Our son has been under Linda's care for the past six months and we have always been well pleased. Let's face it. It is very hard to leave your child with someone else, especially when you come from early childhood education and criminal justice backgrounds. We can say with all honesty that we did not worry about our son's safety or well-being one time or wonder if he was in good hands. It is priceless to have that peace of mind. Linda is trustworthy, professional, reliable, attentive, caring, courteous, organized, and she truly does care about the well-being of the children and families. She is also a very effective at keeping the lines of communication open, which is key to avoiding miscommunications or misunderstandings.
Linda is also a very active provider. Your child will not be parked in front of the television all day watching videos or playing video games. The children have plenty of time to play outside, do inside activities/crafts and she runs a preschool program as well. Although our son isn't preschool age, she still allows him to participate in circle time. We find great value in the fact that he is being exposed to learning experiences at such a young age. He is only 14 months old and is trying to sing his ABC's and Wheels on the Bus!
We would highly recommend Linda as a potential childcare provider. Between both of our children, we have been through six different providers over the course of four years. We can honestly say that Linda has exceeded our expectations on every level. We will miss her and we know that our son will miss Linda and his friends, but we have the opportunity to care for our son at home now. We know without a shadow of a doubt that if we ever found ourselves in a position where we needed a provider for our son again, we would rejoin the Linda's Little Learners family without hesitation.
We consider ourselves blessed that we have met Linda. She will always be dear to our hearts and will always be considered family to us.

Thanks so much for taking such great care of Allison when I couldn't be there. I appreciate everything you have done for us and especially her. She loves being there and I am sad to be leaving. I hope you know that it is for no other reason than to help out family. You always have treated her as if she was your own. Don't worry we will use your care anytime we can and will stop by for visits as we have made friends for life.
Love,

My son has been with Linda since he was 6 months old. We came from a daycare experience that was not the best, so I made sure in choosing a new daycare to ask lots of questions and interview several providers. I am confident we made the right choice for several reasons. Every morning when we come to the door, my son is so happy to see Linda. He is a pretty shy baby so it speaks volumes when he greets someone with a huge smile. In the first 4-5 weeks, Linda took the time each night to e-mail me his daily schedule. It made me feel so much better about leaving him, knowing what he was doing each day. Linda is more than a daycare provider, she is a loving Mother who treats my son like her own and we are truly grateful to have found her. I am happy to speak with anyone who is considering this childcare.

It is very hard to drop your children off every day, and not be with them yourself. However, being able to drop our kids off with Linda makes it much easier! Our toddler looks forward to seeing Linda and his friends every day, and usually doesn't want to come home at night. When we first started with Linda, she provided us with a daily accounting of his activities and meals, which really helped ease us into a new place. Once we got settled, Linda maintained the communications lines through email, helping to ensure that my husband and I always knew of any issues or problems that might have come up. We've found Linda to strike the right balance between a care giver and a teacher, and are looking forward to placing our second child in her care. Our toddler is SAFE, COMFORTABLE, LOVED, and he is LEARNING. What more could you ask for?

We loved having our son at this childcare! He is almost 2 and has learned so much from the activities they do there. He can count to 15, knows all of his colors, body parts, animals and says please and thank you. We credit a large part of his development to Linda's care. She is patient and loving and we would recommend her hands down!

Linda is THE BEST, and my kids thrive in Linda's care.
I found Linda on Craigslist by accident and it turned out to be one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. I remember the first day I took Josie to Linda's house- Josie was a tiny 3 1/2 month old! Linda has treated my kids as one of her own and I've never for a moment doubted that my kids were in a place where they were loved and well cared for. As the years went on, Linda also became our family photographer- no small thing since she has a magic touch with my kids and can get them to cooperate and listen during photo sessions. As our journey takes us to a new school with new friends, Linda, you'll always have a special place in our hearts. We love you!
