Care Member says "Irina and Alona run the most wonderful, warm, and loving family daycare! My son ran there with joy every morning and came home happy, full, and tired from all the great activities. Irina is so hands-on, and the homemade food they cook is delicious. It honestly felt less like a daycare and more like leaving him with family or a caring grandmother. We moved away and miss them terribly. I cannot recommend them enough—5 stars!"
