Jerónimo's daycare is a place that gives us a lot of peace of mind because they care about his health and hygiene, they organize group interaction activities for the children, the teachers are very affectionate and maternal, and all of this makes us feel reassured that our family member is being cared for by professionals.

Our little Jerónimo is a child with many skills, which he has developed at the daycare where he is cared for in the most loving and safest way. We see that he is a very happy baby when he is there; he has fun and learns new things every day that contribute to his intellectual development. Thank you, Strawberry Daycare, for caring for our little Jerónimo with dedication and love.
