My 2 year old loved going to Seven Little Stars! Sara and her team are so good with the kids and make sure to engage them in free play and fun activities. There’s plenty of outdoor time, rain or shine and art and craft activities so they can be creative. They make sure to send daily updates so you are up to speed…
Sara and her team have been absolutely wonderful! We’ve had her watch both children since 2023. One has moved on to pre-K, but still loves to visit! They both constantly talk about Ms Sara, their teachers, and friends. She has provided tons of support through big changes, challenging behaviors, potty training, and food allergies. We never question the care our child receives. We receive daily communication and pictures which is great! Our children have thrived, learned so much, but the most important is they have so much fun every day. Thank you!

Wonderful Experience Over the Past Two Years!
My daughter has been attending this daycare for the past two years, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention she receives every day. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and truly care about each child’s growth and happiness.
The environment is always clean, safe, and filled with fun and educational activities. I’ve seen so much improvement in my daughter’s social skills, confidence, and learning. She looks forward to going every morning, which says a lot about how comfortable and loved she feels there.
I’m so grateful to the entire team for creating such a positive and nurturing space for the kids. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching place for their child!
Thanks Sara & Miss Farah

We are so incredibly happy with our decision to send our daughter to Seven Little Stars Daycare! From the very beginning, Sara has been nothing but warm, welcoming, and professional. It's a place that truly feels like a second home.
Sara create a nurturing and engaging environment where our daughter feels safe, happy, and excited to learn every single day. We've seen her confidence blossom as she's made new friends and explored so many creative activities, from fun art projects to imaginative.
We always feel informed about her day from dozens of photos! It's clear that they are dedicated not just to the children's academic and social development, but also to their emotional well-being.
Seeing our daughter so happy to go to school in the morning is the best testament to the wonderful community they have built. We wholeheartedly recommend Seven Little Star Daycare to any family looking for a high-quality, caring, and supportive preschool experience.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Seven Little Stars Daycare over the past two years. The teachers are so kind and truly treat the children with love and care. Communication has been excellent—we receive daily updates with photos, details about learning activities, meals, and nap time, which gives us so much peace of mind and helps us further engage in conversations at the end of the day with our son about his day.
They do engaging daily activities and fun weekly themes that are always age-appropriate, plus they provide academic materials that have helped my son thrive. At age three, he already knows his letter names and sounds and can count past 30, which is a testament to the thoughtful curriculum that Sara has planned.
The environment is safe, nurturing, and well-structured, and we’ve always felt confident leaving our child in their care. I would highly recommend seven Little Stars Daycare
to any family looking for quality care for infants through age 3. We will miss Sara and the other teachers tremendously!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Seven Little Stars daycare. It has been an absolute blessing for our family. Our daughter was only able to attend for one year because we moved, but this daycare was so fantastic, that leaving it was the hardest part of moving (and moving across the country with an almost 2-year-old has plenty of hard parts). The teachers truly loved our daughter like family. I was constantly in awe of the new skills and knowledge that she returned home with. The environment is warm, bright, happy, and clean. The yard is fantastic too. It’s large, well-maintained, and with lots of safe play structures for the kids. They send 20+ photos every day of what the kids are up to, and a detailed daily report about what they ate and did that day. Healthy, fresh and varied meals are provided. I really couldn’t dream of a better place for young children to spend their days, and will always be grateful for the year that we spent at Seven Little Stars with Sara, Farah, Sohi and Nasrin.

Today is his last day because we moved to another area; otherwise, I would have kept him there until he turns 5. The whole experience has been wonderful.

We received immediate updates if any incidents occurred, along with detailed daily reports and pictures every day. My son has made so many good friends at the school and loves his teachers. I highly recommend this family care to you.

I recently visited Sara's family childcare, and I couldn’t be more proud of what she’s accomplished. Having been one of our teachers at KinderCare, it's inspiring to see how she's transformed her passion for early childhood education into such a warm, loving environment.
The children were happy, engaged, and clearly thriving. The atmosphere was filled with positive energy, and it’s obvious that Sara puts her heart into making sure each child feels safe and loved while learning.
I've seen many childcare centers, including well-known ones like Bright Horizons, but Sara's family childcare stands out. The personalized care, attention to detail, and genuine love for the children here create an environment that truly feels like a home away from home.
If you’re looking for a nurturing and educational place for your child, I highly recommend Sara's family childcare. She’s doing an incredible job, and any child would be lucky to be in her care.
