Parent Testimonials

What parents are saying about their Family Childcare Provider:

Azra

"My son first started Home Day Care (Family Child Care Connections) when he was about three months and I cried because I felt really guilty for leaving him but my child care provider reassured me that everything would be fine and now my son is almost three years old and I trust Azra with him just like she is a part of my family because she is very caring and loving and I am happy that my child was placed in her home."

Blanche: (Early Head Start)

"A great experience. She is the perfect teacher. I feel she really loves my children and takes good care of him. My son has learned more English and speaks more. I'm very happy with her."

"Her home is safe, yet warm and inviting. We have been impressed by her innovative use of books and music and the integration of age-appropriate art projects. We were also pleased to know how seriously she is about encouraging the children's interest and engagement with the natural world. They go outside almost every day and spend some time experiencing, noticing and naming weather, plants and animals that they see. As parents we are thrilled with the quality, competence, innovation, care and concern that we see demonstrated daily by Beryl as a major care-giver in our daughter's life."

Gina:

"My wife and I were unhappy with the large institutional daycare that we had found for our son. We were looking for a place that was similar to our home, but still had a structure that allowed our son to learn. We visited several of the in home daycares involved in the program and found Gina's house to be fun and full of joy. We knew our son was happy there. He used to cry when we left him at the large day care and within a few days (of being with Gina) he was waving goodbye and smiling. He is now twenty-two months and is using dozens of words and can identify and sound many of the letters of the alphabet. Needless to say, our experience with the Home Day Care Program of Evanston has been great. The combination of warmth of a caring home and the structure of a professional daycare setting was the best choice for us."

Julia:

"I am very happy with Ms. Julia. My children are loved and well taken care of. While I'm at work I'm so at peace, I don't even worry. They learn so many different things at an early age. I recommend her to all my friends and even strangers. I really appreciate and love her and I'm glad we met her."

Kim: (Early Head Start)

"We received the most wonderful childcare provider for our two girls. It is a joy to leave our children in such a loving environment every morning. Each day is a happy day for them at Kim and Willa's home. They have learned so much here and are cared for individually when needed. We couldn't ask for more from our providers. We hope our children meet more people like Kim & Willa throughout their lives. Our children just love their Home Day Care."

Martha:

"Martha is excellent. She is 100% concerned about my child's well being and what is best for him. Martha is well educated and by far the best day care provider that we have had. Our two year old enjoys being with her in her home. He has even picked up some Spanish!!!"

Valentine:

"My son is always excited to go to Valentine's house. He has learned so much from her and he loves the other kids in the group. I hate being away from my kids, but I feel really good knowing my son is in a happy, safe environment. Thank you!"

Zubaira and Mohammad: (Early Head Start)

"At first, I was not a big fan of home day care. But now I love it. Home day care provides a nice family environment for my daughter. I love the fact that she receives personal time with Zubaira and Mohammad. I would suggest to any other parent to try this form of child care."
