Redwood City Family Child Care

We have been a Barb's home daycare family for 2.5 years and couldn't be happier. Our son is 3 years old and our daughter is 6 months. They both love seeing Barb and playing with the other children. She has created a tight-knit, family atmosphere that makes me feel extremely comfortable leaving my two little ones every day. Barb and her aides make the most delicious smelling home-made lunches and the kids have access to a gated yard with turf for playground play and the driveway for scooters, chalk, running etc. She has worked hard to adapt and adhere to Covid safety policies so we feel very safe in her bubble. Logistically, she is very close to the 101 (Marsh Rd exit) which made for easy drop-off and pick-up pre-Covid. If you are looking for an fun, affordable, family atmosphere for you and your little one, Barb's is amazing!

Mayra is amazing and has been a great caregiver to our daughter for the last two years. Our 2.5 yr old has learned so much. I wish mayra would move to LA with us and continue to care for our child. I highly recommend this daycare.

My son and I knew Susanne, the daycare owner, when he attended preschool/daycare at HeadsUp in Palo Alto. This program followed many Montessori principles and routines for the children. I removed my son because I wanted more out door sensory experience and less desk work/ worksheet for my 4 year old. My son attended another big play base program which he was slow to warm up. With COVID and the closures of many schools and big day care programs, I called Susanne and transferred my 4.5 year old her home care program. What I like about her program: small size with great personal attention given to the my son; experienced teacher providing quality sensory developmental toys and activities; structured routine; lunch and snacks provided with veggies included; a park across the street for out door to play time. My son loves his new daycare. I love the fact Susanne has professional preschool teaching experience at a larger daycare and was a teacher in her home country and teaching is natural to her. My son is much happier at the smaller size home daycare.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Little Steps Daycare! We decided to search for a small program that would provided highly personalized care for our toddler age daughter last summer. Yvonne responded promptly to our email, and a few days later, we went over for a tour. We felt instantly at ease in her company, and we absolutely loved both the indoor space and outdoor play area. There are plenty of toys and the outdoor area is well stocked with little climbers, slides, and houses. We also loved the fact that our daughter would be exposed to another language. Over the last nine months our daughter has spent weekday mornings at Little Steps. The teachers are incredibly warm and caring. The way they interact with the kids is just very endearing...it's like they're family. All meals are prepared from scratch. And, they take great care in making sure our daughter, who has very selective eating habits, always has hot meals that she enjoys. Additionally, they taught her how to count in English and Spanish, how to read numbers, and the colors in both languages. They are currently working on telling time, days, weeks, and months. It's very impressive. Our daughter just turned 2.5 and she's well prepared for the nursery school she is starting this month. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this program. If you're looking for a safe, kind, and warm space for your child to learn, grow, and play...this is it. We will greatly miss Yvonne and her program.
