This daycare is honestly like a caring and loving home. All the staff are so sweet and kind, and they really treat all the kids like their own. You can see they actually love them, and that gives me so much peace of mind when I drop my girl off. On top of that, the food they cook is always fresh, creative, and healthy. And my kid eats literally everything (somehow). This place isn't even that close to my house but it's worth the drive for my peace of mind!

My daughter absolutely thrived at this daycare! The teachers are fantastic; so caring, patient, and knowledgeable. They taught her so much, and she was very well prepared for kindergarten because of their efforts. The staff truly go above and beyond, and Belinda and Richard are such wonderful, kind people who make the whole environment feel welcoming and supportive. I couldn’t be happier with our experience here and would highly recommend this daycare to any family.

I have been meaning to write this review for a few months now. Emelia's Child Development Center has been a great place for our daughter. We moved from Norway and our daughter had some adjustment time. Emelia's has been patient, warm, and caring. The teachers have been wonderful and I can't say enough good things about Belinda and Richard. They have been fantastic. It feels like an extended family. The environment is positive, caring and safe. For personal reasons, we have gone back to Norway for a few months and are hoping we can get back to Emelia's when we are back. I highly recommend Emelia's!!!

I can't say enough great things about Emelia's. Our kiddo went there for 2 years and we had no concerns during that time period. Belinda's attention to detail and care for all the children is very much appreciated. The daycare is always clean and the food is high quality including hot meals at lunch. The summer activities and field trips were a hit each year. All of the teachers are fantastic and we will miss them dearly. They were even checking and updating us on our kiddo's kindergarten preparedness which was good to know. Thank you, Belinda, Richard and staff for proving us with a stress free daycare experience and caring for our little one.

We are so grateful to have gotten into Emilia’s! Our friends had always raved about this daycare, and it hasn’t disappointed! Belinda is such a fantastic and devoted director. She has filled her facility with such loving and caring staff (truly the best caregivers), which made the back-to-work transition so much easier. We always know that our little guy will be in such good hands when we drop him off. They have a great schedule that perfectly balances free play, structured and educational activities. I would highly recommend Emilia’s to anyone looking for an inclusive, trustworthy and dedicated daycare.
