  • If you are looking for quality care and an introduction to the foundations of educational play for your child, there is no need to look further than Miles of Big Smiles with Remouna Masry and her incredible staff. Remouna’s school will meet all your expectations of childcare for your little one. It is a clean, safe, and interactive environment where my son has thrived for almost two years, from 14 months of age to almost three years old. Remouna values each and every child like they were her own; she is loving, kind, and genuinely cares about the well-being and success of all her students. I love the balance she maintains between free play and intentional learning. The songs, books, art, and games my son has experienced at this daycare are endless! My husband and I value outdoor play, and we are very pleased with how Remouna and her staff encourage outside activities whenever possible, from free play to gardening, from water play to group walks. Your child will be happy and protected in her beautiful backyard, and safe in this incredible neighborhood. She also goes the extra mile to make parents feel comfortable and creates a line of communication that is stable, welcoming, and dependable. I have always felt confident in reaching out to Remouna with any questions or concerns regarding my son; whether it is about his health, behavior, attendance, or supplies, Remouna quickly and efficiently will reply with all the information and reassurance I need. She also makes parents feel connected by posting updates and pictures about their activities- it’s always my favorite time of day when I get those notifications on Procare platform. Remouna and her staff have been so important in the development of our son, giving him his first school experience and first meaningful interactions with other children. We cannot be more grateful for the love and care she and her staff give to all the kids. Miles of Big Smiles was the easiest choice for us, and it was a home away from home for our son, and will be for his little brother in time to come. It’s with my highest regards that I recommend this daycare.

  • We are so fortunate and blessed to have found this daycare. As a first time mom putting your baby in daycare can be a challenge, but I was so excited to put my daughter in this daycare because she was in the best care. Remouna has so many years of experience and she treats every child as if they were her own. My daughter loves her and has a blast at the daycare.The love and the guidance that Remouna shares with all of the children can be felt and seen. My daughter learns a lot and brings me so many arts and crafts projects that she does. I also really appreciate that they keep me informed with how she is doing throughout the day and I can communicate any questions I have with ease. I have so much trust in this daycare and I really am thankful to find a daycare that does all the best for my daughter by making sure she is always safe, and has a blast.

  • Miles of Big Smiles Day Care is absolutely a great place to send kids. We are so happy with the care, love and education our son receives from Ms. Remouna and Ms. Gigi. Our son loves going to school everyday and we feel confident that he is being well taken care of. We receive updates and photos throughout the day on their app, which are a nice reminder of how much fun the kids are having throughout the day!

  • Words can not describe the quality of care my children received at this wonderful family owned day care. We struggled trying countless other places around the area-- my wife and I always felt our kids received subpar care. It impacted our lives (as busy young professionals trying to figure things out) to the point where we almost walked away from our careers (that we spent many many years studying for!). I truly believe meeting Remouna, Gigi, and the rest of the staff was nothing short of an intervention from God. It was at our moment of biggest struggle as young adults that her love, devotion, and care changed our lives forever. She loves each child as her own and we can't thank her enough for providing us a place for our young children to grow and thrive!! This place will always have a special place in our hearts. THANK YOU ALL!!

  • I have had the pleasure of having at least one of my children at Miles of Big Smiles for the last 3.5 years. Remouna takes such great care of the children and provides a nurturing environment that allows the each child to thrive. I cannot recommend this daycare enough. When my children were infants, she was very on top of keeping to a similar schedule to what I had at home. Remouna and the other teachers treat my children as if they were their own. I always know that my kids are in the best hands!

  • Remouna Masry is so much more than a babysitter, or teacher, but a surrogate mom for the day! Bringing my son to daycare was a hard transition but Remouna made this so much easier. Her warm smile and comforting manner immediately put me at ease. But it was the way my son reacted to her that sealed the deal! I could tell he was nurtured. On top of that she was communicative and responsive to my sons needs: from extra water that day to his discomfort with teething. She is able to give individualized attention, while still managing a group of children. I can’t thank her enough.
