I have used this provider for more than 6 months
My son is now 4 and entering pre-K, and has gone to Linda’s Kids since he was 9 months old. He will continue to be at Linda’s for after school childcare, and I am enrolling my 4 month old baby next month when I go back to work. Linda’s is absolutely OUTSTANDING. I pulled my son at one year bc the center based daycare we were on the waiting list for opened up. We ended up returning to Linda’s after just 6 weeks bc her care for my son was above and beyond, as if he was her own. I have relied on Linda’s Kids Daycare for years, and I never have to worry when I drop off my kids. I know they’re being taken care of just as well as I would do myself. At first I was he distant about group family daycare instead of center-based, but the caregivers at Linda’s are just unmatched. Side note: regarding the lawsuit review, I’ve never heard of any lawsuits, and I find it irrelevant for someone who has only toured the facility to even be able to speak on it. It’s spreading falsehoods.
