  • Ms. Simone was immediately warm and welcoming inviting us in to see this small, “family feel “ Daycare. She is always open for conversation, empathetic, real, and transparent as a parent herself. She employs a staff that models those qualities. The curriculum was always fun and exciting for my daughter Jaida, she always came home smiling. Healthy breakfast and catered( healthy) lunches are provided each day. Along with the day-to-day activities, they are always doing special things around the holidays for the kids/ parents. I honestly can go on and on about all the ways my daughter became such a phenomenal student, but most importantly I never had to question what type of care my daughter was getting. I knew in my absence my princess was being loved, nurtured, comforted and allowed to grow, learn and explore in a warm and caring environment….everyday. Thanks again Simone for living up to the name Shining Stars

  • Only 5 stars?? Simone definitely deserves more! In today's world, great childcare isn't as common as it used to be...let alone a provider that's as attentive and communicative as Simone. I can leave my 3 children in her care and have peace of mind knowing that they're in great hands. Her daycare is a very loving and family-oriented environment. Simone is patient and very understanding & her level of professionalism is also top-tier. She informs us right away if there are extra needs that should be met, as well as any paperwork that needs to be completed. I highly recommend Simone's Shining Stars to any family...you will NOT be disappointed 😌
