Community Praise
My daughter has been at this daycare since she was just 10 months old, and from the very beginning, they treated her like family. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and communicative, always keeping me updated on her day and progress. I always felt safe leaving her there, knowing they took every precaution to protect and care for the children. They nurtured her strengths, supported her growth, and even helped me with potty training. The kids enjoyed fun, creative activities and were always celebrating something—there was never a dull moment! They provided so much enrichment and joy every day. My daughter absolutely loved being there, and we are so grateful for the wonderful care she received.

She treats every child like family, taking time to understand their individual needs, personalities, and interests. The space is clean, organized, and filled with fun learning activities that encourage creativity and social skills. I love how Auntie Lana balances structured learning with plenty of playtime, outdoor activities, and hands-on projects. She also keeps us updated throughout the day, which gives so much peace of mind. What really sets Auntie Lana apart is her genuine care—she’s patient, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to make sure every child feels happy, secure, and confident. We’re so grateful to have found Auntie Lana’s Daycare. It’s more than just childcare—it’s a warm community where kids thrive!
