she is so amazing with the children , they love her
This is a wonderful daycare center! I was a bit hesitant taking my child out of a in-home setting and placing her in a daycare, but going to Journey Above was the best decision I could've made for my child. She loves going there and hates leaving. Ms. Jenny has tons of a patience and has such a great way with the kids. They do fun activities and there is lots of outdoor play! This is a great place.
This facility is FANTASTIC! Ms. Jenny has a true gift for teaching and a clear passion for working with children. She has helped us so much by working with us (the parents) to create a consistent routine to help our 2 year old son learn appropriate behavior and he is EXCELLING at verbal communcation, sharing, transitions etc. He is excited everyday when we pull in to the center and we are excited everyday to pick him up and hear about the new things he has learned that day. This facility is truly a model of what all daycare centers should strive to be. We are beyond satisfied.
