To whom it may concern,

As new parents, we had to be convinced that the chosen care provider for Aiden would be someone who would be kind, communicative and trustworthy. Aiden was nine months old when we met Behjat and John and we were convinced Yaya’s would be a great environment for our son. We knew that when we left our son, he would be nurtured in a safe environment and will enjoy the time he spent at Yaya’s. After three years, it is hard to say good-bye and move Aiden into a new environment. Behjat and John do not simply sit and watch television, ignoring our son, but always interact and spend time with him. They have taken Aiden to the library on numerous occasions, have taken him to the pool, taken him to the playground and for walks in the neighborhood. Aiden is constantly coming home with art projects and telling us his activities for the day. We came to value how Behjat and John took the initiative to provide individualized care for Aiden. They have provided emergency clothing, diapers and wipes at times of need. We were never worried about Aiden being without something if we forgot to pack enough. Behjat and John were always excited and warm to greet Aiden when he arrived in the morning, which made the drop off process a happy and smooth transition. Behjat and John are very sweet and responsive to all of the children, which reassured us that AIden was in good hands. Most important to us was that Aiden was always safe and happy at Yaya’s. We want to take the opportunity to thank Behjat and John for always taking such wonderful care of our son for the past three years. Going back to work is always difficult after having a baby, but knowing your child is in good hands is always reassuring. We highly recommend Behjat and John to any parent who is looking for a caring and extremely competent daycare provider.

To whom it may concern,

John and Behjat took care of our daughter, Vivien Gladhill, from December 2008 until February 2012. I cannot say enough good things about this family. We were extremely blessed to find such a loving and caring family to take care of our first child. We interviewed many daycare providers when my daughter was an infant. When we found John and Behjat, we just knew they would work out. Having many friends with children, I have heard many horror stories about childcare. We never once had an issue with John or Behjat. They treated Vivien like she was their own child from the time she was three months old, until she left their care at the end of February 2012. Their house is clean      (which is something that was VERY important to us). They were very loving with her, which is something we were looking for with a young child. They took Vivien to the park, for walks, to the pool and to the library on countless occasions. In fact, we had originally thought about moving Vivien to a preschool environment in Spring of 2011, but held off for an extra year because we knew how much Vivien enjoyed the summer with their family. They worked with her on letters, colors, math… etc. They played a big part in preparing her for preschool, which we are very thankful for. With a heavy heart, we moved our daughter out of their daycare this past march (2012). We pushed off preschool for as long as we could because we loved and trusted John and Behjat so much. Vivien’s father and I are currently working on expanding our family, and when and if we are blessed with another child, we will call John and Behjat right away. There is no one else we would want to take care of our next child. If you are looking for childcare, I truly believe you will love this family. There are dependable, loving, clean and just very good people in general. Please feel free to call myself of my husband if you have any questions.

Dear Yaya and John -

I just wanted to thank you both so much for taking care of me for the past two years. I have loved coming to your house to see you and play with you. You have taught me so many things. I can count to ten, I know my ABC's, my colors and my animals. You have both been wonderful and I am going to miss you both so very much. Thank you again for being so wonderful. I love you both!!!

Dear Yaya and John,

We are so grateful to you both for the last four years and the amount of love and care you have shown Colby. I was never sad to leave him because I knew he was in the best hands with you. He loves you like family and was always so happy to leave each morning and come to your house. Seeing him so excited to leave each morning and how happy he was each time you opened the door is something as a parent we cannot thank you enough for.

Now, as we move on to the nest chapter and he starts school, we know he is ready because of all you have taught him. This will be an easy transition for him because you have given him the confidence to believe in himself.

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for Colby and our family. We cannot wait to add to our family so that our future children get to experience the same love that you have given Colby.

To Whom it may Concern,

My son attended Yaya's daycare from four months old, until he was two and a half. Prior to choosing Yaya, I researched and interviewed multiple in-home daycare options. My favorite moment from Yaya's  was the first time we went to their house to introduce our son to Yaya and John. My son was around two months old and was cranky and irritable. When we got to their house, John and Yaya were completely focused on my son and very excited to meet him. Yaya saw him being fussy and smiled and asked me if she could hold him. My son immediately stopped crying, as Yaya held him and gently rocked him with a big smile on her face. He then fell right asleep in her arms. As a parent and a first time mom , I know Yaya and John were the right fit for our family. I felt an immediate sense of calm and comfort in my gut at that moment.

Over the next two years, Yaya and John were wonderful caregivers and a second set of parents to my son. He loved going to their house everyday, and made great relationships with the other kids with a good range of ages. Yaya communicated well with my husband and myself and was always willing to support out wishes when it came to sleep and feeding routines, and other things of that nature. The house was always cleaned, organized and inviting for the kids.

My son also learned so much at Yaya's. By the time he left, he knew the ABC's, all of his colors, animals, animal sounds, number one through twenty and more. 


My child had fun, was genuinely loved and felt happy and safe under their care. This is what made our experience so positive. I highly recommend Yaya Family daycare.


My husband and i would be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding our experience at Yaya's daycare.
