Sonrisa's is the best! My son just turned three and has been attending daycare at Sonrisa's since he was 18 months old. I wish he would never have to leave. It's incredible all the opportunities that the kiddos have - hiking in Pacifica, frequent trips to the beach, socially distanced trips to the zoo, lots of art, making food, practicing fine and gross motor skills, dancing, stories, learning through play and being out in the community. Every day is something new. My son has special needs and the fact that Sonrisa's is helping him learn everyday says a lot, because not every daycare would be able to support him in such a loving and nurturing environment. He is constantly challenged but also loved, and I see the growth in him every day.

After being a stay at home mom for a year, I thought my son's transition to daycare might be difficult. But I was surprised at how quickly he began to love getting dropped off, and how comfortable he is being there. After just a week or two, he had absolutely no issues being separated from me because the woman who runs the daycare, Martha, has created such a wonderful environment. There's no better feeling than being at work and knowing my son is well taken care of, happy, and thriving while at daycare. Martha is so loving and such a fantastic caretaker. She takes them outside for an adventure everyday (different parks, the library, Noe rec center- they have so much fun!), feeds them healthy homemade food, and sings to them all the time. The program is also full Spanish immersion. I really couldn't have chosen a better place for my son to be.

Trust me, do not pass up the opportunity to have your kiddo enroll with Martha! Our daughter is 5 now and has been with Martha since right after she turned 2. We opted to keep her at Martha's instead of enrolling her in TK because we thought that the development opportunities she was getting with Martha were just as good as what she would be getting by enrolling in school, plus her Spanish fluency increases every day, and she has such a great relationship with Martha. (Seriously... as first-time parents we often find that Martha has taught our kid to do something that it hadn't occurred to us yet to to, like spelling her name, learning to read, and chewing with her mouth closed, haha!)

Martha takes the kids out on outdoor adventures EVERY SINGLE DAY. (This is clearly beneficial in a COVID world, but it's actually what Martha has always done with them, even pre-pandemic.) These kids DO NOT spend all day hanging out inside. She really tires them out for you! She also sends pictures and videos all day long so that you always know what they're up to.

Sonrisa's is like a big family! Martha opens her home to the kids and gives them great opportunities for learning and play every day. My daughter has been going there since she turned 1 and is very fluent in Spanish and loves to play with her amigos every day!
