My experience with home based daycare has been phenomenal. She has taught me tools to guide me as a first time mother. The growth in my child’s behavior and learning has improved, he’s reached milestones in areas I expected to be difficult. With her support we have created a strong learning environment at home. My son calls his daycare provider grandma. He loves her like family.

My experience with Mirtha's day care has been great. She does an amazing job. Loving and kind. My son sees her as a grandmother, she's family to us. I love that she taught him and prepared him for kindergarten. She provides them with fresh meals. Her house is a safe place and it feels like home to him. I'm so grateful that she helps me raise my son.

My experience with home-based child care has been amazing. My child is nurtured and cared for. Home-based child care gave my daughter a place to be comfortable, happy and she has someone who is dedicated to her learning. My daughter took her first couple steps with Mendrid, she surprises me with new words, numbers, and nursery rhymes that I wasn't even aware that she knew at 15 months.
