Brianna G.

I have been taking my daughter here since she was about 3 months old. When her dad and I originally started looking we were very nervous and scared and probably looked at 6 different daycares before we had our visit here. When it comes to my child I am very particular (as I sure most parents are). When doing the tour the teachers were very patient with answering all of my thousands of questions and addressing my concerns. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Everyone is friendly. Everyone shows every child love and compassion and has their own personal bonds with the children. I love how when I pick my daughter London up different teachers (who aren't even her teachers) tell me about little things that they see her doing. The school has been very accommodating and flexible with my different schedules and requests. They communicate very well with the parents (through email and bulletin board) on the different changes that are happening/ going on. I have visited many daycares and this school in particular has a very warm, welcoming homey feel that the students (including my daughter) and myself feel when you walk in. I am so so sad that me and my daughter will be moving to a different city and that is the only reason why I would ever move her to a different school. As far as curriculum and development go. My daughter has been here since she was 3 months old (she's extremely advanced already on her own) but she was crawling by 5 months old, walking at 9 months and she is now talking and articulating small sentences at 1 years if you want a safe, loving, protective environment for your child, this is the place. By the way, all of pictures are different ranges of ages. And I used to text her teacher every few hours for updates when she first started!

I want to start this off with saying things weren't always bad! When I first put my daughter in Kinder care I was really scared and emotional about it as most Moms are. They had no problem with me calling throughout the day to check on her or even coming by for lunch. At that time she was in the infants class and they were amazing. However, once she was moved up a class things took a wrong turn. My daughter was coming home CONSTANTLY with diaper rash and not you're average diaper rashes they were so bad her butt would be BLEEDING, she would cry putting her in her car seat and would be scared to sit in the bath. I brought it to their attention SEVERAL times yet she still would come home with diaper rash at least once a week. I would look at her daily reports (like the one I've attached) and they "forgot" to write down times she was changed. Not only that there would be times id pick her up and she would be running around with one shoe on, her teacher had picked it up and put in in her little cubbie but couldn't even put it back on her foot or take off the other one. Just let my baby run around off balanced for who knows how long. I've come in during lunch to see a child with snot dripping into his mouth as he ate his lunch so I did what the teacher should have as she sat right there with them and cleaned him up so he could eat JUST HIS LUNCH. That same day my daughter was sitting there eating with a diaper full of poop. Her teacher said she must've just done it however the diaper rash determined that was a lie! I debated writing this review because I am not a fan of writing negative reviews however after putting my daughter in another Headstart and seeing that I was not wrong her teachers in her toddler class were just absolutely lazy and clearly didn't care for her well being. She's been at her new Headstart for a couple months now and has yet to have such bad diaper rash. I'm more than happy with my decision to take her out of Kinder Care and I wouldn't recommend you putting your child here especially if Ms Trisha or Olivia would be your little ones teacher.

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 :)

Our twin boys…read morestarted at 1.5 years old (will be 4 this June), and from day one we've trusted her and her team completely. They truly have become like family to us. 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!!

I couldn't be happier with the time my daughter spent at Little Sunflower with Mrs. Shrada. My…read moredaughter started at LSCD when she was 1.5yrs old and we had such a wonderful experience. Pros: - I love how organized the school is. They use the ProCare app which was amazing. Check in/out was efficient, I was notified of SO much during the day. Several photos and updates (down to when her diaper was changed and how long her naps were). We were very spoiled. - Our daughter is a terrible eater, but Mrs. Shrada introduced her to new foods and if she wouldn't eat what others were eating she'd find a way to sneak in something she'd like to get food in her belly. - Super responsive and available via text or email - Payment was easy and tuition was fair. - Very safe. I love how in the ProCare app you can upload pictures of people authorized to pick up my daughter and also pictures of those not allowed to pick up. - Mrs. Shrada had so much love for my daughter. Treated her as her very own. Cons: - My daughter would sometimes get sent home with a cough. I completely understand her wanting to keep others healthy. Just tricky at times when working full time. I HIGHLY recommend LSCD. We'll most likely send baby #2 here.

Shrada and her family are the best! We have two kids and have tried all the various options for…read morechild care over the years (nanny, nanny share, preschool center, etc.). Of all our experiences so far, Shrada's home daycare has been the best experience for our family. Our son previously got kicked out of a nanny share for being too difficult and having difficulty sleeping. We were concerned that he would also be too much for Shrada to handle (especially with 4-6 other kids), but she assured us that she could handle him and that the transition would be smooth. From day one he was napping and within a week he was excited to go back. He's now been attending for over a year and is excited every day to go back. Shrada's daycare is like a second home for him. With Little Sunflower Child Daycare you get the atmosphere of a small family daycare, but with all the benefits of a larger business due to their full use of the ProCare app. I don't know how she manages it, but we receive dozens of updates daily (meals, nap times, diaper changes, activities, photos, videos, etc.). Shrada's communication and responsiveness are unparalleled. It's so comforting and reassuring to always know exactly what our son is doing throughout the day and to know he's in good hands. On top of that she's always smiling and cheerful and consistently engages the children in educational activities. She also prepares healthy, delicious meals that all the kids enjoy. I highly recommend Little Sunflower Child Daycare for anyone who is looking for quality child care.

Before enrolling we found out he needed hearing aids and had a speech delay. The director and every single teacher made it such a priority to learn about and support his needs and to ease our worries. They have gone above and beyond ever since in countless ways. We warned them he would not sleep for a nap, which was our experience at a previous school. Every parent knows, your child is much happier and much kinder to you when they have napped and it's just healthier for them. They told us to not worry, and they would be there with him to comfort him to help him relax and sleep. Needless to say, they worked their magic and this boy finally naps at school!!!!. His entire mood and happiness has improved so much since attending here. Picking your child up at the end of the day and knowing they feel safe and loved and happy is the best thing! You will not find more patient, loving, and caring teachers anywhere else. I now recommend this place to everyone I talk to. They truly have been such a blessing. And the crazy thing is... They are so fairly priced!

I'm honestly saddened to write this review because it means we've officially moved on from Mayrik…read moreChildcare. When we moved to the area about a year ago, finding the right daycare for our daughter was incredibly important to us. We wanted somewhere close to home that had a true family feel, was educational, instilled strong values, and most importantly, was a place where she could feel safe, loved, and truly thrive. From the very first day I met Teacher Anna, I had a feeling we had found exactly that. She immediately made us feel comfortable, and over the past year, we've been so impressed by everything our daughter has learned and experienced there. She would come home telling us about the things she learned, singing songs she picked up at school, and even surprising us with little bits of Russian along the way! What meant the most to us was knowing that she wasn't just being cared for -- she was being nurtured, encouraged, taught, and loved. Mayrik Childcare became such a special part of her early development, and we will forever be grateful for the impact it has had on the little girl she is becoming. We will forever miss Myrik Childcare and Teacher Anna, but we are even more grateful that we found them when we did. Thank you for giving our daughter such a wonderful place to learn, grow, and feel at home.

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!
