My daughter has been in Crystal’s care since she was 3 months old, and she is now 18 months old. I can’t speak highly enough about Crystal’s professionalism and trustworthiness, the immaculateness and health and safety procedures within the facility, and the whole experience for my daughter’s development. You can see how much she loves kids, she’s appropriately firm and patient with boundaries which helps at home, and she’s given me a lot of... more

I found Crystal last minute when the original daycare I had signed my child up for closed unexpectedly. This is my first child and she began at hello kiddies daycare at about 4 months...best thing that could have happened! My daughter likes being at daycare more than she likes being at home. Crystal has a beautiful addition on her home built for the daycare kids and it stays emaculate. She has kept my daughter progressing through her milestones... more

My daughter has been with Crystal at Hello Kiddies since she was 2.5 months old. She is now an energetic 8 month old and it is very obvious that she not only loves her time there but also that she is blossoming under her care. Every morning she is extremely excited when I drop her off. She loves playing with the other children and is happy with all of the caregivers. As a parent I appreciate the cleanliness of Crystal's facility (my daughter has... more

I had to go back to work 6 weeks postpartum. My daughter was colicky, had acid reflux, and was labeled failure to thrive because she wasn't gaining weight. I was an emotional mess going back to work, I didn't feel like we were ready. My daughter cried a lot and I was terrified she was going to be kicked out. But when I took her, Crystal just reassured me it was going to be okay and that if she wanted to be held all day, they would just hold her.... more

My daughter began at Hello Kiddies about 2months ago...SHE LOVES IT! I love it because she does. She is not the type of child to go to just anyone, so when I drop her off in the morning she throws her hands up for them to take her. Its so awesome! That is a clear indication that she is happy there and it means the world to me the way Crystal and her colleagues treat my baby. They are an awesome facility.

My daughter loves being dropped off every morning at hello kiddies. She has flourished greatly under her care. Hello Kiddies has been a life savior to our family. Her schedule works wonderfully for a working family and is as close as you can get to actual daycare center hrs and holiday closures... She has a very spacious, classroom like setting for the children giving ample space to play and learn in and out doors. My daughter has been going for... more

I love this daycare! I am so happy that I found a safe, clean, and learning environment to send my child to while I work during the day. Crystal is a great provider. If I had to recommend any one for child care it would be "Hello Kiddies Child Care".

I had been struggling to find daycare for my daughter. I went through 2 people before I was blessed to meet Crystal. My daughter has always needed to be swaddled and in the first day Crystal got her out of that habit. I just love how happy my daughter is there. When I pick her up she is always smiling! She is a baby and of course she has her fussy days, but Crystal never gives up on my daughter like the rest have! I love Hello Kiddies and would... more
