What Parents and 
Campers Say

Real experiences from parents and caregivers we serve!

Carolyn A Williams

As a mother of three, finding the right childcare services has always been my top priority. This includes finding a safe and nurturing environment and finding qualified, responsible, attentive, and reliable caregivers. I've seen all those characteristics and more at The Fundamental Daycare Center- owner Ms. Erica Martinez. My daughter started last year, 2023, when she was two years old, and Ms. Erica has made it an excellent experience. The daycare is well-maintained, clean, and stimulating. I remember walking into the daycare for the first time and meeting Ms. Erica. I looked at my husband, and we nodded in unison. My daughter was also there with us, and she said hello to Ms. Erica, walked past her, and made herself at home. To top it off, she did not want to leave. We found the daycare center for our little girl! Ms. Erica is very professional every day, no matter the time of day. I'm not a morning person; I take my daughter there early morning, and Ms. Erica's smile radiates and always puts a smile on my face. My daughter loves her! One of the things I love the most is the level of communication Ms. Erica exhibits. I'm a planner, and having three children on three different schedules can be a lot to manage. Ms. Erica ensures I have all the essential details, and I appreciate her helping me with that. I have struggled with leaving my kids at daycare, especially this child. However, Ms. Erica made it so easy and rewarding. Well, would I recommend this daycare to everyone? Absolutely!

Emmy's is Amazing!!! I you can tell she truly loves what she does . I’m a 1st time mom and was very skeptical abt leaving my baby in the care of someone I just met .. HOWEVER , when I tell you Emmy's is very kind and patient and warm with the children . My son doesn’t take to Anyone but from the first encounter all he could talk abt is Ms. Erica ! She has truly been a blessing for my family and I .. Her hours of operation is excellent for any working parent, she helped potty train my toddler, and the crafts my son comes home with is so creative . I couldn’t have asked for a better daycare provider.

RUN DON’T WALK….Emmy's is truly a god sent from Heaven. From the first time we spoke on the phone…I immediately felt at ease.As a first time mom I was searching for the perfect fit for my daughter…and I found it .My daughter started when she turned 2 yrs and went for about 1 year…and during that time she learned so much.Her time at Fundamental Daycare was short because my family and I made a hard decision to move out of state. Although my heart broke knowing that my daughter will no longer be attending Fundamental Daycare…the nurture, love and attention she was given made a huge difference and it shaped my daughter for the next step in life. I am a very picky person and trust me when I say you will not regret enrolling your children at fundamental daycare…the entire family and team is truly a blessing in disguise. We love Mrs Erica and team forever .
