Testimonials
Mahala and Natalie are so hard-working. They are thoughtful and kind and always look at how they can support families within the community. Prepare. We are SO lucky to have these two beautiful ladies. We will miss them.
You have made a world of difference to us as a family. I was nervous about our child’s hearing loss and finding a care provider who would make appropriate learning adjustments for her needs. You gave me the confidence to return from MAT leave. Your staff have been fantastic, so caring and considerate toward our daughter. They have built a beautiful rapport quickly and have always given a thoughtful handover in the afternoons. You provided an environment that was supportive of our daughter’s social, emotional, and developmental needs, with particular attention to her communication skills.
