Firefly Academy and Dragonfly Family Daycare are wonderful places for young children! My child went to both locations and the owners, Dina and Tatiana, provided their best care to make sure my child felt comfortable throughout the day. They personalized and prioritized our child’s needs and were accommodating to our family throughout the whole experience. Homemade food, art activities, table work, and outside play made my child’s day fun yet focused on age-appropriate development. Both locations are great places that provide a safe and welcoming environment for children’s growth.

This is the best day care you can ever dream of for your child! Dina and the rest of the caregivers are fantastic. They are loving, careful and attentive to every child. At Firefly they cook healthy home made food, do not give any sugar or artificial snacks to kids, make sure the kids are clean, well fed and happy. There are tons of great activities - arts and crafts, music, math, reading, birthday celebrations, singing and free time. Firefly provides a holistic approach to care and development for children. This place is a family! I would never wish anything else for my daughter.

Discovering the hidden gem of Dina and Tanya's Russian-speaking family daycare has been a blessing for our family. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a warm, nurturing environment that feels just like home. The facility itself is beautifully maintained, offering a safe, clean, and inviting space for children to explore, learn, and grow. What truly sets this daycare apart, however, is the heart and soul poured into it by Dina and Tanya. Their dedication to fostering a loving and supportive atmosphere is evident in every detail, from the thoughtfully designed play areas to the engaging educational activities that honor and celebrate Russian culture and language. The food is another highlight, with Dina and Tanya going above and beyond to provide nutritious, homemade meals that are both delicious and comforting, ensuring the children are happy and well-fed. For any parent seeking a caring, enriching environment for their child that also embraces and promotes their heritage, Dina and Tanya's daycare is the perfect choice. It's not just a daycare; it's a home away from home where children thrive, learn, and are genuinely cared for.

Both of my kids attended Firefly. My daughter started at 1.5 years and my son at 10 months. From delicious home made food, to educational activities, and special birthday celebrations Dina and her team run a truly child focused facility. We always felt like our kids were well taken care of and well prepared to enter kindergarten. I highly recommend this daycare to anyone who is looking for hands on, child-focused, high quality care.

I can’t even describe how happy my husband and I are that our son goes to this daycare. The place feels like home. My son loved it from day one. Dina, the owner, and her staff are unbelievably caring and sweet. Every day, they have classes, and kids develop very well for all ages . Every day, Matthew shows improvement. Besides classes, they have different fun activities: singing, dancing, gymnastics and even shows. Also there are maths, development of logic. There are so many good things to tell about this daycare, but you got to come in and see it yourself, and only then, you’ll understand how great the place is. We truly love this place and highly recommended.
