Meet Lareli
Hi, my name is Lareli Tapia.
I am a mom to three amazing children, and as such, I understand that kids are the most valuable treasure we as parents possess. This is the reason why I have created a space where they can be safe, secure and happy — a place where they can develop emotionally and physically, and most of all a place where they can feel joy.
I love to cook, do crafts, and be active with the children. I also enjoy being around nature. My family daycare home was established in 2020 and has welcomed Hollister families ever since.

Home-cooked meals
I love to cook. Children share warm, wholesome meals and snacks at the table together, just like family.

What parents say
“My son started going to Lareli's daycare at the age of 1 before he could even walk, until he started TK this fall. It was very hard for me to trust someone, and let me just say I couldn't have been more blessed on finding Lareli. Not only was my son in a safe, nurturing, and clean environment, but Lareli had daily lessons and activities with the kids. She sends pics at the end of the day so you can see your child in action. I 100% recommend her.”
“Lareli became family to us! She prioritizes the children's safety and communication with parents. My child had so many enriching experiences and even knew how to spell his name and his friend's name before he started TK. I cried like a baby on my child's final day with Lareli. We love Lareli!”
“Both of my girls went to this daycare and they loved it. Lareli treats the kids like her own! She does so many great and fun activities and art for them to bring home, and goes above and beyond for Christmas and their birthdays. She keeps the parents well informed. She's the best and we all miss her.”
“We enrolled our daughter when she was 2. It was her first time away from us but Lareli made us feel so safe. Her home is so welcoming, warm, fun, and clean! Our daughter thrived and learned so much. We highly recommend her if you are looking for a safe and loving home away from home.”
“Lareli has been taking care of my 2 girls for over 2 years, since my little one was 6 weeks old. My daughters love her and I trust her with my kids 100%. She is kind, so patient, and keeps her place immaculately clean. If you're lucky to find a spot here you'll not be disappointed!”
