Our children from their earliest years must take part in all the more lawful forms of play, for if they are not surrounded with such an atmosphere they can never grow up to be well conducted and virtuous citizens. Our licensed family home childcare provides a safe, warm, and educational "home away from home" for your child.
Our belief is that children need space to use their gross motor skills all day long. Age appropriate activities designed for children to use their creative energy and imagination. Our goal at Melody Child Care is to nurture every child based on their specific needs by building close relationships with their providers and their peers.

We signed my son up after many, many glowing recommendations from our friends and neighbors. I now join Melody's fan club. It's an at-home daycare, small, loving, fully organic. They can do half-days too. Many of the kids there are UCI profs' babies.
Every morning, my son runs through the door to join his little friends and sometimes he doesn't quite want to leave! I know he is very loved there. They have great activities and my son speaks plenty of English (not a language spoken at home) and loves numbers. The caregivers are Persian and they all speak very good English

My child has been going here for the past three months, and we are very happy with the service and kindness shown by the owner and her staff.
I feel very reassured leaving my child as they are attentive to her needs, have a very child-friendly environment and are concerned about safety. I especially appreciate such precautions as an alarm system on the door that alerts staff when a parent has arrived and a gated entry.
The owner makes delicious meals that my child likes to eat. She also does fun crafts with the kids.

My three year old son and I love this daycare very much! I could relax that he was well cared for while there because he was given love, nutritious food, stimulating and creative play, and would often even surprise me with the new things he had learned. I especially liked the home like setting and caretaker child ratio that is not possible to find in larger daycare settings. My son has bonded with friends and his caretakers there and we sadly had to move his care when we moved to HB. I would not hesitate to send my kiddos there again.

Our twins were with Nazy and her wonderful staff for close to 7 months, which was their first experience in daycare as 2 year olds. They loved it there--most afternoons it was impossible to convince them to come home! The staff is extremely caring and nurturing and the daycare provides a really nice balance of a structured day with lots of playtime and choices of activities for the kids. My twins loved the healthy food, including Nazy's famous rice and lentils. Nazy is very responsive to parents and worked with us on potty training, which was a huge help. I can't recommend Nazy and her

Nazy and staff are some of the best in the area. We have had both kids go through her care. After moving to Irvine from the East Coast, we were nervous about where to send our (at the time) son. We couldn't have been more blessed with the love and care she gives - along with the rest of her staff. Our daughter started before 3 months old with Melody Child Care and we have only good things to say. From bottle feeding to eating fish for lunch, crawling to walking, we are so thankful from day one.

Our son exclusively stayed at home until he was about to turn one this summer... and we found ourselves in need of daycare for several weeks. Nazy and her team at Melody Child Care were wonderful with our son's needs and he absolutely loved all of the children and activities. There are so many learning resources... but most importantly a pleasant and shaded place for the children to play and explore!
The team is very attentive and responsive - if we have a chance to send our son to daycare again, we will call Melody Child Care!

Nazy is a wonderful and loving woman who I instantly felt very comfortable trusting. Both of my kids love her. Prior to Nazy's daycare I had always enrolled my kids in more institutional "business" daycares, but Nazy's place is safe and secure with a voice alarm that alerts whenever the front door is opened and a secure gate/wall around the outdoor area. It is on a quiet residential street. Nazy feeds the kids healthy food and gets my son to eat all types of things he is more picky about at home. The place is clean, no shoes inside, kids wash hands when they first arrive and

My daughter has been learning and growing at Nazy's/Melody Child Care for about 9 months now. I have three kids, and have done every type of childcare arrangement (institution, preschool, cooperative, babysitter, live-in nanny, etc.) Of all of them, Nazy's is by far and away the best for infants and toddlers. I concur with the praise of the other reviewers re cleanliness, homey feel, excellent healthy meals, etc.
At Melody Child Care, your kid will be loved! When my daughter arrives, she is met with smiles, laughter, and a hug. Nazy's assistants, Martha and Alba, are both wonderful

Nazy, the owner of Melody Child Care in Irvine, CA is a nurturing soul who never stops loving the children in her care as if they are her own. I feel very happy and safe trusting Nazy with my baby Michael. Nazy goes out of her way to pay special attention to the children and keep parents updated on their child's progress. She has over 17-years experienced in child care, child development and industry standards in general, and this gives me peace of mind. Melody's location has also been very convenient for me. The 10-minute drive for me from my job is well worth it for the quality

I totally trust Melody Childcare with the care of my toddler. This is an at home day care / home based daycare. There is story time, signing time and art time, lots of well behaved friends and toys for the kiddies to stay busy with.Food served is excellent , lots of whole grains,chicken, fish, fruit and veggies. Best part is that they are very flexible with the hours, so parents can bring in and take home children without the stress of the clock ticking, a huge relief for parents with toddlers. Behaviour issues are dealt with promptly in a loving, reassuring manner. They help potty train and with

My two-year-old has been going to Nazy's for almost 3 months now. We started there because she came highly recommended by my best friend whose child attended. After a long search it came down to a very large center vs. a home day care setting at Nazy's. Words cannot express how happy I am with my decision. The bottom line is that my daughter is more than happy to go to Nazy's every day and now that she's comfortable there she doesn't want to leave at the end of the day when I pick her up. And ALL of the kids are happy whenever I am there.
Nazy is very personable, knowledgeable

Nazy and Martha have been taking care of our daughter since she was a year old and we couldn't be more pleased with the love and care they give when she is there. We tried institutional daycare centers before sending her to Nazy's but were not satisfied with the emotional care they extended towards the children. However, the minute we walked into Nazy's home, the loving environment and the happy kids sealed the deal for us. Unlike other daycare centers Nazy adjusts to our daughter's schedule. She also cooks organic vegetarian meals for our daughter which she loves. Nazy and
