I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My son has been going to Judy's daycare for almost 7 years now! That should say a lot right there! Judy is not just a daycare, she is an excellent teacher for her children. If it weren't for her, my son would have been so far behind. She teaches children from a very young age the things they need to know for kindergarten plus more! She makes learning fun for the children. They are always doing a fun craft and she teaches them many responsibilities. I am so thankful for Judy and all she has taught my son and is still teaching him.
