A Caring Place Where Little Minds Grow

I’m Monika, the owner and caregiver at Little Flamingos Daycare. I hold a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and have over 9 years of experience working with young children in early learning environments. For seven years, I worked as an Assistant Director at a private preschool, where I gained valuable experience supporting children’s growth, building strong family relationships, and creating a safe and engaging learning environment. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid and continue to participate in professional development trainings to stay current with best practices in early childhood education.

At Little Flamingos Daycare, my goal is to provide a warm, loving, and nurturing home away from home where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to learn through play and exploration. I believe every child learns at their own pace and deserves individualized care, patience, and support to build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love for learning. I look forward to welcoming your family and creating a positive and caring experience for your child.

5/5 Stars — Exceptional Care and Heart We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ms. Monica! She has been an integral part of our family's life, caring for both of our sons over the last three years. Ms. Monica was my younger son's very first teacher when he started daycare at two years old. Sending a little one to daycare for the first time can be a big transition, but her calm attitude instantly put both children and us, as parents at ease. She is remarkably gentle, understanding, and patient. Whether holding them when they needed comfort, patiently listening to all of their stories, teaching them new skills, or simply showering them with love, she created an environment where our boys truly thrived. She also shared updates with us and showed remarkable concern when we approached her to watch out for them. Navigating early childhood development can be a journey, but her steady and compassionate guidance made every step seamless for our family. Now that our children are in elementarty school, we are so deeply grateful for the foundational role she played in their early years. Any child—and parent—is incredibly lucky to have Ms. Monica in their corner!

We are really happy with our experience. Ms. Monika is warm, patient, and genuinely caring toward the children. We especially appreciate how she gently encourages each child to participate when they are hesitant, without putting any pressure. It’s reassuring to see our child feel comfortable, happy, and excited to learn through play. Thank you for putting so much heart and patience into what you do. Your dedication and positive approach can make a lasting difference in a child’s early years. Keep inspiring, encouraging, and nurturing these little minds—you are doing meaningful work!

We feel incredibly grateful to have had Ms. Monika care for our son from the time he was just 15 months old until he transitioned to the preschool classroom. She has been such a warm, kind, and caring presence in his early years, and we always felt that he was safe, loved, and well cared for in her classroom. Ms. Monika is incredibly nurturing and patient. One of the sweetest memories we have is knowing that our son would sleep peacefully in her arms; he felt so comfortable and secure with her. That level of trust and comfort meant so much to us as parents. We were also always kept up to date on the kids' activities throughout the day, with pictures and updates about the fun games and activities they enjoyed in class. Seeing our little one happy and having fun was incredibly comforting. She also provides healthy, kid-friendly, and genuinely yummy food, which was another thing we really appreciated. It was wonderful knowing that he was not only being cared for emotionally but also being given nutritious meals that he enjoyed. Ms. Monika has been such an important part of our son's early childhood. We will always appreciate the love, warmth, patience, and care she gave him. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who will treat their child with genuine kindness and affection.

Miss Monica is warm, caring, and wonderful with toddlers. She helps them settle comfortably into the classroom while thoughtfully supporting important skills like holding, sitting longer, and following two-step instructions. Her patience and attention to each child’s development are truly appreciated. I highly recommend her for toddler development!

Little Flamingos Daycare is a wonderful, caring, and safe place for children. The environment is warm, clean, and welcoming. My child attended the Spring Camp at Little Flamingos Daycare and truly had a wonderful time. Ms. Monika is a very caring and well-experienced teacher who keeps children engaged with age-appropriate activities in a warm and nurturing environment. The art and craft sessions were very creative, attractive, and thoughtfully planned. My child enjoyed the activities and came home happy every day. I also really appreciated that Ms. Monika provided homemade food while taking care of nutrition, cleanliness, and hygiene. We truly loved the daycare experience and I would highly recommend Little Flamingos Daycare to any family looking for a trustworthy and nurturing daycare in the Sammamish area. It is a great place where children can learn, play, and grow with care.
