I am extremely blessed to not only have an awesome child care provider but a good friend as well. Corrinna has provided child care for my children since my oldest was 2 1/2 months old. She now takes care of my daughter 3 1/2 and my son 1 1/2. They love her, they can't wait to go to sleep at night just so they can go to Corrinna's in the morning, she is like their extra mom. She always has a smile on her face in the morning when we come and at the end of the day when we leave. Her positive, caring attitude lifts me up when I am down as well. Not only does she spend countless hours cooking, cleaning, diapering etc... she also spends a lot of time preparing lessons for her day care children, spending her own money on fun projects for them, reading books to them, and making sure they get educational teaching throughout the day on a scheduled routine. She always has something going involving nature, my little girl Sophia loves bugs or a ny kind. They have raised silk worms at Corrinna's house, they have had a roly poly farm, they have had several frogs, fish, and are encouraged to explore their surroundings. She is an excellent support to my children, myself, and my family. She is always there, always keeps good communication, but most of all, she loves my children as if they were a part of her family in her home. I would not trust them with anyone else! I just want to say thank you so much for being a part of our family, being so supportive, loving my children so much, and brightening everyone's day with a smile!

Nellie Bermudez is a fantastic day care provider. She provides safe, loving and nurturing in home care. Additionally she serves hot nutritional meals, facilitates stimulating activities and encourages creativity. My grand daughter loves going and at times procrastinates when leaving. Nellie is also soft spoken, patient and kind.

Words cannot explain how much my day care provider 'KIKI' means to me. Being the parent of a child with developmental disabilities and delays - I have always been faced with the challenge of finding a day care setting that will meet her needs and accept my child with all her strenghts and weaknesses. Kesha understands and accepts her limitations while integrating her with the other children in her program. In a positive and encouraging manner, she prompts my daughter to go the extra step and sets new (but obtainable) goals. For this, me and my family are so grateful. We have definitely seen growth, maturity and a 'CAN DO' spirit since she has been in Kesha's Care......

Muna Aljunidi (Monterey , CA)
Our eldest daughter has been with Fran for four years, and our youngest daughter has been with Fran for 7 months (both since they were 3 months old). We found Fran through some friends of ours and were originally attracted by her warm personality, cozy home setting, and commitment to quality care. Since then, Fran has become like a part of our family. Her love for our children is obvious by the smile on her face every day as we meet her at the door. It's also obvious how much our girls love her by the way they embrace her every morning. We have been amazed at our eldest daughter's educational progress with Fran and are confident she will be ready for school in the fall. Although it will be sad to see our eldest "graduate" from Fran's care, we are secure in knowing that she leaves ready for pre-k and take solace that our youngest still has another four years at Fran's.

Lydia serves as a great example of someone who loves what she does. She has put a lot of work into creating a nurturing and learning environment for the children she services. Thank you for your great work!

I would like to thank the teachers in the infant 3 room at North Country Academy of Clifton Park including Miss Jinni, Miss Amy, Miss Joie and all the other teachers that help through out the day. Its a wonderful feeling to drop your child off and not worry that he is not being well cared for all day. The teachers are always stimulating the children with various activites. My son, Joseph, who is now 15 months old has learned to dance, has a huge vocabulary and loves to hulla-hoop! Thank you for loving son. It makes leaving him all day to go to work a little easier.
Melissa Woodard (Waterford , NY)
Carla is a very dedicated, loving and caring provider. She cares for the childrens as if they were her own. I know that my child is developing in a nurturing environment. He feels loved, secure, and especially very, very happy.
Thank you so much for loving and taking care of Miguel Eduardo. Even tough sometimes it seems that I don't appreciate you I really do. Thanks for all the Dedicated Carlas around the world.
Claudia Tejeda (Manhattan , NY)
When I first moved to the area, my son had some behavioral problems that I wasn't quite sure were discipline related or medical. His two teachers, although he had several issues with his behavior had discussions with me and were overwhelmingly patient as I met with doctors to determine whether his problems were medically related or behavioral or a combination. He has since been diagnosed with ADHD and is now being treated and his attention in school and behavior have made a 180 degree turn for the better. It is in large part due to the professionalism and most likely the knowledge of the symptoms of ADHD that allowed for the incredible patience by my son's providers. They stuck by him and he loves school and his teachers.
Crystalyn Fillmore (Lawton , OK)
All of the teachers and assistants are wonderful. When u walk in whether its your first day or several months into the school year you feel welcomed. Everyone takes the time to speak whether it's good morning or good afternoon. Everyone makes you feel comfortable and that they are sincere in their job and doing the best by our children. If I could pay them back for their kindness and generosity it still would never amount to what they deserve. I appreciate each and everyone of them for giving my son the best head start for his education. Thank you all for your warm hearts,helping hands,and smiling faces. You all are excellent in the part your playing into the future of our children. Thank you and God Bless.
Jennifer Norris (Cameron , NC)
The teachers at The Goddard School are really fantastic, patient, loving professionals. My daughter has been in care there nearly three years, and has had a very positive experience. Her current lead teacher, Ms. Veronica, has been with the school for nearly five years and has been a constant in a business with pretty regular turnover. Ms. Veronica is a wonderful role model, patient and consistant teacher and creative educator. My daughter will begin kindergarten in September, and I hope that her public school experience is as positive as her child care center experience has been. Kudos to Ms. Veronica and all of the gifted child care professionals and staff at The Goddard School of Stafford.
Nadine Moore (Spotsylvania , VA)
I couldn't express in words how much I respect and admire what everyone there does for my children. My Kids are 3 and a half and 18 months. They have been going there since they were 2 months old. They have grown there and developed so much because of the direct care and loving relationships they've developed with the different teachers over the years. I couldn't ask for a better daycare. The bring truth to the saying "you get what you pay for". Although they are a little more expensive than other daycares in the area, I would never sacrafice the love, dedication and loyalty they give to my children to find a cheaper facility. These teachers actually know their kids, and care for their kids as they do their own. Whereas other daycare teachers do it because it's a job and they deal with it. I love the staff at Solid Start and my kids do too. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all that you do in helping my kids grow. We love you!!!
Jen Graves (Cameron , NC)
The Director Denise, Assistant Director Cara and many of the long time staff are dedicated professionals who keep the program well-organized, maintain a very safe setting, and at the same time create an environment where the children in the this before and after-school program have a lot of fun!!
We have had our two children in the program for many years (we finally made it off the waiting list of this popular program), and have been 100% satisfied with the staff, and the program. Our kids have loved attending OK Kids, the directors and staff have been responsive to any issues that we have brought up, and they stuck with us while our pre-teen aged out of the system gracefully.
Thank you OK Kids, we really appreciate all you do!
Laura Etlinger (Valatie , NY)
My two children attend this program, and each member of the staff treats my children like family! They have a very positive and encouraging atmosphere, and I know my children will receive excellent care! These women do so much for our family, we love them!
Melissa Toye (Kansas City , MO)
I would like to recognize what a wonderful person my day care provider is. Lynne Wells has been nothing but wonderful with my children. She loves them like they are her own. Both of my boys are thrilled each day to go to "Grammys" house. I barely get a hug and a kiss goodbye when I drop them off. I have had a bad experience in the past with child care and felt nothing but anxiety when I would drop off oldest son. It's been a great change of emotions since switching to Lynne's house. I feel that my children are safe, loved and comfortable there. When I pick them up at the end of the day they ALWAYS have smiles on their faces!!! Not only does Lynne love my children but she also instills in them the correct behavior that my husband and I try to intsill as well. She disciplines when she needs to and always communicates with us when either of the boys has been in trouble. All in all Lynne is a fabulous child care provider and a wonderful person!!!
Sarah Rushton (Rome , NY)
My daughter, Sarah, has been in child care since she was 18 years old. She is now 25 and has made it her career, continuing in early childhood education. She loves her "kids" and their parents. Every day she has a new story to tell about something adorable or a milestone one of her kids accomplished that day. She is always getting notes or kudos from her parents expressing their appreciation for what she is doing in their children's lives. She is truly a remarkable person and I am so proud that she is concerned about the lives of others and wants to raise up children to be the best they can be!
Tami Gross (Lexington , KY)

Michelle has been a Great Childcare Provider to over 14 kids in here career so far, she is very fun,friendly and treats everyone of her children she watches just as she does for her very own two children.
Tom Clark (Independence, OH)
I work with a group of Family Child Care Providers as their mentor/coach here in Colorado Springs. These ladies work long and hard to provide quality care for the children in our community. They are an amazing group of women. Each one of these providers has made a commitment to provide high quality comprehensive care for their children and the families they work with. I wanted to say thank you to Vicki, Margaret, Julie, Renee, Gwen, Heidi, Lakisha, Dainty, Tina, Deborah, and Celeste for their continued dedication and commitment to making a difference in the lives they touch daily!
Michelle Sears-Ward (Colorado Springs, CO)
My child has been in child care since she was 6 wks old... she is now 4. I don't know what we would have done without the wonderful child care providers along the way. Let's face it... they see her more than I do. They have helped mold her into the smart, funny beautiful little girl she is today. They will always have a special place in my heart.
Trish Kite-Hannon (Louisville, KY)
Ronnel provides each child with love and care at all times! She makes each one feel so special that they don't even want to go home. She even makes special events to take all the kids on a weekend evening for a slumber party. She is a great provider!
Jessica Cushman (Ridgefield, WA)
Mr. Spencer is our son's primary teacher at Bayview Intergenerational Children's Center in Seattle. All of the Bayview ICC staff has been exceptional throughout our son's history there for over a year and a half. They have developed a special age appropriate curriculum for the children and our son, Miles, and it's obvious that the teachers are put in an environment where they are able to provide excellent collaborative well-rounded care. I see this exceptional care exhibited day in and day out by Mr. Spencer. He is a perfect role model for our son; he's patient, consistent, talented, articulate, plays guitar with the kids, and is just a caring and nice individual that has helped our son blossom into a very well rounded inquisitive and knowledgable 2.5 year old! I feel fortunate to have such great people in our son, Miles', life!
Darlene Von Lehman (Seattle, WA)
Both of my youngest children go to this facility and I love it! The providers are awesome and I always feel at ease when my babies are there. Its a small daycare which allows the teachers to provide closer attention to each child. I would suggest this daycare to anyone whos in need of child care.
Debbie Ramirez (Victoria, TX)
I appreciate my child care provider because my daughter has learned so many things, including what it's like to have a wonderful teacher! Donna DeMars at Donna's Daycare exceeded my expectations for daycare.
From providing such a warm, safe, educational, and fun environment for my daughter to teaching life skills and helping us get my daughter caught up to grade level in reading! I have been telling my friends about the wonderful childcare center Donna is running. Thank You Donna!
Melisa Schell (Vancouver, WA)
I would like to recognize all my staff at our school. I never knew there was such a thing as Provider Appreciation Day. When my husband forwarded this site to me, I quickly looked on our school calendar and did not see it! I would like to contact the Powers That Be to solicite this date be recognized in print and/or media reports. What a fantastic day of recognition for all the dedication and support our staff gives to our working parents! Everyday when we are here at school, we bring so much joy not only to the children in our care, but to each other as co-workers. We truly enjoy what we do, and our parents feel that every morning and evening and they are bringing and picking up their loved ones. I am proud of what we do and wanted to share this with your readers. Thank you.
Rhonda Hensley (Elk Grove, CA)
I love the Springfield Academy where my child goes. Ms. Claudia in the infant room takes such good care of my little one. She always plays with him and provides the extra attention that he needs when I'm not there. His face just lights up when he sees her. She makes it easy for me to go to work knowing that he is in such good hands.
Flor (Arlington, VA)
My son attends a KinderCare Learning Center in Fairfax, Virginia, and the staff have been great.
I had reservations about him starting at such a young age (3 months), but Ms. Linda and Ms. Anna made the transition painless. I see the joy in his eyes when he's on a buggy ride with friends or blowing kisses good-bye to his teacher, Ms. Beatrice, in the evening. The front desk staff greet us each morning and evening, by name. That assures me that they really care about their families. In fact, when I recently mentioned that I might be moving my son to a closer location to home, Ms. Linda said, "No, please don't move him..we love him!" I really appreciate the personal touch!
Ayanna (VA)
Ms. Grace and Ms. Clemmie are two extraordinary people. My son is greeted each and every day with the biggest smile and sweetest voice you could ever imagine. His teachers are so gentle, kind and nurturing that the transition from my home to their home is an easy one for my son. They truly have made a difference in my life. I am able to work full-time without any worries of my child's well-being thanks to the level of care that is provided by these incredible women. I am able to start my day, confidently knowing that my child's day in their care is going to be filled with creative activities, new experiences, fun, and most importantly, filled with love. I could not ask for more in a child care provider. I truly appreciate my providers!
Mujaahida (Arlington, VA)
My children attended the Alexander Child Care and Preschool. Miss Pat and Mr. Ed are the best. As a teacher I appreciated having Miss Pat not only take care of my child so I can work but also taught her all her early skills so she was Kindergarten ready. I know the importance of early learning and I am grateful Miss Pat was able to do this for my child. Mr. Ed is a wonderful Male role model for the children. Its great having both a female and male influence for the children. Miss Pat has been in business for nearly 40 years. She provides quality care, and a loving nuturing environment. Miss pat is a Permitted Teacher and has earned her Degree in Early Childhood education and will graduate this Spring. It's never to late to continue your education and Miss Pat is proof of that. You can visit Miss pat's web site and learn more about this great Program. And she is accredited too.
