Reviews
Recommending a warm and loving daycare where my 3 year-old went for the last 2.5 years. Tafu, the owner, and her husband are loving, attentive and kind. The atmosphere is positive, there are lots of activities, engagements with social-emotional learning, fine and gross motors, a nice backyard for digging and playing, and a nearby playground they go to. If you are looking for a small, family-friendly place, this is it. We highly recommend it and your child will flourish and develop new skills, as well as make new friends.
