Our son just started pre-school, and there is room for new kids at Kathy's daycare. We are delighted with our experience there. Kathy is an exceptionally loving provider, and gets to know and care for the kids as her own. At drop-off time, she knew that my son would be sad to see me go, so she always had something new and fun to engage him with.

Her daycare is on the first floor or her cute house, and she takes them out to the back yard as often as the weather permits. She cooks organic lunches every day, and when I was still nursing, she was happy to take my pumped milk and give it to my son.

She potty-trained our son at 19 months. After going through the process with our first two (at 2 1/2 or more), I was very skeptical, but she totally, and successfully did it on her own. Amazing. Her daughters have become our go-to sitters for parents' nights out. They knew Quincy well from day care, and they are so cool and charming that my older two love them like sisters.

Kathy's rates seemed very reasonable at the time, but you should ask for an update. Feel free to give me a call too.

We've been sending our son to Kathy at Applejacks for over a year now and we are so happy with our choice that I thought I should share it here. The bottom line is that they are human. They run a business, but they are all so sincere, they really love your child like it's their own. They are also very flexible and accommodating when it comes to your crazy parent wishes, such as foods (we are vegetarian and prefer organic), schedule, cloth diapers, whatever your needs are. They also helped us potty train our now 2 year old son and he is, for the most part, potty trained for the past 6 months. Most of all, and I'm repeating myself, is the love that I feel when I leave my baby there, and the way he talks about daycare when I pick him up verifies it. Andre
