Eva is the best! Caring, well organized, clean. She was my son's caregiver years ago from a baby to age 5. Even now as a young man (20 years old), he stops occasionally to visit with her - she made a lasting impression with him for sure!

Our daughter transferred to Loretta's after having a very negative experience at the other larger daycare in the area. She isn't afraid to go to 'school' anymore, and we couldn't be more grateful for the staff who have helped her to feel safe again.
