As a military family, constant changes and daily challenges are part of our life. When it comes to our children, we try to make these changes and transitions as smooth as possible.
Halo’s Childcare has been a significant part of our family during our recent move/transition from Germany to Fort Drum, NY. Our son is 4 ½ years old and has been attending Halo’s for quite some time now. We are amazed by the quality of care of this center.
Mrs. Kristie Whiteley (Owner) and her staff are outstanding! Mrs. Krizia, Ms. Anne, Ms. Penny are all very professional, knowledgeable and skilled in early childhood education. They are understanding, nurturing and patient with our son and all the children in their care. Our relationship has been very special since day one!
They’re facility appearance is impeccable. The staff attitude is excellent. Their hours of operation are very convenient and perfect for dual working families. Their lesson plans are super fun. They provide that one-on one attention and care that we all want for our children. Our son always come home happy, with new knowledge and original precious art projects. Our son has plenty of creative stimulation and socialization with kids of all ages.Their environment is so comfortable, relax and natural contrary to Army childcare that is more restricting and stressful. They take nature walks regularly. Their surrounding areas and playground is so cool and appropriate for all ages. Their meals and snacks are healthy and yummy! Even for picky eaters like our son! They are accredited, licensed and regularly inspected to meet all NAFCC regulations which are very important. Their fees are appropriate for the quality of care that we are receiving. Let’s be realistic. Do not expect to have this amazing unique quality of service for cheap! The prices are just right! And if you are a military family, they provide assistance and guidance in how to apply and receive child care subsidy for military families.
Being this said, we recommend Halo’s Daycare 300%. We are very grateful to Mrs. Kristie and her staff for her service and dedication to all their children. They take care of the most precious and irreplaceable human being in our lives!! What else can we say? Halo’s Daycare… We trust you, we love you and we appreciate you! We look forward to have you as part of our family for a very long time! Thank you! The Alamo Family
