We are so grateful to have found Ms. Mattie and for the love and care she has given our son, W. She was fully booked the first time we called and we were excited to enroll our son in Moonlight Daycare after some months. From the very beginning, she created a warm and welcoming space where he felt safe, happy, and excited to learn. We’ve seen such incredible growth in his social, emotional, communication, physical, and cognitive skills. It is clear that Ms. Mattie’s patience, kindness, and dedication have made all the difference. Ms. Mattie's daycare is not only safe and nurturing, but also filled with fun, learning, and laughter. Knowing our son was in her care each day gave us such peace of mind—we truly couldn’t have asked for a better start to his early years. We are sad that our son will no longer attend Moonlight Daycare as we relocate to another state but are very appreciative of the time our son spent with Ms. Mattie and the other kids. We will miss the chats we had with you each evening when we picked up our son. Thank you, Ms. Mattie, for being such a special part of his journey. Thank you.

I'm so grateful I found Moonlight Daycare. I had just moved to Rancho Penasquitos and I was searching for a high quality daycare. Moonlight Daycare is exactly that! The owner's name is Mattie, and she is such a dedicated caregiver. Mattie is so caring, warm, organized, experienced, thoughtful, and observant. I felt comfortable with her as soon as I met her! I know she is paying close attention to my daughter because she gives me very specific advice about her development. She taught my daughter how to hold her own milk bottle and how to properly chew food! She isn’t just "watching" my daughter, she helps her reach developmental milestones, she nurtures her emotional needs, and she maintains an environment for her to feel safe and have fun. She keeps a consistent schedule for the kids' activities such as breakfast, lunch, nap time, snack time, and outdoor time. Mattie's home is beautiful, clean, and safe. She has security cameras outside her home and a smart lock on the front door. She is down the street from the local police station and fire department. I knew Moonlight Daycare was the right fit for my family because there is no caregiver turnover, it's Mattie's business, and she is dedicated to providing excellent care for children. A lot of children stay at Moonlight Daycare until they go to preschool, and that speaks volumes to the quality of care Mattie provides.

Our 2 year old son went to Moonlight Daycare for a little over a year and we absolutely loved it. He really needed help with his social skills and confidence with kids his age and Ms Mattie was so helpful, patient, and kind with our boy. You can tell she loves her daycare kids and has so much expertise and knowledge to share with parents. We are so sad we are moving and having to leave Moonlight Daycare and Ms Mattie, but we are so grateful for the time our son had with her.

My son has been attending Moonlight Daycare for a year now and we could not have asked for a better nurturer and provider for him. Mattie has taken such good care of him, he would give her hugs and kisses before he went home with us for the night. Mattie has given us so many wonderful tips and suggestions on how to navigate the different stages of "toddlerism" I'm going to miss her advice! My son is ready to start in the school system, otherwise we would have loved to keep him there for another year. Thank you for all that you have helped us with, Mattie!

There are not enough words to explain how thankful I am we found Ms. Mattie and Moonlight Daycare. We toured several daycares and never had that “gut feeling” that it was the right fit, until we met Mattie. It was an instant good feeling, a mama’s intuition that she genuinely loves those kiddos. We’ve been with her for about a year now, and have had an amazing experience. Our little girl is so social, happy, and well cared for. She’s learning new manners and skills every week. Our pediatrician is very impressed with her development. Mattie’s home is clean, safe, and just a wonderful, loving place for your little one to spend their days. As full-time working parents, it’s such a relief to drop your child off and not have to worry about them during the day. We know she’s safe and happy. And we know Mattie has everything organized and under control. When grandparents pick up our daughter, they always comment on how awesome Mattie is, how lucky we are to have found her. Thank you Mattie for becoming part of our “village” in raising our little one. As first time parents, we continue to learn so much from you. With love, The Thomas Family
