Pages Family Day Care 1922 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404

"Pages Family Child Care is an exceptional place and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. The owner Erika Pages runs the daycare with so much love, and you can tell how much she and the other teachers (Teacher Emelia and Teacher Maria) care. They care for these children as if they were their own. They nurture their development, they encourage them, they hug them, they support them and they feed their minds and their bellies. They truly listen to you as parent and incorporate in all of the ways that you like to parent at home into their own methods at daycare. You feel seen and heard and like they will treat your child like the individual they are versus just another kid at daycare. My husband and I have been sending our daughter there since she was 9 months old, when we moved from NYC to LA. Erika went above and beyond to accommodate us when we were in town to look at housing and daycare centers a few months prior, and when we finally moved here, she welcomed us and our baby with open arms. She recommended local babysitters who could help out when her daycare was closed, she made special meals for our daughter because she knew she’d like them, she suggested things we might want to buy or do at home to help her lean and grow and she made the transition to daycare so seamless for us and our baby girl. We get texts, pictures and video updates throughout the day, and Erika is always available when we text or call her. As a first time mom, I heavily rely on her for advice and her expert opinion. Most importantly, when we pick our daughter up from Pages Family Childcare, she doesn’t want to come home. They are her second family, and they have become our second family as well. If everything I’ve said so far hasn’t convinced you to send your child to Pages, then know that I am a true Virgo/Type A person who made a crazy-insane excel spreadsheet of local West side daycares and ranked them all with pros/cons after doing virtual and in-person tours, reading online reviews and hitting up ALL the mom groups on FB, and I STILL landed here. Sending my daughter to daycare was not a decision I took lightly, and Pages exceeded all of my expectations. If you’re considering Pages, don’t hesitate, this place is a GEM and Erika is EXCEPTIONAL!!!"

"Pages Family Daycare has been an absolute treasure for our family. Our daughter joined at 9 months old, and the care provided by Erika and her team has been nothing short of exceptional. Their genuine warmth and support made her transition seamless, and their personalized attention, from meals to naps, made us feel like she was in a second home. Watching our daughter grow into a confident toddler under their care has been heartwarming. The diverse weekly activities and changing themes showcased the teachers' creativity, and it's with a heavy heart that we say goodbye due to our relocation. If you're seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for your child, Pages Family Daycare comes highly recommended. Our gratitude knows no bounds for the wonderful experience they've provided."

"Finding a daycare was not easy, and I’m so glad we found Pages Family Daycare through a recommendation from another childcare provider. You can tell Erika and her team are very passionate about what they do and really care for the children and give them individual attention. Erika always kept me posted on what was going on with my baby by sending pictures and text messages and it really helped reassure me that everything was ok (especially in the beginning). In little to no time, my baby was excited every time we approached Pages Family Daycare and always left with a smile on her face. She was exposed to nature walks, music classes and apparently in the Spring they have caterpillars in the class! Unfortunately we had to take her out of the daycare just after 2 months due to relocation, but anyone would be lucky to have Pages Family Daycare a part of their family. They are kind, sweet, loving and empathetic to both parents and children."

"My son attended Pages Family Daycare from ages 3mos. to 2.5 years. All of the caregivers are extremely loving and treated my son as their own. Not only did I feel he was safe, I also knew he was learning–from music to art to science (they play with live butterflies and ladybugs!) to Spanish and so much more. We had a wonderful experience with Erika and her team. Highly recommend."

"Pages daycare is a wonderful environment for children, our now 2 year old daughter has been there for over a year and loves it. Teacher Erika and teacher Maria are amazing with the kids. All the activities, arts and crafts and fun things they do really make the transition from daycare to preschool easy. Every week there is a music teacher that comes and the kids absolutely love it. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my child in the care of a non family member, at this point it is almost like they are family. When my four year old has days off of school at MT Olive teacher Erika has watched her for us and it was a life saver, since me and my wife both work. The food they provide for the kids is healthy and nutritious. If you are looking for a day care for your children do not hesitate to call pages and set up a visit."
