Mishutka Group Family Day Care

My son went to Mishutka before he started school. It was highly recommended by many and I decided to visit it even though it was further away from my home. By that time I already visited many daycares and was convinced that my child is going to be crying for the first week until he gets used to the daycare. However, he became engaged with other kids and spent half a day by himself without crying once. On the second day he stayed until lunch and on the third day he picked a bed for himself and wanted to stay with the rest of the kids. So he didn’t cry even once! I highly value that the daycare is always neat and very clean, the whole facility is newly renovated and there is a private backyard for kids to play. The number of kids is small, so there is a lot of individualized attention. For me it was really important that if my child is moody, not feeling well or just tired there is someone who will take time and effort to comfort him, empathize with and just give a little extra love! The daycare puts up performances by children with dances, singing, costume parties and games at least 6 – 7 times a year. There is a music, dance and English teacher who come in. There is a high emphasis on potty training, learning Russian through books, respecting other kids and getting a good preparation for Gifted and Talented at no extra cost. Kids are constantly in motion — they are either playing outside, or doing aerobics in the morning, or practicing performances. Yet no matter what time you come to pick up you child 11 am, 3 pm or 6 pm they kids are always calm, happy and clean. There is never any fighting, screaming, running around or crying. Most importantly, my son happy and looked forward to going to Mishutka! He still has very warm feelings towards his first teachers and often talks about them.
