Mattie has taken exceptional care of our twin girls for a year and a half. I can tell how much they enjoy their daycare by their smiles and laughter on their faces when I pick them up. I have always been extremely impressed by the cleanliness of her facility - she has a nice covered outdoor area and a padded indoor area with reading nook, organized toys and eating area. She has fun holiday and birthday parties for the kids and I always love getting pictures with everyone playing together or dressed up for Halloween. Mattie was also accomodating when we had family health situations where we needed a little extra care than our normal schedule. We also worked in coordination with Mattie on potty training transition. If you are considering Moonlight Daycare - your little one(s) will be in great care!

We are so thankful for Ms. Mattie and Moonlight daycare and would recommend them to anyone needing care! We have been with Ms. Mattie for over 15+ months and the only reason we are leaving is because we are moving out of San Diego county. You can tell Ms. Mattie truly loves the kids and the kids love her. My son had no troubles transitioning to daycare with Ms. Mattie and to this day when I drop him off, he walks right in and goes straight back to play with his friends with barely an acknowledgement that mom or dad are leaving. It makes being away from him and working all day much easier; knowing he feels safe and has a great time with Ms. Mattie and his friends. Moonlight is exceptionally clean and has a great large indoor and outdoor play area for the kids. We are going to miss Ms. Mattie and Moonlight Daycare when we leave San Diego and can only hope we find someone as special as Ms. Mattie near our new home!

Our family is so lucky to have found Mattie! She is one of the warmest, most caring people. Immediately you can feel how much she cares about children. She's made our daughter feel comfortable and secure and gives our family a sense of relief that she is in great hands!

The daycare is bright, clean and inviting.
Mattie is extremely hygienic, the crib sheets are always freshly laundered, and every surface is sanitized on a daily basis.
They have a private sunny backyard and the children get to go out and play every day.
Children also enjoy singing, arts and crafts and other developmentally-appropriate activities that they enjoy and help get them on track for kindergarten.

I could go on and on, heaping praise for Moonlight Daycare, but I don't want to be too long-winded :-) In sum, this place is excellent and we're glad our daughter gets to be part of this daycare.

My son has been going to Mattie's Moonlight Daycare since he was 7 months old. He reached a lot of milestones under Mattie's care. He learned how to roll, crawl, stand up, walk, and speak. Now he is 2 years old. He is happy and healthy. He has a lot of friends in daycare. Every morning that I drop him off, he jumps out of my arms and walks blissfully inside. When I pick him up, he is always content and well fed. Another thing that I like about Mattie is that she maintains a high standard towards cleanliness. She keeps the daycare and the kids clean. With this positive experience, we will continue entrust our dear son to Mattie.

I want to share my amazing experience with Mattie, she has been wonderful with my little one and with me! I'm a new mom so I'm still learning and she has always been super nice and helpful to guide me when I needed advise, and my little one loves her! He extends his arms every morning to get to Mattie's arms. I can see how my baby has a more regular nap schedule and how he has improve when having his food all because of Mattie! I would my baby to stay with Mattie always! But we are moving so we are sad we are going to leave Mattie. I really want to recommend anyone looking for an amazing daycare to look for moonlight daycare, Mattie has been a blessing since we start taking my baby with her! Thank you!!

We love Miss Mattie! We highly recommend Moonlight Daycare! Our daughter has been with Miss Mattie since she was almost 5 months and has been with her for over a year now. Being new parents, my husband and I were nervous putting our daughter in daycare at such a young age, but Miss Mattie was so supportive and loving, we knew our daughter would be in great hands.
Miss Mattie keeps everything clean and safe, which was also something important in choosing a daycare. She teaches kindness and respect. She has seen our daughter reach so many milestones and always offered to help along the way (hold her bottle, crawl, walk, eat solids). Our daughter loves all the indoor/outdoor activities and all Moonlight daycare offers.
If we have any questions Miss Mattie is always a text or call away. We are always in constant communication. Our daughter loves Miss Mattie and she always leaves Moonlight Daycare with a smile.

I would give 10 starts if I could! Ms. Mattie is a wonderful caregiver to both of my daughters, aged 1 and 3. I trust her and her experience and my girls could not be happier. Thank you Ms. Mattie!

Ms. Mattie has been a staple in our lives ever since our son was 8 months old. He will turn 3 tomorrow and we couldn't be happier with his time at Moonlight Daycare. As a first time parent, I was pretty anxious about returning to work and leaving my son with anyone. I had looked around awhile and saw some qualified people and organizations in the area but didn't feel comfortable with them. I was worried until we met with Ms.Mattie. She is very clean and that right off the bat made me feel so much better when she asked us to please remove our shoes before entering. Her place inside and out in the backyard is super clean with many well kept toys to play with. She has a great curriculum for the kids, lots of books, educational toys, and a big alphabet poster that she invites the little ones to sing everyday. Our son has become a little singing, dancing, and counting machine.
I can see his personality growing and it is graciously embraced by Ms. Mattie. She is so loving, very clean, has a wealth of knowledge which helped help us first-time parents. She cooks delicious, healthy meals for the kiddos and she is also a register daycare with the state. While our son loves chocolate, he opted to eat carrot sticks and broccoli at Halloween (fir a second year in a row... who is this kid?). I have a major sweet tooth and my husband only eats vegetables if I make them, so I can only attribute his love of veggies to the great habits at daycare.

We love Ms. Mattie and so does our son. He is always excited to go to daycare. He has learned a lot over these few past years and is constantly surprising us. She has a great method to tech good habits and our son is becoming a kind, smart, funny and sociable little person. I highly recommend Moonlight Daycare.

Mahttie is the absolute best. She is so amazing with my little boy and has been for the past 2 1/2 years. I've never had a problem with her and she loves my little boy just as much as I do. As a single mom it's hard for me to trust anyone with my only child, but with Mahttie I feel completely at ease leaving him with her during the week while I work. When he is disruptive and aggressive, as most little boys are, she disciplines him appropriately and listens when I ask about his day, she tells me about all of the fun and learning he's had all day. He loves going and seeing his friends and I know he's safe in her care. With this new era that is COVID-19, her concern for all of the kids and their parents are obvious, and does everything in her power to keep the kids healthy. Mahttie is the best daycare I could ever ask for.

Miss Mattie took care of my youngest son from when he was 18 months - 3 years old. She was awesome and very communicative about my son's development and helped alleviate any concerns that came up. My son loved going to her house every day the friends he made there. The only reason we left is to start preschool. Would highly recommend her to others. (Her location is super convenient too - near the freeway, police station, and a large shopping center with grocery store.)

Ms. Mattie is wonderful!! Our daughter Maya started going to her day care when she was 7 months and now she's 17 months. She loves Ms. Mattie! What we like the most about her is that she gets to know every child by who they are and gives them personalized attention. She knows and respects every aspect of our daughter's personality and help her to learn and develop in a easy and fun way. We highly recommend Ms. Mattie if you are looking for a truly loving and caring Day Care.

We love Mattie! She is a very kind and caring lady and an amazing caregiver. She took care of my kids for about 2 years, starting from when they were 6 months old and 3 years old. She truly enjoys taking care of children. Her house is also immaculately clean and neat and has a very nice outdoor play area for the kids. She is very organized and I like that she has a daily schedule which includes time to play outside everyday. We have since moved out of state but the kids ask about her often. She is so sweet! She never forgets the kids birthdays. I can't say enough good things about Mattie, she is simply amazing and I highly recommend her!

My daughter has been going to Mattie's daycare for a year and a half now. We have been very happy with how our daughter has grown and blossomed in Mattie's care. She has learned good manners, in addition to letters, numbers, and music. Mattie maintains a clean and fun learning environment. She is caring and has a great understanding of child psychology. In fact, I have learned some great parenting techniques from her! She is kind, firm, patient, and loving to the kids in her care. And she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of not just the kids but the whole family. I highly recommend Mattie and Moonlight Daycare!

Ms Mattie has been taking care of our son since he was 10 months old and he's now 3 years old. We are incredibly happy with Mattie and the social skills that she instill in our son while he has been with her. He comes home happy and always enjoys being at daycare. Our son is now moving on to more of a school setting but we will always be grateful for the time that Mattie has taken care of our son. I highly recommend Mattie!

Ms Mattis has been taking care of my daughter for the past one and a half year. I can't say enough good things about Ms Mattie and her family care.
She is very dependable, Trustworthy, and loving. My daughter loves to go to her daycare in the morning and wouldn't go home without giving her a hug in the evening. My daughter learned a lot both in manners and also in knowledge since she first started here. I am often surprised by something that she learned but I didn't aware of.
Ms Mattie is always try her best to improve her daycare from toys and activities, and always try her best to accommodate us when we need extended hours.
I would highly recommend her daycare to anyone who needs a safe, caring, and learning environment for your kid.

Moonlight Daycare has been a true blessing for us as we don't have any family in San Diego.
Matti is incredibly caring and creates an environment of respect and exploration for the kids.
She loves children and her passion to teach shows in her ability to provide a fun and meaningful learning environment.
I was so impressed when I first met Matti on how clean and organized the environment was and how focused she is on nutrition and learning as well as having fun.
She has so many activities for the kids and makes everything so fun that they don't even realize how much they are learning. My 23 month old son knows his alphabet and numbers and I find him singing or repeating information he learns (so so cute)
As a first time mom, I go to Matti for advice as she is full of experience and knows what she is doing. I, myself learn a lot from her advice and use it at home
I would highly recommend Moonlight Daycare to anyone.

I can't say enough how good Mattie is. We were impressed from the first time we visited her daycare, so clean and organized at the end of a day with that many kids under her care. Mattie loves children and that caring for them is her first priority. We knew we found the right place and we can be comfortable leaving our little one under her care. Over time, Mattie just kept proving our first impression was right. My little one always came home clean, full (eat and sleep at regular time) and happy. Mattie knows him like a best friend, what he's good at, what he should learn next, she kept us informed and involved. Mattie promotes healthy social interaction between the kids and teaches them many cute songs. We feel so blessed we have found Mattie and I highly recommend her daycare to any parents.

Mattie is amazing. She cared for our son for a year and half before he started preschool. She treated him like he was her own son. My son absolutely adored her. She was always very accommodating when we had last minute deadlines at work and was always willing to let my son stay longer when needed. When my older son's school was closed she also watched him for us which was a huge help. We can't thank her enough for all that she has done for our family. We highly recommend her. We would give her a million stars!! You will love her and so will your children!! She will always be a part of our family. Thank you Mattie!! You're the best!!

Absolutely love Ms. Mattie!
She takes amazing care of my little one. My 2yo had morning hassle for a few months as he only comes here on Wednesdays. During the difficult time, she welcomed him with the arms and did wait for the time he can say bye to mom from himself.
My boy is always waving hands to Ms. Mattie's house everytime we pass the road and talks me what he did at there.
Ms. Mattie is very patient and truly loves children.She is always thinking the best of kids, trying to support healthy development of them. I am lucky to find her and extremely happy with the care and the love my child received.

We had the pleasure of having our son start with Matti at 5 months of age. We were coming off of very bad experiences with a nanny and another home-day care and she accepted our son with the biggest, warmest arms. Matti LOVES children so much. She has worked with us to establish healthier sleep patterns, helped my son transition to solids and off the bottle, and has been with him from sitting up, to crawling and now walking. Matti is truly a member of our family and the smile on my son's face when we go up to her front door says it all. I very highly recommend Matti to care for anyone's child.

I love Mattie! She is a very kind and caring lady and an amazing caregiver. She takes care of both my kids, a 6 month old and 3 year old. You can tell she really likes to take care of children. Her house is also immaculately clean and neat and has a very nice outdoor play area for the kids. She is very organized and I like that she has a daily schedule which includes time to play outside everyday. My son was transitioning to solids when he started daycare and it was hard at first to think about going back to work because he is not an enthusiastic eater and I was worried that he wouldn't eat enough. Mattie told me not to worry and she was right! She takes amazing care of him, he is napping well, plays a lot and he is eating amazingly well and has become so active and strong! My daughter loves it there too. When she sends me a photo of the kids while I'm at work I see them happy and it totally makes my day! I can't say enough good things about Mattie, she is simply amazing and I highly recommend her!

He really loves Matti which is very evident when he gives her a big tight hug every morning he sees her. I highly recommend Matti's day care.

We found Mattie after bad luck with our first daycare. Mattie welcomed our daughter with so much love. She took the time to help our daughter (6 months at the time) adjust to her new surroundings and was very patient in helping her overcome her separation anxiety. Mattie has been able to get our daughter to take a bottle, something our daughter doesn't particularly enjoy. She is very child focused as is evidenced by the fact that our daughter is smiling when I drop her off and is smiling when I pick her up. Mattie's house is very clean. The children have a spacious area to run around inside as well as outside. I feel very comfortable being away at work as I know my daughter is in good hands.

Miss Mattie is so kind! We switched our baby from a large daycare to Miss Mattie's smaller in-home daycare and since then she's been eating more and napping more. She seems extremely happy and within the first week, our baby has grown so much by just being with Miss Mattie. We are thankful we found her and glad our baby can now have the attention she needs to learn and grow.

I've known Mahtab for 10 years now. Around 3 years ago, I started my home day care, and any time Mahtab was free, she would come over to help me out - purely out of a desire to be with the children. She was not payed at all. She loved helping me out more than anything and this showed with her interactions with the children and the children's love for her. She is very knowledgeable in how to treat the children.

Once you take your child to Mahtab, you will see 110% the same that I see of Mahtab. You will see how deeply she cares for the children and how skilled she is at making sure your child's needs are exceeded beyond anything you would hope for. Her daycare itself is so clean and beautiful. I strongly strongly recommend Mahtab for care for your child.
