Diki Shining Star Childcare Center

My twins have been going here for 6+ months and absolutely love theirs teachers. Prior to Diki, twins went to another center-based center in Arlington but the kids didn’t connect with their teachers and always cried during pick up and drop off. Now they look forward to daycare. Staff at Diki are very caring and compassionate. They are very good at communicating with us parents about anything involving our twins. We are grateful for the entire team for their love and care of our twins. They teach kids about kindness and mindfulness first thing in the morning with meditation and yoga. Leaving for work after morning drop offs feel safe and secure because we know the twins are in great hands at Diki’s.

My 6 month old has been enrolled at Diki for two months now and we are absolutely loving it! The staff (Ms Nexi and Ms Maria in the “butterfly” baby room) could not be more caring and conscious of our daughter’s needs. Childcare is a HARD job and I appreciate how genuinely they love and enjoy each baby and their unique personality. We receive updates on her eating, sleeping and activities throughout the day which is a huge reassurance as new parents. We also appreciate their openness to part time daycare which is what we needed as I work part time. We are looking forward to keeping her at Diki until she can start preschool!

We have been sending our daughter to Diki for six months now and my wife and I could not be happier. The team there has put us at ease since day one, this is our first and only daughter so going into daycare was a nervous time. Chhimi, Ms. Nexi, Ms. Maria and Ms. Bianca quickly calmed our nerves through their care and attention. They constantly update us through the app, which is always welcomed to see our girl having a blast with the team there (many times I am jealous I am not having fun with them). We have personally recommended Diki to friends that are expecting their first child and as I hear stories from other friends or families I often feel lucky to have found Diki. I can only share positive stories about Diki and the team, they have our daughter and every other child's best interest at heart. When we looked for a place, we wanted a place that would care for our child and I am very proud to say Diki is this place. We have been invited to several fun moments with other families, recently we enjoyed Jim Jam, and it was great to see other mom's and dad's with their children mingling with the teachers. If you are questioning Diki, don't, you will be happy you joined their family.

My daughter has been going to Diki for 6 months and we have been so happy with the experience! She loves going each day and clearly has benefitted so much from the environment there— the teachers are all extremely caring and thoughtful- we get updates all day about what activities they are doing- it’s so nice to see how happy the kids are and to see them doing things that are supportive for their development! It was extremely evident right away that our daughter was learning and benefitting from the environment - her skills and milestones rapidly improved after starting, and it’s clear she has learned from the teachers and other kids. The teachers have also been so helpful and flexible with us - there were a few occasions when we knew we would need to do late pickup and they were very accommodating. As she has progressed through different stages (eg: adapting to solid food, switching to sippy cups, dropping naps), they have been partners with us in navigating these changes. We truly could not be happier with our experience and recommend Diki to all our friends who are looking for a daycare center in Cambridge :)

My granddaughter goes to the daycare and I am amazed to see how much she is being learning in short period of time. She sits in yoga. pose and chants "OM" . When ever there is a mess of course created by her she would grab a napkin and starts cleaning. It is a safe and friendly space for children and I appreciate every staff member who greets us with a smile.
