“Meme's Place was a wonderful experience for us and for our daughter. The care taker truly loves the children and spends lots of time planning fun events and curriculum for the children. Our daughter was loved, well fed and extremely well cared for. She made the transition to daycare easy and was always attentive and present with the children. I would recommend this daycare to anyone who wants a warm, loving and stimulating home for their child. Additionally, the food she made for the children was nutritious and allowed us to get our daughter to try new things, which she now loves! We can't say enough about how positive our experience was or how much we love the provider.”

“If you want your child to be loved as if he/she was at home with a relative, you will certainly experience that at Meme's daycare! Every part of your child's care is to the highest quality and your child will receive a lot of loving attention. The days are structured yet filled with free/interactive play. You will be provided with a summary of your child's day. The meal plan consists of freshly cooked healthy organic meals (no processed foods!). I highly recommend Meme's daycare in every way.”
