Welcome

Hello and thanks for visiting our site!
We are a family daycare provider located in Mill Valley with an easy and convenient freeway access. We have a great staff that has embraced our goals and philosophy. Together we provide a safe, clean, fun and stimulating environment allowing the children under our care to flourish and grow.
 

About Us

We are parents of two beautiful children, and we have lots of hands on experience. We are a CA licensed day care for children ages 2 months through 6 years old. All of our staff is certified in CPR, First Aid, Preventative Health and Safety Training, Fingerprinted and Medical Clearance.

Philosophy

OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY

As a parent ourselves, we understand the level of trust you place in us when you enroll your child in our program. We strongly believe a daycare provider must absolutely love working with children. Our place is a non-smoking environment, where we are committed to make the children feel loved, accepted and comfortable as if they were among family members.

OUR PROGRAM

Our daily activities are carefully planned to enhance a child’s social, and both skills, fine (puzzles, play dough, lacing, coloring, painting…) and gross motor skills. We have a spacious and safe backyard along with a large sun room where the children love to play on age appropriate play structures all year round regardless of the weather. Although we are a home-based daycare, we do have a preschool curriculum as we feel it is an important foundation for the children. We have arts and crafts, yoga, story time as well as live music and movements classes. We serve organic, well balanced, homemade meals cooked fresh daily for breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack. We have an additional private site where we share pictures of the children’s daily activities with Ronelia’s Day Care parents only.

"We have had an incredibly positive experience with Ronelia's Day Care for our toddler twins. Ronelia and her team provide a perfect balance of organized structure and nurturing care that have helped our son and daughter thrive. Our children are very excited each morning to go to "Ro-Ro's" to learn ABCs and numbers, sing and dance, run around in the yard, and create arts and crafts. Ronelia sets clear boundaries and expectations for the children, while also encouraging them to be uniquely themselves in a safe and loving environment. Most importantly, Ronelia and her team are incredibly trust-worthy and we feel 100% confident that our children are in very capable hands when they're in their care. Ronelia is extremely organized, always available to talk through any concerns, and proactively shares relevant updates. We really appreciate all the joy and learning that Ronelia and her team bring to our kids' lives and are so grateful to be a part of RDC!"  
The Lau Family
We have had a wonderful experience with Ronelia's Day Care. We trust that our little guy is safe, loved, engaged throughout the day. When he comes home, he is always showing us a new phrase, drawing or skill that he has learned. He never hesitates to run inside the space at drop off. Ronelia is professional and compassionate whenever situations arise. We are lucky to have her and her team during the week!
The Leoni Family
We feel so lucky to have found Ronelia’s daycare! Our daughter has thrived while there. At drop off, she happily runs into the room without even needing to say goodbye. As a parent, that’s the biggest indicator to all that “Nelia” and her team do to provide a safe and loving environment for the kids. We appreciate the effort she puts into creating an engaging and age appropriate curriculum. Ronelia is professional, warm, and cares about each and every kid and family.  Between the arts and crafts, home cooked meals, baby yoga and music classes, and outside play, we know our daughter is getting a fun and enriching experience. We never worry about our daughter when she is at daycare and truly love the whole team as family. We highly recommend RDC!  
The Weiberg Family
This is our second child that we have sent to Ronelia's and we could not be happier with the care. Our daughter is so excited every morning when we drop her off and happily waves good-bye to us. Our daughter was 10 months old when she started with Ronelia, and Ronelia has helped us navigate bottles of breastmilk, weaning to a cup, dropping naps, and so much more. It is clear that Ronelia and her staff care about our daughter and love her like their own. We highly recommend Ronelia's daycare to any parents looking for a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for their child.
The Bro Family
" We started bringing our daughter to Ronelia's at 5 months old. As first-time parents the choice of where to take our daughter for care was excruciating, because it required so much trust with relatively little information. Luckily, we got a recommendation from a friend and now feel like we won the lottery with Ronelia! We know our daughter is always getting personal, loving care and so much stimulating interaction with other kids. In the mornings when we drop her off, she is smiling ear to ear and same at pick up. In addition to that Ronelia is always extremely organized and on top of what happened during the day, what supplies are low and any regulation/policy changes that we need to know about. She is also great with tips as our daughter has entered different stages of development, helping us troubleshoot and find solutions. Ronelia is an essential part of the village of support we need for a happy, healthy family! "
The Roque Family
"Ronelia's daycare is a warm and caring environment where we feel great sending our child. Ronelia’s attention to detail ensures that every child's needs are met. She is incredibly reliable, always providing a comforting and happy space for our child. The fact that Ronelia prepares a hot lunch and covers all snacks is simply amazing and greatly appreciated. My daughter loves going to daycare every day, and seeing her happy and content when I pick her up is the best endorsement any parent could offer."
The Vind Family
Both of our children attend RDC, with our oldest starting at just six months old. We could not be happier with the experience our family has had with this wonderful daycare. Ronelia and her staff are so caring, and treat the kids as if they were their own. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is safe, healthy, and our boys love her home cooked meals! Ronelia truly loves what she does and her curriculum has been instrumental in their development. We are constantly amazed at the rate and depth of what they’ve learned. They love sharing their artwork, yoga poses, and new songs when they get home each day. It is nearly impossible to sum up all the amazing qualities of RDC, and we are forever grateful that our boys were able to begin their journey there!

The Sindell Family

Ronelia’s Daycare has been entirely fantastic for our son. He started when he was just 18 months old and he has completely blossomed in his time there so far, becoming more outgoing and more confident, and learning new words and skills seemingly every day. Ronelia is extremely thoughtful and caring, and we have felt from day 1 that he has been in safe, secure, and kind hands when we drop him off there each day. She has crafted a great enriching environment with lots of different kinds of toys, a good mix of indoor and outdoor space, lots of natural light, and a wide variety of activities that make learning fun for young children at any stage of development.

She also provides healthy, delicious food that our son loves to eat each day for mealtime and snacks. I was also impressed with her disaster preparedness, with generators and multiple air filters on site in the case of power outages or a smoke-filled day, something that no other daycare we toured made mention of.

In short, 5 stars would be highly recommended. Thank you Ronelia!

The Williams Family

“Ronelia’s daycare is a special place. Ronelia has a heart of gold and she showers the children with so much love and care. She’s created a magical little space for the kids to learn, explore and play! The most telling sign that it’s a good school is that our daughter runs into Ronelia’s arms every single morning.”

The Bray Family 

“Having researched and visited many daycares in the area, we feel very lucky to have found Ronelia’s Daycare for our boys. Ronelia, Edith and Tony are a kind, caring, well organized team that create a perfect rhythm to the day for the kids in their care. From music, dance and yoga to all of the amazing arts, crafts and home cooked meals – every day is thoughtful, varied and fun. They’ve become a really important and happy part of our boys lives.”

 

 

The Briggs Family 

Our daughter has been attending Ronelia’s Day Care for several months, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience for her and for us as parents!

We were initially drawn to Ronelia’s by the wonderful play spaces and the mix of daily activities, including yoga, art, and scholastics. It seemed like a fun and enriching environment for our daughter, and we could tell Ronelia was experienced and organized in a way that felt reassuring to us as parents.

Now that our daughter has been attending for several months, we can confirm that she has lots of fun every day and that the curriculum is making a huge contribution to her growth and development. She always comes home with new words, an art project, and a big smile!

And, Ronelia has been a great partner to us as parents. She takes photos, communicates proactively by calling and emailing, and shares regular feedback on our daughter’s experience.

We trust Ronelia and her team deeply and feel very fortunate to be working with them. We highly recommend Ronelia’s to any parents considering day care!

 

 

The Sillcocks Family 

We feel so incredibly lucky that our son is able to attend Ronelia’s. He loves being there and all of the caregivers are wonderful with him. You can tell they genuinely love the kids and take pride in creating this special place for the children. It is a warm, loving and safe environment. It is also fun and interesting for the kids – every day my son is coming home with new words and new experiences. His language and curiosity have grown so much through the activities and socialization. I would highly recommend Ronelia’s!

I was uncertain about sending my son to daycare during the pandemic. He was just under 1 year old and I agonized over the decision. Since sending him to Ronelia’s, I have not had one moment of regret. He has thrived and it has been a key part of his growth and development over this past year.

Ronelia is also a great partner to parents. We’ve had open communication with her and I trust she is doing what’s best for both my son and the broader group of kids. I appreciate her clear communication and have always felt she is working with us to make decisions. We are grateful there was a spot for him and hope other families have the opportunity to experience such a wonderful daycare.

 

 

The Beckert Family 

We are so thankful to have found Ronelia’s Daycare. Our daughter loves going every day, and even asks for us to pick her up later so she has more time to play in the afternoon. We have seen our daughter blossom while attending Ronelia’s daycare this past year. She has learned countless new skills and is always so proud to show us the art project that she made that day. It is very clear that Ronelia, Tony, and Edith love all of the kids and treat them as their own. We could not ask for a better daycare to send our daughter.

 

 

The Esser Family

“My older daughter loved Ronelia’s, so when it was time to find care for my younger daughter (9 months) I immediately called Ronelia. Ronelia and her staff are so loving and truly treat the children as their own. The environment is happy, engaging, and safe, and my baby lights up in the morning when we arrive and has a smile on her face when we pick her up. Ronelia, Tony and Edith are all wonderful people who are great early childhood educators. We feel so lucky to have found this community where our daughter can thrive.”

 

 

The Schrader Family 

We couldn’t speak more highly of our experience at Ronelia’s Day Care! Since day 1, Ronelia and her caring team have welcomed and embraced my daughter and have made her so incredibly excited about her time there. She lights up when she discovers she’s going back the next day and gets to see her friends and partake on whatever Ronelia has planned.

We credit the hands-on nature and personalized attention of the staff and the very thoughtful balance of fun and instruction that seems to foster this great sense of growth, accomplishment, and enjoyment for my daughter that’s so gratifying to see as parents. Every week she seems to come home with new developments that we hadn’t seen before…She’s much more social with other kids, she’s more patient, she listens better, she takes to instruction more consistently, and she always seems to be bursting with new things to say, songs to sing, and yoga poses to show us!

We couldn’t ask for any more than that as parents and are thrilled we found Ronelia and her day care!

 

The Suzman Family 

We’re so thankful that we found Ronelia’s Daycare. It’s difficult to leave your child with someone else but from day one we’ve been confident that Ronelia and her team are incredibly thoughtful caregivers and teachers. They truly care about the children and love what they do. Ronelia, Edith, Milvi and Tony have created a community that teaches kindness and encourages curiosity.  They make learning fun. With daily activities of yoga, music, dance, art class and reading, our daughter comes home excited and more curious about the world.

With life’s daily stresses, it’s a relief dropping off our daughter with someone we trust. We are grateful that she is in a loving and educational environment at Ronelia’s. Above all else, our daughter is safe and happy.
