She had my son potty trained inside of two weeks of attending her daycare. I love everything... more

I have nothing but great things to say about this childcare. The facility is great and my daughter loves it. The teachers truly care for your child it shows. They send pictures and updates of your child throughout the day, and the structure of the day has truly helped with the evening night time schedule at home. I love this facility and i’m happy I found them on Care Lu Lu.

I have had two children go through with this provider, both since they were three months old. I would not send my children anywhere else. We were very fortunate to come across her daycare! The staff are extremely loving and caring towards the children and their parents. I visited a few other in-home daycares before I visited here, and none can compare!

My son has been going to this daycare for over 2.5 years (since he was 3 months old). We feel so fortunate to have found this provider, she has been a parent to him and has helped us raise our child. She has two full time helpers and between the three of them, this helps keeps the adult to child ratio low, where my son gets so much love and individual attention. There are days where he does not want to come home, and I have seen the other kids... more

This provider has been the absolute best! My mom referred her to me because she used to watch my little sister. My son has only been there a little over a month and has already improved with his manners and speech. He is so in love with her and the other teachers!
