Aunti Moni’s Daycare

As you can see I have been Unilocaling for years. We have had our boys at Aunti Moni’s several times over the year. She has a wonderful home and accepts drop-in’s which we use quite frequently. Our boys are well taken care of, they even do little field trips. What most impressed me was that within just a short time my boys (3 and 4) both could recite our names & address down to the ZIP and city… I was amazed. The environment is very learning oriented, safe and respectful. I hope to bring my boys there for years to come.

My son has been with Monica two days a week for the last year. My wife and I have peace of mind knowing that our son is being well looked after each day he is in daycare. Monica is warm is very good with little ones, very important to us as my son began attending around one year of age and is usually the youngest child there. The other kids treat him well also. We have been very happy with the quality of care and would recommend Monica to other parents.

Monica has been a great teacher to my son. She has guided me in his development as a toddler. She has worked with our schedule and is a great communicator. She accepts 4Cs/​Davis family resource center, which was a great help for me.

My 1.5 year old calls Monica Mama-​A — I think this says everything about how happy we are with his care. This is his first daycare experience and he is thriving. From the moment we walked into Monica’s I have been impressed with how peaceful, happy and friendly the children in her care are. My son loves going to daycare, talks about Monica and the other children constantly, and though he is happy to see me when I pick him up, he is often reluctant to leave.
Monica makes food for the children from scratch — it is always healthy and the kids love it. Her house is across the street from a great park they visit frequently and she has an inviting backyard. She reads and sings to the kids and works with them on developmentally-​appropriate learning tasks. Before starting daycare I had always held my son for naps but Monica has gotten him napping with the other children.
My family is very thankful for Monica!

My daughter, Khalila, is now 20 months and has been attending Aunti Moni’s Daycare for 6 months.
Monica has demonstrated that she is a loving, caring, and effective provider. What initially put Aunti Moni’s Daycare above the other day cares we visited was her warm personalty and the other children at her daycare. Seeing the children interact with each other is amazing, they are all super polite and caring with one another. And she cooks healthy meals for the children everyday.
Monica has also been opening to coaching myself through many of my daughter’s transitions as she gets older and moves into new developmental phases in her life. She has also helped also in terms of promoting reading and language development, every week Khalila’s vocabulary is growing.
I would easily recommend Monica to anyone else who is looking for a safe, trusting, caring, and honest daycare for their children.

My son Dylan has been going to Aunti MOni’s daycare for over 3 years. He is turning 6 soon, and started kindegarten this year. Dylan loves school and is doing extremely well, in great part due to Monica. She worked on the kindegarten standards with him and he is ahead of his class. She watches him afterschool each day and she is located directly across the street from his school which is very convenient and there is a park too. Dylan eats well and enjoys the other kids that are there. Monica has been very good for Dylan and our family. We appreciate the great care in which she takes of him.

My 5 year old daughter, Olivia has been attending Aunti Moni’s daycare for 2 years.
Monica Golondrina and Noël Golondrina have quickly become like family to Olivia and to myself. I love them deeply!
Monica, who is her teacher, is patient, loving, kind but firm with the children. NO child is allowed to be mean or disrespectful to anyone and they all have learned to treat each other with kindness. She cooks well balanced meals, and Olivia has learned to eat and love broccoli and cauliflower (no kidding!).
Olivia turned 5 in December so must wait until next year to start actual Kindergarten, but is WAY ABOVE any K-​school aged child. Monica has «learning time» every day and Olivia is flourishing. She will be totally ready (most likely advanced) when she goes to public school.
I would absolutely recommend any parent to Monica, no matter your child’s age. I stay in contact with several of the parents and kids who left for school and my child has made great relationships.
I wish she go here forever! :)
