“Finding Nancy was literally a life saver. She’s gentle, reliable, loving and creates a warm environment for the children. We’ve grown close to the other families and consider Nancy part of our family. Let’s face it, no one wants to leave their baby to go back to work but that was the reality of our situation. We are thankful every day that we can trust and rely on Nancy. Our daughter is social, confident and ready for preschool. Can’t recommend Nancy enough!”

“We’ve brought both our kids to Hearts and Minds. Nancy provides a safe, nurturing, stimulating environment that encourages social play. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Nancy Felix was our daycare provider for both of our children. We initially had our son in another daycare in Santa Monica, and when he was not happy there, we did our homework to make the right switch and found Nancy. At Nancy’s, he was thriving within a few days... participating in circle time, happy at drop-off and pick-up, and sleeping well (he was 13 months). We took our second child there as well, even though we had a nanny full-time to help out at home at that point; We felt the social experience and loving environment was invaluable for her growth, as it had been for our son. Nancy just loves kids and has set up a stimulating environment for them, both indoor and outdoor, at her home. I always knew my kids were safe and truly cared-for there. She also helped us with our goals,whether with potty-training, scheduling sleep, or playing with other children well. She gave good feedback so that I understood what the kids were doing during the day and what their new accomplishments were (with games, tasks, social skills...). We can’t say enough positive things about Nancy’s — It is a wonderful daycare where children thrive!”

“I knew nothing about in-home daycare when I started looking for daycare services and I was so happy to find Nancy through Connections for Children. Not only was she right in my neighborhood but I loved her caring demeanor and attention she gave to the children. My older son started at 1 years old and my younger son started at 3 months! It was hard to leave them but I felt so comforted by Nancy and the environment there. Both my sons made life-long friends there too, if you can believe at ages 7 and 9 now, they are still best friends with kids they met at Nancy’s childcare.”

“At Hearts and Minds Daycare our son has found a second home. Because of the distance my husband and I get no physical help from our relatives, we found in Nancy and her staff a second family. Our son has been going to Nancy’s Childcare since he was 6 months and this is one of the greatest decisions we have every made for our children. He is growing up with a free spirit attitude in a wonderful environment. Sharing, friendship and love are the three first things that pop up in our mind when we think about Nancy’s Daycare. We will be always thankful to Nancy and it’s going to be very hard to say goodbye.”
