Mara is awesome with all the children! Would absolutely recommend to anyone searching for childcare
Mathew LaddJan 12, 2026Mara watched my 2 kids for over 10 yrs. She was amazing and they learned so much from here. She is very caring and wonderful daycare provider and person.
Kathleen SkinnerOct 5, 2025My child has been attending Mara’s since 8 months old. As a brand new mom, I felt nervous about daycare, but Mara helped me feel confident and comfortable leaving my baby in her care. She is incredibly communicative and always sends me pictures, which I love. She truly cares about the kids, even checking in on them when they are sick, and she has been incredibly accommodating if our schedule suddenly shifts. Our child is always coming home having learned something new, making friends, and enjoying the many experiences Mara provides. We are so grateful to have found such a caring, thoughtful, and engaging environment.
Margaret EighmeySep 27, 2025My kid has been going to Mara's since she was 1, over a year now. Mara and Lori do a great job with the kids. The kid's area is always clean and organized. Communication is great. Kids all play well together and have a good time overall.
Jonathan EinstossSep 22, 2025Mara was a God send when we found her. My children loved attending and although have aged out of daycare, we still keep in touch. She prepared our kids for school, and always had fun activites planned.
Jessie BolsonSep 12, 2025Mara took care of my son from 4 months old through him starting pre-school this fall, and it’s been a fabulous experience all the way through. From sending me all of the pictures when I was still a very anxious new mom to supporting my son as he started growing in to his personality, Mara has been there every step of the way. Always clear and quick communication, consistent expectations, and a fun, safe environment my son enjoyed being part of. She’s a beautiful person to help raise your humans, and we look forward to staying in touch❤️
