Galina's Daycare

Galina's Daycare is an oasis of routine, care, comfort, and community in a time of upheaval after…read morehaving a child. Our baby was about 5 months old when we started his care there, and I believe that Galina's concern and care were integral in his development (and ours as parents) over his first 2 years. She helped us establish a naptime routine such that when he was home, he went down without a fuss. Which also transferred to bedtimes being painless. She would let us know if something seemed wrong (a cough, runny nose, irregular BMs, etc.) and give us tips for what to do at home. As new parents, we were grateful for her advice and consideration, but she was never judgemental. While Galina's pricing seems high, she delivers with enrichment: everything from birthday parties, art projects, celebrating holidays (the Mother's Day projects were SO CUTE this year), and dance parties. She and her mom bake all kinds of treats for us to take home throughout the year, and always makes sure all the kids are at the house for big holidays. My kid has had a great first two years of making friends and exploring his world. It also is a small group of kids so they all get really close. I have connected with some of the parents and hope we can keep their friendships alive over the coming years. As an only child, our kid really benefitted from being around kids of varying ages for him to play with. The big kids taught by example and I think having the little infants around have helped him be gentle. Galina also does potty training. Once my kid was interested--mainly from other kids at the daycare being potty trained--, we bought a potty at home and he already was going #1 consistently at 21 months. 10/10 I highly recommend Galina's Daycare!

Galina is AMAZING!!! We recently moved away from the area and one of the only reasons why we had…read moredoubts is because we don't think we'll ever find a daycare as great, caring, and attentive as Galina's. She develops a connection with each child and makes their wellbeing and happiness a priority. My daughter was always so excited to go there, making the transition really easy when we had to start daycare. My daughter was also introduced to so many healthy foods that we would have never thought of in our household. I was always so surprised when my daughter would come home with a new skill, such as knowing how to blow her nose (so helpful!). Highly recommend Galina, we miss her so much!

He started when he was just one year old, and now at 2.5, we're amazed at how much he's grown and learned during his time there. Anna and her team have been incredibly kind, supportive, understanding, and genuinely caring. From day one, it was clear how much they truly love the children in their care. Our son has thrived thanks to the wonderful programming they offer--arts and crafts, music, behavioral support, and so much more. They've helped him develop all the foundational skills he'll need as he continues to grow, and we've watched his confidence blossom under their care. While our son is transitioning to a new location due to our family's circumstances, we will deeply miss Anna and her team in our everyday life. They've been more than caregivers--they've been like family to us. Any parent would be incredibly fortunate to have their child in such loving and capable hands. Thank you, Anna, for everything you've done for our son and our family!

Our kids started at 1.5 and 3 and it was our first daycare experience. We were a bit nervous at the start, but Anna's warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for the kids quickly helped all of us quickly adjust. Our kids ones loved attending, and learned a lot! It's clear how much she and her team truly care about kids. They provide a great environment where children can learn, dance, and make friends. We highly recommend Anna's daycare to any parents looking for a place where their children will be well-loved and cared for like family. Thank you, Anna and team, for all that you do!

Where do I even start?! Happy Hippos DC, run by Iuliia, is the best place I have ever sent my child…read moreand probably ever will. If you are looking for a daycare where your child will feel at home, truly loved, and completely cared for, this is it. My daughter started here just after turning one, and now that she's approaching two, I can't even begin to explain how much Iuliia has positively influenced her life. My daughter has learned to share, clean up her toys, and listen to directions (she's still a toddler!). Most importantly, she has become kind and gentle with others. I truly believe that comes from the example Iuliia sets every single day. And my daughter is not the easiest child, she has very strong opinions about everything: how she sleeps, what she eats, playtime... everything. Iuliia accommodated all of her needs and made her feel completely at home. There was never a moment where I worried about her while she was there. Quite the opposite! I always knew she was having an amazing time playing with the other kids, doing crafts, and enjoying homemade organic meals like soups and oatmeal. The environment is another huge plus. The play areas, living room, nap spaces, bedrooms, and outdoor space are all incredibly clean and well cared for. That was very important to me, and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in a healthy, safe space. Iuliia is also incredibly flexible and understanding. She was accommodating with schedule changes, makeup days after vacations, and even extra days when needed (with notice). When my daughter got very sick with a high fever during a trip and ended up in the hospital, Iuliia checked in on us every single day just out of genuine care and kindness. That meant so much to our family. If you are looking for a daycare that feels like home, is safe, clean, and above all filled with kindness, look no further than Happy Hippos DC.

Yula is an absolute gem! She treats the kids in her care like they are her own. She is always…read moreinterested in the proper care, so she'll always ask you how you want your baby to be cared for. I have seen her take in the smallest infant and watched them grow while in her care, because most families love her so much they don't want to leave. She took care of my daughter and she was always smiling when she would come home. She hardly wanted to leave, and once I had to wait until she was ready, because she wanted to keep playing. It was so cute! Yula helped the kids make so many projects, my daughter had a huge art wall with just projects from her daycare. It was my favorite thing to see everyday because I knew that she was learning to be creative, while also learning numbers, colors, patterns, and holiday traditions. Yula is fairly priced for everything that she includes. She makes food for the kids... And whatever is in the chicken soup must be magic, because my child always asked for it, and when I made chicken soup, it was never right! One day she even gave me some to take home because my kid ran up to me and said "Mama, I want soup!" And I had to tell Yula about how I couldn't recreate it, and if she would give me the recipe... She gave me an entire tub of soup instead. My child ate the whole container. She takes pictures and texts them to you, and you can bet you'll get some great photos of your kids in action, living their best lives. I can guarantee you, you'll get every cent worth from this program, and you will love to see your own children thrive with Yula. It's what I wish every program could be, and some try to say they are... Happy Hippos will be the absolute best decision you've ever made. (All the photos are from the program, except the art gallery, that one was taken in our home, after all the projects she brought home. So colorful and fun, knowing how special they were, we couldn't throw them away.)

I attended a local home-care for about 1 1/2 years prior but wanted to switch into a larger school for my older son to gain more social skills and have a larger space to play. My older son started their preschool program about 1 year ago and he looks forward to school everyday. He has learned so many new things and brings home the cutest artwork. My younger son began attending the infant program about 6 months ago. He's definitely a wild one with high energy but they take great care of him - always giving me updates about his day. Shout out to Ms. Gloria in the infant center who shows the love and matches the energy to keep up with him! Ms. Nicole, who is the Director, shows her passion with the children. I have seen Ms. Nicole in action during the preschool singing time and she was great! She also has an awesome Assistant Director, Ms. Marshay, along with amazing teachers, who take very good care of all the children. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new school! I had great vibes from the moment I spoke with Ms. Nicole. She is flexible, reasonable, and very understanding which was a major plus for me when choosing this school for our kids. Keep up the great work Super Kidz Club :)

Our daughter adored her, and it was clear that Julie genuinely loved and cared for her as well. One thing we appreciated most was how communicative she was--she always kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. As first-time parents trusting someone else with our child, that meant everything to us. Even now that we've moved on, our daughter still asks for Julie, which speaks volumes about the bond they built. We are incredibly grateful for the two years she spent caring for our daughter. It was our first experience having someone look after our child, and it couldn't have been better. Julie is simply the best, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and attentive caregiver.

Julie's is the ABSOLUTE BEST!! My daughter came here after a not great experience at another…read moredaycare and honestly I couldn't have asked for a better person to be with my child. I don't trust very many people implicitly with my daughter's care but Julie is one of them. She is always communicative, sends a ton of pics and updates and is just one of the best all around people I know. I'd keep my daughter here forever if I could and I will because she also does Saturdays a few days a month which is a LIFESAVER for me! If you're looking for someone you can trust that your kids will love go to Julie's - honesty could not recommend her more!!

Time for an update! My second son has been attending Miles of Smiles since he was just 4 months…read moreold, and over a year later, the transition from infancy to toddlerhood under Biana's watchful eye has been nothing short of seamless. It is rare to find a childcare provider that feels like a true extension of your own family, but after years of being part of the Miles of Smiles community, I can say with absolute certainty that Biana and her team are in a league of their own. My younger son is thriving just as much as his older brother did. The team treats him with such genuine love and affection that any "drop-off guilt" I would have had is replaced by complete peace of mind. Environment: The facility remains meticulously clean. Despite the daily whirlwind of activities, the toys are sanitized, the floors are spotless, and the "daycare smell" simply doesn't exist here. Safety & Communication: Biana remains incredibly proactive. Whether it's an update on a minor "ouchie" or a clear plan for air quality and safety, her communication is thorough and immediate. Nutrition/Development: We continue to be amazed by the meal program. Just like his brother, my 18-month-old eats nutritious, homemade meals at Miles of Smiles that he would likely turn his nose up at at home. We are also impressed that he constantly demonstrates the fine motor skills and vocabulary Biana works so hard to cultivate. If you are a parent who is hesitant about daycare or worried about finding a place that meets your "particular" needs, Biana will put you at ease. Having sent two children here through different stages of their early development, I can testify that the level of care, hygiene, and genuine love at Miles of Smiles is unmatched. They aren't just childcare providers, they're our partners in raising happy, healthy, and confident children :)

It gives us a peace of mind knowing our boys are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every single day. We've watched our boys grow into independent, loving, and smart kids, and we credit so much of that to the play-based learning and daily care they receive. The curriculum is thoughtfully adjusted by age, which we really appreciate, and the small child to teacher ratio makes such a difference. Plus, the kids eat so well! Everything is included and made fresh daily, which is a huge win and time saver for parents. Biana goes above and beyond in the best way. The daily projects (especially the holiday ones!) are adorable. She also puts on the cutest summer and winter concerts for all the kids and families, where the kids get to sing and perform. They're such a highlight and honestly just so fun to watch. The staff truly cares about the kids and it shows. They're loving, attentive, and so invested in each child. We also love the weekly music and gymnastic classes, and Biana always captures the best photos around the holidays and birthdays. She is always available if you have a question or need to communicate schedules. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Miles of Smiles and couldn't recommend it more!!

When we had our newborn, we immediately called Robin at A Nanny Connection. Robin thoroughly explained the entire process and clearly outlined all placement fees and expectations upfront. Communication was easy, responsive, and professional, and she always took the time to answer our questions. Each candidate fit the exact description of what we were looking for - she really listened to our family's needs. The only difficult part was choosing who to hire because every candidate presented was high caliber and impressive. We highly recommend A Nanny Connection.

We had a very disappointing experience with this nanny agency. The business practices felt…read moreextremely unprofessional from the start -- we were never asked to sign a clear agreement outlining fees, guarantees, or policies before the search began. Terms discussed verbally (including a 6-month guarantee and a placement fee equivalent to 6 weeks of the nanny's pay) did not match the contract posted online, which stated no guarantees/refunds and a different fee structure for part-time placements. Communication was rushed and disorganized, consisting mostly of hastily written emails with little clarity around timelines, process, or next steps. Candidate quality was also highly questionable and often far outside the criteria we provided. One candidate was a no-show to the interview and had full voicemail/email inboxes with extremely poor communication. Another lived 1.5 hours away each direction in traffic, making the role unrealistic. Another openly described wanting "something easy" after being out of work and had no meaningful nanny experience. Out of four candidates, only one was a strong fit. When I raised concerns about inconsistencies between the verbal terms and the online contract, instead of discussing it professionally over the phone as requested, the agency responded with multiple hostile emails accusing me of trying to take advantage of them. I also noticed that many of the agency's positive reviews appear to be written by nannies rather than families who actually paid for placement services, which in hindsight feels somewhat misleading. Ultimately, we found an excellent nanny ourselves through Facebook groups. For the $6k+ fee, the experience was simply not worth the stress and lack of professionalism.
