Hello! I am Shiromi Fernando, the founder of Family Fun Child Care Wonderschool. As a mother, I was inspired to start my own program because I saw a need for high-quality care in my community. I have always loved working with kids and enjoy the opportunity to shape children’s lives in a positive way by building a strong foundation for their education.
Testimonials
“Highly recommend Family fun daycare! Extremely pleased with Shiromi. Shiromi is super connected with all parents through text and phone. She is great at providing day updates, reminders and pictures. She has send us the most adorable photos of our son interacting with other kids, and just greets us with warmth and joy every single time we see her. Shiromi and Lupe go above and beyond to accommodate and care for the kids (& parents). Our son has always been a head strong child and keeping him entertained while getting educated has always been our concern, when my son first started at Shiromi’s (at 2.5 years) he knew only a few words when he started here , but soon after joining he picked up language so fast within couple months and I am now amazed at his vocabulary. Our son who is now 3.5 year old son has shown immense physical and emotional growth, learning and development under her care.
I work 9-5 in downtown and always barely make it by 6PM to pickup my son (and many many times later than 6PM), but Shiromi always been so understanding about being late for pickup, just a text to her and she totally understands. I can go on and on about how extraordinarily caring and loving these ladies are. Shiromi and Lupe are just amazing people. My son could not have been co-raised in better hands. My son is now moving to a preschool taking these sweet memories of shiromi’s daycare, we will surely going to miss Family fun daycare a lot.” - Deepti G.
“I have nothing but good things to say about Family Fun Day Care. We found Shiromi thanks to our friends that have been taking their kids there since they were very little, they love her!
Our son has attended this daycare for well over a year and he loved it since the very beginning (and that means a lot to us because he is particular about who cares for him). Also, his vocabulary has improved tremendously during this time (we talk to him both in Spanish and English at home and he tends to get them mixed up).
Unfortunately we have to move out of town and I am saddened to pull our son out of this daycare, because it is like a second home for him. If you work/live in the area (We didn’t but gladly did the drive back and forth daily) I highly recommend Family Fun Day Care, Shiromi and her team are a gem, we will miss them a lot!” - Mar M.
“As a working Mom it can be challenging to find reliable and safe in-home child care. If you are reading this review, look no further. My daughter has been coming to Shiromi’s home for daycare since she was three months old, and my son since he was four months old. Shiromi has lovingly cared for my children for over three years, and this is their home away from home. During this time Shiromi has become like family to us, and I consider her a trusted member of my tribe (after all it truly takes a village). Shiromi truly cares about the well being and development of every child in her care. Her assistants are loving and kind and Shiromi is professional and direct. This place is a gem.” - Staci C.
Philosophy
I want to welcome your family into my home. What I offer to you and your child is much more than just a baby-sitting service. I offer an extended family support system that nurtures all of us. A unique family child care setting that caters to the emotional and development needs of all children. I provide nurturing and loving care in a professional manner.
It is often difficult for working parents to balance all the commitments and responsibilities in their lives. When your child is at my home, you will receive peace of mind knowing that your child is being loved and taken care of much in the same fashion that you yourself would provide.
I will use my knowledge to offer stimulating, developmental activities when your child is ready for them. They include music and movement, outdoor play, practical life and arts and crafts, pre-reading and pre-math skills, quiet story and sharing times and lots of laughter.
I offer a unique kind of child care that all parents dream of having their child be a part of during those precious young years. I am the center that takes great pride in my family home environment, where everyone is treated with respect and where communication is priority.
Thank you for visiting Family Fun Wonderschool. I wish you a day filled with happiness through laughter and love.
