Parent Reviews
Our time with Miss Glynda was amazing and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Our daughter was with her for 1.5 years, and within that time, Glynda became family to us. She helped our daughter develop her confidence, provided stability and routine, and kept her safe and well cared for. Glynda has set an incredibly high standard for our family, and we know we will never find another provider as caring and wonderful as her. We are so grateful for her!
I would describe finding Glynda sheer luck. From day 1 I knew my daughter was in safe hands with her. With Glynda being a retired NICU nurse but also being a wonderful person. My daughter loves going to daycare every single day and with Glynda's help I've seen her grow from a shy little girl into an open hearted toddler. If me and my wife would ever decide on a second child, I would without a doubt reach out to Glynda again.
We have been with Glynda for 1.5 years, and choosing her was the best decision we ever made for our child. Leaving your little one with someone else is never easy, but from day one, we felt a sense of peace and trust. Over the last two years, we’ve watched our child grow from an infant into a confident, curious toddler, thanks to the nurturing environment here. Glynda doesn't just 'watch' the kids; she truly loves them. My daughter always entered and left her home with a smile and comfort.
We used Glynda’s services for over 7 months, and for a while everything was working and things were a great fit. Unfortunately, a few times, politics were able to be involved, our child was fed solids without our consent. This was while we were introducing foods and testing for allergies, we were made aware after the fact…that Glynda was feeding her foods and not informing us of what/when, how much she ate, or if she enjoyed it. Her home is off limits to you as a parent, which means you aren’t able to see or experience the environment that your child interacts in, and there aren’t pictures or videos shared throughout any days of care. Our services were terminated by Glynda, when we were notified at 4pm on a weekday, that our daughter had been throwing up and vomiting for 6 hours, without our knowledge. It was only when the first phone call was made to myself and my wife, (which we missed because we were working) and by the time we returned the calls, no more than 10-15 minutes later, we were met with screaming, temper, accusations, and no empathy. She terminated our services over the phone, and when we picked up our daughter, there was no fever or diagnosable illness. For that reason, our emergency contact wasn’t notified, but our services were still terminated. It’s only after I threatened legal action, that Glynda surrendered the refund for services not rendered, but this caused an unfathomable amount of issues for us…as our search was now beginning for child care all over again…
Glynda is absolutely wonderful, we feel so lucky to be part of her daycare. I'm confident every day that my daughter will be well cared for thanks to Glynda's experience as a NICU nurse and her obvious passion for children. She is so well organized and has helped us develop a great schedule and routine at home as well as shared invaluable advice on parenting. I know she has my daughter's absolute best interest in mind and truly cares for her. We will be so sad when it's time to move on, but so grateful to have been part of her program!
We LOVE Glynda!! Her experience as a NICU Nurse and daycare owner for many years combines well with her deep care for the kiddos. Not only do I feel safe dropping off my son every day, I feel confident he will be well taken care of and loved on individually. Glynda also has been such a resource to me as a first time mom, and is honest about my son’s needs which I so appreciate. Her high integrity, refreshing transparency, and deep affection are only a few of the many reasons we adore her. Being part of Miss Glynda’s daycare is such a gift and I can’t recommend her enough!!
We loved Miss Glynda! Our boys both went to her from the time they were 3 months old and we loved it. Being an in-home care it was the perfect transition for us as new parents and helped us be comfortable with sending our kids to daycare. The boys always were smiling when we picked up, and never fussed when being dropped off. She always had age/developmentally appropriate activities for the kids and helped us get on a schedule. She's willing to work with you and provide her years of experience as a NICU nurse and time with kids when google seems to be overwhelming. I don't know what I would have done without her, sad we had to leave!!
