Care Member says "Our daughter has been going to Maryam for more than two months now. We started daycare right as she turned one. Of course it was very hard (she’s our only child, and started daycare right as separation anxiety was peaking). Maryam handled it beautifully. The first few days she sent very frequent updates so we could see that our daughter was doing OK after drop off and throughout the day. After a week or two, our daughter was happy to see Maryam in the mornings, and now that…

Sashi *. says "I have videos of how my son walks into the center—when he gets there at start time, he doesn't even look back.
