I plan to get a get a card for the teachers, but I wanted to express my feelings for the whole facility. Since Mackenzie is getting older and doesn’t like being at a “daycare,” it’s just time for us to move on. It’s a little sad for me that next week will be our last week there. As a parent, handing over your children to someone to care for and protect, as well as entertain, teach, etc, is a big decision. I was very nervous about leaving the kids there at the beginning, not knowing if they would have friends, or how they would be treated, or if the teachers would be kind, etc. I used to watch the Watchmegrow website constantly, making sure the kids seemed happy and taken care of. After all of that and all the time we’ve spent there the last year, I want to thank you and the staff. Thank you for protecting my children. Thank you for looking out for their well being. Thank you for working with Owen on his letters. Thank you for keeping the sun screen on so well that they never came home with a burn. Thank you for making them laugh. Thank you for bandaging Owen every time he got scraped up. Thank you for hugging them. Thank you for calling me to let me know Mackenzie was sick, even though I was already on my way. Thank you for locking the doors for their protection. Thank you for safely transporting them to field trips and to school. As a mom, I will always worry when my kids aren’t with me, but it’s no longer for the reasons I mentioned earlier, and that’s because of you, Jen, Lauren, Julie, Caleb, Stacey, Sam and maybe a few others that are gone now, or that I’ve forgotten. It’s not just a daycare, but it’s individuals that really take care of our kids, and your team has been great for us, and to us.  Feel free to pass the note along and keep up the good work. It means a lot.

We’re still a little new to Room 3, but so far everyone is very nice and they seem to love our little girl, so we LOVE that!  Knowing that Ms. Tina was going to be there definitely set our minds at ease with the transition.  (Who knew that would be so hard?) We can tell our daughter enjoys going to school every day so that speaks volumes to the teachers!  We can’t say enough great things about room 2!  We always knew that we were leaving our daughter in good and trusting hands, which made our work days away from her a little eaiser.  Their cheerful personalities and perma-smiles brightened our days, so we can only imagine the effect they had on the kids!  Thanks for having awesome teachers!!

I don’t know where to begin to express the appreciation we have for the teachers at All About Kids!  We’ve been blessed to a part of the program for over 2 years and are so thankful for the love and support each teacher has shown our children.  Every morning they greet us with smiles and seem excited to spend the day with our kids.  They give hugs and kisses, and discipline when necessary.  Our son has learned so much and continues to surprise us with what he knows like: breaking out in random songs and dance (like the hokey pokey), counting, saying his ABCs and not to mention all the stories he tells about his friends!  So thank you teachers for the commitment you make to improve the lives of our children.  We will forever be grateful for the love and guidance you have provided!

I just wanted to send a quick note for our Room 7 teachers.  Ms. Brittany and Ms. Courtney consistently create a fun, interactive, encouraging and warm environment for our daughter.  We always feel comforted leaving our sweet girl in the hands of these wonderful teachers.  We are very thankful for them and the entire All About Kids Anderson community.  The patience and knowledge that you all have is inspiring!!  Thank you ALL for helping our daughter grow!!!

We have so many great things to say about all the teachers our girls have had so far at AAK.  I could not write enough thanks to all the wonderful teachers at AAK who are part of our girls’ lives and development.  It is not just a daycare, it is a special school, and we feel so blessed to have you all!
