Choosing a place to watch and care for your children is difficult. Little Mittens made it easy! I would recommend them to anyone. You can tell all the employees truly care about all the children.
I cannot speak to this daycare itself but I happened to have the pleasure of meeting one of their staff members today. While waiting in line at the grocery store with my almost 4 year old daughter, who by this time was hungry cranky and wanted nothing to do with being at the store, a woman named Lea was standing behind me with a young son of her own. In the ten minutes that it took me to gather all my things and pay for our groceries she kept my fussy 3 year old preoccupied by answering all her silly questions. She spoke so kind and sweet to my child that I felt the need to share my appreciation for women like her and the patience she had. She was so genuine and caring. It makes single working mom's breath with ease knowing women like her are helping our little ones grow. Thank you for sharing your gift with these precious little children, they are lucky to have such a caring role model.
