I was looking for a new daycare when my daughter was 7 months old, and after multiple…read morecorrespondence with Isabelle through e-mail, we set up a meeting. I was very impressed that she and Dave were interviewing us as much as we were interviewing them! It showed me that having the right fit for all of the children was as important to her as it was for us that our daughter would be a part of a "daycare family" instead of being just another child to care for. Eloise was on breast milk for the first 5 months she was there, and Isabelle made it so easy for my daughter to be fed in the way that I wanted her to be. When we started adding baby foods and later solid foods to her diet, Isabelle worked with me every step of the way about what to feed and what we were introducing next. Once we were through introducing new foods, she kept Eloise engaged in healthy eating with a wide variety of foods. Isabelle and Dave's was a home away from home for our daughter. We regularly received texts and pictures from her day, and if she needed a little extra attention at one point or another, we had no doubts she would receive the extra hugs and loves she needed to get through teething, a cold or just a bad day. The activities and learning lessons that were provided to our daughter were varied and were at a level that kept her challenged but were always fun. They learned about nature, outdoor play, sharing and taking turns, as well as some of the basic alphabet, colors, shapes, etc. She also loved Dave's stories and his songs! Eloise became very attached to both Isabelle and Dave, as well as all of her friends, during her time there. We very much appreciated the teaching and nurturing and level of caring that our daughter was able to experience during some of her most formative years. We all miss Isabelle and Dave very much, but know that they will be such a great influence on a new group of children. Eloise was in the care of Isabelle and Dave for nearly two years and would still be there had they not moved out of our area.

Beyond being a loving and safe place for our girls to grow while we were at work, they went above and beyond to provide an educational and enjoyable environment for all the children they care for. Both Isabelle and Dave are very loved and respected for what they do! Without hesitation, we recommend them. We remain in contact and love them very much.
