Our daughter has attended Diki continuously since the summer of 2024, first in the infant classroom and now the toddler classroom. She has thrived during her time there. We've been very impressed with how Diki is managed, and how they treat the children in their care. The director Chimmi is extremely hands on, and she does an outstanding job of communicating with the parents. Whenever we have a problem like our child refusing to nap, or eat her lunch, the team communicates proactively and works with us to find a solution.
Josh BradshawApr 8, 2026I had a great experience at Diki when my child was enrolled. The staff is caring, considerate, and my child's social and language skills improved greatly. They even helped us to potty train when I was having trouble. My daughter was fully potty trained before her 3rd birthday due to the staff and their assistance, particularly Ms. Aristine and Ms. Elay. My child's would often hug her teachers upon arrival and dismissal ! Chimmi communicated well and was always there supporting her staff and the families. The facility is very clean. The prices were very reasonable and affordable considering the high income area in which it is located. I would highly recommend Diki for families looking for quality childcare.
Khadijah LMar 31, 2026Diki has been the perfect daycare for our infant daughter. As a pediatrician myself, I was very picky when it came to choosing a daycare and I can comfortably say that our daughter is thriving at Diki. I feel so comfortable that she is loved and well cared for with her amazing teachers and the kind and gentle culture that Chimi creates. She is learning so much and always seems to be happy at school. Couldn’t recommend Diki enough!
Olivia LarkinNov 22, 2025My 6 month old has been enrolled at Diki for two months now and we are absolutely loving it! The staff (Ms Nexi and Ms Maria in the “butterfly” baby room) could not be more caring and conscious of our daughter’s needs. Childcare is a HARD job and I appreciate how genuinely they love and enjoy each baby and their unique personality. We receive updates on her eating, sleeping and activities throughout the day which is a huge reassurance as new parents. We also appreciate their openness to part time daycare which is what we needed as I work part time. We are looking forward to keeping her at Diki until she can start preschool!
Rachel BlackMar 13, 2025We have been sending our daughter to Diki for six months now and my wife and I could not be happier. The team there has put us at ease since day one, this is our first and only daughter so going into daycare was a nervous time. Chhimi, Ms. Nexi, Ms. Maria and Ms. Bianca quickly calmed our nerves through their care and attention. They constantly update us through the app, which is always welcomed to see our girl having a blast with the team there (many times I am jealous I am not having fun with them). We have personally recommended Diki to friends that are expecting their first child and as I hear stories from other friends or families I often feel lucky to have found Diki. I can only share positive stories about Diki and the team, they have our daughter and every other child's best interest at heart. When we looked for a place, we wanted a place that would care for our child and I am very proud to say Diki is this place. We have been invited to several fun moments with other families, recently we enjoyed Jim Jam, and it was great to see other mom's and dad's with their children mingling with the teachers. If you are questioning Diki, don't, you will be happy you joined their family.
Chris DeMiliaMar 13, 2025My daughter has been going to Diki for 6 months and we have been so happy with the experience! She loves going each day and clearly has benefitted so much from the environment there— the teachers are all extremely caring and thoughtful- we get updates all day about what activities they are doing- it’s so nice to see how happy the kids are and to see them doing things that are supportive for their development! It was extremely evident right away that our daughter was learning and benefitting from the environment - her skills and milestones rapidly improved after starting, and it’s clear she has learned from the teachers and other kids. The teachers have also been so helpful and flexible with us - there were a few occasions when we knew we would need to do late pickup and they were very accommodating. As she has progressed through different stages (eg: adapting to solid food, switching to sippy cups, dropping naps), they have been partners with us in navigating these changes. We truly could not be happier with our experience and recommend Diki to all our friends who are looking for a daycare center in Cambridge :)
