Nonna’s Family Child Care

I am so happy I can finally write this review for Zemira and Nonna´s childcare. It has been a life saver for us. We found a place fun, safe and full of love where taking our son for two years. He has been always SO happy to go to ¨Zaza´¨ and Angie, and I have been so relaxed knowing that my child was in great hands. Zemira has so much experience with kids and parents as well. She is able to understand all kind of personalities and their needs. The environment is comfortable like being at your sister´s or aunt´s home. A place that you can always trust and where, as a new mom, you can find advices, help and no judgments of any kinds.
I HIGHLY recommend Nonna´s Family child care to everyone!

I’m writing this review for Nonna’s Family Chid Care as both of my daughter’s were under Zemira’s care for 6−8mos and it was the most loving & fun place for their early child care years. Our now 6 yr old daughter Maya started at Nonna’s when she was 2 yrs old and fell in LOVE with Zemira & made some good friends while at Nonna’s. Then, when our now 4 yr old daughter Eva was transitioning from a nanny share to day care, she started at Nonna’s a bit under 2 yrs of age and also had an AMAZING experience. Zemira & Angela (who was her other child care provider during Eva’s time there) were SO loving with the children and always made sure they had plenty of outdoor outings, whether to the playground, library or GGP, and the kids always loved it! There is such a warmth and love for the kids there, that when it was time for my girls to transition to preschool, it was a VERY hard move for us, as we had such comfort in Nonna’s. I HIGHLY recommend Nonna’s Family Child Care to anyone living in the Sunset or any other neighborhood for that matter, as it’s worth the drive, since you know your children will be in the BEST hands at Nonna’s!

I feel very lucky that we found Zemira, Angie and all of the staff at Nonna’s childcare! When my son was 15 months I decided to go back to work part time after being a SAHM since his birth. Zemira helped make this transition much easier for me and lovingly helped my son adjust. She and her staff are very loving, responsible and patient. I like knowing that my son is with this «second family» when my husband and I are working. At my son’s age, the most important thing to me is that his caregivers are nurturing and kind to him, and I feel all the caregivers there genuinely care about him. An added bonus is that they take the kids on fun outings to the playground, library, museum, nature walks, etc. They also do fun art projects (not my specialty so I like that my little guy does lots of painting there)!
My son loves to eat and I know he enjoys the home cooked meals and healthy snacks he is provided at Nonna’s.
My son is becoming more verbal these days but doesn’t have a ton of language yet. Every night before bed he likes to look at the holiday card from Nonna’s Daycare (of all the kids and caregivers dressed in their Halloween costumes-​adorable!). He then smiles really big and says «Nonna’s!» He seems to be thriving there and I’m really grateful to Zemira and her staff.

Our son has been going to Nonna’s for over a year and he loves it — and we do too! Leaving your young child (Declan was 1.5 when he started there) in the care of someone else can be stressful… but when we found Zemira at Nonna’s we knew we had found a very special place and person. She is WONDERFUL with the kids and creates an environment that is fun, safe, loving, and educational. She is really in touch with what the kids need developmentally and emotionally. She is so warm and has such a great sense of humor — she has definitely taught me a thing or two about how to handle those stressful parenting moments with humor and grace.

Zemira is wonderful! She is reliable, responsible, and patient with my son as well as the other kids. She provides a safe, clean kid friendly space. She engages with the children and helps my son learn group play and sharing. Her fee’s are fair and worth every penny!

Nonna’s is everything a parent could wish for! I visited quite a few child care facilities prior to Nonna’s. From the moment I met Zemira and toured her warm, beautiful home and day care center I’ve only grown more affectionate. While Zemira’s set up provides a wide range of toys, games, activities and over all educational fun that any kid would love, it’s truly the patience and love from Z and her team that make Nonna’s a literal gift. My child adores Nonna’s. When he is ill and has to stay home he cries to go. While my child is reaching pre-​school age I hope to always have Nonna’s in my and my child’s life. I would recommend Nonna’s to any parent that desires a place to leave your child that provides the same care that you would… or better. :)

Nonna’s Family Child Care has been terrific. I am a SAHM, and have what has been affectionately termed an «action child.» I was a bit hesitant to part with my daughter, but at the same time was going a bit batty with the constant one-​on-​one, so I decided to look into day care. Avery took to Zemira, Audrey and the beautiful townhouse right away, making it an easy decision. Since Avery has been going twice a week for a half day, I have observed a huge change in my daughter. She is learning to interact with other children, and picking up new skills, like dancing! Also, she eats like a horse while there (at home she has become very picky), and it is always great, healthy food that makes me wish I was staying for lunch, too. All in all, Zemira, Audrey and their day care has been terrific for Avery and for me, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a terrific place to bring their kids.

While my kids haven’t attended Nonna’s, I am writing this recommendation because their favorite preschool teacher is now teaching at Nonna’s. Audrey is wonderful and was a favorite of kids and parents alike. She is fun, always thinking of creative activities for the kids; she is patient and kind and you can tell she truly loves working with kids. As a parent, she has always been engaging and easy to talk to. In fact, after she and my kids were no longer at the preschool together, I still have her babysit regularly. When I ask my two kids (8 yr old girl and 6 yr old boy) who they want me to call to babysit, Audrey always wins out! I highly recommend any preschool that Audrey is a part of!
