  This daycare means so much to so many of us. It’s not just somewhere to drop our kids off , it’s a place filled with love, routine, safety, and real care. Ms. Tinto has put her heart into what she does, and it shows. It hurts to see people speak negatively without even knowing her or stepping inside her daycare. The truth is, if you actually experienced the environment and saw how the kids are treated, you’d understand why so many of us trust her without hesitation. She deserves to be uplifted, not judged from the outside looking in. I just want to clarify something regarding the daycare environment. The windows do stay closed for safety reasons, but there is proper ventilation along with central air and heat. The space is always kept at a comfortable temperature year-round. My children have never had any issues, and I truly appreciate how clean and well-maintained the environment is. Ms. Tinto makes sure the children are always safe and comfortable. It’s really unfair when people make assumptions or leave negative comments without ever stepping foot in the daycare or meeting Ms. Tinto in person. I’ve had both of my children in her care for years, and I can confidently say that she takes pride in keeping her space clean, safe, and welcoming. Anyone who’s actually been there would see that for themselves. It’s easy to judge from the outside, but the truth speaks through the parents and children who are there every day.

  Ms J is a lovely lady two of my granddaughters have attended her day one is now 9 still talks about how much she loves Ms J. My other has special needs sometime won’t nap and this beautiful god given god caring lady stay with my granddaughter playing teaching etc while the others sleep. I love her i appreciate her so much. The negative comment just is not true she is truly is a sweet caring lady and a wonderful care giver for any child. So if you believe in god and have a good heart and respect for your elders who will take care of your babies then this place is home to our children a safe home. No child has ever gotten hurt or deprived of any food, care in any way. This lady is a god sent for our children. Please believe a grandmother that can work because of Ms. J taking my babies in her day care.

Each and everyone of her staff take proper care of our children on a day to day basis Over the years of knowing Ms.Tinto, her RULES has always remained the same . Ms Tinto always believed in going by what the rules were. She still remains the same way Saftey is a must , I can’t stress how much I know Ms Tinto care for the wellbeing of each child that walks in  her doors. Ms.Tinto does the first change in the morning every day FOR ALL CHILDREN !! She’s always wants to ensure on making sure ALL her children remains return the same as they came in .  Ms Tinto knows  if the child is sick, suspicious behavior , marks or  diaper rashes upon arrival , if it’s argent she’s notifying the parents immediately. Children are feed breakfast, lunch ,supper with  snacks and fruits throughout the day. After schoolers are given food as well . Ms. Tinto cooks her food for her children. She may order in at times for her children as well ,But for the most part she stick with her healthy eating habits.

Ms. Tinto understand that certain children are picky eaters , so she works around they preferences and does kids choice , she does not deprive ANY CHILD FOOD,  if a child would like something different , she proceed in giving the child the choice of food or fruit they want to eat.

She changed them in to there comfortable clothes and changes them back into their regular clothes before dismissal time Over the years of knowing Jontae Tinto She’s always been soft spoken, her energy  is always calm and polite, She’s a beautiful woman how you meet her is who she is at all times .

  I do not recommend this daycare for full-time working families or those with children who have autism. The daycare enforces an “8-hour window of care” for certain families, which is highly inconvenient for anyone working standard 9-5 hours. Additionally, the daycare closes at 5:30 pm on Fridays, adding further difficulty for parents with full-time jobs. More concerning is the treatment of children with special needs, who are often singled out and spoken about in front of other children and parents. These are serious issues that parents of full-time working families and children with special needs should take into account.

  I cannot say enough good things about this daycare! They take great care of all the children and put the health and wellness of everyone at the forefront. My son has been attending Children's Brain at work since he was 2 months old. They were referred to me by a daycare by my home, but were full at the time so suggested children's brain at work. It was out my way but well worth the trip. I am very overprotected and worry about everything, but from day one. I have never felt as comfortable leaving my son that was a baby at the time with anyone else but them. The owner Ms Tinto is amazing loving and overall a great spirit, She loves all the kids as her own. my son is now 2 years old and he comes home everyday and surprises me with all the new things he's learned at the daycare. You could not tell that my son was born at 6 months, he talks sing knows his shapes colors, and has conversations as if he was 5 years old. I meant everyone is blown away how smart he is, and it because of children's brains at work. she has been my support my teacher and I would like to say friend. Her knowledge and love for her kids has helped my son stay ahead in what the MD stated he may be behind because he was born early but they were wrong.She has been a blessing to my life and my sons life. we are thankful and love you. I also have 8 year old twins that also attend the daycare after school ,when school is closed and also in the summer days. They also love the way the daycare is ran, it a learning daycare and also feels like home away from home. Everyone who works at the daycare is friendly and great and educated on early childhood development. overall I feel incredible at ease as a parent dropping of my kids everyday, i highly recommend to anyone!
