My son was cared for by Guilla and her family from 3 months old until he was 20 months. The most difficult part of moving away from Chicago for our family was removing him from Guilla's care. The children were fed healthy, home-cooked meals, were kept clean and neat (they even brushed his teeth!) and were taught age-appropriate skills. On top of that, because Guilla is bilingual, my son was able to respond to basic commands in Spanish at a young age. Aside from the educational basics it was very clear that my son was loved and treated like part of the family. We have been through a couple daycares since (both in home and commercial here in Colorado) and nothing comes close to the confidence, safety, security and warm fuzzies I felt leaving my son in Guilla's care. We miss them dearly and I cannot recommend Brandon's Day Care Home enough.

Guila and her family took great care of my son. He has food allergies and eczema but he never had any issue there. Guila arranged full activities and taught him slide safely. Guila is very patient and always tries to let the kids have fresh air and go outside on daily basis. We are very grateful for her help and support!

Brandon's Daycare was highly recommended to us by my colleagues. My husband and I are forever grateful for the 3 years our son THRIVED in the loving, structured environment created by Guilla and her family. Guilla and her family's love for the children in their care is felt through the home-cooked meals they serve, the engaging activities they plan, and their consistent communication with families. We still keep in touch with them and they are part of our family!

Our son went to Brandon's Daycare for a little over a year, from 9 weeks old- 14 months. We absolutely loved and trusted Giulla and Cece with our son. They were loving, caring and fun. They had the daycare set up in the basement to separate daily life from daycare. They would send me pictures of my son when I was at work or out of town. They cooked delicious, nutritious meals vs normal daycares that have bulk, prepackaged foods. The only reason we left them was that we moved 45 minutes outside of the city. If we were closer I would have figured out how to make it work. They are genuine people, with a wonderful family that we still keep in touch with. I highly recommend Brandon's to anyone looking for a small, in home daycare!

My son went to Brandon's Daycare for close to two years. He looked forward to every day he spent there. Guilla and Cece are so loving with the kids, and the food is home cooked and delicious. My son has some physical disabilities. Guilla took the time to provide him with the extra care he needed. We were so lucky to find them!

Short of being able to stay at home with your young child, there is nothing better than being able to drop her off with people that treat her like family. This was our experience with my daughter, now 5, who attended Brandon's Day Care for a over a year. She was nourished - body, mind, and soul - and we are so grateful to have found Guilla during such a critical time in our daughter's development.

Our daughter enjoys going to Brandon's Day Care each and every day! This day Care is a stable family run with no turn overs. Our daughter has developed trust with all the folks there since she sees the same care takers daily and we didn't once have to worry about our daughter. We are assured that she is in good hands for that we are so very thankful to their family!

We looked at few other places and this place was by far the best and we fell in love with them instantly! They provide nurturing and caring environment for all the kids. The adult to child ratio is small so our child receives individual care and attention, which was one of the main criteria that we were seeking in a day care.

We are able to see glimpse of our child's day through the pictures that send us. They engage the kids with tons of indoor and outdoor activities. They also make great organic home cooked meals and our child has enjoyed every bit of it. They are happy to answer all our questions either at the beginning or the day of the day.

The daycare is flexible and they were so kind to accommodate our schedule for the past two years. Thank you Guilla, Cecci and Suzanne for everything. We strongly recommend this day care and would love to give them a 5+ star!

We used Brandon's day care for our son and daughter for for more than 2 years. We were thrilled to find such competent and compassionate people to care for our children.

Guille looked after both my babies from 3 months to 3 years. They are now 9 and 7 and still miss and talk about them. We consider them family because they treated us as family. Such a warm, nurturing home and so much experience which was such a comfort for new parents. I cannot recommend Brandon's Day enough and am so grateful for our experience there.

I can't even begin to describe how lucky we feel to have found Brandon's Daycare. They are everything and more you would want in an environment for raising your children. Kind, responsible, knowledgable, attentive, caring, communicative...the list could go on and on. We sent both of our children here from 12 weeks to 4 years old and as many others have said, Guilla and her family have become like our members of our own family. The kids simply adore her (and yes, her home cooking) and have nothing but amazing memories from their time there. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could! Highly recommended!

My two kids attended Brandon's Day Care from approximately 8 months of age until they were 3 years old. Guille and Ceci were amazing caregivers and our kids remember their time there as happy and joyous. They also loved the hot lunch provided daily!

We have been so happy to have our daughter at Brandon's Daycare for the past year. It was a difficult process to find a daycare that we truly felt comfortable with, but Guilla made us feel at home right away and nurtures and cares for our daughter just like family. The food is delicious and home cooked and I have even used some of her recipes because my daughter loves them so much! Guilla, Sessy, and Susana also keep the kids engaged each day with art activities, playing outside, and introducing new books and toys so the kids are not bored. The kids also learn a lot, such as counting, singing, and are given many chances to practice fine and gross motor activities. The adult to child ratio is better than what you find in many larger daycare centers since there are 3 adults with the children. Guilla and family truly love children and care for them in a way that make you feel like family. I highly recommend them!

Our family loves Guilla, her family and her daycare! It was very tough choosing a daycare for my 12 week old baby, but Guilla and her mom took such good care of her that I was able to go back to work with ease. I sent my next two children there as well, and had the same great experience. My kids who are 9,7 and 5 now, still ask to see Guilla and have the best memories from her daycare. They regularly ask for her cooking too! I would highly recommend Brandon's Daycare, it's a truly loving and nurturing environment.

I only have positive feedback as Guilla has taken care of both of my daughter's when I went back to work FT. She has children on a productive schedule everyday and it was a great contribution in establishing nap times. Fine motor skills are built with coloring, cutting, buttoning, zippers, eating; there's story time and children work on letters, writing their names and counting. Weather permitting, children are taken outside daily. I also love that she sends pictures, takes time to give me daily feedback and makes healthy meals (better than mine!). My oldest daughter had a solid foundation and a love for learning when she entered Preschool. Overall, we consider Guilla and her team family and I trust her to watch my girls on the rare night out. We only left because we moved to the burbs. We miss her!

Wonderful daycare. I can't say enough. It was so difficult to part with my 12 week old and they eased my fears and took her on like their own. They continue to love my children like family. They raised my now 5 year old and currently have my 2 year old. My oldest still asks for their home cooking. The added touch of sending pictures periodically gives me a glimpse of their day and puts a smile on my face every time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!

Our 15 month old has been going here for 9 months. She loves it and is always happy when we pick her up. They serve home cooked food and take the kids outside to play all the time. It is a very loving environment and we plan to send our second child here too!
