I have used this provider for more than 6 months

In these uncertain times, where people are struggling with daycare because facilities are closed because of COVID-19, and parents are out of work, this provider still charges if people want to keep their spots. Most daycares have suspended pay, but not this one. How this woman can still demand payment is unconscionable.

At the time 1/2 payment was requested if possible for 1 week. Do to uncertain times. No one new how/ or what to do with immediate closures . I tried to work with all . If you were with me longer then 6 months you new you could come directly to me and talk . I am a very flexible and work with all situations . I did not require payments after all was straightened out and was able to reopen and welcome my families back as soon as State/EEC allowed us to . Deborah Doray

We searched many daycares and Deb stood out to us. She is welcoming, her home is clean, safe, and perfectly set up for the daycare. A big relief comes with leaving your child in trustworthy hands and my child loves going there.
My child has autism and Deb has been more than caring and accommodating to his food preferences, routines, habits, and in-house therapists. Could not ask for more.

My daughter who is now 5 was a member of Debbie's Daycare aka Monkey Doodle for 4 years. IN that time Debbie became part of our family. She is a simply wonderful woman and childcare provider. She cares for each and every child as if they are her own and sets each parent's mind and heart at ease while their children are in her care. She has a special gift and a huge heart. The projects and special things she does with the kids are so incredibly creative and cherished by all of us. The children in Debbie's care have all become part of our extended family and when my daughter has a day off from school for a holiday or snow day she is welcome at Debbie's when we need her. My daughter often does something fun and asks that I call or text a photo to Deb so that she can see and asks when she will be able to see her again. She has left an indelible mark on our daughter and our family and we love her so very much and are so grateful to have found her .

This has got to be the best childcare around! I was a stay at home mom for a little over a year, and was so worried to leave my boy in anyone else’s care. My first day back at work I was anxious as ever, but I was given constant updates and even pictures of my happy boy! Not only she did provide the best care a working single mother could ask for, she provided a home away from home. On top of that, he started pre-k advanced because of all the work she does to prepare them to be big kids. She cares for each child like they’re her own. My boy finally went of to kindergarten, but he is constantly asking to go to Miss Debbie’s! I am always recommending her to every person looking for childcare!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

After an exhaustive search I found what I thought was a good and convenient daycare for our one year old. My daughter who had been home all summer with both of her parents who are teachers and who was teething at the time attended the day care approx. four times, with the frequency of two days a week. During the fourth day, we received a text that my daughter (who had only been there for an hour and a half that day) would not stop crying. When I called, the provider informed me that my daughter had eaten her whole breakfast during that time and that my daughter needed to be picked up. My mother in law picked up my daughter and was given a sealed envelope to give to my husband and me. When I got home, there was a “Dear John” letter on my kitchen island. There had been no conversation with my husband and myself, just a termination. Given a two week notice, we declined to send our daughter back again, and just scrambled for child care. Avoid this child care at all costs. The red flag should have been when she complained to us about another child in attendance. Find something else. It’s not worth it.
