Doug Beech
Our son was just under 1 years old when he started visiting Crystal Star Daycare. Gina walked us through gradual entry and provided us with updates everyday both through photos as well as a very detailed daily journal. Gina provides many activities and also enables the kids to go outside even in the winter as long as the weather is good. The stories, songs and activities shine through as our son continues to learn everyday. We strongly recommend Gina and Crystal Star Daycare.

Crystal Star Daycare offers outstanding childcare. We have entrusted our daughter to Gina’s care for over two years, and have been impressed with the level of dedication, professionalism, and warmth exhibited. Crystal Star has been a safe, educational, and nurturing environment. Safety is always a top priority, and is evident by the protocols Gina has set in place to ensure the well-being of children. We receive detailed daily notes about everything that has occurred including bathroom schedules, meal-time records, and activities. We have peace of mind knowing that our child is in capable hands. The educational aspect of Crystal Star is exceptional. Gina has thoughtfully designed monthly themes and curriculum to stimulate our daughter's mind and foster development and growth. From engaging activities indoor and outdoors to singing, playing, and painting with daycare friends, our daughter has thrived under the guidance of the daycare. What truly sets Crystal Star apart is the genuine care and affection shown by Gina toward our daughter. She is excited to go to daycare in the mornings and talkative about what occurred during the days after we pick her up. It is a warm and welcoming atmosphere where children feel loved, valued, and happy. It's evident that Crystal Star prioritizes the physical and intellectual needs of the children and also their emotional well-being. Crystal Star is an excellent daycare and an invaluable resource for families in the community. We are grateful for the positive impact they have had on our daughter's life and development.

My wife and I highly recommend Crystal Star Daycare. Gina took great care of our daughter starting from when she was around 15 months old. She read books and did fun activities with the kids, she shared what our daughter did that day through notebook entries and pictures sent via WhatsApp, and she has a great backyard for the kids to play around in. Our daughter loved going there and would often talk about Gina and the other kids at the daycare after she got home. She is aging out soon and needs to move on to another daycare, but we would highly recommend Crystal Star. Gina is very qualified, her daycare is loving and safe, and she gave our daughter a terrific experience. It was very easy dropping our daughter off there everyday knowing that she would be in safe hands. We’ll miss you Gina!

Although my wife and I were apprehensive about putting our child in daycare at such a young age, we felt at ease after we found Gina at Crystal Star Daycare. She has been very good with our son from the get-go and very fair and professional with our family. Our son learned and developed great early social skills and boundaries under Gina's care. I'm not sure he would have learned so quickly had he not been introduced to the environment Gina provides for him. She's been able to accommodate us incredibly well with us now relying on her for full-time care. Gina has been watching our son for a year now and we trust that she's providing him with quality care everyday. Our little boy is getting along with all his friends there and we get photo updates of him having fun there everyday. Very happy to have found Gina and Crystal Star for our little one.

As a first time parents, it’s not easy for us to entrust someone to take care of our precious little one. Then we found Crystal Star Infant/Toddler Daycare. If I could give 10 stars I would! Because Gina (the owner) is such an Angel in disguise for us. She’s very understanding, caring and loving towards kids. She’s professional and goes beyond of what we expect her to do (like telling me the shortcuts to the bus stop and letting me drop off my kid 5 minutes early). ☺️ Aside from that, I love how she takes time to write a journal, sending photos to us every day, letting us know what our child is up to. I also love how she lets the kids play in the backyard, in the mini pool on hot days, and does art projects (it really makes us excited to see what our son’s brought us home 😬) All in all, Gina is an incredibly amazingly talented, smart, loving and beautiful human being. I highly recommend Crystal Star Daycare and the service she provides!
