Melody Child Care

Do not use Melody’s Child Care. I originally paid a deposit to reserve my spot a month in advance. When it was time to use her services, she cancelled on me twice at the last minute for personal reasons. So i decided that she was too unreliable and found another daycare. Then she said she would give me a refund on my deposit. But she was going through a personal problem (which I will not disclose) and didn’t give me the deposit until 3 months later. I had to call her several times and drive to her house to pick up the deposit. She accused me of being in considerate. I am very glad and thankful that I found another daycare to go to. Melody is not able to handle taking care of children with the personal issues she is going through. Please take your children elsewhere.

Our son exclusively stayed at home until he was about to turn one this summer… and we found ourselves in need of daycare for several weeks. Nazy and her team at Melody Child Care were wonderful with our son’s needs and he absolutely loved all of the children and activities. There are so many learning resources… but most importantly a pleasant and shaded place for the children to play and explore!
The team is very attentive and responsive — if we have a chance to send our son to daycare again, we will call Melody Child Care!

Nazy is a wonderful and loving woman who I instantly felt very comfortable trusting. Both of my kids love her. Prior to Nazy’s daycare I had always enrolled my kids in more institutional «business» daycares, but Nazy’s place is safe and secure with a voice alarm that alerts whenever the front door is opened and a secure gate/​wall around the outdoor area. It is on a quiet residential street. Nazy feeds the kids healthy food and gets my son to eat all types of things he is more picky about at home. The place is clean, no shoes inside, kids wash hands when they first arrive and throughout the day.

My daughter has been learning and growing at Nazy’s/Melody Child Care for about 9 months now. I have three kids, and have done every type of childcare arrangement (institution, preschool, cooperative, babysitter, live-​in nanny, etc.) Of all of them, Nazy’s is by far and away the best for infants and toddlers. I concur with the praise of the other reviewers re cleanliness, homey feel, excellent healthy meals, etc.
At Melody Child Care, your kid will be loved! When my daughter arrives, she is met with smiles, laughter, and a hug. Nazy’s assistants, Martha and Alba, are both wonderful, and they work well as a team to provide lots of attention and stimulation. Everyone is commenting on my daughter’s accomplishments because at just past 2 years old, she talks in complete sentences, can sing the alphabet song, put her own shoes on, etc. They always ask if she goes to one of the expensive and fancy daycares in the area (and by the way, many of those are quite good and I’ve sent my other kids there). But no, all this amazing learning and joy from my daughter is the result of Nazy and her staff.
I could not be happier, and my daughter is flourishing. I truly consider my family blessed to have Nazy and her staff in our lives. (And I’m not one to pour on praise – see some of my crabby reviews on Unilocal if you don’t believe me!)

My two-​year-​old has been going to Nazy’s for almost 3 months now. We started there because she came highly recommended by my best friend whose child attended. After a long search it came down to a very large center vs. a home day care setting at Nazy’s. Words cannot express how happy I am with my decision. The bottom line is that my daughter is more than happy to go to Nazy’s every day and now that she’s comfortable there she doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day when I pick her up. And ALL of the kids are happy whenever I am there.
Nazy is very personable, knowledgeable, and experienced. It shows! She always has the right information for me to show me how well Sierra is doing and even in areas where she struggles. This shows me how much she truly cares about the kids. She is always willing to take the time to talk with the parents about their kids as well as about the parents needs. She has always been extremely open to working with my schedule changes, etc.
The house is a very light and happy atmosphere and Nazy has tons of toys that she rotates so that the kids are always happy. I have yet to find something she doesn’t cover in her daily activities; painting, physical development through use of cars/​slides/​etc, alphabet and number work, music, reading, signing, sharing, etc.
What my child eats is very important to me and there is NO better place to make sure that your little one is getting a healthy meal/​snack.
Nazy’s helpers Marta and Alba are two very compassionate and capable women who both speak Spanish so this is also a great environment to expose your child to a second language. I believe Nazy speaks French and Farsi as well. On the same token there are various different nationalities of children/​families who attend so it is really great exposure for young children.
I could not be more happy than I am with Melody Childcare and highly recommend it! There is no doubt your child will feel comfortable and loved here and that is what was most important for me!

Nazy and Martha have been taking care of our daughter since she was a year old and we couldn’t be more pleased with the love and care they give when she is there. We tried institutional daycare centers before sending her to Nazy’s but were not satisfied with the emotional care they extended towards the children. However, the minute we walked into Nazy’s home, the loving environment and the happy kids sealed the deal for us. Unlike other daycare centers Nazy adjusts to our daughter’s schedule. She also cooks organic vegetarian meals for our daughter which she loves. Nazy and Martha are very attentive to our daughter’s needs. We couldn’t ask for more in a home away from home for our daughter.

My daughter has been going to Nazi’s for 2 years, we tried first a school type day care and it was so impersonal, the food wasn’t healthy, my daughter was getting sick all the time and then we finally found Nazi and Martha and our daughter and our entire family love them. Since the moment you meet them you can see that it is a very loving environment, the kids are happy, the food is all organic and healthy, they have many educational activities, and even when we are on vacation my daughter misses them and her little friends. As working parent s we have peace of mind knowing that our little one is in a safe and nurturing place, I can’t say enough good things about them!

Its been a month that my little toddler has been going to the in home childcare center run by Nazy. They have been more than amazing, totally deserve all the praise. My daughter comes home bubbling with joy and calls me the endearments she learnt at Nazy and Marthas. Couldn’t be happier.

Nazy and Martha, the leads at Melody, are wonderful caregivers. We moved here a year and a half ago, and our son has been going to Melody Day Care since then. He loves it there, and we often have to beg him to come home at the end of the day. Highlights: the daycare has a very homey feel; Nazy cooks healthy (international) meals; they helped potty train our son; the space is always very clean; they listen attentively to any special concerns you may have, and follow up on them. We were referred there by a colleague, and there are now three colleagues’ kids there.

Absolutely ideal for infants and toddlers– Nazy is just like family. It’s a wonderful place for love and learning.
