What Parents Say
Just Like Home Childcare Inc. receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, with parents praising the caring staff, owner Kelly's involvement, and individualized attention to children's needs. The facility is noted for supporting children with special needs and helping shy or delayed children thrive academically and socially. One parent noted the structured environment may not suit high-energy children who need less rigid routines.
Our daughter started here at just 2 months old and the staff all cared for her like family and worked with us through all changes/challenges. We would recommend Just Like Home to anyone looking for a great place for their precious little ones to grow, learn and be cared for sincerely.
My child had been in daycare since he was 10 months old. He is now three. We had him in a particular daycare for two years before changing to Just Like Home. We wanted to make a change for lower children to teacher ratio, more consistency with teachers, and better communication between teachers/managers and myself. While we got all of these qualities we were looking for, unfortunately this place is not for a child that has high energy or does not thrive in high structured environments. I will preface that he never had any behavioral concerns from his previous daycare of two years. My son is a free spirit, high energy, and head strong (like most boys but yes slightly more energetic than your average toddler). Because he did not fit into the mold of this classroom, we only lasted a couple of months at this daycare. We felt as if this daycare had pegged my son as "troubled" from the first week he was there because he did not fit into the preferred structure of what this classroom was used to nor were they giving him much of a chance to adjust to this new environment. I do think this is a good daycare and has very great qualities. I do not want another family that has a more rambunctious, challenging, or high energy child to feel as we felt when we were at daycare there.
This place is just magical. Kelly the owner is simply wonderful. Not only is she is present each day at the school, she runs a great business and simply hires the best staff. This daycare has that small town feel such as when you walk in, every staff member knows your child's name and greets your kiddo/you. It was worth it for us to drive across town. We have said that having our son go here was an answered prayer. The teachers were patient, worked with our son and his special needs (speech delays/receptive delays). And they were so kind/helpful to his speech and OT therapists when they came once a week to work with him. He showed up not speaking much, not really engaging much with other kids to talking more, having friends and following classroom directions. This place set him up for Kindergarten. It is pretty undescribable to see how much our son blossomed here and we can't thank Just Like Home East enough. The best part is he that he truly loved it there and still asks to this day to go back. We will forever be grateful for the entire staff.
Just Like Home is true to its name. The staff at the center treat the children with love and respect. All of the teachers have impressive expertise, patience, and put a lot of care into what they do. When I say everyone is amazing, I mean it! They think of big ways to celebrate the children (from holding center-wide celebrations, holiday events, and pre-K graduations) as well as small ways to make you and your child feel cared for (washing baby bottles, cleaning bed sheets). My kids have gone to not great daycares, mediocre daycare, and great daycares. So believe me when I say that Just Like Home is exceptional.
Our experience at JLH-W is nothing short of absolutely wonderful! From the very first day at JLH, JJ (my 4 year old son at the time) was happy, excited to go to "school" and engaged with the staff. We were at JLH-W for 18 months and as he matured and transitioned into the Pre-K classroom he began to be more confident and out going- something that he had always stuggled with. He also began to honestly love everyone at JLH-W. It wasnt uncommon for him to parade around to all the teachers at the end of the day and give hugs and love. Prior to coming to JLH-W we had some problems with JJ at drop off and social timidness, however the staff at JLH-W worked really well with us in overcoming his issues and were understanding and sensitive to his special needs. If we are still in this area when our other son is ready for a childcare facility I will not hesitate taking him to JLH-W. I am so happy that my son had such a wonderful experience in the beginning of his school career!!! THANK YOU JLH, The Lenans Love you!!!!!
