We have had our son (four years old) at Andreas for a few weeks now. The first four days, I left him there crying; it was heartbreaking for me as a parent. But Andrea reassured me that he would adjust and do well. My son had never stayed in a child care setting in his four years, so we understood he might find it challenging at first. Andrea kept us updated, and she was patient and resourceful with him. She came up with the lovely idea of letting him choose his reward stickers and gave him his first one after the first crying-free drop-off. Also, I want to mention that our son's first language isn't English so that communication may have been a bit confusing for both my son and Andrea. Still, the language barrier hasn't been something to worry about for Andrea, and she has been very good with our son and involved from the beginning. Our son loves animals, and having Dexter there was a big plus for him. 🐈♥️
Our son has grown to enjoy his time at Andrea's, and no longer cries at drop-off. He comes home very happy and tells us, very excited, how his time went there. We are happy that he is making new friends, building confidence, and improving his communication, which will prepare him for starting school next year. Andrea puts a lot of effort into her work, keeps her place well maintained, and constantly tries new ways to offer better alternatives for children. Also, when we went for the first viewing, I communicated to Andrea how my son loves dinosaurs, and she said she would have the dinosaur toys ready for his starting day, and she did. She is so thoughtful and pays close attention to detail.
Overall, we are very pleased with Andrea, and we have already recommended her to friends and family; we will consider her for our youngest when the time comes.
Thank you, Andrea.
