Choosing a daycare and dropping your little one off for the first time are some of the most difficult things new parents do. Ronelia and Tony were very patient and understanding. It didn't take us long to realize that going to daycare was a lot harder on mom and dad then on our little girl. She has thrived in the warm and loving environment and we know we don't have to worry when she is there. We appreciate the updates we get everyday on what Jada is doing and how she is growing. We know that Jada is treated like the special little girl she is.

There is nothing better than dropping off your child at daycare in the morning and he waves at you with a smile. Having found Ronelia's daycare has been a wonderful addition to our life. The kids are treated with such love and caring, which makes you as a parent very happy. I am great-full having found this daycare.

My son has been in Ronelia's Daycare for almost a year, and we could not be happier. Ronelia and her staff do so many educational activities with the kids including music class and arts and crafts. And there is also a lot of time for free play as well. Ronelia keeps her house immaculate, and they cook organic food for the kids. We love Ronelia, Tony and Maribel so much and have every confidence in them to take care of our son. And we are sending our newborn there in a few months. We highly recommend Ronelia's Daycare.

Our family visited five different day care centers and homes before finding Ronelia’s Day Care via a SMMC referral. We were initially intrigued by her website, but skeptical – could a place actually be this clean and bright and happy? We had actually started to question whether a day care environment was going to work for our son after not being that happy with what we had seen so far. When we first visited Ronelia’s, less than 30 minutes after the end of a full childcare day for her, we were thrilled with what we found. In less than five minutes we knew that we had found the right place for our son.
Ronelia, her husband Tony and their staff are an incredibly warm and loving bunch. They take their responsibilities very seriously, yet could not be more caring and warm with children and their families. Their home / facility is immaculate (even after a long day!) and thoroughly equipped with any and all gear, toys, outdoor play structures, books, games and other necessities. She prepares home made, organic meals daily and treats all children like her own which includes gentle discipline and boundaries as needed. Our (now 20 month old son) son Xander has been going to Ronelia’s for six months and is always happy to be greeted by a happy hug before joining his friends in activities and play. Regular art, music and other creative / developmental classes taught by visiting teachers contribute to the structure and value for the children. Our son has thrived at Ronelia’s; we have never felt anything but complete confidence and comfort in their ability to care for him.

"My 12-month old son has been at Ronelia's Daycare 5 days a week for the last 5 months and we couldn't be happier. They are very organized and clean and the place is never chaotic. There is a great outdoor space for the kids to play. They are open the hours we need and have been flexible on timing. They are also very affectionate & caring people and give plenty of one-on-one attention to each child. Ronelia notices & points out things about my son that I sometimes don't pick up on myself. For mealtime, they serve organic, home-cooked food, so I know my son is getting the nutrition he needs. He is a happy, active child and I know he's thriving in this environment."

We chose Ronelia's Day Care not just for the structure and environment,but for their personalities that among many qualities they keep alive the image of unit and happy family.

My daughter has been at Ronelia's Daycare for the past year and she absolutely loves it. I looked at many daycare facilities and Ronelia's by far seemed the most appealing. The facilities are very homey, it is always incredibly clean, there are a lot of stimulating toys for all age groups and there is a fantastic outdoor play space that is usable even in rainy weather. In addition, Ronelia cooks wonderful, wholesome food for the little ones, so I know she eats well when I am not there. Every week my daughter looks forward to going back to Ronelia's to see her little friends, and to spend time with Ronelia and her husband Tony. I leave her there with the utmost confidence in the people who look after her. It has been an incredibly positive experience for our family as well as my friends who have decided to go with their children. I constantly recommend her daycare to other people."

Just a quick note to say how happy we are to have Sam at your Day Care. You and Tony are absolutely wonderful with him (and all the kids) - you have a real empathy, and the enjoyment you and they get out of playing together is very evident. Sam looks forward to being with you both every day, and on the occasions when Elinor joins him and you for the evening she gets so excited! We also really appreciate your flexibility and willingness to take Sam for extra hours when our schedules require, and also to take care of both the kids on the odd occasion to allow Malin and I to have a "Parents Night Out!" Thanks again for everything you do, and it really is a pleasure and a comfort to know that Sam is in such good hands.
