  We are extremely happy with this daycare and the care they provide. Ms. Leah is very attentive and truly cares about the children. My daughter has learned so much since attending. They do many fun and educational activities like crafting, painting, and so much more, which has helped her grow and learn every day. I also really appreciate the healthy food options they provide. I feel confident and comfortable knowing my daughter is in a safe, loving, and positive environment. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for excellent care.

  We are so grateful for the wonderful care and support provided at this daycare. Ms. Leah have been incredibly kind, patient, and nurturing to my daughter. Over the months, we’ve seen such positive growth in her confidence, learning, and social skills. The environment is safe, welcoming, and filled with love — exactly what every parent hopes for. Communication has always been clear and thoughtful, and we always felt reassured knowing our child was in such caring hands. Thank you for treating my daughter like family and for playing such an important role in her early development. We truly appreciate all your efforts and highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and supportive place for their child.....

  Clapping Hands Daycare is such a special place, and Ms. Leah is truly one of a kind. From the moment we stepped in, we felt the warmth and love that fills this daycare. It’s not just a place where kids go to spend the day—it’s a place where they grow, laugh, and feel completely cared for. Ms. Leah is absolutely amazing. She has a heart of gold and a way of connecting with every child that makes them feel so special. She’s patient, kind, and always full of energy. The kids light up when they see her, and as a parent, that’s the best feeling in the world. It’s clear how much thought and care go into everything they do here. Whether it’s creative activities, playtime, or those sweet little moments of learning, Ms. Leah and her team make it all feel so natural and fun. We feel so lucky to have found Clapping Hands Daycare—it’s like a second home for our family. Thank you, Ms. Leah, for everything you do!

  There aren't enough stars to describe how amazing Ms. Leah is with the children. My 2 daughters have been at Clapping Hands Daycare for over a year now and they continue to love going there every day. They feel more at home then at daycare here. Not only do they have fun playing, dancing, exercising, baking, crafting, going outside on walks or to the park with Ms. Leah but they also work on their introduction to education providing the comfort that my daughter will enter school with the groundwork to jump right in. I have also been told almost daily that Ms. Leah makes the best food, providing 2 meals and snacks daily. Ms. Leah provides love, support and care for the children and has the patience of a saint. The daycare itself is always clean and constantly stocked with new toys/activities for the children that promote both fun and learning.

  My daughter is a pandemic baby and had never been away from us until starting at Clapping Hands Daycare in the past few months. After adjusting to being there, my daughter absolutely loves being with Leah. Some days she doesn’t want to leave! Leah is loving, patient, hands on and a great caregiver to the children. I love knowing that my daughter is getting quality care, home cooked meals and in a nurturing environment even when she isn’t at home. She is learning and playing along the other children and even talks about missing them on the weekends. I would recommend Clapping Hands Daycare to others for sure!

  I wish I could give Leah 100 stars. Best daycare Ive come across. After months of searching with no hope, we found Leah. She has treated my son Gian, as one of her own. Daycare is absolutely beautiful, super clean, full of new toys, activities, and most importantly, the love and warmth from someone who loves working with children. Home cooked meals, school like curriculum, even for toddlers, and a safe and loving environment. My son loves coming to Leah's. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and her personality and willingness to be flexible are unmatched. She sends me videos, pictures and even allows me to video call to check on my son. I couldn't be happier. Even takes him to the park!!!! Highly recommend.
