| My 7 year old daughter started coming to Miss Lisa's 2 summers ago when we moved to town. Her program really stuck out to me when I was selecting a daycare. Her expertise with children with special needs was my deal maker. It is so nice being able to talk with Lisa about my daughters ADHD and her fully understanding even just the little things that I deal with on a daily basis. My daughter always looks forward to going to Miss Lisa's house especially this week since she gets to help feed and water the animals. In my opinion Lisa has a great set up and I always see smiling faces coming and going. I'm glad to have such an awesome childcare for my daughter to go to and also the friendship that both myself and my daughter have built with both Lisa and her whole family. |

| My daughter is 4 years old and has been attending Ms. Lisa's program since she was six months old.
My daughter has excelled tremendously through the support and expertise Ms. Lisa has given to my daughter. Ms. Lisa has great knowledge working with children with developmental delays and sensitivity issues. This has allowed me to be put at ease when dealing with my daughter's needs.
Her regimented program and consistent daily routine has allowed my daughter to transition better into a pre-school setting. She's learning more each day of how to become independent and be a respectful individual and this is all through the aid of Ms. Lisa's program.
Ms. Lisa has also provided insightful advice in terms of learning techniques and behavior strategies to help my daughter become successful at pre-school and at home.
If it wasn't for Ms. Lisa's knowledge, commitment, and patience my daughter would not be where she is at today. We are fortunate for Ms. Lisa and her nurturing program which provides my daughter with a stable and loving environment that teaches her how to respect others.

| My son is 5 years old and has been with Ms. Lisa since he was 8 weeks old. I had looked at a lot of places to send my son but this place was the one that stuck out. She makes learning fun and tries to find what your child likes and expands deeper in to it so that they don't get bored. She really challenges my son. He has learned so much from attending her Montessori program and teaches the children good manners and teaches them about bullying which I love that they incorporate that into there teaching there, so when the kids go on to higher learning they will spread that knowledge. |

| My son is 9 years old and has been in Ms. Lisa's care since he was 4. Although he now only attends before and after school (unless school is closed, like today!), he continues to enjoy going. He gets excited, and that makes me feel good. I don't have to worry because I know that he is well taken care of while I am at work. Ms. Lisa prides herself on a structured learning environment, yet maintains a family oriented feel. I am thankful for the quality care my son has received. |

| My daughter has been going to Lisa since she was 8 weeks old. Lisa has been very good at showing love and nurturance to my daughter while still setting limits and teaching her. My daughter looks forward to going to her home every day. My daughter has also been dealing with a heart condition since birth and Lisa was great at staying calm and collected if her heart waa acting up and also did very well at accommodating the special needs that goes with a heart condition. I highly recommend Lisa for daycare/preschool. |
