Ellie Daycare 1719 32nd Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94122

"Can't recommend Ellie's Daycare enough! Our son has been at Ellie's Daycare since 2022 and he's so so SO happy there. Elham has created a wonderful environment for little ones of all ages to learn and grow. She provides home cooked meals and lots of space for play, inside and out. She is always doing the cutest seasonal art projects and loves throwing parties for birthdays and holidays. Elham goes all out to make sure the kids feel safe and appreciated, and we love her for it!"

"Our daughters (1.5 yr old and 4 yr old) have attended Ellie’s Daycare for the last 6 months. We absolutely love Elham and her daycare! Our daughters adore her, they are thrilled to go everyday and always smiling when we pick them up - we could not be more happy with the care that is provided. With the pandemic we have had to switch daycares a few times in the last year and can say with absolute certainty that Ellie’s is our favorite. Elham provides healthy, organic meals and snacks to the girls everyday (even adjusting for our picky eaters at times). Elham provides a wonderful environment of play, art, music, and learning - both of our kids are learning so fast identifying colors, shapes, numbers, letters - absorbing so much information. For our older daughter, Elham also reports to us about ways to make sure she is learning and reaching age-appropriate milestones. The artwork that the girls bring home is fun and creative - we love seeing all of it. For holidays and each of the kids birthdays, Elham has large celebrations - the kids love it! She sends videos and pictures from these special days and they are some of my favorite photos of our girls. The hours and flexibility have been great as well. Elham is always very good about advance notice for holiday schedules, and there haven’t been any long closures for holidays, and no covid issues either, which is a big win over past daycares. Her hours allow my partner and I to easily manage pick-up and drop-off, and we’ve never had a daycare where the kids are so excited to get there every morning. All around it has been a wonderful experience taking our kids to Ellie’s."

"We are so grateful for having found such an incredible daycare for our daughter! We’ve joined about a year ago when we moved to the sunset and considered ourselves lucky to have found a place that aligned with our parenting style and family values while Offering a safe environment for our daughter. She thrives in this daycare, we can see how well supported she is emotionally and developmentally by Elham and her helper, and it’s super fun to get to see all of the activities that they do during the day! Our two-year-old has a robust vocabulary, knows a ton of songs, has strong eye/hand coordination and great social skills, we attribute all of this in great part to Elham’ education program. She comes home with a full belly, very clean, fun art work and lots of pictures with her friends. Communicating with Elham has been easy from day one, and love knowing that she truly cares about our daughter’s wellbeing! I definitely recommend this daycare yo any families that are looking for a diverse and warm environment for their kids in the sunset."

"Elham is an incredible caretaker. My daughter has been with her since she was 8 months old, and we've always felt confident in Elham. Plus, my daughter loves her. She makes nourishing meals, has large play areas both inside and out, and always does such cute events around the holidays. My daughter has thrived - both in motor and verbal skills since starting in daycare. We could not be happier and will miss Elham very much. I'd like to echo other reviewers here as well - Elham is so patient and flexible depending on each child's needs. It truly is an "individual experience" for them within a daycare setting."

"Ellie’s Daycare and Reggio preschool has been wonderful for our daughter! Our daughter started here when she was 18 months old. We had a tough start at first — it was almost a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and our daughter had spent no time with anyone outside of our immediate family. She had separation anxiety and we were worried she wouldn’t be able to adjust. But Elham was so warm and patient with her, and had lots of ideas to make the transition successful. The first week was tough but after that our daughter bloomed! She was excited to go to daycare, and cheerful when we picked her up. Since then, her vocabulary and social skills have continued to grow. We appreciate how Elham works with each child individually to help them learn new skills. For example - our daughter started saying please and thank you (didn't learn it from us!) and teaching us new songs that she learned at daycare. She’s not yet 3 years old and she’s already learned the alphabet, counting past 10, and can recognize letters and numbers. Elham works really hard to provide tasty meals and snacks, and does a good job with picky eaters like our daughter. They do a lot of different art projects each week and it's been fun to see how proud our daughter is when she brings them home. Elham also takes care to make the kids feel special on their birthdays and on holidays, and sends pictures so that you don’t feel like you’re missing out. We can't recommend this daycare enough, and we’re excited to send our newborn daughter once she’s ready."
