Gayle checked all the boxes and more! It’s very important to me that daycare is like a second home for my son. That he can grow and build relationships and learn under the care of someone who truly knows him and can gently guide him along. Gayle not only cares for my son like family, she patiently helps me navigate the challenges of parenthood. My son loves going to daycare. The environment is calm, clean and inviting. I’m soo grateful that we found Gayle. I highly recommend!

It comes with great pleasure to recommend Gayle for child care. She not only cares for my child but treats him as her own. She has been wonderful with my son! He’s been with her since he was 2 months old. I was nervous at first because this is my first child, I didn’t know what to expect but Gayle made the transition incredibly easy, between her care and love for the children and the small group that she cares for.

My son’s advancement has been amazing! The socialization he gets with the 2 other children is great. He’s picking up on social cues and talking cues. She also offers a pre-k learning program for the older children which I cant wait to utilize!

Shes incredibly easy to work and communicate with. Sends texts or pictures for updates on your child. I couldnt recommend her more!

To parents seeking child care,

I have worked with Gayle over the last six years, in that time she has cared for both my boys.

Gayle has consistently showed attention to detail, and compassion in everything she did for my children. Certified in First Aid and Child and Baby CPR, she is vigilant in maintaining a safe and clean environment for her charges.

Gayle was vital in getting both of my children on a regular schedules when they were babies, and offered pre-school activities when they were older and getting ready to transition out of her care.

She has worked with children of different ages, abilities, and learning styles, and has brought her vast patience and empathy, as well as her communication, flexibility, and organizational skills, to working with parents and the children under her care. I believe her experience will make her an ideal candidate for care for your child.

After visiting several area day care providers and leaving without a sense of security, we were so happy to find Gayle. She has provided care for our son since he was 3 months old and in that time he has shown incredible growth. We highly recommend Gayle’s services.

Gayle has been taking care of our daughter since she was three months old, and every day she is more excited to get in the car and go see Gayle and her “friends.” Gayle does a fantastic job of keepi a fun atmosphere while also teaching manners and respect. She provides wonderful, healthy meals, and has been able to get our daughter to eat all sorts of new things!! She is an amazing asset to our lives and it is a great feeling knowing that our daughter is well taken care of while we are at work.

My daughter, born in September of 2012, was in the care of the most wonderful lady a new, scared mom like myself could ask for. Gayle looked after our Anichka from the time she was 6 weeks old up until she was 6 months old. Because we had moved out of town, we were no longer close enough for Gayle to watch her. It broke our hearts to leave, and we even asked her to move with us!

Going back to work after only being with my new baby for 6 weeks was the hardest thing I’d ever had to do. But that sadness and fear of being away from my newborn for the first time was eased by the fact that I knew in my heart that she was in a safe, warm, loving environment, and being cared for by a very experienced, very patient, kind and loving lady. I knew that Anichka was in the right place. I urge you to go to Gayle for daycare for your infant/Pre-K child. She is absolutely wonderful! If you have any questions, please feel free to get my contact information from Gayle, and I will gladly answer every question I can!

If you are looking for someone to care for your child/children, I would love to recommend Gayle Kennedy. We have entrusted her with the care of our children for close to five years and could not be more pleased with her in home childcare. Gayle set our minds at ease as soon as we met her. I was a first time mom and had just had my daughter. She is so wonderful with children and of all the things there are to think about and concern your mind with, it was so nice to have her calming presence and reassurance.

I now have both my son and daughter there, and we are only leaving due to transportation issues with Kindergarten for my daughter. When I drop my kids off in the morning they are happy to see her and my husband does pick up but he has told me he has trouble getting them to leave (they are so engaged in play). Gayle has been wonderful with our children through all the stages and years they have been in her care. She was the first person to get my daughter to take a bottle (which was such a difficult task for my husband and anyone else who attempted) and has helped with speech and motor skills for both kids.

I know that it is difficult to envision someone else being there with your children while you work or take care of other of life necessities…but Gayle truly is a rare find and such a giving person. If you have questions, or would like to talk, I would like to help. Email Gayle and she can provide a telephone number to reach me.
