I am writing this to recommend South Milwaukee KinderCare Learning Center, which I have known for three years, as a candidate for your family's child care needs. In this time with KinderCare, I have watched my son grow exponentially and have been very pleased with his progress. My son is my firstborn and has been in child care since he was 12 weeks old... he is now three years old. I cannot say enough about the child care providers at KinderCare and the role they have played in molding my little boy into the smart, funny, and handsome little man he's grown to be today. At first, I was very reluctant to entrust strangers with my child--I admit it was very stressful and difficult for me to deal with. I feel I have been blessed with a healthy son and I am very protective over him. In the beginning, the separation anxiety was mutual and it was tough to overcome those feelings. Now I can sincerely say that I feel as if they watch over his well-being the same way that I would. My son is treated as if he were family. The caregivers at KinderCare have grown a great bond with my son and he truly enjoys his time with the staff. The instructors have learned how to handle his little personality and I am grateful for that. I could not have done it without the help of KinderCare. I truly couldn't be happier and as a full-time working parent, the fact that I never worry about them with my child is worth its weight in gold! I have no doubt KinderCare will be a valuable asset as your child care provider and I give my highest recommendation.

I wanted to give my personal recommendation for other families to enroll their children into the Phonics program at KinderCare. I cannot say enough about this program. I enrolled my daughter into the Phonics program in September of 2011 when she was three years old. Today she is still in the program and just turned four in December. She absolutely loves this program. On the days she has Phonics class, she comes home telling me about what she has learned and what they are working on. I cannot say enough about Ms. Judy and how well she does teaching my daughter all the concepts of phonics. Ms. Judy really gets excited to see how my daughter is growing each and every day in the world of reading. Ms. Judy ensures that my daughter is always growing and learning. If she sees that she knows a concept they were going to discuss for the day, she moves on to the next one. She doesn't see a point in holding my daughter back when she is willing to learn so much more.
