  I can not say enough about Helen Lucy Daycare Center. Ms. Donna and staff are warm and kind, they made my daughter feel very comfortable and cared for. Their meal plan is well thought out and nutritious. They taught my daughter a lot of new things to help prepare her for kindergarten. We went from a large chain daycare to this one, and remained here for a little over two years. This daycare was like home away from home for my daughter.

  We couldn’t have been happier with our son’s first daycare experience. From the very first day, Ms. Donna made our whole family feel welcome and at ease, which meant everything since it was our first time trusting someone else with his care. A very special thank you to Ms. Donna — she was truly wonderful. She was patient, kind, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared for each child. She always kept us in the loop with updates and little moments from his day, so we never felt like we were missing out even while at work. We loved watching our son grow so much during his time with her — socially, emotionally, and in confidence. It was obvious Ms. Donna ran her daycare with so much heart. She created a space that felt less like childcare and more like family. We’re endlessly grateful for her and would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for someone truly trustworthy and caring to watch their child. Thank you, Ms. Donna, for giving our son such a beautiful start. We love you 🩷

  We couldn't ask for a better place for our child. From day one, the staff has provided a warm, loving, and safe environment where our child has truly thrived. It genuinely feels like an extension of our home. The staff's attentiveness and care are second to none. Ms. Yulia, Mr. Henry, and Mr. William are so thoughtful, energetic, and dedicated—they truly take the time to understand each child's personality and support their individual growth. You can see how much love and energy they pour into the classroom every day. A special thanks to the owner, Ms. Donna, whose heart for the children and hands-on leadership set the tone for the entire center. You can tell she truly cares deeply for every single child and family that walks through the doors. We’ve watched our child grow so much in confidence, curiosity, and social skills thanks to their wonderful daily routines, creative activities, and continuous encouragement. We are so grateful and highly recommend Helen Lucy Childcare Center to any parent!

  My daughter grew up at this daycare, and I am incredibly grateful to Miss Donna for everything she has done. The food is always delicious, everything is clean and well organized, and the children are well behaved. We absolutely love this place. My daughter is 11 years old now, but we still stop by from time to time just to say hello. ❤️
