Meet the Providers

It is easy for any person to describe themselves and tell you what you what to hear, however, the best way to learn about a child care provider is to allow the children and parents to tell you and others how they feel.  In  the photo above there is a jar that my families put together with their children called the "All The Reasons We Love Cindi and Heather" jar. All of the families and their children contributed decorative strips of paper with their thoughts and I am honored to share these with you. When you receive a gift like this, there is nothing better and I will treasure this jar for the rest of my life. Along side the jar is a book presented to us by daycare children titled ""How Do I Love You", it begins with How do I love you? Let me count the ways..... and ends with I love all that you will be and everything you are.

As we opened each individual strip of paper describing how our families felt about us I cannot even begin to share with you how heartwarming this was. When you visit our parade page you will see that we have won three trophies for our parade entries, but let me tell you right here and now, what you see on this page is the real trophy, the grand prize!!.
