"I can't say enough about Mariana and Sandra...we got so incredibly lucky to find these ladies! I am a first-time mom who was very nervous about the whole concept of home daycare but wow have I changed my mind!
From the first day we met them, their entire family made us feel so comfortable, and my daughter was smiling and playing within minutes. I was never worried about her at all when I went back to work because Mariana and Sandra sent me tons of pictures and updates about how she was doing and it was so reassuring to see how much fun she was having.
The daycare facility itself is cleaner than my own house! It is colourful and cozy and a very safe space for the little ones. They often play in the backyard or at the nearby park when the weather is nice and they always have a variety of new toys to keep their interest! The family is often around and the children get to know and love everyone especially Mariana's sweet daughters who absolutely adore playing with the babies.
Breakfast, lunch and snacks are prepared at home for the children and the variety of food has been absolutely wonderful and we have discovered many new things that my daughter loves to eat! We are absolutely thrilled that such nutritious food is provided but also that it is different every day so they never get bored and learn to like many flavours.
Mariana and Sandra really take the time to get to know each one of the children individually and their likes, dislikes and personalities. There are new learning activities, songs, and crafts for them every day and she has learned so much and the gifts they bring home are amazing. I can't believe how much effort is put into everything. Most importantly for me as a parent I know that my daughter is getting tons of love, individual attention and hugs. She gets so excited when we arrive in the morning and puts her arms out for "yaya" to pick her up...I'm a little jealous!
Thank you so much to Mariana, Sandra and their entire family for taking such good care of our daughter. Anyone would be lucky to be able to get a spot here!"

"We are so happy to have found MotherHen Home Daycare. The care and love Mariana and Sandra give our daughter is outstanding. My mind is put at ease knowing my daughter is well taken care of, learning and all around enjoying her day while we’re at work. Although we’ve only been there a short time, I feel like we’re already part of the family. We look forward to reading the daily reports to see what fun activities and yummy meals our daughter got to enjoy that day. I can’t say enough good things about this home daycare."

"I could write a novel about how amazing this home daycare is!
Mariana and Sandra provide the most love, care and compassion for my two girls. We have had our girls in other home daycares as well as centres, but they cannot compete with the nurturing and loving atmosphere from these two women.
Sadly we have to leave...ONLY because we are moving to a new city. I am absolutely devastated that our girls won’t be able to be with Mariana and Sandra everyday.
When our youngest first started back in August she wasn’t walking and we really didn’t trust others with her. After a few weeks, she was walking and couldn’t wait to see these ladies each morning!
They truly take the time to get to know your child and they care about them as though they are their own.
I would highly recommend this daycare to anyone who is looking for exceptional care!"

"MotherHen daycare is the absolute best! I was so anxious going back to work after my first, the thought of anyone taking care of my son other than me, made me nervous. But the care and love he receives every day, and even days when he isnt there, the fun, friends he has made and just the fact that they love my son like their own, is something I would have never imagined and I am oh so grateful for. He loves going every day and is always so happy! The attention to detail, the understanding of needs, the focus on the kids as individuals, not pushing them into other's routines, their learning and just focus on nutrition, eucation and outdoors, makes me oh so happy to have found this daycare, but really, this family. Mariana and Sandra have so much love, compassion and dedication to the kids. They love what they do and we love them! You go above and beyond every day and we thank you so much!"

"Mariana and Sandra go beyond of what I could expect as a home daycare provider.My kid stayed with them for 3 years until we were ready for school.They are devoted to the well-being of the kids from food to aged appropriate games.Mariana was a great support when we reach potty training time and scheduling good sleep habits. They created a home inviting space for us as a family."

Your child will be loved, cared for, well fed, and will enjoy daily activities that are so educational you will see your child's development grown on a daily basis!"

"There's no better way to describe this day care as other than 'home away from home' . Mariana and Sandra are such loving and genuine people that my son doesn't think twice about going to Mariana's place. They are not just a day care provider for my son, but our relationship grew to become family friends with their entire family. It saddens me that my son cannot be there anymore due to our financial reasons but I know that this relationship is there to last. My son will visit them often and I know he is truly welcomed there. If you are looking for someone to truly care for your precious little one, you don't have to think twice about it here. They provide great healthy meals and activities suitable for each stage of development for children they care for, and more than anything else, the love they feel in this place is priceless."

"There are no words to describe the quality of care my daughter receives from Mariana and Sandra. She is loved and welcomed into the daycare like family. I truly can not ask for more loving and caring hands to watch my little girl while I'm at work. Mariana and Sandra go out of their way to ensure the little ones in their care are safe, well fed, stimulated, and receive extra hugs and kisses. From homemade prune purees for upset tummies to daily updates on my child's day, they always make sure that baby and mommy are happy. I feel truly blessed and grateful to have these two amazing and nurturing women take care of my little girl."

"My son had a terrible experience at a daycare and he is, to this day, super attached to me. When we first visited Mariana I knew she was different from all the other provider we met. Unlike most of other providers she was very patient in letting my son take his own time to approach her. This made the difference on how my son now views Mariana. She is just not a provider for him. She is a second "mom" that looks after him while mommy is at work. The relationship Mariana built with my son is a genuine caring and loving relationship that I cannot ask for a better person to car for my son. She cooks amazing meals for them daily and understands that each children have a unique need and personality. So thankful for her."

"Mariana is an exceptional childcare provider. My daughter did not want to come home after staying in Mariana's care for a few days. Mariana is a warm, loving person and a fantastic care provider. She not only ensures her pupils' safety in a creative, fun and educational environment but she also provides high quality food to the children she cares for. Mariana's nutritious and tasty meals are made at home with love and from organically grown products. I would recommend Mariana as a care giver to anyone in need of such service.
- Mom of a very happy girl."
