Josephine has been a massive blessing in my daughter and Is lives. I am a single mother who was looking for full-time care for my 11 month old baby girl about 3 1/2 years ago. I am so grateful that Marin Daycare was the place I chose for my little girl. The comfort of Josephines home, the safety that surrounded her every day for the next three years, and the impeccable care that my daughter received from Josephine and her helpers was more than I couldve dreamed of. When my daughter moved onto preschool, it was incredibly hard to say goodbye. As a result, we decided not to because the connection Kenzlee made to Josephine and her children was unbreakable. Although my daughter is now at a preschool, shes still a frequent visitor at Marin Daycare. I will be forever grateful for the three years that my daughter got to spend with Josephine and her family. I cannot recommend Marin Daycare enough.

There are simply no words to fully express how perfect and professional this daycare is. From day one, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. My son started attending when he was just a baby, and now, at five years old, he still looks forward to spending his summers and school breaks there. It has truly become a second home for him.
The owner is more than wonderful—she is kind, friendly, deeply qualified, and genuinely embodies the meaning of the word “mom.” Her nurturing spirit and dedication create a warm, loving environment where children feel safe, happy, and cared for.
If you are looking for a place where your child will be loved, supported, and treated like family, this is it. Your kids will absolutely love it here, just like mine has for the past five years.

When I had my visit to California I was having a struggle finding a good daycare to leave my child at, but I Marin daycare that helped a lot.
They are the best. They have a very good attention to every detail for the kid. Their environment is always clean, welcoming and full of love. The staff are genuinely kind and loving. I had the best visit to California because I knew my kid was in a good hands and place ❤️

I know my kids are safe, happy, and loved at Marin Daycare. I have been taking them there for 3 years now. All caregivers are calm, compassionate, and attentive. They provide a variety of activities both indoors and outdoors. They welcome diversity, they are empathetic and flexible. They are open to suggestions or concerns and will provide you with guidance or feedback if you wish. I know I don’t have to worry about my kids when I drop them off in the morning.
