Soleil Kids

Our son has been going to Soleil Kids for more than two years, since he was ten months old; starting part-time, then moving to full time. Now three, he is moving on to preschool, so there is an open spot in Soleil Kids. Sonia and Kamel are fantastic caregivers, and our LO has learned a lot and developed good language, motor, and social skills during his time there. They have consistently provided a supportive environment for his developmental needs, including during potty training, which is a stressful time for anyone. They have a great deal of experience with infants and toddlers both, and give great advice as well, having already 'seen it all'. We are so happy they were our partners in our son's early years!

Soleil Kids is also great because they accommodate different schedules with both monthly and hourly rates, depending on the hours of care you need for your child. As first-time parents without any family locally, the presence of Sonia and Kamel greatly reduced our stress level, and we can’t recommend them enough.

Our daughter started at Soleil when she was just six months old, and as first-time parents, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, Sonia and Kamel and their team made us feel completely at ease, offering thoughtful advice and guidance without ever being overbearing. Their warmth and professionalism immediately reassured us that our daughter was in great hands.

Despite being one of the youngest in a group of slightly older kids, our daughter always felt welcome and comfortable. It was heartwarming to see how she settled in so quickly. She was always happy and content when we dropped her off, and we never once saw her distressed or uneasy—a testament to the love and care she received daily.

The flexibility of the daycare was also a huge plus for us. Starting part-time allowed us to transition smoothly, and we appreciated that they were open most days, even during some holidays. This thoughtful approach to scheduling really made things easier for our family.

We are moving to a new city, which is the only reason we’re leaving. We are so grateful for the nurturing environment Sonia and Kamel provided and the wonderful start they gave our daughter in her early years. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any parent looking for a warm, caring, and flexible daycare provider.

Our son was at Soleil Kids full-time starting at 5 months until he was a year old. Sonia and her family are wonderful and caring.

We immediately felt at ease knowing our son was in such good hands. Sonia has a truly special way with children, and it was clear from day one how much she genuinely cares for each child in her care. She formed such a warm and loving bond with our son, and it was heartwarming to see how excited he would get when we arrived each morning. Sonia’s daughter was also so sweet with him, often playing with him and making him smile.

We only left because we got into a larger daycare much closer to home. Even though we left a year ago, Soleil still often watches our son when our usual daycare is closed, and he's always so happy to see them. It’s a testament to the care and connection Sonia and her family provide. We can’t recommend Soleil Kids enough!

My one-year-old daughter has been enrolled full-time at Soleil Kids since September when she was about 5 months old. I could not have asked for a more nurturing provider!

Sonia, in particular, has been a wonderful 'second mother' to my child and really treats her like a member of her family. The strong bond between my daughter and Sonia is evident when I drop her off in the mornings: my daughter laughs and kicks her legs because she is excited to see Sonia, even after a weekend or long holiday break. I also know my daughter is well taken care of since she is well-fed, clean, rested, and happy when I pick her up in the evening. Sonia and Kamel always give a recap of what happened in the day, and also provide tips on new foods to try, herbal remedies for colds, or items that may help for her development. 

I would strongly recommend Soleil Kids for infant and early toddler care, and am happy to be a reference. 

My daughter was at Soleil Kids with Sonia and Kamel for about a year, from age 6month-ish to just over 18 months. I was so happy to find a small, nurturing home environment for my daughter, especially given it was the height of COVID.

It was very obvious to me from the start that Sonia and Kamel really cared for my daughter (and actually, for our whole family!). It is clear that they treat everyone in their lives as if they are all apart of their family. Soleil Kids is a wonderful environment for infants and younger toddlers, where they can really get that dedicated attention from loving caregivers. They're very flexible and understanding, and as first time parents we felt comfortable asking Sonia for parenting advice.

We eventually moved from Soleil to a Spanish immersion daycare when my daughter got older, because it was important for our family that our daughter have more Spanish language exposure, but we absolutely loved our time at Soleil and would be happy to provide further info and a reference to anyone considering them for their childcare needs.
