Parent Reviews
Our twin girls attended this daycare for the past year, and we couldn't be happier with their experience. Jen's daycare was the first time my girls received care outside of the home, so I had a lot of anxiety at first, but they have thrived during their time here. Both girls absolutely loved Jen, who has a wonderful way of connecting with the kids. Jen watches up to six children, which we loved because it allowed for personalized attention and a close-knit environment. Jen provides a daily routine that the kids really benefit from, including outdoor play every day in her large backyard. In addition to outdoor time, she sets up a variety of activities such as painting, dancing, and other open-ended play. Amazingly, Jen is somehow able to get our girls to nap every day, which is always a struggle for us when they are home. In just a year, we've noticed incredible growth in our girls' social and learning skills. Jen always goes above and beyond to engage them in fun and educational activities. As we focus more on teaching the girls Korean at home, it has been a pleasant surprise to see how much the girls have learned at Jen's. It was so cute when the girls started singing the "Clean up" song one day while we were putting things away at home, which they had never heard at home before. Jen has been absolutely great to work with last year and we are all going to miss her -- especially my girls, who have always been so excited to go to her daycare every morning and will often ask for "Ms. Jen". If you're looking for a nurturing and supportive place for your little ones, we highly recommend Jen's daycare.
My husband and I joke around on the weekends that we need Jen! Sending our daughter to Jen's daycare has been an absolute lifesaver, as our daughter had never even had a babysitter before. We were nervous to start daycare because our daughter wasn't used to anyone other than mom, dad, and grandma. Jen's daycare was recommended to us by a friend of ours in the neighborhood, and as soon as we went on a tour, we knew this was the right choice. I had done other tours and nothing felt right. Our daughter is very slow to warm up to others, but even on the initial tour, she started exploring and playing with toys in the Jen's space. Jen was so warm and gentle to our daughter which helped us all feel comfortable. At the time, there was only one day available but we were so happy with Jen, that we took the slot and now our daughter goes 4 days a week and barely even says goodbye at drop off! She has made such sweet friends there and just loves Jen so much. She comes home and talks all about her day. Sometimes before bed, she will randomly say "I love Jen." I don't know how Jen does it, but our daughter naps and eats like a champ at daycare, whereas at home, both are a struggle - hence why we joke about needing Jen on the weekends ;-) She also worked with us during potty training and made that transition really seamless. Jen is extremely attentive to the children and is also very responsive in communication. I've heard from friends that their daycare lacks communication, but Jen always gets right back to me and is very thoughtful in her responses via email if anything comes up. She has always been open to helping us through life transitions and understands how these things can affect children. She is incredibly accommodating, which is really important when it comes to childcare, and she really understands individual needs. Overall, sending our daughter to Jen's was the best decision! She now has friends to play with, gets to play outside in the backyard, does art, reading, hula hooping, bubbles, singing and more. Jen has such a gentle nature with the children and it feels like she was truly made for this. We have even talked to several families in the neighborhood with older kids that previously attended Jen's, and they said that it never gets better than her - that's how high the bar is! We are already dreading the day our daughter ages out of Jen's because we don't know if we will ever find someone like her. If you're lucky enough to get a slot, take it! We couldn't recommend her more!
We've had the pleasure of sending our child to Jen's daycare for the past two years, and it has been an amazing experience. Jen has true professionalism and dedication. One of the features we loved at Jen's daycare is the outdoor area. The kids have ample space to play, explore, water the plants, and enjoy fresh air. My son particularly loves watching bugs, and Jen has created a space that encourages this kind of natural curiosity. It's wonderful to see him so engaged and excited about the little things in nature, thanks to the thoughtful setup of the outdoor play area. It's clear that Jen prioritizes providing a safe and stimulating environment for outdoor activities. Jen's professionalism is exemplary. She handles every aspect of care with a high level of skill and attention, creating a reliable and secure environment for the children. Her patience and understanding are particularly noteworthy, as she handles each child's needs with a calm and supportive demeanor. The activities at Jen's daycare are another highlight. From crafting to painting, puzzles, blocks, books or songs, Jen introduces a variety of engaging projects that allow the children to express themselves and develop their fine motor skills. It's evident that she puts a lot of thought into making these activities both fun and educational. Jen's ability to manage nap times is also impressive. She has a knack for creating a soothing and comforting atmosphere, ensuring that the children rest well and wake up refreshed. Her approach to nap time is a testament to her attentiveness and care. Overall, Jen's daycare has been an incredible experience for our family. Her combination of a great outdoor space, high professionalism, patience, activities, and effective nap time management makes her daycare a standout choice. We wholeheartedly recommend Jen's daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing, enriching, and well-rounded environment for their child.
