    “We love The Rock School, we have been at the Rock for seven years and I see great leadership and growth in our children. This school has great morals and teaches the word of God. They have received great education and preparation for college.”

    “We have been so impressed and grateful for Open Arms Child Academy. Our son started just before he turned two and is now almost three. He has learned so much since joining Open Arms. It is obvious to us that Open Arms is truly working with him, and not merely baby sitting. They bring an ethical and moral standard to their approach and to the classroom. I feel blessed to have them as part of our life routine. Highly recommend.”

    “My daughter started at 15 months and we have been there for two months now for the summer semester. We have had a really positive experience, and she seems to really enjoy being there. We currently do half days every other day, and it’s been a great ease in for her. Staff is very caring and communicative. I feel good about dropping her off knowing that she is going to be well taken care of and have fun experiences (painting, sensory bins, gardening, etc)!”

    “I’ve struggled to write this because it’s hard to find the words to describe how wonderful Mrs. Myrtis is. So I asked my son “what do you like about Mrs. Myrtis?” He said “sometimes I go to school crying and she makes me feel better. She sits with me on the big playground. Sometimes I’m on the rug by myself all alone and I want people to sit with me and she calls them over to sit with me.” I love his answer because he is describing inclusion and that’s what I love most about Mrs. Myrtis. I met her last year when she peeked over and said “oh it’s going to rain” I said huh? She said Andrew has shoes on today, it rains when he wears shoes. I thought about it, and she was right. On sunny days he would leave the house with no shoes and put them on in the classroom, he didn’t like his feet getting wet so if it had rained or was raining he’d let me get his shoes on in the house. They became great friends and he wanted to move up to her class and needing to be potty trained to do that was one of the biggest motivators for him to potty train. He hates getting dressed and would fight putting pants on. I said “do you want to wear a dress?” one day in frustration. And he said yeah, and then said he wanted to wear a dress every day after that, so I bought him a dress. He wore it to school and she asked for an explanation and I explained the fighting about getting dressed, and that I wear dresses, his sister wears dresses, his cousin and best friend wears dresses, there’s nothing wrong with wearing dresses. She nodded and said supporting our kids in little ways now shows them you’ll support them in big ways when they’re older. I get it. She gets him in ways that a lot of other people don’t and I will always love her for that.”

    “This has been such a great place for our kids. We had our son attend before he started vpk and then vpk which was so good for his growth. Now we have our second child following the same route and will be with Ms. Taylor who is always excited to see her students and spend the day with them!”

    “We love everything about Abacus. Everyday we pick up our daughter she is smiling and happy. She has been here since she was 9 months old and we feel so comfortable leaving her here! Her Teacher Ms. Auri is a blessing and keeps us updated daily, 3-4 times on how she is doing! Highly recommend them if you are looking for somewhere professional and loving!”

    “La petite has been amazing. I had a child go there for VPK 3 years ago so when it was time for my son to go to VPK last year I already knew where he was going. The teachers there are amazing especially Ms. Erika. She tends to the kids like they are her own. The activities and learning things she does with them my kids loved. I loved getting them in the car and asking what they learned today, it was always something new. I would give them 10 stars if I could”

    “I would like to nominate Miss Cheyenne with heartfelt gratitude. I have witnessed firsthand her incredible dedication in the classroom, especially with my daughter, Mía. Every time I see her engaging with the kids, I can see the patience, warmth, and true passion she brings to them. Miss Cheyenne doesn’t just teach,she nurtures. I’ve seen how Mía has blossomed under her care, coming home inspired and happy. Miss Cheyenne’s dedication is visible in every moment,whether it’s encouraging a shy child or celebrating a small success. She embodies what an outstanding educator should be, and I wholeheartedly believe she deserves this recognition.”

    “It’s my toddler’s 5th month in this daycare and we absolutely love it! I’m impressed by how much hands-on the management is. They know each kid very well. I had concerns about my son’s development and have received so much detailed input about everything he does; from his interactions with peers/teachers, his sensory preferences to his toileting/sleeping/eating habits which feels like everyone in this daycare knows my son so well and notices the tiny details I have monitored closely without me even asking them to. My son had to switch 2 daycares before and no manager had known much about his day-to-day like this place. The teachers are very very patient and gentle and they tailor to each kid’s needs without judgement. My son had been judged and neglected due to his speech delay in other daycares before and I think KidWorks is a place for him to heal. I watched my friends’ kids grow here from infancy till they went to KG. You wouldn’t want to put your kid anywhere else. I wish my son had started here as an infant, I would’ve known and watched every bit of his growth throughout these critical times of his development. I never thought I’d find a place that cares about my son’s well-being and future like KidWorks does. We’re so happy we are here!”

    “While my mother was recuperating from a broken hip and arm, Shands Homecare assisted with nursing care, physical therapy and home health aide. Everyone involved provided very compassionate and professional care. The staff were very pleasant and enjoyable and went above and beyond to assist me. We would always recommend Shands Homecare.”

And I know it can be scary at first, but She’s always all smiles when i drop her off and when I pick her up and They’ll let me know if they have any concerns, if her day was off, when she had a great day, ect. They treat your babies like their own. I’m so happy my baby goes here.”

    “I absolutely love this childcare center. My two older boys went here from the ages of 1 and 6 weeks and stayed until they left for Kindergarten. Once I had my daughter and needed to place her in daycare Love n Care was the call I made. All of the staff are very professional and caring. The daycare gives a loving family environment. I recommend this childcare center to anyone I know looking for care. We love Mrs. Netra & Ms. Erika for providing our babies with the best place in town to learn and grow.”

Everyone I saw was welcoming and attentive, and the overall vibe was positive and relaxed. It gave me a good impression and feels like a place I’d keep in mind down the road!”

    “Cuddly kids academy is wonderful. My daughter smile and runs to the door every morning I drop her off. When I pick her up she always looks so happy playing with the other babies and her teachers. She was struggling to talk when I enrolled her; she’d only say 15-20 words. In less than a month she was saying >50 words and is now speaking in 3 word sentences and pronouncing more complex multi syllable words. Her diaper is always fresh and she’s always had a recent snack. The people who work here are amazing and we are thrilled and grateful with the job they are doing with our baby.”

    “We have had such a great experience with Small World. The teachers and staff are always so kind, loving, and patient, and you can tell they really care about the kids. Our child feels comfortable and happy there, which means everything to us. Small World has such a warm, family feeling, and the people there make you feel like your child is genuinely known and cared for. We’re so thankful for all the love and attention they give every day. I would definitely recommend them to other families.”

    “My son went here for a year and we truly enjoyed the experience and staff at this daycare. The staff treated my son like family and the owners are always available for questions. Never once did I worry about my son while he was at daycare. My son came home happy every day. Unfortunately we had to move so we had to switch to a different daycare. I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a daycare in Gainesville.”
