Ms. Sharita Walker is a treasure. Society holds together because of people like her. Seriously…read more Her approach to caring for children is driven by a remarkable combination of passion and intellectual excellence. She's obviously studied various schools of thought on the subject of childcare (it was enlightening to hear her explain them), and she's extracted best practices and combined them into her own unique blend. So there's deep thought that's gone into what she does. On top of the sound philosophy, she's innovative in her hands-on dimension, too. She has a garden where she and the children grow food (that they eat) and learn to appreciate mother nature. Wow. In a world where too many people are hustling and skimping and not doing their fair share, it's heartening to encounter a Sharita Walker, who does more than her fair share, while smiling and practicing joy. Her big-heartedness is just what children need to be around. Adults, too.

Starting at 2 years old they get to go the gym to work on Gross Motor Skills, each day. This is in addition to going outside to the playground. There is no other program that focuses on the Gross Motor Skills starting at such a young age. In addition, there is music, life skills, special events put on by the school to make the families feel included (Family Night, Donuts with Dads, Muffins with Moms, Christmas programs with the family, and so many more). I highly recommend River Road Preschool. You will not be disappointed!

I had my first experience with using CCC last week. The day before my appointment I received a profile of the sitter with very detailed explanations of her experience and a picture! The next night she arrived on time and immediately started interacting with the kids. They were asking her questions and telling her the bedtime rules before I could get a word in. She took everything with stride and the kids were instantly won over. I had a brief discussion with her about where I was going and what time the kids needed to go to bed, we exchanged numbers and I was out the door! When I got home the house was so clean! It was like the 3 kids were not even there and even better than that all three were sound asleep! I signed the time log and she was on her way. I didn't even have to have cash to figure out what to pay because CCC takes care of that for me. I am looking forward to the next time I need a sitter now!!!

She stated she asked him to do something, and he asked why, and she stated they are not allowed to ask why. Why is a question word and not sure how that is rude or disrespectful. My nephew is very outgoing and one day he was to be dropped off and refused to get out the car. At that point, I knew something was not right. The following week he pooped on his self, and they refused to clean him up and sent him home covered in crap. Talk about wrong and disrespectful, you can do this, but he can't ask you why which is a question word. He will not be coming back, and I would not advise anyone to leave their child there. This program is supposed to be Christian based yet are we acting like Christians. Jesus said suffer the little children. Where is the compassion?
