Whether it’s through songs, stories, or games, we aim to help children develop fluency and appreciation for both languages.

Testimonials

My daughter attended Alia’s home daycare for over 3 years starting at 5 months old. The daycare is clean and they teach clean hygiene habits with the kids such as washing hands when they get in. There is a daily report summary (nap, food, diaper as needed) which I found to be helpful. Starting at 2 years old my daughter brought home her daily worksheet which she was proud of doing. My daughter was well cared for, and my husband and I fully trust Alia and her team. When my daughter was a baby, it was the staff who discovered that my daughter only liked to drink warm milk and stopped drinking when it became lukewarm. My daughter ate better at daycare than at home! She enjoyed being at her daycare and playing with her peers. She often sings songs at home that she learned at daycare. We highly recommend this daycare.

We maintain a clean, secure, and child-friendly environment, and our staff members are trained in CPR, first aid, and child safety protocols. We strive to create a warm and loving atmosphere where children feel safe, valued, and respected.
