My daughter has been with Holly for a little over a year and a half and have always had good things! She absolutely loves going and playing with the other kids, especially when it comes to going outside! I couldn’t ask for a better provider or recommend anyone more caring and devoted to our kids! My daughter is working on potty training as well and Holly does better than I can at getting her to go potty, and it is always appreciated. They work on crafts and learning and we love that she is always right there with the kids ready to have fun!

My boys have been with Holly since they were babies and they are now 5. She ensures to spend one on one time with each child. She does pre school activities with them to help them learn and get ready for school. She will help potty train and read books to them. The kids are so attached to her and every other child I have seen in her care fall in love with her. There’s been times that the kids have asked to stay with Holly. Holly is the most understanding and compassionate person I have come across to take care and practically raise my boys since day one. She loves my boys like her own and I will fully forever be appreciative of her for that. There’s been several times when I’ve been late getting to her house for pick up and she was more than willing to keep them for the extra minute they were there or she has met me in town for the boys if I woke up late so I could get to work on time. If anything happened during the time they were in her care she would reach out and let me aware prior to arrival, such as one of them getting hurt or any accidents were made. Holly is always up front and honest. When my one boy was sick with appendicitis and having pain, before we knew he had that, she would lay on the floor and cry with him and cuddle him until we got there to rush him to the Emergency Room. She is so loving towards every child that walks into her home. She loves them like her own and that is something you cannot find anymore anywhere. She will teach them right from wrong. When there are babies or toddlers in her care she watches them like a hawk. She ensures to teach the older children to be gentle when it comes time to be around them, shes even set up a separate play room for them to ensure their safety. My boys love the little ones that come in to her care and that helps so much for when it comes time for their sibling to enter this world in a few months. They are already getting the feel and the hang of things when it comes to babies. From what I have witnessed and seen the babies absolutely love being around the older kids and be interactive with them too. So it’s definitely a great best of both worlds! I cannot thank Holly enough for the amount of care and love she puts into her career and home. We are so appreciative of her and the support she has provided for my family and our boys!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My 1 year old started there on 03/27/2023. On that day, 03/27/2023 he ended up with a cracked chin. When asked about it on 03/28 as to what happened, she messaged me “We was playing in the playroom and he was sticking everything in his mouth. Scraped it on one of the toys. I order some teething toys for him.” On 03/29/2023 I asked how he was getting along with the other kids since he was the youngest. she said she had to make a separate play room for him because the bigger boys are too rough and don’t understand he’s a baby, she also brought up that they don’t understand why he gets to sit in a high chair while they have to sit in the regular chairs for lunch (her other kids range from ages 2-5). 0n 04/05/23 I got a message from her stating “ Calvin got himself with a toy again was sitting in the floor playing with the trucks and smacked it on his face.” On 04/20/23 she messaged me at work, “Calvin fell and busted his eye on a toy. ”after the third time getting hurt in a little over three weeks of attending, I questioned whether the other boys were the reason he was getting hurt. She became very defensive and put her two weeks in shortly after. If your child is under two I do not recommend this daycare.

Owner response : I took all the precautions necessary to provide for a one-year-old and keep him safe. He was just learning to walk and was clumsy the other kids played well with him but did not understand some stuff. And I hated to give my two weeks he was a good kid and did really well here. I was just made feel like I was doing something wrong and I wasn’t. I’m with the kids at all time. But they came to me bad mouthing another daycare so that should have been a red flag for me.
