Parent Reviews
I attended Suzie's daycare for 10 years and still, as an adult, would say some of my fondest memories were at Suzie's. I felt like I was part of Suzie's family rather than being a child at daycare. There was never a disconnect between home, school, and daycare because Suzie always communicated so well with all the adults in my life. Suzie taught me how to be a good person and my time at her daycare shaped the person I am today. I can recall Suzie encouraging me through all the stages of childhood and cheering for me when I accomplished anything. I even remember writing about how being a daycare provider was my dream job in fourth grade because I loved being at Suzie's house so much.
Suzie's daycare provides the best and most loving environment my wife and I could have asked for. Every day for the last 3+ years our child has been welcomed with open arms and a big smile and leaves with the same. Suzie provides fun craft activities (especially for the holidays), time to learn and explore, games, bikes, scooters, slides, balls, and toys. We enjoy receiving photos and videos of the kid's activities, explanations of the day's successes and challenges, and conversations about what is planned for the coming weeks/months. From the moment my wife and I walked into the daycare we knew it was the right place. The families that have trusted Suzie with their children are rewarded with a loving atmosphere and kids that look forward to their time there each day. Thank you Suzie and keep up the awesome work.
A caring, nuturing home daycare that I highly recommend. Suzie cared for my two children since infants until they aged out to pre-school and TK. Her art projects, fun activities and playtime provided a great foundation enabling them to excel in formal school. Suzie kept my kids stimulated, learning and happy, so much that they loved going each morning, a home away from home and an extension of our family!
My three kids have been going to Suzie’s for the past 16 years and I have recommended her to many others! She is amazing and great with kids of all ages from infants to teens. My kids still continue to go to Suzies daycare even though they are old enough to be home on their own. She has become part of my family not just a daycare provider. I could not have survived working a full time job without the help of Suzie and having someone I could trust my kids with.
Suzie is in-home daycare is the perfect fit for our family. She has watched over our child since three or four months old until now about 3 1/2 years old. We have been so happy and so comfortable with Suzie‘s care. She’s like a second family to our daughter now. Every day our daughter is greeted with excitement and then sits down to a morning activity, then the day is filled with playtime and books and lots of little hands on activities for the kid’s development. Suzie handles discipline well when needed but also makes a place feel like a second home to the kids. I love the cozy environment at Suzie‘s house and the homey feeling that she provides as opposed to the larger facilities that can feel a bit like a sterile classroom even though the kids are so young. I feel fully comfortable with Suzie in charge of our daughter and especially appreciate that she provides us all the details of the day at the end of each day. She also provides information about any holidays or days off very far in advance, so that we have plenty of time to plan. I wish I had another kid to send to Suzie‘s house!
