We are so grateful for Sunny Daycare! Our two daughters (ages 3 + 1.5) have had so much fun and received wonderful care by Mayra, Sara, and the team. They make amazing food, have weekly music and dance class, and organize generous celebrations for holidays and birthdays. The kids always come home cleaner than if I had been watching them. When our youngest started at 5 months it was such a relief to know she was in loving hands and very safe. Receiving the photo updates every day is a joy and reassuring. Our eldest just graduated to prek but we're happy to still be part of the Sunny community with her little sister and would recommend without hesitation.

The musician and story teller that comes to Sunny Daycare is so incredibly talented. The children just adored him.

By the time I found Sunny Daycare, I was completely and utterly exhausted. Every place we contacted, if they even responded at all, said the exact same thing: "I'm so sorry, we just can't accommodate a baby with medical needs." Ugh. Dagger. To. The. Heart. My 19 month old was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 14.5 months and is one of the youngest little guys on an insulin pump and CGM (which monitors his blood sugar without finger pokes.) It can be very intimidating to care for a baby with a chronic disease like T1D but we have found that as a team, Sunny Daycare has gone above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. The laundry list of over-the-top things they have done for my son could stretch for miles. -They spent time reading and learning about my sons medical devices and juvenile diabetes prior to his first day - They provide him with special low carb snacks (which we know are inherently more expensive) - They purchased to-go lunch plates to send his lunch home in, so that we can better monitor his insulin needs - They always send us pictures of him playing and doing art which I love. - They are teaching him Spanish through music, art, and story We really do believe that Sunny Daycare is where my son was meant to be. He is learning so much and gaining a lot of confidence each day that he attends. To Mayra and Sara: We can't thank you enough for including Gael in everything that you do. We are eternally grateful for your kindness and willingness to take a chance on our little guy. It really does mean the world to us!

BEST DAYCARE EVER!!! It's hard to decide where to leave your child when you have to work & need help, but we are so glad we found Sunny Daycare! From the moment our daughter Jazmine joined, she has grown & learn so much from this incredible place! The owners Mayra, her mother Sarahith, & the ladies that work with them, are all so loving & caring as if the children were their own. They have tons of fun activities for the kids including painting, singing, incorporating music & dance, fun games engaging & paying close attention, learning the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, & all the fundamentals for young kids. To ensure a promising road for their growth. They also celebrate each kids birthday together & holidays as well with special decorations & more! Before our daughter started this daycare program she was having some trouble with her speech, & now she comes home singing an entire range of different kids songs including the alphabet, counting numbers, wheels on the bus, twinkle twinkle & tons more! They have amazing meal plans for the kids with such a healthy diet & follow each kids special needs if there any allergies. The interaction she has with the adults & the kids has helped her so much with development & social skills being in such a nurturing environment. Our daughter is half Hispanic & half white & it is such a plus that they incorporate both languages in daily activities. Their communication is amazing with how they send pictures, videos, & updates everyday. Somedays they come home with special little projects they made. They are so open & willing to work with parents around all our busy schedules. In the previous fake only one star review, Joe's opinion doesn't count, because he never even had a child attend here. They do not overcrowd the kids, they have all the correct licensing & follow all legal practices along with health guidelines. When you sign up, they have you fill out all the proper forms & give you a tour of their procedures. We know all the parents personally who are all incredible families with such amazing children. With such a great diverse mix of kids learning & growing up together. He was just trying to bash a wonderful place for kids. Which is so crucial for our community & especially the parents, helping make our lives easier with a place we can trust. With women that truly treat these kids with so much love & all the skills they need to ensure they grow up into incredible people. Going above & beyond to instill good manors, kindness, education, love & community! If you're looking for a daycare, look no further this is the best one around! If we have another child, we are definitely sending all our kids here to be apart of this amazing sunny family daycare! Thank you for everything you do for our kids, we truly appreciate it & are so happy we chose Sunny Daycare!

The classrooms are well-equipped with age-appropriate Montessori activities, keeping her engaged and offering practice in various subjects like English, Math, Chinese, Science, and Art. She loves her teachers and often talks about them at home. I can see they are doing an excellent job teaching her not just academics, but also good behavior and independence. The teachers organize a variety of well-planned activities and events throughout the year for both US and Chinese holidays. Our family enjoys participating in these events, and we appreciate the many photos and videos shared with parents afterward to capture the memories. Another great feature of Little Tree is the optional lunch program. For $6 a day, they provide a tasty, nutritious, and balanced meal, which is one less thing for me to worry about.

Our two-year-old attended Albany Sunflower Day Care for over a year, and we truly feel so lucky to…read morehave found this place. From day one, Helen has been an incredibly kind, attentive, and patient caretaker. She brings a calm and nurturing energy that our son responded to immediately. Mornings can be a bit of a challenge for us -- he often resists getting out the door -- but the moment he saw Helen, he would light up and completely settle down. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. One of the reasons we gravitated towards Sunflower Day Care is the Mandarin immersion. We don't speak Chinese at home, but after a year, our son developed an impressive understanding of Mandarin and built a solid vocabulary for his age. It's been amazing to see him respond to Mandarin phrases, sing songs, and even surprise us by using words we didn't know he'd learned. The environment at Sunflower Day Care is warm and structured. You can tell Helen genuinely cares about every child and puts so much effort into making sure they're happy, engaged, and learning. We're so grateful for everything Helen and her daycare have done for our family.

His parents highly recommended the daycare. Soon after we found out more about the place, our little one started the program when he was 14 months old. Ms. Helen and her family are wonderful people. A child can feel the loving energy from her right away. Every morning, she welcomes our child and other kids with her positive and caring energy. Our kid has never been sick from going to school and really loved mentioning the names of his friends. Families going to Sunflower show great care about their kids, which makes us feel this is a nice community. We always feel safe leaving our kid in Ms. Helen's care. Her backyard play space is a gem in the city! It never gets too sunny on hot afternoons, and early mornings have lots of sunlight. It would be nice to have more play structures and more naturally padded ground like wood chips or sand like at parks. But still the yard has good air as it is surrounded by big trees. We do not speak Chinese at home but the bilingual experience was valuable. Our kid started to learn and say simple Mandarin words. He will soon forget about Chinese once he stops hearing it but we believe the experience will never leave him. It is a great thing that Sunflower provides lunch. Our kid learned to use utensils very well after attending Sunflower. Ms. Helen can always let us know what was for lunch. In my opinion, if the school can post a lunch menu weekly, moms like me would really appreciate it. Our kid enjoyed his time there every single day! We love Ms. Helen and her little school!

She absolutely loves it here: the delicious food, her sweet friends, and the caring teachers who feel like family. Over the past two years, her language skills (both Chinese and English) have blossomed, and she's always excited to tell us about the fun activities Emma plans so thoughtfully. We especially cherish the photos Emma shares, which give us a glimpse into the joyful, nurturing environment she's created. What stands out most is the close-knit, family-like atmosphere--the children clearly adore each other, and it's heartwarming to see our little one thrive in such a loving space.

I searched far and wide before choosing Emma's - touring the large institutional Montessori ones to the family style centers. Pedagogy was important to me, but what I was really looking for was a place where my child would be loved and cared for, at my admittedly high standards, as much as possible. I feel blessed to have found Emma's, a truly special space where my child has thrived from day one - from mediation and exercise in the morning, to learning how to share with others, from the home-cooked meals, to the one-on-one attention, to the creative daily artwork projects to the fluent singing in Mandarin (a language not spoken in our home!). All of the physical spaces Emma has built for the children are beautiful and creative, fostering that sense of magic and discovery so important for very young children. During the past three years, my child learned to ride a bike at Emma's, learned to write his name, learned to count in Mandarin and Spanish, learned to go potty, the list goes on. I was astounded how every single day for the past three years, at pickup Emma knew exactly what my child ate and how he felt and how he played - and how all of the other children were similarly doing. As a parent, it felt so good to be absolutely secure in the knowledge that my child's needs - whether that's washing hands or staying hydrated or getting comforted after a fall - were seen and met with love every day. Every day, my child would regale me with tales about his friendships, his wonderful teachers, his activities. During pickups, the children would all swarm around to say goodbye. It was the perfect setup and size (10-14 children, 2-3 teachers) for my child to explore personal growth, relationships, and the first touch of community in a safe and joyful environment. I'm so grateful we had Emma and the space she creates and holds for these critical firsts. What Emma has created is so rare and genuine. It was an easy decision to hold off on sending my daughter to formal fancy "preschool" with her brother - we want her to experience another year of growth and joy with Emma. Thank you Emma for all of your extraordinary love and care!

The provider feels like family at this point. The love, patience, and support she pours into our child every single day is something you just can't fake. She's created this warm, fun, engaging little world where every kid feels seen and cared for, and you can tell the kids genuinely adore her. A few things that really set this place apart: the music classes are such a fun bonus and the kids light up during them. She also goes ALL OUT decorating the space with different themes to match what they're learning -- it's adorable and you can tell so much thought goes into it. And the communication is next-level. We get pictures and videos throughout the day, which any working parent knows is everything. If we could keep our kid here forever, we absolutely would. We're so grateful to have found her and trust her completely with the most important little person in our lives. If you're on the fence -- don't be. Your kid (and you) will be in the best hands.

They also have a monthly PJ party so parents can have a date night, which the whole family looks forward to. We really could not recommend Rayito more highly! We truly could not have dreamed of a better place for our daughter to grow and learn.

She also provided healthy lunches every day, which made things so much easier for us as working parents. Most importantly, she always made sure the kids were well-fed, well-rested, and happy.
