"Miss Stephanie and her staff provide a welcoming and nurturing environment for all children. Stephanie designs activities that encourage fine motor development and are fun and engaging. My children adore her and can't wait to see her every day! I can not recommend her enough! "

Nicole Giuliano

"Miss Stephanie is the best daycare provider around. She is patient and exudes kindness to everyone who enters her doors. Stephanie also encourages free play. My kids loved going outside to play games and play on the playground. All her activities and crafts are engaging and helped prepare my kids for Kindergarten. "

Jennifer Ruggiero

"Miss Stephanie creates a warm and loving environment. She is very patient and meets every kid where they are at. The staff is also extremely friendly and welcoming. I loved seeing pictures of my kids participating in circle time and centers. My boys were extremely sad to leave Miss Stephanie's and often ask to visit on their breaks!"
