We absolutely loved our time at A Place for Children. All of the staff there were extremely kind. From the start I felt very comfortable leaving my daughter with the teachers there. You can tell that they all love working with children. I plan to keep in touch with A Place for Children because now they feel like a part of our family.
I don’t normally write reviews, but this place is truly special and I could not recommend A Place For Children more. As a first time Mom to twins I was incredibly nervous about sending them somewhere without me. Gail and team quickly put those fears aside for me. They love your kids as if they are their own. We have been at A Place For Children since our toddlers were babies and I’m already dreading having to leave when our kids get to grade school. We moved homes during this process and still drive 25 minutes one way just because we love it that much. Gail and team cater to the needs and wants of parents, while also putting our children and their needs first. Gail sent me almost hourly updates for the first 6 months because she knew I needed that. You can tell Gail has had so much experience with knowing that we as parents are putting our trust in someone else for the people and things we love most in the world, our kids. She doesn’t take it lightly and she truly loves every child while also still making each child and parent feel special and important. Our kids smile every time they arrive and sometimes even shed a tear when leaving. Our kids even wake up some mornings and ask for “Miss Gail” “Nancy” “Dana” “Jack”. They come home with the cutest and sweetest crafts and I especially love them during the holiday time. As a working Mom, my biggest concern was finding somewhere that felt like “home”. We toured many places (too many to admit) and the moment I met the staff, I knew we found it here. I almost cried the first time I spoke to Gail because she just “got it”. She knew my fears and reassured me she would love our kids and man, was she ever right. Sometimes now I even find myself comparing myself to her and how easy she makes it look 😂. If you want your kids to be loved, protected, cared for and nurtured so they can go on to become positive, happy, and kind children- please don’t look any further. This is the place for you. Our children have blossomed since starting A Place For Children. We are incredibly blessed to have found it. I will never be able to express enough gratitude for all they have done for my family. We will never forget this place even after we “graduate out”.
A Place for Children is THE BEST place to take your little ones for amazing care. We wish we had known about them for our first two children. Our 3rd child spent his first 3 years with the amazing staff and was cared for so perfectly. They often sent picture updates which helped us see the fun he was having and we never had any worries when our baby was with Ms. Gail and her staff. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!
The best kept secret of childcare in the area. Ms. Gail has been the best, and has offered such a welcoming environment. I wish my kids could stay with her forever. A Place for Children has an "in-home" feel, but large enough to grow with your baby. She genuinely cares for my girls, and I trust her.
Our daughter attended from three months to three years, and the staff were all amazing and loving for each stage of her time, there! She always looked forward to seeing all of her friends and would constantly talk about her teachers at home. We could not have asked for a better daycare as first-time parents to entrust with our daughter's growth and happiness - so sad we are moving on!
