My son aged 7 started going to Aarthi since May this year and we have been extremely happy with the service she provides. Aarthi and her family have been an integral part of my son’s life since then. Along with her caring nature, she engages the kids in various different activities. My son adores her so much and looks forward to go to her every week. She also helps the kids with the academic stuff according to their stage of learning. His writing skills and handwriting improved so much while learning with her. Aarthi has been very much accommodating with our requests to suit our needs and we couldn’t thank her enough for being so understanding. We were able to fully trust her to look after our son while me and my husband were working full time.
Thank you for all your support to our son and us Aarthi.

Thank you so much for your review. So glad that you liked my service. My pleasure to have him in my setting, such a well behaved and friendly child. Will be missing him. Best wishes.
We are so glad we found Aarthi when looking for childcare for our son (age3). Aarthi is caring, friendly and has made sure our son was happy and settled every time we dropped him off. She provides a large variety of activities and she has a lovely outside space too for children to use. She cooks everyday fresh hot food and very flexible in giving options to both parents and kids to choose what they like to eat, my son is a fussy eater and she always made sure that he had his portion of food and she puts extra effort of feeding him whenever he is not able to eat on his own. We recently started sending our son full time and can see the activities and efforts she made to engage our little one to improve his social with other kids.she will update us every day on the activities she does and will advise us with various options which she can offer and also recommends us with ideas we can do at home with our son who is delayed with speech. We are really looking forward to see our son enjoying at her place and we are very sure that he will amaze us with his learning skills under her guidance in the coming months!!
I very much recommend Aarthi to anyone looking for childcare.

Thanks a lot for taking time to write a review. Glad that you are happy with my service. He is such a talented child, love to have him in my setting.
My daughter started with Aarthi March of this year. She settled really quickly into her setting, putting myself and my husband at ease. Aarthi’s home created a warm and comfortable environment for my daughter. Since being under Aarthi’s care she has flourished at school, growing in confidence through her reading, spelling and handwriting. I would highly recommend her services.

Thank you so much for your review, my pleasure to tutor her.
She is such a cute & obedient child.
We have been sending our 2-year-old daughter for the last 3 months and having spent most of her time in India it was very worrying for us on how will she adjust herself when left alone and to the cultural differences but Aarthi took great care of her by engaging her in different activities and made her feel at home.
We can clearly see the difference in my daughter's learnings and her communication skills. She also posts updates on a timely basis which gives us more confidence about our daughter's wellbeing.
Will definitely recommend Aarthi!
