Nellie’s Daycare

I cannot imagine my life without Nellie’s Daycare. My daughter loves it and she is extremely organized and each day is full of learning activities. We have been coming here for years! Sick policies must be enforced and I have no problem following the rules. My child’s health is critical to others around her as well as my own family. Thank you for all you do everyday! You have a great family ands great business!

I have recommended Nellie’s Daycare to several people and will continue to, even though my kids are mostly past the daycare age. I found Nellie’s when looking for a place to take our twins, as infants. She had us come over to see her facility, and we had the chance to ask questions and be put at ease about leaving our babies in her home. Daycare is expensive, there is no doubt about it, especially for those who have twins or more child than one to care for. We have gone the «cheaper» route of having our kids in someone’s home or with a friend, but with Nellie’s, the price is worth the security of knowing our children are as cared for as they would be in our own home. Meals, safety, fun — there are absolutely no concerns when I bring our three children to Nellie’s, which I continue to do on a drop in basis, even though my kids are now school age. Nellie’s offers field trips in the summer, wonderful curriculum during the school year, fun crafts, parents’ nights out, and much more. When we experienced a tragedy in our family, Nellie herself took our twins extra days that week with no questions or expectations so that we could get through the first few days of what was an awful time. When they were of potty-​training age, the consistency and reinforcement at daycare basically trained them for us! Nellie’s Daycare was a huge blessing to us when our children were little. It continues to be during summers and breaks from school. Thanks for loving our kids!

I am so blessed to have found Miss Nellie and her daycare! I was very nervous about having to put my then 3 year old into daycare for the first time. Miss Nellie let me and my daughter come for half a day to see how the day runs and to make sure my daughter was comfortable. I love the Mother Goose program she has for the kids, my daughter has thrived at Miss Nellies daycare. When we had kindergarten testing this year my daughter excelled in areas most kids dont and I know I can attribute some of that to the curriculum she learns at daycare. Miss Nellie is very fair to everyone regarding illness policy, which as a single parent I can appreciate since it can be challenging for me to miss work if my child gets sick because of something she caught from another child at daycare. After looking into «commercial» type daycares and even other in home daycares Miss Nellie’s pricing was very reasonable especially for what my child gets while there. My daughter loves going on field trips with the other kids and likes to check her calendar everyday to see what she needs to bring to daycare that day. Miss Nellie and her staff are very personable and make it a point to give me a run down of the day when I pick her up. I definitely recommend this daycare to everyone who wants an honest, loving, safe, educational, and fun place for their child to grow! We love and appreciate Miss Nellie and her staff, we couldnt have found a better daycare!

Ms. Nellie’s day care is amazing, we used another day care for about a year and a half and during that time they constantly let sick kids stay at the daycare (including the care givers children) and I ended up taking over a month off throughout the year to care for my sick daughter and of course myself. Since we moved to Nellie’s I have only taken a few days off since my daughter doesn’t keep bringing crap home. She loves it there and we love Ms. Nellie. Her level of car for my daughter is outstanding and treats her like family. She is constantly pushed to learn and at 3 she already is starting to read and can recognize any number between 1 and 100, and she has learned simple addition and subtraction! I of course have always thought my daughter was smart but Ms. Nellie really brings it out in her. They are always going on field trips to places where they can learn about cool things like the zoo, aquarium and they just went berry picking to learn about plants. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Nellie charged $ 700 a month, per child, for my children to go there part-​time. She fed them good meals and snacks and helped me take them to the car. That was nice. But when I tried to clarify her illness policy; I was dismissed. She dropped my childcare with only 48 hours notice, so I took my kids to Kindercare. It was a blessing in disguise! My children now have outdoor playtime (her yard is too wet and muddy all the time), fresh air, and they do tons of art, science, and math there. I get all of their artwork from Kindercare and even pictures of them doing it! Kindercare is worth every penny! This was the BEST upgrade in care EVER. thanks for dropping me Nellie and doing me a huge favor.
After reading Nellie’s comment below, I will amend my previous criticism to add these things: I am a teacher. I love other people’s children. The week we started with Nellie, she had an outbreak of Fifth’s disease and Hand, Foot, Mouth disease. Who is bringing sickness into that house I ask? My children haven’t had those.
Next, my children were sick occasionally. They were 15 months old, they’re new to daycare, and they’re twins. If one of them catches something, the other will most likely get it.
Lastly, and most importantly, which I should have included earlier, she tried to call Kaiser and ask questions about my son– which is ILLEGAL!!! Kaiser called me and told me this! She did not, and when I asked her about it she was nonchalant in her response. If this is the kind of «professional» someone is seeking, so be it.
