Adriana's Daycare

Our daughter was with Adriana from the age of 2 years, 1 month through 3 years, 3 months. During that time we 1) were in a global pandemic 2) had a brand new second baby 3) had to leave our house for two months due to a water pipe flood requiring major construction. It was a time of major transition and forced adaptation and through it all Adriana was a source of stability and calm and excellent care. She truly loves all of the kids at her daycare as if they were her own. She is patient and kind and makes every kid feel cared for and heard. The small number of kids was a huge draw during the pandemic and Adriana continues to take every precaution to keep everyone safe and comfortable. Our previously standoffish daughter has gained a ton of social confidence during her time at Adriana's and has learned a great deal of Spanish as well. We couldn't be more grateful to Adriana for the time we've had with her and look forward to keeping in touch throughout the years.

We have had our 2.5 year old son with Adriana since he was 7 months old, and could not possibly be happier with our experience thus far! From the moment we first went to visit, we knew that this would be the perfect environment for our son. The space is open, well lit, very clean and organized, and very developmentally appropriate for ages baby through four years old. We are amazed at the progress our son made with her in the first year, both socially and with his motor skills (using a fork for eating, a cup for drinking, walking, running, etc). We give so much credit to Adriana for providing such a wonderful environment to learn and grow in. She is patient, loving, and caring daycare providers who truly are dedicated to their profession. We always feel comfortable asking for any advice/help, and know that above all, our son will always be safe and well taken care of. We also highly value that our son's home language, Spanish, is used at the daycare. We give our highest possible recommendation to any family is looking for a quality, safe, loving environment for their children, and will most definitely continue to use them for years to come as we plan to send our soon to be born second child next year!

My daughter has been with Adriana from 8 months to 3 years and absolutely thrived under the guidance and care of Adriana. Her compassion, enthusiasm for teaching, dedication to each child has made our experience wonderful. Their days are spent playing in the large outdoor play area, singing and playing music, learning their numbers, colors, days of the week and more, and painting up a storm. Meals offered are healthy (breakfast, lunch, and snacks.) My daughter is always so excited to go in the morning. She has learned so much, and gets to socialize and play so much. We get monthly newsletters so we know what the month ahead will look like (meals, what they are learning this month, and updates) and also receive photos and videos from their day. It's a wonderful place. We feel so at ease each morning knowing that our daughter is being treated with love and respect, and is learning in an encouraging environment. There are currently 3 children in the daycare, with space for 2 more (age 4 months - 4 years). All the families are in close contact with each other and with Adriana as we navigate life in a pandemic. Highly recommend Adriana's daycare. 

We lived in Eastmont Hills and *loved* this home-based daycare that we used from when our son was 6 months old to 1.5 years. Adriana runs a very reasonably priced daycare that currently has 2 spots open for kiddos under 2 yrs old. One of these spots is because we recently moved away. It is Spanish-speaking but she also teaches English translations of words/color/etc. We were so impressed by our quickly our kiddo learned Spanish while being there full time every week. She treats the children like her own and we felt *so* comfortable leaving our infant there compared to several other larger daycare facilities that we visited in the area. Our son was always so smiley when he saw his teacher's faces. She is capped at 8 children, and has 1-2 additional folks helping her, depending on how many children are there each day and if there are many infants. They spend a lot of time outdoors getting their wiggles out and also plenty of time doing artwork, learning letters, days of the week, etc. She's also incredibly flexible which we appreciated a lot, as a family with two full time working parents needing to coordinate Dr. visits, etc. Her rates are: $80/day for full time or $85/day for part time. This includes cows milk AND all (healthy) meals and snacks, which Adriana prepares herself (for children over 1 yr). Each day is 10 hours, open from 7:30am-5:30pm (pick up by 5PM on Fridays). The community of parents and families is also lovely - holiday party, open hours, Whatsapp group. They are closed during COVID but will reopen. In the meantime, lots of sweet video songs and Zoom calls. I'm happy to answer any questions via phone/email if you're interested in getting in touch with me. I could not recommend more highly.
