Garden of Angels Daycare and Preschool

Very professional and friendly. She allowed me to do drop-​in care for a week, very last minute. Overall happy, although I wish she had earlier/​longer hours.

I would never recommend this daycare. She tells you to not fill in the payable section on your check because she has a stamp but she actually makes the checks payable to other people. I got copies of my cancelled checks for tax purposes and was shocked to see that they were not stamped with the business name. She was also not very friendly and changes the price after I signed the contract and said that I had misunderstood. There were warning signs from the start and I should have trusted my gut. I definitely would not recommend.

I used to visit Garden of Angels as an inspector for a state funded agency. Firoozeh provides care above and beyond all state requirements for your child’s safety and development. I never found the children to be anything but safe, healthy, and happy.

Not the best daycare. I left my kids in the morning when she had TV on. Picked them up when she had TV. on. Went there once to check on my kids in the middle of the day, and the TV was on. Her answer to my complain was: it is educational. Sometimes she leaves the kids with her family member who are not licensed.

I was beyond nervous about having my 3 year old in someone else’s home. She’s always been cared for by a family member. My husband & I felt it was time for our daughter to be in a preschool setting but couldn’t afford the tuition at most facilities in our area & I was too nervous to look for in home preschool/​daycares. When we found Firoozeh we knew she was perfect! Her home was perfect! My daughter is learning pre school curriculum that is preparing her for kindergarten. She has learned her ABC’s, colors, numbers, days of the week & name recognition. Last week she was showing me Yoga poses! Yoga poses! She knew the names of all the poses too. The children here are also well behaved & adore eachother. Firoozeh is wonderful with our daughter. I would definately recommend Garden of Angels Daycare.

Everyone knows the hardest part of being a working mom is leaving your child (ren) with someone else all day. The guilt will not go away but what does help is that you find someone/​place where your child is happy, growing and loved.
DAYCARE DESCRIPTION:
Basically the owner (Firoozeh) converted her entire downstairs home and outside area to a daycare. You take off your shoes when you go inside so it’s clean for the kids and there is a separate room for them to take their naps. Some of the daycares I checked out when we first moved here had the play area convert into sleep area and just placed plastic mattes for them to sleep on — yukky. This place has a sleep room so the kids don’t get woken up from any noise outside.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Firoozeh does an amazing job with the kids. She is so professional, always wearing gloves to change their diapers. Each day I get a sheet informing me of when my daughter ate, slept, peep/​pooped. Firoozeh always takes classes to keep updating her preschool and daycare activities and makes sure the kids are ready for school one day!
The activities, toys and books are wonderful and all the love that Firoozeh pours into the daycare and the kids is visible.
FUNNY NOTE:
My daughter did not want to leave one afternoon when I picked her up a bit earlier than usual (thinking she would want to dash out of there) and that was when my guilt started fading (just a bit).
I highly recommend this place and trust me I know it’s good since I drive here from East Sacramento almost each day (my job is not here but it’s so nice to know my daughter loves it and has fun so it’s worth it to me!)
