Dayana Cross, Owner and Operator

Welcome to Mrs. Dayana’s Home Daycare. My name is Dayana and I opened my home daycare 24 years ago with the purpose of providing quality child care benefiting the child, the parent and the community. My program is unique in that the love like home is dedicated to the children’s learn and I have provided each child with a place to be safe, happy and creative. My home daycare is a welcoming, bilingual environment where children can spend their day learning and discovering.

Testimonials

Mariana Uribe, Tenía mucho temor de dejar a mi chiquita en un daycare hasta que tome la decisión con Mrs. Dayana! Hermoso lugar y sobre todo que siento que mi niña está como en casa! 🥰 Gracias Mrs. Dayana por este espacio que me permite sentir confiada.

Jaymie Sheehan, My kids have been at Mrs Dayana’s for almost three years since they were small babies. Mrs Dayana is an amazing teacher and our kids learn so much, in English and Spanish, but even more they are so loved. I drop them off each day knowing they will receive great care, food, and fun. We highly recommend Mrs Dayana’s to anyone looking for affordable daycare at a high standard! Mrs Dayana also provides delicious and nutritious lunch, breakfast, and snacks and offers parent night out opportunities for caregivers!

TJ Carson, We toured several corporate owned daycares when we were searching, but once we visited Mrs. Dayana’s daycare we knew this is where we wanted our kids to be. It feels like family here. We’ve had our son here almost 3 years and our daughter for well over a year. Highly recommend!

Fernando Nava, Dayana is an outstanding educator, who gives everything for the kids. She made sure our daughter felt welcomed and loved. Only trouble is finding a spot, if you can get into Dayana’s daycare consider yourself lucky!.

Philosophy

I believe that each child has his own development time, combined with a quality time, love, family environment and encouraging children to learn the confidence of their self-importance.

Give them guidance and understanding and they will have the opportunity to explore their world in a safe and intentional environment.

Mrs. Dayana’s Home Daycare believes that by working together as a family, with love from home with routines of learning and fun is the secret to integral and healthy growth. For these and more we can say …Like at Home!
