Seven years of being a part of this family, and there is no description that I can give that would come close to how wonderful the experience with Close to Home is. The name is exactly what you and your child will experience. The love, compassion, support, and dedication of the owners and staff surpass all of my expectations. My family has grown to love them all.
my son attended this day care until he started school. I cannot say enough how loving, caring, and compassionate the owners and staff are at Close to Home. Their constant professionalism kept my wife and I from having to worry about our child while we were working. But the thing that impressed me the most is how much my son loved it. In 5 years he never did not want to go to day care. The owner ,Mrs. Rory, is an amazing woman with a loving but firm disposition. My son learned so much there that it carried over to his regular school. I truly believe that the straight A's he is making now, is a direct result of the time and care that the staff at close to home spent with him. Thank God, and Mrs. Rory, for Close To Home.
The best daycare in Lafayette without a doubt! The staff does a great job communicating with the parents about their children and you never feel like a number. Also, the facilities are constantly improving.
