What Parents Say About

Apolo Daycare and Peschool

I have known and worked with Maribel for the past five years. She is an amazing teacher and she understands the needs of the children. I warmly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare

Araseli Johansson

We are incredibly fortunate to have had Mari teach and care for all three of our boys over the years. From when they were infants to when they were grade-schoolers, and they had always been excited to see her. She makes learning fun for them, and shows them tremendous warmth and compassion. We would trust our boys' well-being, learning, and care with Mari in a heartbeat!

Emiliano Martinez

Mary has been caring for our thee boys. She is warm, thoughtful, and incredible trustworthy caregiver. She thinks about each child and their development needs to make sure to engage them in ways that support their growth and overall wellbeing. she taught our children to learn and speak Spanish inn a fun and supportive way

David Zwerin

Apolo DayCare has been one of the best choices we made for our child. The owner, Mari is very caring, compassionate and great with kids. The curriculum is interesting and our child looks forward to going everyday. Meals are organic and home cooked and the children are taught to be more independent and while helping them build confidence. The play areas indoor and outdoor have a variety of toys and other activities that keep the kids entertained and also build different motor skills. Mari provides updates and feedback, is open to ideas and suggestions and it has been a fantastic experience for us and our child with Apolo DayCare.

Where do I begin, discovering Apolo Daycare has been honestly one of the greatest things to happen for my son Eli and I. From the moment I met Mary at the open house I knew Eli was going to be in the best care and flourish. Mary's home has been so beautifully and thoughtfully converted in to a pre-school/park. My son Eli is so happy every morning I drop him off and just as happy when I return. I have total peace of mind while I'm at work full time. Every week is themed, planned and shared with me. I know what to expect and love how much my son is learning constantly, not to mention she makes all the meals with organic ingredients! Childcare is so very important and that's why I chose Apolo Daycare.

I had a baby just before the first pandemic shut down and finding childcare was really challenging at the time. We were so fortunate to have found Mary during these hard times.. My son has been coming to Apolo Daycare for about a year. Let me just say, he LOVES it here! Mary's home is converted into a huge preschool/park area. There are so many different exciting things for the children to discover and play with. She loves to cook organic foods, and always sends us weekly itineraries letting you know what the children will be learning or eating next. I am always amazed every time I come pick him up. My son can now understand 3 languages: English, Spanish, and at home we speak Vietnamese! He is always so happy and cheerful! If you need help finding childcare, look no further and come check out Apolo Daycare! You can trust that your child will be well taken care of here.

Holly Robin

I highly recommend Apolo Daycare and there aren't enough words to describe how amazing they are with my daughter. Since day one she has loved the daycare and the love shown for the kids in so many different ways. There's a new theme every week and the amount of work that is put into the themes is mind blowing. My favorite so far was going to space. My daughter loved every moment of it and the videos we got of their "spaceship" were priceless. My daughter couldn't be in a better place. 10 stars would be more appropriate.
