I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I was very impressed with the curriculum and set schedule for the children I’m always updated on my daughters status academically and where she falls as far as levels for children her age I even get picture texts which I really look forward too! The schedule is the best I use it at home and my daughter is conditioned to taking naps on the weekend now! YES!! Lol! It’s to the point that she can’t wait for Monday to roll around and that bring a comfort level that is priceless.. Thank you Mrs. Hall!!

Mrs. Blackwell has been a great provider for my grandchildren and also a great help to our family she helps us out if we need help on the weekends. The kids can't wait til Monday morning.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

So I have been to several day daycares making sure the my precious child would be safe and well taken cared of, I am SO THANKFUL that I have found Ruby Blackwell’s daycare facility. When my child was 17 months old, I sent her their. I was a first time mom so at random times I would check In unannounced and ask my daughter to tell me everything that happened each day. Not once have I ever heard of miss Ruby laying a hand on a child of any age or even talking in a harsh manner. Tons of moms can back me up on this. I couldn’t be more pleased to hear that my child was having an amazing time learning to count, read, identify shapes and colors , play which children , etc. not only that but I got a smiling kid with MANNORS. It came as a boost because my kid excelled all throughout elementary school and now middle school. Before we moved , when my daughter was nine, she begged me to go back and see Mrs. ruby and read to the kids because she loved it there. Best part, Ruby insisted she get payed and add it to her future resume . Mrs Blackwell is truly a Bleesing sent from god.

Ruby Blackwell aka mrs pat, is one of the most genuinely loving person / care taker I have ever encountered. When my child was 18 months old I would always check in unannounced and ask my daughter everything she did their and everything was always positive.She has never hit or even talked harshy in anyway to ANYONES child regardless of the age and I have plenty of mom to back me up on this. While my kid was there She learned to read , count,identify shape, colors ect and play nicely with other children.This was a great boost for her when it came to elementary school. When she turned 9 years old she asked if she can go back and read for the other kids at the daycare during the summer and Ruby insisted on payed her. I can't recommend a better place for your child to be properly taken care of. I give a lot of thanks to miss pat in shaping my well mannered, honor roll student I have been blessed with today.

I have know her both personally and professionally, the Daycare does a phenomenal job of teaching more than school curriculum, she also provides the the children with teaching that today's typical Daycare do not. The children learn how treat others as they would like to be treated, they learn how to share and the gift of compassion. I have seen children grow under her care from infancy to elementary, and they register above their grade level. The environment is geared towards a child's vantage point... I truly enjoyed the time my children spent there.

This woman is very unprofessional not to ask to talk to and when you want something specific for your child she is not happy to accommodate. And very quick to tell you to go somewhere else. Not only that I ha e recorded her hitting my 8 month old child. Her home is very cluttered. And cheats you out of your money if you have care for kids. I have never experienced such terrible and unprofessional service don't be fooled!

We have used Patty Cake daycare for over a year as a referral from a friend. We have found Mrs. Hall to be professional and she has provided a high level of care to the children. She also works with them academically to be ready for school. We enjoyed our experience here!

I first started with this Daycare in 2004-2009 with my son. My daughter has been attending since 2013 as she is still there. It's a safe,clean, trustworthy atmosphere. She teaches the children on their level. I think it's awesome seeing what they are learning as she prepares them for kindergarten. Her attitude towards me and my child always remain the same. Patty-cake daycare is accommodating/supportive to families when need be. She offers nutritionist meals and snack. I can't leave out that she LOVES the children as they're here own. I found the fee to be reasonable. It really helps me as a single parent.

I give Patty-Cake Daycare #5
