  Choosing a daycare is one of the hardest decisions a parent makes, and I can confidently say that trusting Mrs. B and her team with our child was one of the best choices we’ve made. From the very beginning, they created a nurturing, safe, and loving environment where our child truly thrived. The care they provide goes far beyond supervision, it’s clear that every child is genuinely cherished. Mrs. B and her staff are patient, attentive, and deeply invested in each child’s growth. Our daughter learned so much during her time there, from numbers and letters to social skills such as kindness, sharing, and empathy. We also appreciate the delicious homemade meals Mrs. B prepares for the children. Knowing our daughter was eating fresh, home-cooked food each day was incredibly comforting, and even better, she absolutely loved the meals and always talked about them at home. We also appreciated the consistent communication, including updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind. The flexibility, warmth, and genuine care Mrs. B and her team show to both children and parents make this daycare truly exceptional. Our daughter always came home happy, and we fully intend to bring our next child here as well. We are so grateful for everything they do and highly recommend them to any family searching for a loving and trustworthy daycare.

  Mr. and Mrs. B and their son are truly the best team there is! They make their home feel like you're bringing your child to a beloved extended family member’s house. Their home-away-from-home has been such a saving grace for me and my family. Having to bring our son to daycare at the age of six weeks was terrifying, but Mrs. B (Ruth) went above and beyond to ease our worries. She cares for our little one as if he were her own, tending to his every need with genuine love and attention. You can rest assured—your child is in the best hands at her daycare. I can't express enough how much peace of mind we've gained knowing our son is in a place where he is truly cared for and loved from the bottom of Ruth and her family's hearts. There is no one we would trust more to care for our baby. From feeding him nutritious meals to keeping him clean and comfortable all day, Ruth handles every aspect of his well-being with great care. He is actively learning and hitting all his developmental milestones, which helps ease the difficulty of being apart from him while we work. Ruth also excels in communication, ensuring that you and your family always feel informed and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for anyone more qualified, compassionate, or trustworthy to watch over our greatest love.

  Ruth and her team are so kind and loving! She took care of our daughter from 9 months through 3 years old. She is fun, energetic, affectionate, loving, and caring. Ruth was attentive to any concerns we had and was very safety conscious. She always made delicious and nutritious meals. Ruth provided updates throughout the day and pictures, so we didn’t miss sweet moments! Our daughter was in a good hands and was so loved during her time at Butterfly Daycare Center. Such a wonderful daycare!

  Mrs and Mr B truly make a home away from home for our baby girl 💖 we can tell how safe she feels there by how confident she is walking right in to play and greet everyone even just at 13 months old 🥹 and how she lunges for them to hold her and smiles so wide when she sees them! And with their food program there I know she is well fed with healthy meals and snacks! Butterfly daycare truly is a home away from home and as a first time mom I feel so much more at ease knowing she is in their care while my husband and I are working 💖💖💖 Edit: my daughter has been going here for about a year and a half now and her experience just keeps getting better and better!!! She’s counting (not just reciting numbers), knows most of her letters by sight, knows a mix of english and spanish, is so darn polite, has mini conversations with us, and understands her emotions and can visualize them in faces and expressions! These are all reinforced in the home of course but I can see that with her being grouped together with the other kids and the routine Mrs and Mr B and their son put forth in their daily schedule has helped my daughter THRIVE. They even threw the kids an adorable tea party the other day and had them help with the setting up so it truly felt like it was their little party. They go ABOVE AND BEYOND and I can’t say enough about them!!

  Being new to the area, I am so grateful that I found this daycare! My son started attending Butterfly Day Care 3 months ago, at only 7 weeks old, and I have been able to go to work confident that he is being exceptionally well cared for. Mrs. B and Mr. B are such warm and loving people. They made me, and my baby, feel comfortable right away. I just love to see how my son smiles and laughs when he sees them in the morning.

  To say Mrs. B & Mr. B are amazing is truly an understatement! They took care of our children as if they were their own. Between home cooked meals, playtime, nap time, & everything in between, our kids always look forward to going to the Butterfly Daycare Center! It’s been a few years & our youngest is getting ready to start Pre-K with them. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and fun daycare center to send your children, look no further! Mr. & Mrs. B will always be part of our family!!
