I met with this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"I’m posting this comment in 2022. So this daycare hasn’t had reviews in years. I found this daycare by accident because of the close proximity to my home. I put myself on waitlist in Fall. They said a spot might be available in the next Summer. I plan to go back to college & take care of my son alone has been challenging, so I contacted them again in Winter the same year. They said a spot might be open in next month, so we’re invited to visit. My son is a very good boy but he’s shy & attached to me, so he cried for the first 10 minutes or so. They sound very credible. Then I started the topic where I say I don’t believe to put my son in an unlicensed daycare, not to come out as rude, but as a fact that was in the recent news, and to actually compliment them. Sara started telling me things that sound to me is justifying that accident to kids is “normal”, then she proceeded to say “Although it, thankfully, has never happened to us.” So, she contradicts herself by saying it. I wasn’t referring to “small accident”, but I haven’t had the chance to tell her that specific unlicensed daycare had a toddler died although she was prohibited from continuing to operate. After that conversation, she changed her expression toward me 360 degrees, we didn’t speak for 10 minutes while I tried to finish the extremely hot tea I was offered, to the point I left in unpleasant feeling. I live close by but I felt like I just walked out of the most hostile daycare in all my experience checking out other private daycares. I contacted her again because I haven’t heard back, because her daycare is the closest to me, and I’m planning to pursue my education. She didn’t reply my text, so I called her the next day. I asked her because if we’re on the waitlist & interviewed, but the spot was filled up, whether we should re-apply or not. I’d like to believe that someone who filled up the spot is before us, not because they dislike us for whatever reason, or even discriminate us. Her rude response was “I’m not sure, you have to text me again, thank you for calling, bye.” That’s all in one sentence. So, I texted her again thinking she might be busy. She never get back to me. So she felt more comfortable texting but didn’t reply any of my texts & proceeded to cut the conversation short while on the phone? I felt that we’re discriminated based on our race because we haven’t done anything wrong.
I keep all the texts between us, and nothing I wrote or said come out as aggressive. I don’t think it’s a language barrier either. I’m very careful but straight forward with my question. She’s very sensitive toward how I say it, but she won’t let others finish talking. And I wonder if this is the person I should trust my son with, considering my school will be full-time, and I can’t imagine if I miss picking my son up by 5 minutes, what she’ll say? I met babysitters, caretakers, foster parents, other daycares who would just come up to us to say hi. They’re very close by and I like their space a lot compared to other daycares, but it really is not worth my experience, even before my son got into it."

I obtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Our daughter has been going to Blueberry Muffins since the beginning of the year and we know that each day she is going to a loving home with lots of care and attention.
Leila's love for children is very apparent! As she is patient, kind, playful, and provides a safe nurturing place for children. In her care, our daughter has play time, lunch, snacks and nap time as well as outdoor activities like going to the neighborhood park with a playground – which she just loves!
Leila has an immaculately clean home and play area, completed with a soothing nap room (which our girl loves).
The location is in a great neighborhood that has a lot of child friendly amenities within walking distance. It is 1/2 a block to Vancouver General Hospital - which is reassuring.
Each morning we visit, Leila greets us at the door with a smile. Her home daycare is one that my husband and I highly recommend without any reservations. "
