From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and reassured that our child would be in loving hands...and in a clean environment m. Monica and her staff are not only professional and experienced, but genuinely kind and attentive to each child's individual needs. Our daughter has grown so much in confidence, language, and social skills since starting here.

When we had our son, we spent months searching for the best place for him -- and we were incredibly lucky to find Ms. Monica. From our very first visit, we knew her center was the perfect environment for him. Ms. Monica's center is clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully run. She takes the time to understand each child's unique needs and personality, and her care is full of warmth and intention. We've learned so much from her as parents, and she's played a meaningful role in shaping our son's early years in all the best ways. She also shares frequent updates through the Brightwheel app, which keeps us connected and gives us peace of mind throughout the day. We're so grateful to have found Ms. Monica and would definitely recommend her to others! read more

We found found Stepping Stone in 2021 at the height of a surge and we needed somewhere that took Covid seriously and was clean, yet provided excellent care to our kid and Monica (the owner) is amazing! So much so we sent our second kiddo to Monica and her team for care! read more

We were so appreciative of Ms. Monica's care at Stepping Stones. As parents to a 5 month old, we were naturally very nervous to have our son watched by someone else once returning to work. Monica helped us feel at ease and constantly in the know with updates throughout the day. Her home is impeccably clean and she cares deeply for all of the kids in her care. We highly recommend! read more

Monica is the best! She provided child care for both my kids. The environment is clean and safe, my kids learned a lot, and she helped to foster some of my their first friendships. She communicates well on how your child is doing, provides videos to keep you updated on their day, she is always the first person I recommend when someone is looking for a home daycare for their child. read more

We had an excellent experience with Ms. Monica's daycare! Her home was always spotless, which gave us peace of mind knowing our children were in a clean and safe environment. Ms. Monica communicated wonderfully, always keeping us updated on our kids' activities and any important information. The app that she uses is great in that we see real time updates and photos. She truly treated our children like family, making them feel loved and cared for every day. We also appreciated how she incorporates various learning activities, helping the kids grow and develop in a fun, engaging way. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our children received here! Even though our children are now in Elementary school, we still stay in regular communication with Ms. Monica as our kids still ask to see her. As a reference, our oldest son attended her daycare for 4 years and youngest daughter for 3 years. read more

My kid (3.5) has been with Monica for a year and my 2nd (1.5) about 6 months. They both love school and are learning so much! Plus they have so much fun playing, dancing and doing art. Couldn't recommend highly enough. read more

My daughter attends this daycare and loves it. She's become good friends with the other babies and toddlers, and is always happy when we pick her up. Since she has been there she has exhibited a ton of new skills that are advanced for her current age. I like that the number of children this daycare accepts is small because she gets a lot more attention than she would at another center. read more

My son attends this daycare and he loves it! When I pick him up, he's always laughing and babbling happily about his day. I love the learning curriculum Ms. Monica devises. She has a nice balance of learning, singing, playing outside and dancing. I truly think this daycare is more like having a nanny than it is a daycare. read more

Short version: I am absolutely over the moon happy with this day care. My daughter is doing really well there, and I would recommend Anderson Family Day Care to anyone! (And I do all the time. Anyone who asks gets an earful about how great this operation is.) More information for people who like reading long reviews: I feel so incredibly lucky to have found Monica and Anderson Family Day Care. My daughter has been there for 6 months now, and it has been an overwhelmingly positive experience. When I was on maternity leave, I was a little nervous about starting day care. I wished I could have stayed home for longer, but I had to go back to work. I know a lot of people feel guilty about sending babies to day care, but let me tell you something -- sending my daughter to Anderson Family Day Care has completely changed my mind. Day care is fantastic -- or more specifically, *this* day care is fantastic! My daughter gets so much out of her day. She plays with other kids, they have story time and music time, they get outside, they do activities. She wouldn't get nearly so much out of a day with just me. She is absolutely thriving. As she gets older, it's just going to get better and better. And another great part of Anderson Family Day Care is a service they use called Brightwheel. It's amazing. They update when the kids eat, sleep, pee, etc. (you know), and they post pictures and videos! So whenever I take a break at work, I open the app on my phone and I get to see if my baby is napping, how much of her lunch she ate, and little videos of what she's doing. Not only do I have this incredibly detailed log of her naps and feeding times, but I get to feel connected to her all day. Thank you, technology! It definitely makes it easier. In conclusion: YAY, ANDERSON FAMILY DAY CARE! :D read more

We were so happy to find Anderson Family Day Care as infant care is incredibly hard to find if you can't go the nanny route. My daughter started when she was 3 months old and learned so much from all the fun activities, socializing and comforting environment. I'm a big fan of routine for children, and Monica offers a daily schedule with a loving staff that allowed the children from all different ages to play, eat and learn together. We also appreciated her insight and experience on child-rearing and truly felt like she valued her role as our daughter's caretaker. She also makes a big effort to bring her families (both current and past) together with barbeques and date nights. As a result, her daycare has brought us into a great and delightful community of growing children. Thanks for everything, Monica! read more

My son has been with Monica and Stepping Stone for 3 years. We are now preparing to send our second child. She keeps the kids engaged with learning, art and crafts, water activities and even has Holiday parties. It is a well nourishing and clean environment that I would recommend for any child starting out. read more

Finding the right child care provider for your family is a tough decision, but Anderson Family Daycare (f.k.a. Stepping Stone) made our decision much easier. Monica and her staff truly care for each child and foster a loving environment that is filled with learning and growth. Our daughter loved going each day, made great first-friends, and we could tell she was learning so much. Monica provided constructive feedback that allowed us to continually work on different skills and build healthy habits for our child, as well as celebrate her accomplishments. Even though getting some feedback can be tough as parents, we enjoyed establishing a partnership that allowed us to surround our child with consistency and love. One thing I did not expect from taking our child to Anderson Family Daycare was to join a close community of parents that we've met. Between barbecues, brunches, date nights, and play dates, we have loved each opportunity to connect with other families and share our milestones together. It has been a wonderful place for our entire family. read more

After my former daycare provider had two back to back tragic deaths in her family I needed to find child care as soon as possible. My girlfriends son had been going to Monica for about a year plus and she recommended I send my then 3 and 1 year old to Monica. I meet with Monica the next week and toured her home and saw how clean, organized, and kid friendly her home was. A week later both of my kids started going to Monica. Once my 3 year started Preschool I decided to keep my 1 year old with Monica. My daughter adapted fairly well without her big brother and is learning so much. What I really like about Monica is her daily scheduled/routine - free play, learning/activities, outside play, lunch, etc. She uses an app called Brightwheel which I absolutely LOVE. Monica communicates through the app by showing you videos throughout the day of your child, when they had a wet/dry diapers, and what they ate - snack and lunch. Monica has your child's best interest at heart and it's been a blessing having my daughter there. I would highly recommend Monica to anyone. read more

We LOVE this daycare and could not be happier with the quality of care our daughter has gotten. When searching for a place to send my 1yr old I visited 5 places and Anderson Family Daycare stood out as a place I knew my baby would be well taken care of while being given plenty of stimulation and structure for her to flourish. She's learned so much while there, signs to help communicate, colors, and shapes among other things. We know she'll be more than ready for preschool/kindergarten when the time comes. Monica and Erika are amazing and made the transition into daycare as easy as possible, they even took the lead on weaning my daughter off the pacifier and bottle after I gave them the go ahead to do so. They have an app where I get updates on feeding/potty/sleep schedules and so many cute pics and videos. The house is incredibly clean and organized. Communication is great and we even get monthly newsletters to go over what the kids learned and will be learning. I could go on and on about all the good things, I would recommend this daycare to anyone who asked! They even offer date nights, which any parent can appreciate! read more

Anderson family day care is a hidden gem. My daughter has been going to Mrs. Monica since she was 6 months old. Monica uses an app service so I can keep in touch with what my daughter is doing throughout the day. I can go to work stress free knowing that she is good hands. Monica and Erika love and take care of the children like they are their own. Monica sends out monthly newsletters and is in constant communication with me when it comes to my daughter. If you are in need of childcare, this is place to go! Monica is also very clean and ensures the space is germ free. read more

Looking for a daycare was extremely hard for me. I am a single mother working full time. When I decided to leave Kimora at a child care provider, it was a different one from Anderson Family Daycare. She soon got sick with pneumonia and I instantly took her out. I was in need of help due to the fact I left work for weeks. I couldn't trust just anyone with Kimora, but then I found Ms. Monica. She was literally sent from God. I took a tour at her home, where Kimora would be taken care of most of her days. I was very impressed. Ms. Monica and her staff are very kind, warm hearted people. Her home was VERY CLEAN, and she has plenty of activities for the kids. Kimora has been there for a few months and I can already see the difference in my child. She is learning so much, from singing to dancing, to her alphabets, numbers and colors in just a couple months. Everyday she comes home surprising me with new knowledge. Kimora says things like, "excuse me" "please" and "Thank you". Ms Monica continuously gives me feedback on how I can improve her habits and skills. She also helps me with tips on how I can teach Kimora how to potty train. The best thing about it all is that she is very honest. She tells me when Kimora has been put in time out when she misbehaves, or if she falls and hurt herself, she doesn't keep it from me. Kimora loves her "Ms. Monica."!! I don't plan on leaving Anderson Family Daycare until it is time for Kimora to move on to kindergarten. read more
