– Hidaya Family Child Care is the best In-Home Day Care in the area. Before I chose this day care, I investigated over thirty centers and visited over ten centers. I found that Hidaya Family Child Care had everything my children needed. First, the staff are super kind to the children and very in tune to each of the children’s needs. Secondly, the staff are very professional and courteous. They always approached me to tell me how my child was doing. They helped me potty train my son by giving me suggestions and reinforcing the potty training during the day while I was at work. My children always left smiling reassuring that they had a positve expeience. The staff interact with the children helping with social development and problem solving. Finally, the reason I chose HFCC was their facility (their home). The facility is always kept in great condition. They keep the child care area clean and orderly. The room is bright and welcoming. They have different areas for different activities. As a parent, I felt confident that my children were in good and safe hands. The staff have all the proper documents on display, which reassured me that they are in compliance with state requirements. It is obvious they go beyond these standards. My experience with Hidaya Family Child Care was exceptional. My family and I moved back to California and this is why we are no longer there. While we were in Seattle, HFCC became family to us and for that I am forever grateful! Keep up the awesome work and I wish you all the best! –
