Carolina Galarreta Aima
“Aidin is truly heaven sent. She has been like a second mom to my child ever since he was a little baby. It’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the kids she looks after; my son always felt safe, happy, and excited to go to daycare every single day. He built real, loving relationships there, and even after we had to move and he grew up, he still remembers Aidin with so much affection. She made such a positive impact on his early years. Unlike other home daycares, Aidin’s has only a small group of children, so each child gets a lot of personal attention. The space is always clean, full of natural light, and filled with fun and creative projects. The kids eat well, play happily, especially outside on the playground, and truly thrive in her care. I can’t recommend her enough. 5 stars all around!”
