I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My children were enrolled in Karen's daycare for months. I was a single dad. Karen and I became friends, when the kids mom found out, she removed them from the daycare. Both of my girls missed Karen and asked often why they had to go somewhere else. Both asked often if we could go visit Karen and their friends. We had to drive by the daycare every day when my oldest started kindergarten last year. When I was at the daycare, I saw Karen be attentive, instructional and affirming with the kids in her care. When the kids play outside, they are in a large, secure, fenced play yard with a plethora of toys, bikes, scooters, playhouses, building blocks, ride on cars, a sandbox and more. They are never "near the street" or unsupervised. They are fed nutritious snacks at snack time, and a good homecooked lunch every day.

It has been brought to my attention that someone has posted an untrue, and ugly review here in what I believe was a deliberate attempt to harm Karen, as she and I have begun dating. I believe that it is no small coincidence that the negative review was posted immediately after my children were removed from their mother and placed in my sole care by CPS, and the children moved in with me at Karens house.

If you're looking for Daycare, and that negative review leads you to believe that Karens daycare isn't good enough, I would encourage you to call Karen and arrange an interview with her at the daycare and see it for yourself before you believe that garbage review. I have contacted Child Care Center.us and asked them to remove the review. I hope they will. I also hope they will reveal the contact information of the monster who posted it so I can pursue any applicable legal recourse.

As a father, I can assure you that Kare N for Kids is a safe, friendly and nurturing environment for your kids. If you are in need of a great daycare, you would be doing your family a disservice to believe the negative review that was posted here.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I've used this facility for over a year. The teacher is my kids first daycare teacher, she is so kind and loving to all her students. She always has the best crafts and plans for the day, my kiddo wakes up in the mornings excited and ready to see her teacher. Talks about her day after school all day long. We have been so grateful to find such a loving individual to provide such great childcare for my kiddo in a new area. I have always felt comfortable and confident my kid and all other students will be taken care of, cared for and loved all day long while I'm working. The experiences and opportunities that are available with home child care are exponential compared to other facilities. I would recommend her to anyone in need for childcare. We love this place.
