Marie's Care 3557 McLaughlin Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90066

"To say Marie and her team are the best would be an understatement. You simply cannot (and will not) find anyone who cares about the health and safety of your child more than Marie. We have sent both of our kids here. They go above and beyond what is expected (or even advertised) and she has saved us numerous times. My kids understand Spanish, have no food aversions, eat with spoons and forks, walked WAY early, know how to navigate a garden, learned to wash their hands, are potty trained, and polite toward others all because of Marie and her team. My 3 year old knows numbers, letters, animals, and phrases far beyond his age group and he's gone to Marie's since he was 8 months old. The daycare is outside, which encourages active play, but there is lots of reading and learning happening as well. It's a great mix of both. I prefer having the kids outside instead of being inside all day. Marie is typically referral based, so if there is an opening, consider yourself lucky."

"We stumbled upon Marie's daycare service after searching around, looking for a place to send our two year-old kid. We toured a couple of daycare options in and around the Mar Vista/Santa Monica area and are really happy that we chose Marie and her team to care and nurture our child. Marie has a wonderful space, primarily centered around her outdoor space in the backyard that feels open and airy and really allows kids to be kids and not be cooped up in indoors all day. The daycare is great about providing meals and snacks for kids and everything is kept very organized and clean. Most importantly, Marie is amazing with kids, helping to grow their minds and body with the proper attention that each child needs, and doing it all with patience and love. We've recommended Marie's to our friends with little ones and highly recommend others to consider her daycare for their early year childcare needs."
