I truly can't say enough good things about the care our son has received while he's been going to B&B three days a week, for the last two years. Sending our son to B&B has felt like sending him to a place where he is truly cared for, and Darlene and Whitney have come to feel like part of the village raising him. I don't know how I would have been able to go back to working outside the home without their support, and the feeling of comfort I had about him being at B&B.
What has really stood out to us:
- Experience and Professionalism: B&B has been operating for ~20 years, and it was a huge comfort to know that he was with people who have so much experience and knowledge about caring for young children. You can really feel the benefit of this experience in the smooth way everything runs, and Darlene and Whitney's unflappable and calm leadership.
- Safety: Our son always seemed to be really well supervised, we never experienced any incidents of him getting hurt, and any minor incidents of negative interactions with other kids or scrapes/falls were shared with us. Darlene and Whitney were also really proactive about communicating about illnesses in the daycare population and taking whatever measures necessary to provide a clean, hygienic environment.
- Calm, engaging environment: I don't know how they do it, but one thing I noticed right away and still appreciate, is how calm the environment is and how calm and content the kids seem when they're there. Our son has always come home from B&B well-regulated, well-fed, and rested.
- The Facilities: Even though it is an in-home daycare, because B&B has been operating for so long, the house is extremely well set-up for the kids. Highlights include: A kitchen room for the kids, a bathroom with tiny sinks and toilets that really helped our son keep up his potty learning at daycare, two outdoor playgrounds (one with shading and cooling capabilities), a beautiful nap room, and an awesome playroom complete with the biggest in home fish tank I have ever seen. read more
