Testimonials  

When we started out looking for childcare, we were both so worried about who would be watching our first born. Would he be well taken care of, looked after and helped grow emotionally and mentally. Never did I think we'd be so lucky to find someone to care after our son and our family as you have done these past years.

Through every step of the way, all the good and bad stages, you have helped develop Rocco into an awesome (in our eyes at least) little guy. You have also been there for us, as first time parents, to help navigate us through this exciting and sometimes frustrating journey. We thank you for the foundation you have helped us build for our son and know that it help lead to great thins for him.

We also thank you and your family for opening up your home to our son and family. Your family has been so amazing to our son and we greatly appreciate that.

As Rocco takes this next step into his future, I hope we were able to express just how much he and we appreciate you. As parents, I don't think we have make a better decision than having you take care of our son. We hope we are lucky enough to have you take care of our next child.

Thank you so much.

My son has been at Bambi's daycare since I had to go back to work after maternity leave (April 2017), so it's been just over 3 years. I can't say enough positive and beaming things about the caring environment that Bambi provides for the children in her care. If I could give her 10 stars I would! Her home daycare felt like an extension of our family -- she's always been so patient, supportive, flexible and understanding. She clearly has a gift for working with young ones, she's such a natural.

Countless times she's offered guidance and insights to help us through every stage from teething to baby constipation to the "terrible twos." Often she's been a lifeline for us when we are stumped by something our son is going through, offering seasoned advice.

Bambi came highly recommended to us by friends who enthusiastically recommended her as being the best home away from home experience for their babies and young children. We couldn't agree more. We will continue to stay in touch with Bambi for years to come as she has a special place in our hearts given all of the care she's given and shared with us and our son.

Thank you Bambi!

We  cannot say enough wonderful things about Bambi and the care she demonstrated for our daughters during the past five years. Bambi started taking care of our first child when she was 5 months old and our second daughter when she was 4 months old as we are both working parents. Bambi was another parent to our children and we are so thankful we had in our lives. Every morning at drop off, she greets you with a warm smile and is also so delighted to welcome your child. On the days when our girls were having a tough morning or were being extra clingy, Bambi always knew how to welcome them in and make both the girls and us feel assured. The girls would stop crying as soon as Bambi took them. She would always have a warm breakfast ready to greet the children or would be ready to feed them a bottle or baby food. She really helps get the children on a schedule that is best for them to help them grow and develop. She provided the children with delicious meals and snacks ans teaches them good manners as well when they are eating. She helps figure our nap times that works best and she adjust that as the child grows, ensuring he or she is getting enough sleep while at daycare. She has separate spaces for the infants and toddlers to sleep which helps them maintain their schedules. And, Bambi is always so understanding if you need to drop the child off a little bit early or you have to pick up a little bit after closing -- she really cares for each family and will work to make sure you have nothing to worry about in regard to your child and your schedule.

Bambi's home became a second home for our children. She has the best spaces set up for the children to explore and develop. Children learn to play with each other and how to share as well. She has toys for all different ages of kids and these toys encourage children to discover and learn and grow. She also rotates the toys or spaces to help the children keep their brains active and thinking with new things to explore. My girls always loved her train table, the little playhouses, Legos, Mr. Potato head, and so many more things -- then activities for the kids never ends here. My girls still ask to go to Bambi's to play with her toys. She also has an amazing backyard space where the children spend substantial time outside, playing and exploring in the playhouses and with other toys. It always would make me smile when I would arrive to pick the girls up in the afternoon and T could hear the children squealing with delight or giggling in the backyard -- it is such a fun space for kids.

Due to her extensive experience with children, Bambi also became our go to individual for all questions regarding our children, especially when they were babies. Bambi could tell when our daughters had an ear infection or were teething... you name it, Bambi can help. She is such a genuine individual and we were so sad to have outgrown Bambi's nut hope it will be a wonderful space for new families and that they can be as lucky as we were to have Bambi in our lives. My girls still plan on making visits to Bambi -- they still light up when they see her and always love to go say hi. If you are looking for the best daycare, then look no further. Bambi is an attentive, loving, genuine, patient, and considerate individual. We would recommend her to any family who is looking for daycare!

Bambi cared for both our children from the age of three months-old through transition to kindergarten. At the risk of sounding cliché, I don't know what we would have done without her. As full-time working parents without immediate family in the area, Bambi helped us raise our children. She accommodated early/late work schedules and provided a fun, safe and educational environment that our kids truly enjoyed. We refer to Bambi as the "Kid Whisperer" as she has a way of calming, soothing and maintaining order of all the busy munchkins. If you are looking for a childcare provider, full-time or part-time, we highly recommend Bambi. 

My husband and I stumbled upon Bambi's Daycare from a coworker of mine as well as from recommendations on the Willow Glen email list. We were so fortunate to be able to utilize her bare for our son, Everett, from the time he was 10 months old to 18 months. Had we not experienced some changes in our work hours that allowed us to be home with him more, we would have definitely continued sending him on a weekly basis to Bambi's. Her care for our son has been nothing short of impressive. She provides such a loving, clean, productive and safe environment for the little ones. Much to our surprise early on, Everett napped and ate so well at Bambi's. He was always excited to go to Bambi's and seemed to fit in right away. One of the things that so impressed us about Bambi from the beginning was her professionalism. She adheres strictly to state guidelines, including following all background check and fingerprinting requirements for anyone in the home. We have always felt so confident in her care of Everett, and have not worried once about him when he is there. I would highly recommend Bambi's Daycare to anyone who has a young child looking for full time child care in a safe, fun, and loving environment.

I cannot begin to praise Bambi and her daycare highly enough. She has the perfect balance of firm and caring, and the amount that she truly cares for each and every child in her charge is more than obvious to anybody who sees her with them. She has an almost magical ability to get all of the kids to take a nap at the came time, even my ridiculously stubborn youngest. She also takes an active hand in pushing their development as far as they can go. By the time my daughter was ready for preschool, she was sounding our words and counting to 100. By the time she left Bambi's care, Bambi and her one family felt like part of our own.

We are pleased to write this letter or recommendation for Bambi's Daycare. Our son, Dominic, was in Bambi's full-time care for 2-1/2 years (from 15 months until just shy of 4 years old) and it was a wonderful experience the entire time. Dominic really thrived there, and beyond enjoying the interaction with the other children, he gained a lot of confidence that really prepared him to enter preschool.

The overall environment at Bambi's Daycare is very warm and inviting for children, really "just like home" as is advertised. There are a lot of nice play areas, both inside and out, that are always kept clean and well organized. We were always impressed by the continual level of investment Bambi put into keeping things fun and fresh for the children by adding new play and learning materials and occasionally rearranging the play rooms. It was often a challenge to get Dominic to want to leave and come home at the end of the day!

Most importantly, Bambi is extremely experienced with children, both from raising three children herself and from many years of running her daycare. She is diligent about keeping herself and her entire family certified in pediatric CPR and First Aid, and invites parents to attend the annual training sessions in her home. As first-time parents, she gave us a lot of useful information and tips as we went along, on things from feeding to toilet training. She definitely has a demeanor that the kids respond to, and we found that she handles children with different personalities and stages of development extremely well as they interact together. Bambi is very reliable too; in our 2 1/2 years she never called in sick once. We would not hesitate to recommend Bambi's Daycare to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable and fun environment for their children, and we still take Dominic there for any days off from school that we need help covering.

My wife an I have been bringing our son to Bambi's daycare for over three years. Our son was not in the best of care for his first year, showing aggressive behavior. In less than one week at Bambi's daycare he was a new guy. Bambi is great and she really cares. Her daycare is extremely safe and she is very proactive i keeping the children in her care safe. She has plenty of learning activities to keep the children busy as well as plenty of play space. Bambi understands that the children's parents have their ways of doing things and she is flexible with the parent's requests. On that same note she also has a daycare to run and she does a great job with making sure the actions taken with the children are safe and effective. We are extremely proud of how our son has done under Bambi's care and we highly recommend her. If we where to have any more children we would definitely bring the to Bambi's Daycare.

It is with great pleasure that we write this letter of recommendation for Bambi's Daycare. We started looking for care for our eldest son when he was approximately seven months old. We interviewed nannies, toured several daycare centers, but nothing felt right. We received a referral to Bambi's Daycare from a friend and fellow parent. When we met Bambi, we knew that we had found the right place for our son. Bambi has taken care of our eldest son since he was just an infant. He is now five and a half year old. When our second son was born and it was time to return to work, Bambi also began to provide care for him. Our youngest son is now nearly four years old.

Bambi's Daycare has always been a warn, loving place for our two active boys. Bambi has an extraordinary wealth of knowledge when it comes to children -- we have looked to her for advice on issues such as feeding, bedtime, and even discipline. She has never failed to be a thoughtful, patient, nurturing caregiver. We trust her implicitly with our boys. In addition, Bambi always goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to flexible scheduling; she has truly been a lifesaver. As an added plus, my boys have made many close friends during their time at Bambi's Daycare. The children and parents have all been lovely, and our boys have certainly thrived in Bambi's home. Although we have since moved from the area, our family will continue to have great memories form Bambi's Daycare.

For nearly five years, Bambi's Daycare has provided a safe and fun environment for our boys. We truly have no reservation when we recommend Bambi to other parents. It is simply a wonderful place for children.

I'm writing on behalf of Bambi's Daycare. My son Ronan attended this daycare for about 6 months. We both absolutely loved it. Ronan was never upset to be dropped off. Bambi's home and yard was perfect for a warm and inviting daycare, and Bambi and her family were wonderful. We've had to make other arrangements due to financial reasons. However, if we ever have the opportunity to come back, we definitely will.

Over the past three years, Caelan has had the most wonderful time at your daycare. The love, care and attention that you, Chris, Robert and Heather have offered can be seen from the smile Caelan has each day he comes home. He has learned so much, and grown up so quickly, that it is a shame that he ha to leave. I'm sure if he had his way, he would want to go to Bambi's everyday. Thank you for your care and support, especially through the most difficult times.

I'd like to take a moment to recommend Bambi as a daycare provider. I have known Bambi for eight years and she has taken care of each of my three children from three months through three years when they transferred into preschool. She has been an integral part of their development and I viewed her as a partner with me in helping my children learn and grow. She is a skilled daycare provider who approached her role with true caring and treats each child as if it were hers. She respects each parent's parenting style, which allows parents to collaborate with her on their children's growth. I believe that a good part of my children's success is a result of their time with Bambi. I highly recommend her to any parent considering home daycare.

As a parent, one always wants the best for their child and we found that and much more with Bambi and her home daycare. Our son started as an infant and is just now leaving to start preschool, Bambi provides a warm a safe environment where our son has learned his numbers, colors, animals, etc. He has learned to play well with others and respect those around him. Bambi applies the right style of discipline so all children learn in a caring way to listen to the teacher, set their own boundaries with other children, and have a lot of fun while learning. Meals are nutritious and the environment id kept super clean. Above all Bambi has become like a aunt to me and my family. Her guidance with over 25 years of experience and raising her own 3 children could never be found at another daycare. She is a rare gem, and will remain an extended part of our family for years to come. We are so lucky to have found her. Making the decision to go with her was one of the best decisions we have made for our son and he is a better person for it.
