We have been taking our kids to Eva's since they were toddlers until they were ready for preschool. Eva has always kept her place and toys extra clean.
Since the pandemic, she's been thorough with taking the kids temperature and making sure the kids wash their hands; none of that harsh hand sanitizer that damages your child's sensitive skin. Likewise, she also takes extra precautions in her daily life to minimize her exposure. Keeping herself healthy makes her a reliable caregiver.
Eva is also very caring and patient with the kids; it's almost like having a third grandmother. Even though my oldest is in elementary and youngest is in preschool, the kids still ask to go to Eva's during school and summer breaks. Eva makes sure the kids do their workbooks or homework that we provide and provides them with plenty of arts and crafts to work on. And now that they're older, she's even offered to cook them lunch and provide snacks; one less task for me. In fact, my daughter raves about Eva's fried rice. She says Eva's fried rice is the best. After some pause, she adds mine is second best; smart girl. Hehe.
We still will be sending our kids to Eva's as long as she'll have us.

Eva is the best childcare provider I have ever encountered. She has a nurturing personality and awesome with the kids. She also take time to educate them. if you every had your kid in her care, you would agree with me. I highly recommend her.

Eva is so personable, super nice and caring. Eva is super clean and follows all required procedure and guidelines for her licensed daycare. I fell in love with her right away after our initial talk and tour. She treats my kids like family. I've started my daughter young as an infant at around 2 and a half months old. She was so patient when my daughter was refusing the bottle in the beginning! It has been almost a year since I started taking my daughter to her daycare. I trust her so much and couldn't imagine anyone else to care for my baby girl. She is like an extended family member to ours.

Eva takes wonderful care of our infant daughter. She is attentive, patient and caring, just like having your child watched over by grandparents. The home is clean and well baby proofed. If you want a small place to watch your child while you work with lots of personal attention, Eva's family daycare is a fantastic place.

We looked at many day care centers for our little boy. Eva came highly recommended by a family friend who had two of her children in her care. When we first met Eva we immediately fell in love with her. She really cares about the children and keeps their little minds busy with activities... I would recommend her child care services to anyone in the Hercules (or surrounding area) who would want their child to be cared for in a nurturing environment.

Very nice small family daycare. Our daughter, Natalie was in Eva's daycare since she was a little over 1 years old until she was over 3 years old and ready to move on to Pre-K level. We loved the way how Eva provided our daughter with utmost care so that she can have a safe and fun environment to grow and learn while we're working in the city for most of the day.

When I had to go back to work after maternity leave, I was looking for a GOOD day care or my 3 month old daughter. Me and my husband looked at a lot of daycares around Hercules and Pinole areas. Eva's house is clean and child safe. At first sight, I could tell that she is such a loving person. Not only she takes care of my daughter really well, but also she follows every single rule professionally.

Months before having our daughter, my husband and I searched for quality childcare in the Hercules, Pinole and surrounding areas. After visiting several places, we did not feel that any of them fit the criteria that we hoped for our brand new baby girl. None of them felt warm and personable. Until we luckily found Eva's Family day care. Eva's daycare is nestled in a nice quite neighborhood in Hercules which is located very accessible to I80, various modes of transportation, grocery stores & banks. All which come very much in handy when you need them before pickups & drop offs. We visited her home while we were still pregnant. The daycare gives you a very warm feeling. She has all the gear your infant needs including various learning material that your child can benefit from as they transition into their toddler stage. Eva is very adamant about following daycare regulations, immunizations & safety laws. She follows all the rules so you feel secure that your infant is in good hands.
Once our baby girl was born we visited Eva again so that she can hold her and become familiar with our daughter. She handled her with such ease and naturalness. We instantly knew she was the one we would entrust our baby girl with. After my maternity leave & my husband's bonding month, we took our daughter to Eva when she was 4 months old. Since then our daughter has learned so many new things. Eva has helped us with every transition; naps, feeding, bottle holding, crawling, standing, walking, talking etc. She put our daughter on a perfect schedule so much that even our family members where so impressed at how well our daughter adapted so early on to her schedule. It was like clock work.
Our daughter is now a little over 18 months. She is very independent, incredibly social, communicates very well and knows many words in Mandarin thanks to the incredible care & patience Eva has. Our daughter's face lights up every time she sees Eva which for a parent is very comforting to know that your most prized possession is in good hands. I also must mention that Eva is very organized and communicates with parents very well. With great detail, she logs your child's day. Here you can see your child's eating times, nap times, diaper changes, play time, learning time & special milestones that every parent loves to hear. In due time we plan on having another baby. Without hesitation, Eva will be our family day care of choice. She is the best!
