Testimonials

“ Hands 🙌🏾 down to one of our favorite daycare providers Ms. Sonja she’s had Andre since the beginning when he couldn’t even talk & has been there ever since you are so appreciated.” -Ms. Jaime

“My daughter and I love Ms. Sonja. Ms. Sonja potty trained my daughter in one week, and also was able to take her off the bottle. She is very easy going, and is always willing to teach my daughter. There are times when my daughter isn’t ready to leave daycare. ”-Kyundra

Philosophy

I firmly believe that the early years of a child are incredibly significant. It is crucial to implement a daily routine that is both flexible and structured, allowing for a balance between teacher-directed and child-initiated activities. Providing a welcoming environment that embraces children of all abilities, encourages interactions with peers, and incorporates cultural diversity is essential. I am committed to considering the interests and uniqueness of each child and family, ensuring their inclusion and recognition. Community and family input play a vital role in our program, and we actively incorporate different cultures into our daily lessons.
