Ramya X. says "The daycare was very nice, very homey. They took care of the kids very well, provided great food, and made sure my kids got good food and kept us informed. It became more like a family rather than a daycare, and the kids were very happy. The kids still visit now, even though they went a while back. They would ensure the families come together to get to know each other to build the connection for the kids; it made us all feel more connected. "
