  • Best decision I could of made in searching for child care as a full time working mom. My son has been going to Cecila since he was 9 months old and he has just turned 3. She is very flexible and accommodating. She is also transparent and informative. My son is very shy and the environment is perfect for him. Even though I live in another small city 15 minutes away, I take the trip every day and it is definitely worth the extra driving. I know that I don’t need to worry about him and that he is in good hands. He is always well fed and eats all her food even though he can be a picky eater at home. He is always happy when I pick him up. The pandemic has been very stressful with small children, but taking him to this daycare has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. Highly recommend!

  • I found this daycare by searching on the internet. I called the number and I spoke with the owner, Cecila Galvez. I am very overprotective of my kids and had never put them in daycare at such a young age, but I had no choice. Ms. Cecila was so warm and offered me references to speak with about her work. I left my 2 month old baby there in April of 2014 and he still attends before and after school and stays there when there is no school. He is always well fed with healthy food and I'm told I can't make Chicken soup like Cecila. My son will be 8 in two weeks and has no plans of leaving. Lol We love Cecila and her daycare. I feel my kid is in the utmost safest hands besides my own. One of the best decisions I made regarding my children.
