I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My wife is a Montessori teacher and we were kind of obsessed/frustrated with finding a daycare that was genuinely a quality environment for our child's development. We did not have the best experiences finding one.
We almost did not visit Jennifer because we were tired of looking, but she was on the way home and thought we could just drop in. When we walked in we were a little surprised how well it was all set up. It seemed more like a little school than a daycare and THAT is what we wanted. We started talking to Jennifer and she was talking developmental milestones, healthy boundaries/behavior, structure, routines, etc. She was engaged and intentional about it. This was exactly what we were hoping for.
We got our child in there and we noticed an almost immediate improvement in his social and verbal skills. He was having positive interactions. The kids were very well behaved. Our child progressed a lot developmentally.
I’m happy enough about our experience that I want to take the time to write this review and I want all children to have the best developmental opportunities. Jennifer is one of those rare people that is on that mission. God bless her.
