I am pleased to write this letter on behalf of Ms. Jennifer- my daughter’s teacher. I have spent countless hours in a classroom setting with various teachers in my life time. One thing is very clear about teachers like Jennifer she is dedicated, hardworking, honest,respectful,energetic. These types of people are very special and very hard to come by. These are the types of people that leave everything on the field, give 150% of their time and effort to the people that matter. Before entering my daughter in to the school I personally had a very difficult decision to make for my daughters education. After touring the facility I could say that it was a good fit. One of the ultimate decision makers that carried weight with Toni and I was Jennifer. The first 1 minute 30 seconds into the conversation I knew that she was the perfect teacher. The skills and tactfulness that she uses to teach the children is unheard of. My child had only spent less than a week at the center and is already speaking Spanish. If this is not impressive I’m not sure what would be. Personally I think each and every person in this world could count on one hand the teachers that really touched their lives. I know of three. If there is some kind of recommendation or some type of award or any kind of incentive that you could give her teacher would be amazing, she deserves it. I have yet to witness her frown after a long day at work; you can tell that is hard work. Not once have I seen her give up. Not once have I heard her say "I am unable to reach your child". Looking at your establishment all of the teachers do a great job, I think they are all amazing and warriors. Warriors in a special way doing battle against the forces of nature to reach the children. Jennifer sticks out in her own special way. It’s hard to explain unless you have personally experienced her kind words and brilliant intellect for yourself. In closing I would like to say, Jennifer is an excellent teacher you should be honored to have such a great person working for your establishment. People like her do not exist anymore, most are just looking for a paycheck. A tool is useless by itself, it’s just a tool. But put the tool in the right hands it can accomplish many of things. Thanks for changing my daughter;s life and mine.

Our son has participated in a number of Learning Adventures courses, including Music, Cooking, Phonics and Math. He has thoroughly enjoyed each different adventure. He started his adventures with Music when he turned two years old and loved getting to sing, dance, and play musical instruments in the small group setting. He has become quite the little performer and will sing, dance, or play his drums for anyone who will watch and listen any chance he gets. He also enjoyed all of the special treats he got to help make in Cooking and constantly asks to help measure and mix ingredients when we cook at home. He currently participates in Phonics and Math and loves the one on one time he gets to spend with Miss Megan learning all of the letters of the alphabet in Phonics and learning different ways to sort things in Math. At the end of the day, he is always so proud to share what he has learned in class. The Learning Adventures program has been a wonderful experience for our son. He seems to thrive in the small class setting and is always excited to learn new things.

We have been a part of the KinderCare world since May of 2003. Initially, we were apprehensive about our child care options, so we took much thought and time in making the decision. Many factors went into our selection; convenience was one but not a top priority. Upon visiting Downtown KinderCare, we discovered that the staff was warm, friendly, and very empathetic to this crazy, overprotective, felt guilt ridden, and emotional new mom. You were patient with the hovering and forgetful new dad as well. Now, here we are 10 years later. You have cared, loved, and nurtured two of the most precious people in our lives. As a result, we are eternally grateful. Although I am still a crazy, overprotective, guilt ridden and emotional mom while Jon still is forgetful, you have made me less crazy, guilt ridden and less emotional. I have let out some of the string on my kite, but I have a hard time believing I will ever be able to let go of my parental instincts completely. In these 10 years, a lot of teachers have come and gone, but the quality of teachers and the sizes of their hearts have remained the same. We have a special place in our hearts for many of the teachers and always will. They have helped ensure that my boys feel cared for and loved. It is going to be bittersweet when we say goodbye at the end of the summer. We will not missing the check each week, but it has been worth every penny! Wish us luck on our children's' new adventure! We will keep you all in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers as you all journey onto new adventures as well. Also, a special thank you to Ms. Britney, Ms. Q, Ms. Meghan, Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Tia, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Jenn and so many others! There are too many to list. We truly appreciate everything!
