From the first day we met Miss Adela, we felt like we had discovered a hidden gem. Her team offers personalized, attentive care for our toddler, ensuring he is nurtured and engaged in fun, creative activities. It’s clear that a lot of thought and love goes into every detail, from the safe, home-like space to the schedules. Every morning, Henry cannot wait to get to daycare, and it’s heartwarming to see him do his happy kicks as we approach the building. Miss Adela and her team have truly provided him with a warm, interactive environment so he can thrive both socially and emotionally. We can’t recommend Miss Adela highly enough!

What parents say

I often say that we won the lottery with Miss Adela’s Childcare. When our son started at 5.5 months, he hardly took a bottle. Miss Adela’s gentleness and ease immediately calmed all of our first-time parent nerves. Her home became his home away from home, an intimate and loving environment thanks to the wonderful teachers that grew to feel like family. We have since moved out of the neighborhood and plan on commuting 30+ minutes so our second child can experience the magic that is Miss Adela’s. The warmth, youthful energy, socialization and care is unbeatable.
