I would recommend Jodi to anyone for child care. Jodi is not only a wonderful person, she is a wonderful daycare provider as well. She is so kind and patient with the children. She does a great job preparing the children for Kindergarten. She has a reputation for being one of the best, if not the best for child care/preschool in the area. I am so happy I was able to get my child into her!! Thanks Jodi for all you do!!

Jodi has been my 4yr old granddaughter's day care provider for yrs. I have been to Jodi's day care and found it to be clean, organized,and structured.  My granddaughter absolutely adores Jodi( aka:Yodi) :) and looks forward to going. Not only does Jodi provide a extremely loving caring environment for the children she cares for, she also does educational activities with the children daily as well as teach and encourage proper manners. I would definitely recommend Jodi's Daycare.  On a personal level I can say I have always found Jodi and her husband to be completely pleasant polite! I feel completely blessed that they are a part of my granddaughter's life.

As for the negative comment all I can say is a "good christian" wouldn't have posted such a nasty comment with such ill intentions. Perhaps this person could have benefited if he would have had some one like Jodi in his life during his impressionable years!

Jodi was my daycare provider. I never wanted to leave. She is never rude. She fed us great food. I always wanted to stay longer. I still today ask my mom, "Can we find a time when I can go hang with Jodi and the kids?"

Jodi took care of my son since he was 6 weeks old I have known her for 7 years. She is a great day care provider and has become a very good friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for daycare. I have told other friends about her and will continue to give her referrals.

I don't know who the person is who wrote the bad comment above regarding Jodi's or her husband's character but I can without a doubt say that it is absolutely not true.  Jodi and her husband are both very exceptional human beings. They are loving and caring to not only their children but also to their own children, but to anyone they come into contact with.  The would stop short of nothing in helping anyone, friend or foe, stanger or neighbor with anything that is needed.  These are two extraordinary human beings.  In regards to Jodi's daycare, I have heard nothing but raving reviews from parents whose children have attended the daycare.  She is very nurturing to the children and involves them in many fun as well as educational activities.  She is the next best thing to the child's own parent and anyone would be very fortunate to have the opportunity to have Jodi in their child's life.  (to the person "jimmy john" who commented above, you sound like a very bitter person who needs to use spell check and who has very poor grammer. Please do not post such lies about these good people.  Thank you)

I have known Jodi since high school, and yes we have went our owne ways in life but I know for a fact she is a lover of all children,animals, people... ect there is no way she would cuss at a child. She is honest. if your child was acting out of control maby you should step back and look at how she ( your daughter) was raised. We were raised if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all. There for to the good so called christian..........nothing said.

Jodi is amazing with her day care kids. She has little parties for them when it is their birthday and she gives them presents on Christmas. Her own kids love helping out with them. She has pictures of them all sitting on the stairs with signs that say happy birthday to a kid and home made turkey and santa hats. Her sons play t-ball and baseball and she is always there cheering them on and telling them how good they did. And everyone who knows Jodi loves her.

Jodi is a great daycare provider and preschool teacher as well as friend. The whole town of Bennington loves her and trusts her completely. My daughter as well as my friends children have gone to her for years and are so greatful for her! She is very structured and thanks to her my 3 year old daughter is smarter than some 5 year olds I know! My daughter loves her to death and thinks of her as family.. Our whole family does! Wouldn't trust anyone else more with my children!!!

Jodi is fulfilling her life purpose by providing daycare. She is extremely patient, kind, and a wonderful teacher to the children. I would reccomend Jodi to anyone who is seeking childcare, as she is a trusted and respected member of her community.

good neighbor May 30, 2012

We've known Jodi and her family for going on 14 years now and she has always had an excellent reputation with children and her daycare! As for the person that is making bad comments about her and her family, he is doing this same thing to others in our small community and it is totally uncalled for and frankly pretty psychotic behavior. The stuff he is saying Jodi is doing, is what many have seen him do to his own family.  He like to swear at the neighbor kids and his own kids. Feel sorry for the rest of the family living with that maniac.

I have known Jodi my whole life, she has watched my little sister and I had the pleasure of being her next door neighbor for some time! I have nothing negative to say about her! She is an amazing person and a amazing babysitter! That other guys allegations are the complete opposite of who she is, how her family is and how professional she is when it comes to the parents and children that attend her daycare! She treats her "daycare" children as if they were her own and she would never treat them negatively in anyway! Jodi has an amazing reputation in Bennington! I would take my own children there! As for her children they are very well rounded and are involved in many activities including boy scouts! So I guess what I am trying to say is Jodi is an excellent child care provider and is a great person!

I don't know who wrote these comments about Jodi but I do know her and she babysat for my childern while she was in high school. My children loved her then and love her now! I can not believe that she would ever put a child in harms way or every do anything that would make a child feel bad. I don't know what context these things happened in but I do know small town living is a special gift and people spend time togther and socialize. If being a good Christian means defaming someones good name that doesn't say much for that person, be sure to look in the mirror before pointing fingers! I have dealt with neighbors like this and understand the feeling Jodi. God bless you for taking care of children and giving them a safe enviroment to grow in as their parents work!!

Jodi is wonderful!!  I was lucky to have her as a caregiver for my daughter.  I would highly recommend this daycare.  The love my daughter was shown and the valuable lessons Jodi taught her have carried on.  My daughter is grown now but Jodi keeps in touch with us and asks how my daughter is doing on a regular basis.  I never once worried while my daughter was with Jodi, she is wonderful with children of all ages.

A great daycare and teacher, she watched my kids years ago and now they are in high school doing very well.  My children were both reading before they even got to kindergarten from the time and knowledge that she helped spend to get them ready for school.  We never have had a problem with Jodi, and if I had another child, I would make sure I could have her as my childrens daycare provider.

Halford-Stier May 30, 2012

Having the pleasure of being a Bennington, NE resident for the past 32 years. Jodi's In-Home Daycare comes highly recommended. Jodi helped established a great educational foundation for my children before entering the school system. Jodi's In-Home daycare has a waiting list a mile long, and every one of her parents can confirm that this is a very highly coveted daycare facility in the area. Jodi helped build the foundation for the only other non-private care facility in-town, and that business thrives to this day.

I will continually recommend Jodi's in-home daycare for the high quality care and child development that she provides. As working mother, my partnership with Jodi was extremely important. I would not hesitate to refer Jodi's in-home to other families in the community looking for excellent child-care.

I have known Jodi for years, she worked at Koala-T-Daycare when I went there as a child. She is a GREAT person. One of the nicest people you could ever meet. She is ABSOLUTELY GREAT with children. Recently. she had a psycho neighbor move in and start causing problems and stating false things (ex. comment by Jimmy John). Jodi and her family are GREAT people and run a fantastic in home daycare. Everyone who takes their children to her KNOW how great her services are, and thats why they keep coming back. You can't help who your neighbors are. Psycho neighbors or not, Jodi does NOT let that affect her daycare services! We all love you Jodi!

This "Jimmy John" is a liar. I know both Jodi and this neighbor, and he is a lunatic. He has called the police on her twice, yes, but for performing legal activities such as trimming a tree (for which they hired a reputable service to do). I have never heard her curse around any children, and her husband is a good person; he treats his children wonderfully and they are growing up to be good people, but the way that he treats his own children is completely erroneous on this site as he has little to nothing to do with actually taking care of the daycare children. I have nothing but good things to say about Jodi and the way that she takes care of children, and I wouldn't have anybody but her take care of my own children.
