Gabriella Sept 2020- "Our daughter has been with Michele for almost three years and we couldn't be happier. Moving to the Bay Area and having to find a new day care has been challenging but we have been truly fortunate to find Michele.Michele's care has been impeccable and nothing short of what a parent would want for his or her child. Her dedication to the kids well being, happiness and development is outstanding.
Michele, Sue and Amanda, have been instrumental to our daughter's growth, both academically and socially.
Now we have a 10 month old son, and Michele's Daycare is the place to go. We couldn't recommend her daycare enough.
If you need a daycare you can trust, don't hesitate and reach out to Michele - she is the best there is:)
Thank you Michele for everything you do for us and for setting the standard on how a caregiver/educator should be.Oct 2019: "Our daughter has been with Michele for almost three years and we couldn't be happier.

It was not easy but we got through it thanks to Ms. Michele and Sue-Sue and Amanda! She had difficulty being in a new place and taking a bottle, and would cry a lot. Part of the problem was that we only needed daycare 1 day/wk but my daughter needed more time to acclimate. Michele suggested she come everyday for 3 hrs for a wk, and then down to 4 days, then 3 and then we started extending the day, etc. -- it was a slow process and of course we had to pay for that time (less for shorter days) but it worked really well for my daughter. We are grateful the team was so willing to hang in there with us.
Michele, Sue, and Amanda were so patient, loving, and affectionate with my baby, and let me know how she did each day. Michele is very organized and good at communicating quickly. It was often a tag-teaming approach -- Michele in the morning, Sue would take over around 10, then they seemed to come together around lunch and nap time, then Sue would leave, I think.
Also, the kids are so sweet there -- whenever my daughter arrived they would say "baby!" -- and they seemed to get along very well. The place and toys are clean and updated, and there is a good amount of space. If needed, babies can sleep in their own room.
My 3 yr old son also went there occasionally when his preschool was off and he liked going. He seemed to enjoy the kid-friendly food and TV shows. We are so thankful to this team for taking care of our little ones."
Kelly: Oct 2019- "My son started with Michele's daycare when he was 14 months old, now he is almost 3 and still just as happy with his "Chele, Sue Sue and Manda" so I feel confident leaving a review.
I had a hard time letting go but Michele made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Actually, her daycare is the only place I've ever let him be without me! I think that says a lot.
She has always been wonderful by sending me photos during my work day, checking in with me any time she had a concern and now even helping with potty training. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of him in my absences.
He's also learned so much in her care, he knows his alphabet, how to count to twenty, all colors, shapes (even drawing) and knows how to spell his name.
Thanks Michele, Sue and Amanda for being such amazing caregivers/educators! It takes a village!"Rachel: Sept 2016- "I have been with Michele for almost 5 years between my two kids and will miss her and her family dearly. They always treated my kids like their own and it really shows on my kids faces every time they see her and her amazing assistants how much they love them. Michele and her family are so caring and so much fun that I know we'll always stay in contact with them. Miss you guys already!"
April 2014- "Michele and her family are so loving and caring. They all treat my son like he's part of their family. I've been taking my son there since he was 5 months old and he's now 21/2. I will also be sending my new little one there soon as well. She keeps a very clean home and I love that the kids aren't all crowded together in one room the whole day which is what I saw at other daycare's. They also have multiple rooms that the younger kids/babies can sleep in which is a very nice bonus. I think It allows them to nap a lot better. I also like that she is big on getting outdoors when the weather is nice.
Can't go wrong with this daycare! :)"
Brooke: June 2016- " My daughter attends Michelle's daycare and we all absolutely love it! Michelle and her staff are all so friendly and great with the kids. My daughter brings home cute artwork and always has a smile when I pick her up. Her home is very clean and organized. The backyard is large and full of great toys, bikes and slides for the kids. I would recommend her daycare to anyone."
L.G.: Jan 2014- " I can't say enough good things about Michele's Daycare. Michele is great and treats all the kids like family. Her home is warm and loving and and she has a really nice setup for the kids. Her house is large and very clean and she also has a great backyard that the kids can play in when its warm enough. Her family are all just really wonderful people and provide a great environment for kids. My son has been going to Michele's since he was an infant. We've never had any issues and Michele is great with keeping us informed and being flexible. If you are looking for a family daycare in the San Mateo area, I would highly recommend."Kairn: Dec 2013- " My son has been going to Michele's since he was five months old (he is two now) and she is fantastic. She treats every child like they are her own and is so attentive to their needs. She truly runs it like a family. My son loves her...we have a family book with pictures of important people in his life....whenever he turns to her page he gets a big smile on his face and carries the book around the house :-) This might seem random, but I know it was important to me in looking for a provider....her house is immaculate!!"
In addition to the forms above, we will need you to bring in the child's vaccination records.
