We absolutely love this daycare! The staff are so caring, patient, and genuinely treat the kids like their own. My child looks forward to going every day and always comes home happy, well-fed, and learning new things. The communication is great and the environment feels safe and nurturing. I couldn’t ask for a better place, highly recommend to any parent looking for peace of mind.
ASAP HurtNov 5, 2025I can’t say enough good things about (EFFective childcare services inc)]. From the very first day, the staff made both my child and me feel completely at ease. The teachers are warm, patient, and truly invested in each child’s growth and happiness. The facility is always clean, safe, and well-organized, with plenty of engaging activities that encourage learning and creativity. It’s clear that the team here genuinely loves what they do. I’m so grateful we found (EFFective childcare services) I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing, trustworthy, and joyful environment for their little one!
Anthony LoreNov 1, 2025Best daycare experience ever for us and our son! Im a first time mom and this was definitely hard for me but Barbara (owner of Effective Childcare Services) made me feel completely confident that my son would be in great hands — and she was right! The entire team has been amazing, caring, and attentive. My son absolutely loves it there, and as a parent, that peace of mind means everything. I’m so grateful to have found such a warm and trustworthy childcare center. Not only did they take care of him but he was learning his ABC, Numbers and so much more. The communication with staff and Barbara was always 100%, which made me feel even more comfortable and informed every step of the way. Highly recommend!
Amanda LOct 7, 2025Effective Childcare is a wonderful choice for anyone requiring childcare services. The nurturing and enriching environment created by Barbara and her staff members greatly surpassed my expectations. I drop my child off every morning knowing that she will be greatly cared for. As an educator, I am impressed by what my child has learned during their 7 months of attendance. I would highly recommend ECCS to all of my family and friends. This is the best investment I could have ever made in regard to my child’s care and educational enrichment. The staff and Ms. Barbara go above and beyond to make everyday special! Thank you all!
Olivia AbbsApr 21, 2025My son has been attending Effective Child Care Service for the past 3 years. I have nothing but great things to say. The staff are awesome, they treat him like family. They send me pictures thought-out the day. Potty training was definitely easier with them by our side. They helped him learn his numbers and letters in a fun way. When taking the placement test for kindergarten, the teachers told us he is advanced. I truly believe it's because of Effective Child Care Service. I will be sending my other child to them!
J BarretoJul 4, 2023My son has been at effective childcare since he was 8 months old. We love Barbara and her team as they go above and beyond to make the transition to daycare more comfortable for us parents! I can see my son learning as he grows and meeting all his milestones because of their program. We love getting pictures throughout the day and we can feel he is so well cared for by their staff.
