Dali’s Daycare


Recommend By Jens List member sjrcohen@yahoo.com


“Fabulous Daycare for your child – “Dali’s Daycare” in Sherman Oaks (Near Dixie Canyon/Valley Vista). Dali’s Daycare is a wonderful, loving, safe, educational, environment for your child. Dali and her staff are great with the kids. Our daughter runs to hug Dali when she gets dropped off in the morning and does the rounds hugging Dali and her assistants when we pick her up in the evening. Our Daughter comes home singing songs, reciting the ABC’s and poems. Dali is a great chef and “hides” the veggies in her dishes so the kids eat healthy & don’t know they’re getting veggies. We highly recommend.”
