The teachers are uniquely caring, patient, and organized. They've built a warm, safe space where our sons have truly blossomed into more confident, independent, and happy little boys. We chose Sunshine House because my boss recommended it--her son went there 18 years ago! It's amazing that after all this time, the school hasn't lost a bit of its magic or high standards. Thank you to the incredible staff for everything you do for our family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly nurturing preschool.

The smaller scale of home care is so nice especially when they're really little, she is great with babies and toddlers.

It's also a nice location, there's a park nearby and beautiful paths to go walking when we pick her up, my daughter loves to look at all the birds and flowers. Can't recommend her enough!

She is nice, reliable, friendly, flexible, and more importantly you can tell she genuinely cares about the kids and their personalities. She knows their little quirks, teaches them basic life skills like sharing, being nice with others etc that are crucial for when they are older and need to go into school. She also likes to feed them healthy food and do fun seasonal activities with them such as Halloween, Easter etc. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare and would love to return again if the opportunity arises.

We were so sad to pull her out because we could already see how happy she was there and how much she was thriving. Sunshine House was actually her very first experience being in a school setting, and I'm so thankful that it was such a positive one. All of the teachers were absolutely amazing and showed her so much love and care. She was always so happy and excited to go to school, and as a parent, that meant everything to me. I truly believe that because they made her first experience with school so positive, it helped create the love for school that she still has today. A few months later, we were lucky enough to move back, and she has now started kindergarten. Since starting, I've received nothing but compliments from her teacher about how ready and prepared she is! What makes me even happier is seeing how many of the skills Sunshine House helped nurture in her are still with her today. From the way she participates during circle time, the way she interacts with other children, and even the way she advocates for herself, these are all things Sunshine House helped teach and encourage in her. Her kindergarten teacher has been so impressed, and it makes me so happy knowing that so much of what she learned during those few months has stayed with her. I'm just so thankful my daughter had the opportunity to experience Sunshine House. Even though she was only there for a short time, they made such a lasting impact on her. They gave her such a wonderful first experience with school, helped build her confidence, and gave her skills that she still carries with her today. We will always be so grateful for Sunshine House and all of the amazing teachers who loved and cared for her while she was there!

Three years later, I can confidently say we made the right choice. My daughter has been attending since she was two and will be graduating this fall to go to Kindergarten. The growth we've seen in her has been incredible. I truly feel like Sunshine House has set her up for success. The teachers are so warm, supportive, and genuinely care about the kids. They were especially helpful during big milestones like potty training, which made a huge difference for us. Both of my kids absolutely adore their teachers, which says everything. I also love that they offer onsite electives you can sign up for--it's such a convenient and fun addition to their already strong program. Another thing that stands out is how they rotate rooms and toys to keep things fresh and engaging for the kids. Overall, this school has exceeded our expectations in every way. My kids LOVE it here, and we feel so lucky to be part of this community.

We started here during the pandemic. You could only imagine how nervous we were to leave our 6mo old baby with just anyone during this crazy time, but my husband and I had to go to work. Not only did Farzi send us photos throughout the day but she communicated every sniffle and milestone with us to allay any worries. Our son thrived in their routine and this place became his 2nd home. He's celebrated holidays and birthdays with them and she always made it a special event every time. The kids under her care all became super close and still kept touch even after they left. My son stayed with her until he started TK. The teacher was amazed at how much he could already recognized colors, shapes numbers and letters. This was due to the exercises she taught him in her care. We still find any excuse to have him come during summers or school breaks. He misses her fondly and she has become a part of our village.

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!

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!

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!

She cared for both of our children from such a young age, and it is hard to put into words how much she has meant to us. She has always been patient, caring, and thoughtful with our kids. She helped both of them through big milestones (such as potty training!) and was especially thoughtful with our son who has severe food allergies. She took the time to find foods he could eat and made sure he was well cared for and included. Knowing our kiddos were safe, happy, loved, and genuinely cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. I looked forward to all of the photo updates she sent throughout the day - they were like little gold nuggets dropped in our inboxes while we were at work :) Over the years, the boys have come home with so many little treasures and I have a lot of the artwork saved in a box to remind them of this part of their childhood. Saying goodbye is incredibly bittersweet for us, but unfortunately, it's time for both of our kids to start school. If I could keep them at Julie's forever, I so would!! And I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to her children, who spent so much time reading to and playing with our kiddos. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Julie in our kids' lives and cannot recommend her enough to any family looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their children.
