Our family loves Melody Childcare, they are like family to us and they treat us like family not just another customer. We have been coming here for over 4 years now. Maryam is the manager/owner and primary care giver for the children. The best thing about this is that the kids are with the same adult on a constant basis. The hours are flexible and the prices are reasonable. They have daily, weekly and monthly rates. The fee also includes meals and drinks. I work nearby and I've visited during my lunch hour, the kids are served home-cooked nutritious balanced meals. They emphasize on eating fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, the kids even pick out fruits from backyard - can't get any fresher than that. There is a huge backyard for the children to play and get some exercise. When I first visited Melody Childcare to meet the staff and see the place, the first thing I remembered was how happy, confident and independent the kids were. They were happily playing with each other; would come over to say hi and ask questions. The children learn from each other as well as from the care givers. They have arts and crafts, learning songs, alphabets and nursery rhymes. Oftentimes I'm amazed with the progress and new skills my daughter learns just by being in day care. There are other extra services offered to further help the parents: drop off / pick up from school or other activities. My daughter has taekwondo classes twice a week during my work hours. The daycare drops her off and picks her up after class for a minimal fee. Overall, I'm very happy and extremely satisfied with Maryam and Melody Childcare. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a family friendly place to watch their kids. If I had another baby, I wouldn't hesitate to bring the baby here when I get back to work.
