“We are so grateful to have our twins with Vania at Pocket Tots Childcare. I drive by a big daycare with
lots of kids and I feel so grateful our boys are with her, that they get the consistent care and attention she provides. We know our boys are getting the individual attention they need and come home happy every day. Their language has developed since going to Pocket Tots and they are always surprising us with their imagination during playtime. We love that they spend time out every day in nature exploring Vania’s garden and visiting her chickens. Our minds are at ease knowing our boys are in excellent hands.”

"Vania’s natural ability of guiding and caring for children is something that can’t be taught. It is a part of her. The way she encourages children to explore their curiosities and learn through play is the reason I chose her to care for my children. Her love of the children in her care shines through and they, in turn, love their time spent with her!"

"Vania is an exceptional Early Childhood Educator who goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and enriching environment for children. While she ensures all regulations are meticulously followed, it’s her natural ability to connect with kids that truly sets her apart. Vania’s curiosity and genuine interest in children shine through as she asks thoughtful questions, encourages exploration, and integrates fun and play into every interaction.
My child absolutely loves spending time with Vania—not just for the beautiful garden and the excitement of visiting her chickens, but because of the authentic bond she creates. Her approach is always age-appropriate, and her ability to inspire learning through play is remarkable. It’s clear that Vania’s daycare is more than a safe space; it’s a place where children feel understood, valued, and excited to learn."
