Shima has had lots of experience with children, from infant to preschool age, and she is one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable childcare workers I have ever met. She spent many years working at my mother's daycare, Roxana Childcare, and I got to see every day how extraordinarily wonderful she was with children. She seems to understand-- both from her extensive experience as well as on an intuitive level -- children's diverse needs, and how to properly handle the hundreds of different possible scenarios that can come up when taking care of children. If you want quality, caring, and experienced childcare, you have picked the right place if you pick Little Paradise daycare.
Miss Shima has been involved in our children's care for the past 3+ years! We have only the best to say about Miss Shima and her loving nature. Our daughter actually never wanted to leave her arms! She's very kind, gentle, and responsive and has created a loving space in her home. She has ample years of childcare experience as many of our extended family have also been in Miss Shima's care! Leaving your child with someone is never easy and you can rest assured and feel confident that you are leaving your child in a safe and loving environment! Enjoy your time working with Miss Shima!
We love Shima!
Shima cared for my three small children and they adored her. Right away they all trusted her and felt safe, they ran right to her every morning and asked for big hugs before leaving in the afternoon. Their happiness with her was a great comfort to me going back to work. Shima has a way with small children and mine were lucky to have her!
Miss Shima is a wonderful child care provider and has been providing care to my two children since they were infants (over 4 years) She is extremely attentive, responsive, and nurturing. It's always difficult to leave our children in someone else's care but I rest assured seeing how much my children enjoy their time with Miss Shima.
Miss Shima is a wonderfully kind human being and children feel calm and nurtured in her presence. She has been a caregiver for my children at a different facility since my oldest started in 2015. I'm very excited that she is opening her own facility and have no doubt she will run an excellent program! She has many years of experience learning how to adapt to the needs of children from infancy to preschool age. Rest assured your children will feel secure and loved. They will thrive in Miss Shima's care!

Shima is a wonderful caregiver. She has watched my two boys and is very kind, caring and loves your child as if they were her own. If you’re looking for a place that feels like going to aunties or grandmas, this is the place for you. She cooks too!

With my kids, I've experienced 6 different (family/centers) daycares and Miss Shima is the most loving caregiver a child can have. She loves children like her own, and they love her back with all their tiny hearts. My son Barry has been going to Little Paradise Daycare since he's 8 mos and now he's almost 2, and we feel so lucky and grateful to have him under Ms Shima's care. Here are a few reasons among many: 1. Barry loves going to Ms Shima. He runs to her every morning and greets her with big smiles. He always returns home even happier and in a great mood (got the play, food, sleep, and attention he needed throughout the day). In weekends he asks to go to "Shama" as he calls her. One day when we were back from a 2 week vacation, we saw her husband in the daycare's driveway and Barry ran to him and gave him a hug (Barry only does this with me and his dad, not even with his grandma or aunts) 2. Under Ms Shima's care, Barry is developing very well socially, mentally, and physically. First, he gets well with other kids his age, younger, or older than him. He shares and plays nicely in classes we take him. Second, he communicates well and also sings songs that Ms Shima taught him. Third, he's demonstrating skills that we didn't work with him on at home - such as his love to drawing, counting numbers, singing alphabets, etc. 3. Ms Shima serves fresh, yummy, and notritious food that he loves. 4. She gives him the best possible care. She always changes his diaper on time (his skin is very sensitive, yet he never had a diaper rash under her care); she changes his clothes when they get wet/dirty; the environment is very safe - he never got hurt although he's energetic, curious, and active toddler. 5. My two friends started sending their toddlers to Little Paradise Daycare following my recommendation, and they were both very happy. One was super surprised that her kid had such a smooth transition and enjoyed their first day since they've always struggled with transitions and new people.
But as I said, kids love Ms Shima :-) I recommend Little Paradise Daycare to every parent looking for excellent care for their little ones!

So happy we found Little Paradise Daycare.
My son was instant comfortable with Shima.
She loves him like her own baby. And she will loves your lil one like her own as well.
My son is always happy walking in and walking out daily. He always walked out with full belly at the end of the day.
Most important we know and feel that our lil one is in a happy home and giving him the best care.
I don't have to pack him food which is so helpful to mommy on a weekday that I don't have to worry about his food for the week.
Definitely recommend this daycare.

We were lucky to have found Paradise daycare. My son went there for around 6-7 months right before starting Kindergarten during Covid times and I did not feel comfortable sending him to a bigger facility. Ms. Shima who runs the daycare was amazing. She provided a caring, nurturing environment for all the kids. It is clean with all facilities and homely where the kids get 100% attention. My son loved it and he learnt a lot. There was structured learning and activities geared for his age and he was well prepared before joining elementary school. Ms. Shima made sure his birthday was special and even had a graduation party for the kids going to kindergarten. It’s a gem and I would recommend it to everyone!

Miss Shima is amazing, with so much heart and caring mindset. It’s wonderful seeing our daughter gets excited about going here every day!
Miss Shima is also making fresh and nutritious food that kids absolutely love!
Sending our daughter to Miss Shima was one of our best decisions and we are so grateful for all the love and care that she gets there.

Shima is just so great!! My kid loved her and the whole place from his first day in the daycare! She cooks by herself delicious meals and has a lot of varied games! We really enjoyed our time there and highly recommend anyone who search for loving and safe place for their kids
