My husband and I had been searching desperately for childcare, wherein we could entrust our then 11 month old son, and happened to come across Paradise Kids via Yelp. We got to tour and speak with the owner, Ms. Marjan, and quickly came to peace of mind when we saw the set up and the kids + Ms. Marjan and Ms. Niharika, her associate, interacting with each other in the backyard during playtime.
Safety (and trust) was of course our number one priority, but beyond that, Ms. Marjan sealed the deal with the wealth of information she shared on how she runs her in-home daycare. We left the meeting/tour feeling like there were no unanswered questions, and confident that our son would be in the best care between Ms. Marjan and Ms. Niharika. Throughout our time together, Ms. Marjan was flexible, understanding and attentive to details/a great listener. Accommodations were made to adhere to Luca’s specific dietary needs, and we knew from Luca’s afternoon bowel movements that he was chowing down his daycare provided meals (mostly organic and all homemade!).
Though our time was short, we’re so lucky to have found this gem - organized and structured, but also with lots of room and encouragement for creativity, which allowed our son to grow and thrive! Paradise Kids is truly a paradise, and we feel everything was done in the best interest of our little boy. He has made new friends, flourished in his milestones - walking and talking, and created priceless memories here. We thank Ms. Marjan, Ms. Niharika, and the whole Paradise Kids family for helping shape the special little person that he is today, and for truly making us feel like an extension of...
Read moreMy son has been attending since he was 2 years old and is now 4. He's truly happy when he gets to school as he really enjoys his time here. He's taught a wide range of topics and will be well prepared for kindergarten next year. Marjan makes learning fun for the children. For example, she used a live caterpillar kit to teach them about the different stages butterflies go through.
Marjan's at-home facility provides a clean and organized indoor environment along with a well-maintained backyard for outdoor activities. Marjan herself is patient, honest, and sincerely caring. I recall when my son fell ill during school and needed to be picked up. When I arrived and looked through the window, he wasn't sitting and waiting there by himself. Marjan was actually holding and comforting my son on her lap while waiting for me to arrive.
As parents, we know how challenging it can be to trust your children with someone else. Our family is very grateful to have Marjan. She provides the peace of mind that your child will be well cared for and have a fun time learning...
Read moreWhen we began our search for a daycare in Irvine for our 2.5-year-old son, we hoped to find a place that felt safe, caring, and welcoming. Paradise Kids has been all that and more! Before starting, our son had never been away from me so we worried about how he would adjust. The first few weeks were emotional, but Marjan and her team went above and beyond to comfort him and help him feel safe. They kept us updated every step of the way, which meant so much during that transition.
He’s been there for six months now and we can hardly believe the progress he’s made. He’s learned so many new things, made sweet friendships, and gained so much confidence. He’s genuinely excited to go each day, and as parents, that’s the best reassurance we could ask for.
We also love that they provide fresh, healthy meals daily. He’s gone from being a picky eater to happily trying new foods.
We’re so thankful for the love, patience, and dedication of the team at Paradise Kids. If you’re looking for a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy daycare in Irvine, we can’t recommend...
