Reviewed by Bokai C Jul 2020 5/5 stars

I sent my first kid to Pati's house since she's 15 months old, and now she's 4. My second kid went there since she's 13 months old, and she's 2 now. They have really been enjoying their days in daycare, and always looking forward to go to play with their big friends and little friends. Pati's really good at kids. My first kid is too active, but in daycare she's able to sit down to listen to stories, to have lunch in a good manner. My second kid is a bit shy and has separation anxiety, but she loves to go to daycare and is happy there. Both of them take good nap at daycare, which I am not able to make at home during weekends. My first kid doesn't like the breakfast I make, but wants to go to daycare to have breakfast. Their front yard playground is covered with soft playground foundation materials and their back yard playground is covered with sand. Both of their front and back yard playgrounds are covered with sunshades so I don't need to worry about they get burned by the sun while they are enjoying their outdoor play. My kids have considered their daycare as second home.
