Because of the pandemic, we struggled a lot to make the decision to move our son to a daycare facility. We spent the first year of his life taking advantage of the work from home life to care for him at home. As he grew up, caring for him became difficult because of our demanding jobs and also because his development required more activities and interactions that we were able to provide during working hours. We were also afraid of the social impact of isolation on his development.
Within this context, we decided to look for daycare options and how lucky we were to find these providers! After our first meeting I was left feeling reassured by the cleanliness, the facilities, the curriculum, and the healthy meal options. We enrolled without second thoughts.
We are so grateful to have found this daycare because they are like family to us now. Our son loves to attend the daycare and has achieved many language, social, and academic milestones that are developmentally appropriate for his age. These providers are also always observant of his physical wellbeing and progress and are timely to suggest recommendations when needing (i.e picking eating habits, overcoming cold symptoms, teething, etc). We always provide him with everything he is going to need over the day, but whenever he forgets something at home I know he will be taken care of. For instance, during one of the crazy weather switch in early summer, he didn't bring a jacket but the main provider gave him one that they have at the daycare so he could play outdoor comfortably. He also prefers the food provided at the daycare than the one provide at home, and how is he spoiled! I have received reports of him repeating lunch up to three times in one day, and everytime he will be given something extra to feel full. He has gained a healthy weight and is growing so fit and handsome. The patio and outdoor playtime is superb!
I could spend more and more lines speaking about how much we like this daycare. The only thing I could really say, though, is: THANK YOU for becoming like family to us and for loving and caring for Thiago so dearly. I could never repay your kindness with my son and everything you do for him.
