Lina L. says "My son first went to Sunflower (formerly Granny Teresa) when he was 15 months old. I had interviewed Mayza/toured her in-home licensed daycare a month prior to his start date and knew immediately it was a good fit for my son because we connected spiritually and philosophically for the well being of our families.

Soroor is incredible with the little ones, and I know my daughter (graduating to preschool in a month) will miss her terribly. It's a testament to Soroor and the love she's provided that kids often…
