My daughter grew up at this daycare, and I am incredibly grateful to Miss Donna for everything she has done. The food is always delicious, everything is clean and well organized, and the children are well behaved. We absolutely love this place. My daughter is 11 years old now, but we still stop by from time to time just to say hello. ❤️

I would like to share our experience and leave a review for this amazing daycare. Our daughter, Mia, has been attending this daycare for almost four years. She started when she was 18 months old and now she is getting ready to start school. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this daycare. Miss Donna is truly amazing. She is caring, loving, and has a special gift for working with children. She has become like family to us. We are also so thankful for her assistants Miss Yulia, Mr. William and Henry. They are kind, patient, and always make the children feel safe and happy. Mia has learned so much here, made great friends and always loved coming to daycare. Knowing she was in such a caring environment gave us peace of mind every day. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a safe, loving and welcoming place for their child. Thank you, Miss Donna and the entire team, for everything you have done for our family! ❤️❤️❤️

I can not say enough about Helen Lucy Daycare Center. Ms. Donna and staff are warm and kind, they made my daughter feel very comfortable and cared for. Their meal plan is well thought out and nutritious. They taught my daughter a lot of new things to help prepare her for kindergarten. We went from a large chain daycare to this one, and remained here for a little over two years. This daycare was like home away from home for my daughter.

Both my daughters went to Helen Lucy. I was very happy with care and attention provided and I will be forever grateful for all the help and love we received at Helen Lucy Daycare.

There aren’t enough words to describe what an incredible daycare this is. The level of care will not be found elsewhere. Ms Donna and her team treat the children like their own - home cooked meals, learning activities every day, and lots of times outdoors. It’s a very small daycare so it’s very one on one and each child is treated like a family member. My son spent the last three years here and we are beyond grateful we made this decision to send him here

We absolutely love this daycare. Miss Donna cares for both of our children, and we are so grateful for the attention and genuine care she gives them every day. The staff is kind, welcoming, and truly dedicated to the children. We completely trust them with our kids, and that peace of mind means everything to us. They provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. Miss Donna has become such a special part of our children’s lives, and we are so thankful for everything she does. We always feel confident dropping our children off, knowing they are in great hands. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a warm, trustworthy, and truly caring place for their children to thrive.
