What families are saying…
“Mrs. Z is an exceptional care provider. For this first time Mommie she made the process easier through open communication, a willingness to support through the transition and a welcoming home. Mrs. Z came highly referred to our family and in one meeting we knew she would be perfect to not only care for our daughter but also encourage learning and play. Our daughter loves her time with Mrs. Z and we couldn’t be more thankful for their bond.”
“I have been at three different locations of education explorers with my daughter and I could not recommend them enough. All the teachers are kind, loving and cheer on your child’s success like their own. The spaces are thoughtfully put together for the best learning and growth for each child. The overall inclusiveness, sense of community and family environment creates lasting friendships for not only your child, but you too. It really feels like family.
Zakkiyya’s vision is continually growing and improving to best help all families. She makes it a point to discuss things with all parents and makes you feel heard. I would highly recommend considering one of their locations.”
“Zakkiyya is a passionate, professional, communicative flexible, reliable, safe childcare provider but more than that she’s a real mother. My son absolutely loves her and her kids, he talks about them daily, their love for him shines through even though he is no longer in her care full time. If the stars aligned perfectly we would choose this daycare time and time again.”
