Definitely recommend. ----- Author: Sarah Geagel Rating: 1/5 Date: 11/20/2021, 1:48:09 PM Review: (LONG POST WARNING) As you can see, Miss Lynda has got nothing but 5 star reviews. However, this is not the case for my family’s experience with her daycare. First we sent my daughter to her daycare for two days and the last day, she developed a cold. We had to keep her out of daycare for several weeks. When we finally decided to send her back for 2 days per week only, she gets kicked out on her first day back. You read that correct, kicked out on her first day back. My daughter is 9 months and the reason she was kicked out was for screaming. She screamed at the other baby and she would scream throughout the day was the explanation that Lynda gave me. During the day of her getting kicked out, I texted Lynda to check on her and she told me she screamed at the other kid. I am upset because if Lynda knew she was going to kick my daughter out , she should have communicated to me to begin to look for other care. She literally blind sided us and left us no time to find another day care. I asked her for another day to try to see how my daughter would respond. Mind you, she is not in full day care and wasn’t even given a chance to adjust. Lynda was so adamant on kicking my daughter out and was not understanding at all to the fact that day cares are so hard to find these days with Covid. Another thing I was not fond of was Lynda showing me an example of my daughters scream and her scream made my child cry. If Lynda cannot handle a baby’s scream, I do not know why she offers care to infants. Even if she decided she would take my daughter back, I wouldn’t even feel comfortable with her caring for her because who knows what she would do if she screamed again! The only reason I gave her a star is for her pricing. That is the only good thing I can say about her day care. To anybody considering her day care, make sure your child doesn’t scream and you have a back up day care in case they get kicked out on the first day!

Ms. Lynda had watched our daughter for over a year. She is kind and caring towards the children and the parents. She focuses on the development of the children and provides feedback to the parents. We value our time with Ms. Lynda, as she was our first ever daycare provider. As new parents at the time, we were nervous. But, Ms. Lynda made the transition into daycare pretty easy. We are grateful to have worked with Ms. Lynda, and our daughter came out of the experience a happy, healthy, compassionate and entertaining little toddler. Thank you, Ms. Lynda. :-)
We had our daughter with Ms. Lynda from 7 months to about 19 months, and she is an absolute joy. The only reason we aren't still with her is because we moved out of state. There were times when I picked up our daughter, and she cried because she did not want to leave. Lynda is kind, so loving with the kids she cares for and focuses on their development and motor skills so they aren't sitting around watching TV all day. She has holistic views on health and is mindful and respectful of what parents want for their kids. She also encourages the kids to connect with each other so they develop relationships with their peers from a young age. At times, she provided me feedback, and as a new Mom, I really appreciated the open conversations with her. We love her, our daughter loves her, and we recommend her to anyone looking for childcare. We feel blessed to have the time with her we did. ❤️
We had Miss Lynda watch our infant for a few months and had a great experience, no issues at all. Definitely recommend.

Ms. Linda is caring and amazing professional. Although my son only went there for a few days, he absolutely enjoyed going there. Daycare is clean with all necessary COVID protocols and has both indoor and outdoor play for kids. Ms. Linda also provides meals and snacks.We highly recommend this daycare for both short the and long term daycare needs.
Ms. Lynda is a responsible and takes care of the kids very well. She loves the kids like her own children. They got a room they can play in. I would recommend this day care for your child.
My daughter loves when she gets to daycare every morning, Lynda teaches her, does arts and crafts, keeps her safe and happy. I couldn’t ask for a better daycare provider.
Ms. Lynda is thorough, communicative, and truly cares about the wellbeing of the children in her care. My little guy was always well taken care of. Dry and well fed- always smiling when I picked him up. She also worked with me on my special scheduling needs ♥️
