  • We loved Just Like Home! Our son attended JLH from 12 weeks-18 months. He was loved and cared for in a safe, fun environment. Staff was great about communicating. The meals they served sounded better than my own lunch. JLH has a 4 star Quality First rating. It is affordable without compromising on quality. We only left because we moved to a different part of Phoenix. It was bittersweet to say goodbye!

  • I remember the best memories of being a kid here Ms.Marie was one of the best people ever on my life as a kid. Her kids were also wonderful. I’m not in my 30s and I always talk about Ms.Marie. Definitely had a very positive impact in my life. I sure hope shes doing well in life. The best teacher we had there was Ms. Vanessa she even taught us sign language.

  • I made the mistake of changing my son’s daycare to one that was closer to our new home once we moved. That lasted about a week, and I brought him back to just like home. The staff is awesome, they’re very attentive and my son loves all of his friends and teachers. I’ll drive the extra distance to make sure I have peace of mind and confidence in who is caring for my son.

  • Just Like Home Day Care has been a fantastic experience for our family! The staff is incredibly caring and professional, making our kids feel safe and loved. The facilities are clean and filled with engaging activities that have helped our kids development. Communication with the caregivers is excellent, and their passion for what they do is evident. We're grateful to be part of the Just Like Home family!

  • My little one started attending at 4 months old. All of her teachers have been amazing. I love that I’m able to go see her on my lunch break. She is always well taken care of and there has been great communication even regarding my little one’s development's.

  • We joined Just Like Home when our kiddo was just 3 months old, after my paternity leave was over and I had to return to work. This can be a stressful transition for any first-time parent, especially post-Covid. Ms. Gabby and the Infant Class team made the experience very rewarding, going above and beyond our expectations for a daycare center, helping us to stay on track with developmental milestones and checking in with us on any observations they made throughout the day and potential questions for our pediatrician during his visits. They helped him learn to hold his bottle on his own during feeding (such a big help when trying to get us ready for the work and school). They help us get those crucial tummy time hours. They even helped us transition to solid foods, making the process way less stressful at home! On top of all that, they really seemed to try and send him home fed and with a fresh diaper (depending on his feeding schedule), which made getting home from a long day at work and juggling evening activities much easier. We recommend Just Like Home to any new parents, looking for options for their back to work transition.
