Parent Reviews
I cannot recommend this daycare highly enough. My daughter has been attending for nearly three years, and my son joins on a drop-in basis; they both love it so much that they never want to leave when I pick them up! Ms. Debbie has an incredibly calm, loving approach that makes every child feel seen and valued. It is rare to find someone who provides such a consistent, high level of care without any favoritism. What makes this daycare truly unique is the involvement of her husband and son—the children absolutely adore having them around, and it creates a wonderful, safe, and nurturing family atmosphere. I am so deeply grateful to have found such a trustworthy and loving environment for my children.
Our kids came from another daycare that had not been a great environment for them. We had Miss Debbie and Mr Rick recommended to us by our school counselor and it couldn’t have been a better fit. They care for the kids like they are family and understand the tightrope that working parents walk to get good care and be able to get to work. They are kind, they teach their kids how to be good people to each other, and are wonderfully accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about this daycare!
Having our children with Debbie was amazing. Kids at all different ages were playing and bonding. Debbie truly cares about them all and kept great communication to better their experience. My kids ask about her every time we pass her road!
Ms. Debbie and Mr. Rick have become part of our family. Our daughter has been going to their in home daycare since she was in Kindergarten. We are sad we won’t be seeing them daily as our child has transitioned to middle school. They treat our daughter with love and care and I couldn’t have asked for someone better.
Debbie is the best you will find in daycare providers. She has been in business for over 20 years and has said she cares for them like they are her own kids, which I’ve seen day in and day out. My daughter comes home with crafts and new books to start learning to read. She lives right next to the elementary school and drops the kids off and picks them up every day and has a strong relationship with the school. They know her by name. If there is an emergency, she will be at that school quicker than any parent ever could. Not only that but she has an amazing set of toys for all ages and a perfect backyard with playground and outdoor toys. She helps potty train the kids, take care of them, and teach them before they get into elementary school. My daughter came home knowing math! And I’ve never taught her any math before! So it’s pretty cool. You get personalized care from someone who cares about your kids as her own, and convenience with the school. It’s the best setup ever.
Ms. Debbie and Mr. Rick are more than babysitters, they become family if you are lucky enough to enroll your child here. They give exceptional care and love to the kids in their home. Lots of toys, patience, guidance, and space for outside play. Plus, they’re right behind Mullenix Elementary for walking the older kids to school. We absolutely love them and I feel relieved knowing my child is in their care when I can’t be with them.
My son has been going to daycare here for quite sometime now. Before he was having some behavioral problems at home, had severe separation anxiety and didnt have a lot of socialization with children. After just a week here his attitude changed drastically and he even started counting, telling me shapes, and started saying please. He is so well taken care of and I rave about Debbie to all my friends. We feel so lucky to have found this daycare my son even gets excited in the morning to go to daycare. Debbie also has worked tirelessly regarding my payment as my paydays are kind of weirdly placed during the month. We couldn’t have asked for a better daycare, no anxiety or worries about his well being during the day! We ❤️ Kids will be kids!
