We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Simin. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for the kids, she truly treats them like her own. Both of our boys (ages 3 and 1) absolutely adore going to daycare every day. In fact, they often don't want to leave when it's time for pickup, which says everything. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they are not only safe, but happy, engaged, and loved. Simin does such a wonderful job planning crafts and activities that are both fun and developmentally appropriate. Our older son is always excited to show us what he made, and our younger one is constantly learning and exploring. What really sets her apart, though, is her experience and intuition. She has an incredible understanding of children and their needs, and I find myself regularly turning to her for advice and guidance. She just gets it in a way that's hard to explain unless you've experienced it. Trusting someone with your children is everything, and we trust Simin completely. We couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

Our daughter attended this daycare for 5 months as a baby during the pandemic. She had a genuinely great time there and we are thankful for what they provided in terms of socialization and love. Now that I've had experiences with 2 other childcare places, I know that our experience for infant care could have been better. In general it seemed like they were very defensive whenever I'd try to communicate to the point where it felt like a power struggle. Here are some examples. Before we started I asked to chat about basic things like nap and feeding schedule but was the owner said emphatically that she was too busy. She did talk to me-- but she told me she was not feeling the love from me(?). After we started we learned that the daycare served processed snacks. We also learned that our baby had delayed severe pain when she consumed corn (which is present in processed foods). Eventually we would need to change childcare, but the baby wasn't ready to eat those foods so we stayed for the time being. They started serving crushed popcorn. I know now that popcorn is a *major choking hazard* for toddlers, but at the time all I knew was that it would cause my baby pain. I asked that they keep her away from the popcorn. Two days in a row she was up in the high chair when I came for pickup. On the third day, she was crawling around in the popcorn on the floor. I still don't know if this was on purpose or an oversight. I said, "She can't do that, if she eats that she'll get very sick." We were told quite rudely that since her food sensitivity was not life threatening they didn't have time/resources to accommodate it. We were also told (despite a doctors note) that there was nothing wrong with her and we were making things up. This interaction was unprofessional and hurtful. It was also a blessing in disguise because the next daycare and subsequent preschool we attended after that have been very polite and more than happy to accommodate us. I rated as 2 stars because Yelp defines this as "Could've been better", and that seems right to me. read more

My son has been going to Ms Simin's for over a year. He is now 2.5 years old and he loves it there. We were so nervous about sending him to daycare but after meeting Ms Simin and seeing her interact with the kids and babies, we decided to pick her daycare and we have no regrets. Our son is a very silly, happy boy. Ms Simin matches his high energy and is able to engage the kids through music, dancing's, games and reading. This is not just a daycare. Ms Simin teaches them so much too! This is a great place for learning and having fun. Ms Simin is so caring, loving, energetic and patient. I can't recommend her daycare enough! read more

Simin's daycare has been a goldmine. We have been with her for five years between three children. Our first child started at 13 months and I was so nervous to send him anywhere. Our third child started at Simin's at 2.5 months old and I knew he could not be in better hands. There has not been a day I worry or a day the kids are not excited to go. How could they not love it, it's like going to the best grandma and grandpa's house all day! The other reviewers do well mentioning all the great things available to the children. Besides all of that, there is so much more. Simin genuinely loves her children and the best part is that they all know that. You will not find a more nurturing place. As a former kindergarten teacher she also implements a lot of preschool curriculum, art, experiments, cooking, projects and music. Our kitchen bulletin board overflows each month with art projects the kids proudly display. While she runs her business with professionalism, she does not do this just for the money as many sadly do. I can't reiterate enough the warmth and love we have found within this daycare. read more

My 3-year-old has been coming here for a year now, and has new extended family now. That's what this home care feels like. Family. I have worked on site to fill for her assistant while away on family emergency leave, and was able to see what the day is really like while the parents are away. The children all treat this space as their own home. They absolutely ADORE Miss Simin and listen so well. The environment is fluid, yet she ensures they children get some structured rug time (for stories, songs, calendar events, etc) as well as time set out for arts and crafts. Lots of arts and crafts!! During free play, the children interact so well with each other and have a real respect for their environment. The secret....they're HAPPY. It's just that simple. The children are happy. :-) Simin is a very maternal figure who cares for your children as if they were her own. She is SO loving, nurturing and patient. Go check it out for yourself. If possible, talk to parents who's children go there. You'll find that many children are there from teeny-tiny babies through pre-k. I think you'll find nothing is more important than the happiness and security of your child...and that is precisely what Simin's home care offers. P.S. Simin's home care has several "filtered" reviews from people who are not active Yelpers. This does not mean that their opinion is biased or false....it just means they don't have a high profile on Yelp, so they've been filtered. I encourage you to read the filtered reviews as well. Happy Yelping! :-) read more

We take our my 4 month old baby boy to Simin and he has never been happier. I know he loves going there every day because he smiles and laughs as soon as he realizes he's going to daycare. When we pick him up, he's always smiling and laughing, and he just loves the other children and they love him too. Simin's is a perfect mix of a home day care and a day care center. Simin has a large playroom with loads of toys and activities with 2 outside play yards on either side. One yard is set up with cars and trains for the children to play and drive around in. The other yard is grassy with trees and often has a little playhouse or bouncy castle. There is a clear separation between the play areas and the home, and the children are allowed to go into both areas, which is perfect because it gives the children the learning classroom feeling with all the comforts of home. Simin always thinks of creative new activities for the children and she keeps the children happy by encouraging their creativity. For father's day, our baby came home with a picture of him and daddy decorated with his tiny little hand prints. The older kids get to do fun crafts and activities and I look forward to when my baby is old enough to join. The children are incredibly well behaved and get along well, which I think has to do with the way Simin speaks to them sweetly, and they listen to her. I've seen several older children come back after they go to kindergarten just because they miss Simin so they come back after school to say hello and get a hug. We couldn't be happier with Simin's homecare, and we are so happy we found her! read more

My 2.5 year old son has been coming here for over a year and we love Simin's. We can't recommend her daycare enough. We heard about Simin's from word of mouth and I think it's a hidden gem. My son loves going to "school" and I am always impressed with what he learns everyday at such a young age. Simin's is not just daycare, she was a teacher before and she has a structured curriculum. Simin provides such a warm, welcoming, loving environment that we feel like we are dropping him off with family. read more

Miss Simin's day care is my kids favorite place on Earth. Both of my kids went to Miss Simin care since they were 8 months old, they are finishing elementary school now and still love to come visit Miss Simin because she and her husband has such pouring of love for kids that is palpable. Simin's magic of keeping discipline through love and wisdom provides a strong foundation for little ones. Kids learn kindness and respect to others through Simin's keen eye and big heart. A fun tradition Miss Simin keeps us to have a Christmas party where all her graduates are invited. It is adorable to see several generations of Simin's children gather around Christmas tree while Simin calls out names to give the presents. They all wait patiently and excitedly for their names to be called because Simin selects presents keeping in mind each child's individuality. read more

Simin's Home Care - They never want to leave when this is out! - Child Care & Day Care Near Me

See all

Home care places vary a lot in quality, but Simin's is one of the best. She takes the best elements of the larger institutional day cares and combines it with the personal attention of home care. By which I mean: - Classroom is bright and airy with lots of art work. It is not her living room, but rather a dedicated room at the back of the house with a kiddie dining/art table, a circular carpet for circle time etc. - Lots of toys and activities - from playing with dry beans/rice with water toys to standard toys and books, Simin invests in having LOTS of stuff to stimulate and interest the kids. From indoor stuff such as dress up, trains, trucks, and animals to outdoor toys such as play stuctures and water slides, Simin has the lot. The classroom opens out into a mid-sized lawn where the kids can run and play in the summer months. - Organized - there is a daily, weekly and monthly schedule, newsletter for parents (so I can ask my son about the theme/topic they are looking at each week), cubby for each kid to put their clothes and blankets, holiday schedule published a year in advance, regular parent participation events such as Mother's day breakfast, parties etc. Simin has really thought out the educational and care aspect of her program, and the kids learn through play. - Creative - the kids do the most amazing yet age appropriate art. And not just once a week, but several times per week. Simin is a former kindergarten teacher and it really shows. They also do stuff like grow plants, keep silkworms and other bugs, etc. Tons of music and songs too. - Small and personal - while larger daycare centers provide all of the above, they usually can't tailor things for one kid. Simin can and does. If my son needs some additional sleep outside of the schedule, or if he needs attention/holding, Simin will provide that. - scale - because the numbers of kids are limited, it has the family feel that larger institutions lack. read more

We are so fortunate to have found Ms Simin's Home Care! She creates a warm, loving and fun environment for the kids as well as the entire family. She always accommodate our requests with understanding and warmth because she truly wants to make it easier for the entire family. Whenever we are there, we are always met with warmth and welcome. Not only does my 2yo daughter love to go there, my almost 6yo daughter even begs to go on her days off from school! She offers many activities throughout the day - art, music, dance, and unstructured play. They have a really nice yard with play structure for the kids to be outside. We often linger at pick up time because her place is so comfortable and fun filled! read more

We have been sending our son to Ms. Simin's since he was 14 months old. He is now 3 1/2 years old. Ms. Simin and her husband absolutely love the children. She treats them as if they are her own. I love the warm welcomes and the flexiblity she gives our family in times of need. Simin has helped us with potty training, nap time struggles and more! We love the holiday parties at her house where she goes out of her way to invite alumnae and current families. My son LOVES Simin and her husband! I would highly recommend Simin to anyone looking for a caring, responsible and fun environment! read more

This place and her owner, Simin, are so great that my almost 7-year old girl always brings up anecdotes of her three year experience. Mrs Simin has a dedicated room for the kids that looks like a real classroom (it is not an improvised space in someones house). It is always clean, super bright with natural light and full of kids art work and projects. She loves all the kids as her own. And treat us parents with same warmth. Whenever there is no class at my daughter's school, smy daughter asks to be taken to Mrs. Simin's for the day. Mrs. Simin is always smiling and welcoming us back to her amazing place. She is a great part of our lives. read more

I would not send my son to anyone else other than Simin and family. She is amazing. She is kind and loving and so knowledgeable about the kids' needs. She is flexible and and gentle, yet also very firm with the kids' behavior. She kindly guides them and always tells them what she expects from them. My son is two and knows his letters and always come home with the most amazing crafts. He runs to her and Bobby and I am so thankful for her. read more

Miss Simin is a hidden treasure! The daycare I used with my older children had closed and when I found out that I was having another baby I searched high and low to find a good fit. I actually found Simin on Yelp, I called to arrange a visit. I knew the minute I walked in that this was the right place for my baby. Simin and her husband are wonderful people! They have created a wonderful place for the littlest of people. Not only do the kids have a wonderful time learning through crafts, playing, imagining, dancing, singing, exploring, and books, but they are all LOVED! I have never had a worry or concern because I know my little one is getting the love and care that she needs. She is excited when it is a "Miss Simin Day". She is always greeted with a hug and never wants to leave when I come to get her. We love Miss Simin and Behrooz! We feel so fortunate to have found the perfect place for our little one! read more

My daughter went to Miss Simin's from the time she was 4 months old until she turned 5 years old and went to kinder. I can't say enough good about Miss Simin and her daycare/preschool. It would have been difficult leaving my daughter anywhere when I returned to work, but all my fears disappeared with the way Simin handled the transition process. She let me spend a day with my daughter there the week before we started so that we both felt comfortable, and it worked. Simin is very loving and creates a community feeling for children and parents. She is amazing with children. She taught my daughter how to share, play well with others, and be a good friend. She is firm, but I can't recall a single time when she lost her temper or composure with any of the kids (and I was around a lot). I admire her patience and special way with children. I learned a lot of good parenting skills just by watching her. As time went by she taught my daughter all she needed and more in prep for kinder. I considered putting her into a more traditional and/or larger preschool when she was 4. I soon realized that she had already learned more than what was expected going into kinder, and she was in an enviornment where she was loved and among good friends. We stayed, and I am glad we did. My daughter loves and is thriving in "big kid" school, but we still go back and visit Miss Simin and our friends there. She gave my daughter a foundation for friendship and education that I am very grateful for. read more
