Elmira's child care 2340 17th Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94116

"I have nothing but positive feedback about Elmira’s daycare. Our son was there for 2.5 years starting in 2020. We fully trusted Elmira and never worried about the happiness and wellbeing of our child. We love that the kids spend a ton of time outside and have a clear schedule throughout the day. The smell from the food she cooked was always amazing. If we have a second child, we’d love a spot in this daycare."

"Elmira and her helpers have taken care of both our children for many years. We could not be happier. She creates great routines and structure for her kids including a solid mid-day nap, plenty of outside time in her backyard, and dance class. She feeds them healthy home-cooked food. Our kids love her oatmeal and her soup — we often smell delicious cooking aromas at drop off. Her space is safe, tidy, and very clean. Above all she really cares, and we feel very lucky to have found her."

"We feel very grateful to have found Elmira. My daughter loved going to her since the first day and still does and looks forward to go to the daycare every single day. Elmira is very kind, compassionate and a very lovely person. Being a first-time parent, I was worried so much that it will take a while for my daughter to get used to the place and I was surprised, she cried may be a few minutes the first day and never again. She would run into the daycare when I open the door and doesn’t look back to say goodbye to me, which even though made me feel sad sometimes, I am very thankful to see how happy she is there so I can go to work and not worry about her, knowing she is in good hands. Having no family close by, Elmira always felt like someone I can share my concerns with parenting or other wise and always appreciated her advice given her experience taking care of kids. She makes us all feel like family and went above and beyond to make sure all our requests are met. My daughter was co-sleeping when we started the daycare close to her first birthday and Elmira put in a lot of effort to get her used to the crib. Her food is amazing, smells so good every time I go there around lunch time, and no wonder my daughter says, “I like Elmira soup, not this one at home mommy!”. They have dance and music classes every week and outdoor play every day in a nice backyard. Her daughter and helper, everyone there are extremely sweet and very committed to what they do. It truly feels like an extended family. My daughter is moving to pre-school now and we are going to miss everyone there."

"Elmira provides experience and expertise when it comes to childcare. I have had two children attend daycare with her since they were babies. Elmira was always so attentive to their needs. She ensures the children are safe, well fed and cared for during their time with her. She abides by a daily schedule and routine so the children have time for play, food (breakfast, lunch and snacks) and also a solid nap. This structure works well so the children know what to expect each day. Her daycare space is always clean and tidy with many age appropriate toys for the children to play with. She has a nice, fenced in backyard space for the children to play in as well. And finally, we experienced many nice and welcoming families who used her as their daycare provider. These are the children who became the early friends of my children. I recommend her. She is smart, trustworthy and a caring daycare provider. Speciality in ages 6 months - 3 years."
