Perera Family Child Care

My daughter has been at Perera Family Daycare for 8 months, and in that time she has blossomed so much in their care. My baby adores Mona and has learned so many good habits there. She’s learned to count, recite the alphabet, countless songs and many more wonderful things. I feel my daughter is extremely well cared for; never a diaper rash, any bumps and scrapes well tended. Mona is also very understanding and flexible with pick up and drop offs. Of course I try to adhere to our agreed upon schedule but I’m human and things happen. She has been more than accommodating on those few occasions. I rue the day when we finally have to part ways when she starts preschool, but I know my daughter is considerably better off having been in her care.

We were extremely apprehensive when we started looking at day cares. I was going back to work, and our son was 3 months old. We visited many, and were not impressed. There was something missing from all of them. How do you know who is going to take care of your child like you would, and love and nurture them. I asked a co-​worker, who lives in the same area, where she takes her son, and she lit up when she told me about «Miss Mona’s». I immediately asked her to send me Mona’s number. We did a visit, and my husband and I were immediately impressed. We knew we found the place. The children were well-​adjusted, and played so well together. You can tell that she loves the kids, and they love her as well.
She has done so much for our son developmentally… tummy time, singing, dancing, reaching, and rolling over. She makes him baby food from scratch, and she communicates exactly what he does every day.
My husband is in the entertainment industry, and his schedule changes regularly. Mona makes any accommodations to an early drop off with a smile. The prices are so reasonable, but she has given us something priceless, and that is piece of mind. I can’t say enough good things about Miss Mona!!!

Mona has definitely been a blessing to our family! As a first time mom I was a nervous wreck when it was time to start looking for a daycare for my daughter. I checked out several home daycares and centers but it when it came to time to decide Mona’s daycare was a no brainer. She is very caring and nurturing and my daughter loves her! «Mona» «Mona» was really one of her first words. What I like best is her healthy home cooked meals, flexibility (there are times when I’m running late from work), and the fact that my DD is learning so much. She comes home singing new songs and saying new words almost daily. We are so happy we found her!

For me, searching for daycare for my children was one of the most uncomfortable things I ever had to do. I dreaded leaving them with anyone at all. I went to many daycares to look around and they were all very nice. But I still held back. When I met Mona we instantly clicked. I saw Mona’s facility on a Friday, and my daughter started the following Monday. That was in January 2015. Now my 1 year old also attends and I have never looked back. I have complete confidence in Mona to keep my children safe, engaged and happy. If you are looking for a daycare that balances directed activities with explorative play, then I highly recommend Perera Family Daycare. Here are a just a few reasons why I am 100% satisfied with my children’s care:
1) Mona cooks at least twice a day for the children — plenty of fresh protein, fruits and vegetables. My kids eat better with her than with me.
2) The children have 2 large rooms indoors and 2 large play areas outdoors. The toys are well organised, age appropriate, developmentally nurturing, and plentiful.
3) The facility is always, always spotlessly clean.
4) Mona is as loving as any mother. My children trust and love her. She has no discipline difficulties. The children respect her, so she is able to deter poor behaviour choices sensitively and with ease.
5)Every child has their personal needs met. Mona is extremely in tune with the contrasting needs of my 1 and 3 year olds. She honours each child’s feelings. The infants and older children eat together and play separately and together depending on the activity. Mona has ⁷⁄₈ children at the time of this posting.
6) My daughter didn’t talk before she went to Mona. Now she is chatty and social. She is willing to try new things because her experiences at Mona’s have helped open up her heart and mind.
7) Mona texts me pictures of my kids at least twice a week. It is so comforting to see that they are busy and happy. They come home with a new piece of art every few days. This week they made Hungry Caterpiller booklets and American flag posters.
8) Mona has over 15 years of experience with many college units in child development, and this shows in her professional approach towards everything. She is thoughtful and very communicative.
9) Mona and her one helper are never sick. Ever! It’s kind of amazing. I think Mona genuinely adores children. She has a big heart. She is always full of energy and smiles.
10) Mona is flexible and understanding. When I have gotten held up, I don’t worry about calling Mona or being late. She is very understanding.
I am a teacher, so it’s in my nature to evaluate other educators. I see so much benefit to my children due to Mona’s care. She gets an A+++++ in my opinion.

Miss Mona’s is one of the best daycare providers! When I had to return to work I looked at so many places but even though some of them were decent, I just had no peace leaving my baby. However, after I met Miss Mona, I knew I found the right place! Miss Mona provides a very nurturing, loving and peaceful environment. My daughter adjusted very quickly and she loves going to Miss Mona’s. She has so much fun and has learned so much. She enjoys the arts and crafts, her vocabulary has increased a lot, she comes home singing songs they learned and she always talks about her friends and the fun things she did. Miss Mona also provides healthy meals and snacks and her rates are very, very reasonable. If you are looking for a safe and loving place for your child, give Miss Mona a call. We love Miss Mona!
