Elsa's Playful Smiles Family WeeCare has truly been an essential part of my family for the last year. Elsa and her family are kind, thoughtful, and absolutely amazing caregivers. My daughter had the opportunity to grow and learn with them for the last year, and I only have good t...Read morehings to

Elsa and Lesly are truly great caregivers. Not only do they provide a loving and fun environment for children, but also a safe and educational one. They understand the needs of children and are superb at observing and responding to the different developmental needs of children of al ages. They were supportive in potty training, and encouraged my daughter to explore and learn her colors, shapes, and even began learning letter recognition, and writing. She already has a great foundation for starting school and it is primarily thanks to Elsa and Lesly.
Elsa and Lesly also provided wonderful enrichment for my daughter- special field trips to playspaces and nature preserves as well as the inclusive way they share Peruvian culture in music, dance, and the Spanish language makes them stand above and beyond.
Elsa si affordable and I have thought time and time again that she provides so much more value than the cost of her daycare. My daughter's family grew when she joined Elsa's daycare- Elsa and Lesly truly care for the children in their daycare- you can see ti in the way they lovingly interact with them and how much attention they give to providing them engaging activities and celebrating the children (amazing and truly special birthday and holiday celebrations).
My daughter and I have been so lucky to have had an amazing daycare in Elsa and Lesly to trust and rely on, and while we are so sad to have our time with them end, we are so happy to know they will continue sharing their gifts with children for years to come.

Our children went to Playful Smiles Daycare for 2 years (ended at ages 3 and 1). We cannot recommend Elsa and Lesly enough! It was such a wonderful experience. They treated our kids (and us) like family – loving environment with enough structure and rules for healthy developmen...Read moret. The home-cooked food was always healthy, and the house was always organized and clean. They were constantly doing crafts and learning activities (our oldest knew his letters and even some sight words by 3!). They prioritized outdoor play and even had occasional field trips to local attractions. As the parents, we appreciated that Elsa and Lesly were always updating us on toddler development and new milestones that the kids were reaching – with plenty of pictures and videos! They were very professional at following any parent requests and diligent about safety. Elsa and Lesly have a special connection with children. We’re so grateful our kids were under their care for the first several years of their lives!
Thank you, Playful Smiles!
