Both of my boys had a great experience with Symphony Child Care.

Ellie is great with children and my kids adore her. She also makes homemade food for them everyday. I would leave 10 stars if I could!

There are endless amounts of great things to share about this incredible daycare that Elly runs. When we first found Elly, we were new parents who were looking for someone we could TRUST with our sweet 6-month-old while away for 10+ hours a day at work. We were nervous about our child not adapting well, not being loved as much as we love her, her not sleeping and eating as well as she does at home, and a setting like this overall being a lot for a little baby. Elly far exceeded our expectations in all categories. Our daughter is now older and transitioning to a preschool, but up until now, Elly was the perfect fit for our daughters' early years in life. Elly cooks homemade meals that all the kids LOVE, she is extremely communicative about daily activities like naps, meals, and diapers, and sends multiple photos per day so you don't feel like you are missing out when you are away from them. We have been with Elly a long time now and are going to miss her dearly. Elly truly loves all the kids like they are her own and her helpers she has hired are also wonderful with all the kids. Her home is set up like a daycare which I loved, as some other at-home daycares don't feel as inviting to children. Elly also really values the importance of educating the kids. She is very organized and throughout the day, the kids have music time, craft time, etc. Our daughter has learned SO MUCH and could sing her ABCs by 18months old. I could go on and on about what a great place this is to send your kids. My honest recommendation? ...Stop reading the rest of the reviews and call her for an opening before they are all gone.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Elly and her daycare. She goes above and beyond to create an enriching, nurturing, and fun environment for the children. Elly offers a wide variety of age-appropriate activities that promote both creativity and learning. Whether it’s hands-on arts and crafts, music and movement, or educational games, each day is filled with opportunities for growth and discovery.

She understands the importance of physical activity and ensures the kids spend plenty of time outdoors, enjoying fresh air and exercise. Additionally, Elly is very mindful of nutrition, providing healthy, well-balanced meals that keep the children energized and happy.

What truly stands out is Elly’s genuine love and passion for working with children. Her warm, patient, and attentive nature creates a safe space where kids feel comfortable, valued, and excited to learn. She has a wonderful ability to engage with each child individually, understanding their unique needs and helping them reach their full potential.

It has been such a blessing to watch my children grow, learn, and thrive under Elly’s care. I am beyond grateful for the peace of mind she provides, knowing they are in such capable, loving hands. I cannot recommend Elly and her daycare highly enough to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and exceptional environment for their little ones.

It’s hard to say goodbye, but we know that our son has gained so much from Symphony’s Daycare and is well prepared for preschool. Elly’s love for child care and development is so apparent. She lets the kids grow into their own personality, yet still giving the knowledge and guidance they need to grow. Making sure to intertwine education and learning with play time, Symphony’s daycare provides a well rounded place of learning, arts, caring and patience. We will always be thankful for the love and care that this Daycare has provided us. Thank you!

Best daycare ever! Do not think twice and enroll your child with symphony family childcare as this daycare has been the greatest blessing in our lives. I am a first time mom and spent what felt like forever searching for the right daycare for my daughter. The moment I met Ellie and saw her beautiful set up I just knew it was the perfect match. Ellie and her staff go so above and beyond for my daughter every single day and I couldn't ask for anything more. They are kind, gentle and nurturing. My daughter has special needs and they do such a terrific job with her. My daughter smiles and claps every day when pulling into their driveway and is full of joy when I pick her up. Ellie makes delicious healthy homemade meals for them every day, plans educational and stimulating activities and makes sure all the kids feel loved. I also love how clean the daycare always is! You can just tell how much the staff loves their children and I am so grateful to have found them. My daughter has improved with her socialization and comes home every day doing new things so I can tell how much she is learning and thriving thanks to them. I will be devastated when she is too old to go here! I unfortunately had to go through a few bad facilities before finding symphony family child care and this place has exceeded all my expectations beyond measure.

If you are looking for someone loving and an advocate for your child's best interests, make Symphony Family Child Care your first choice for daycare.

Elly keeps her daycare spotless, extremely organized, with high quality furniture and toys.

As first-time parents, we appreciate that Elly updates us during the week with pictures and videos along with length of naptime, and food intake daily. She alerts us when our child starts to show signs of illness or other ailments (potential ear infection) so we can take preventative measures, as needed.
We love that Elly makes homemade breakfast and lunch with healthy snacks in between. She is always thinking of the kids' best interest, nourishing their development through play and activities. She also makes continuous outdoor playspace improvements such as upgrading the shade structure in the backyard, child climbing gym, slide, etc.
Elly is our child's alternative attachment figure away from home, someone we truly trust like family.

Our son went here from the time he was 1 until almost 3 years old. I was nervous at first to find somewhere that we were comfortable with, but I’m so happy we found Ellie! She cared for our son like her own, and we are so grateful! Knowing that he was always safe and loved every day was so important to us. The facility is clean and fosters a playful and fun environment for the kids to socialize and learn. Ellie has become like family, I can’t recommend her and her daycare enough!

Symphony Family Child Care is a perfect 5-star daycare and a great place for your child. Ellie is an amazing owner we are extremely satisfied with her level of care for our infant. Ellie is fully engaged with the children and offers fun and constructive activities in a clean, colorful environment. She is also providing constant feedback, and often sends us wonderful pictures of our smiling daughter. Ellie truly does love the children, and we couldn't be happier.
