Excerpts from Parent Letters

Sully Station Children's Center

"I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how happy I am with Sully Station II infant team. With the arrival of my first baby I was so nervous to even think about leaving Allyson with total strangers 8 hours a day. My neighbor Apryl Viale who works for you, I believe at the Gainesville location recommended me to Sully Station II. Upon arrival Allyson and I were greeted by Manager Chelece and Director Meredith with excitement and with a lot of love. We tried out the center for 5 days and I am completely confident that Allyson is receiving all the love and attention she needs to be a happy and healthy 4 month old. Ms. Dominique, Flora, Aracely and Cathy are fantastic! What I love most about the staff is that they are all Mommies themselves and understand that they are helping to develop the most precious gift any of us will ever have in our lives. Thank you for the amazing job you and your staff are doing in making a difference in the life of a child."

Sully Station Children's Center

I wanted to thank you and your Sully Station Children's Center teams for giving my children, Thomas and Mackenzie, the opportunity to experience a truly wonderful summer camp program.  The staff at SSCC is fantastic!  From the manager, Ms. Chelece, to the Directors, (Ms. Crystal and Ms. Keisha), and the teachers (Ms. Jean, Ms. Brittany, Ms. Molly, Mr. Sean and Mr. Mike), everyone made our summer one to remember.

Please extend my sincere gratitude to the staff and let them know my children and I are looking forward to next summer!"

Sully Station Children's Center

"As a first time parent, my husband and I had a checklist for the perfect childcare setting for our infant daughter. The center would be reliable, flexible with hours, affordable and most important of all offer a safe environment that provided our daughter the ability to grow and learn. We found all of these things and more when we brought her to Sully Station. The teachers and staff at Sully are friendly and always have a smile on their face. The hours of operation of the facility fit the needs of our family's demanding schedule: the center is even open on holidays when many other childcare facilities are closed. The price is still the best in the local area and it is convenient to our home. The best part about bringing our child to Sully is the peace of mind knowing that she is in a safe learning environment, in which the teachers and staff take care of our daughter, as if she was their own!"

Gainesville Children's Center

"We would like to take a few minutes to express our deepest appreciation for the love and care that Christine Hunter and your Gainesville facility provides for our children every day.  We have been with GVCC for a year now and can not imagine having our children cared for at any other center.  The staff are kind and courteous and love each and everyone of the children that attend, but of course you know this already! :-)  I wanted to give you a little background on our family so you know just how thankful we are.  We have three children, 2 1/2 (Eva), 7 (Naia) and 10 (Ahja).  My husband and I work for the government and have extremely difficult schedules (which your facility graciously accommodates).  Eva has been fighting various health issues since birth, the major being an immune deficiency disorder.  Unfortunately we have had no other choice than to put her in daycare due to our demanding jobs.  In the past year she has been hospitalized 5 times and has consistently stayed on antibiotics and steroids.  Through all of this, she is still a very energetic and loving child and has taken to all of the staff at GVCC, especially Ms. Elsa, who treats Eva like her own grandchild.  When Eva was hospitalized, Ms. Elsa would visit and bring love, kisses and even a SpongeBob gift from GVCC!  (Our other two daughters get the same amount of love from everyone there as well, I just wanted to emphasize how the staff goes out of there way for little Eva and our family and how grateful we are for that.)  Then we have your amazing director, Christine, who has always made us feel comfortable and assured us that Eva was getting the best care at all times.  We can't imagine any other director running your GVCC facility than Christine.  She is a wonderful asset to your company and shines brightly through her kindness and sincerity.  She genuinely cares for every one of the children and families that walk through the doors.  We hear horrible stories from my coworkers and friends of the directors/staff at their daycares (a Minnieland in Fredericksburg mentioned recently to us) and with each story, all we can do is smile and thank our lucky stars that we have Christine and GVCC! :-)   We're not sure how often, if ever, you receive emails like this, but our purpose was to let you know on a personal level, how much our family appreciates Christine, Elsa and the GVCC staff and how grateful we are to have you in our life!"

McNair Farms Children's Center

"We have had a wonderful experience here (at McNair Farms). My Daughter was given a wonderful opportunity to grow with friends. The front desk staff & special teachers are terrific!"

Germantown Children's Center

"Thank you for making our sons first experience at GCC the most fabulous beginning ever. He adores each and every one of you! We feel so comfortable knowing that he is well cared for, safe, and loved everyday. The proof of his comfort is that when we come to pick him up at 4pm, we rarely leave the center before 5pm. You are truly a dedicated group of teachers who always put the children first. We love looking through the window and watching the learning progress. Our sons interest in learning and experiencing new things continues to expand since he started at GCC in August. For this and so much more, we thank you! On the ride home he is eager to share his fun filled day. He begins with breakfast, moves on to circle time, art projects, show and tell, baking, the playground, stories, songs, more stories (which he loves), and so much more! We are so impressed with the developmentally appropriate program he receives."

Ashburn Children's Center

"I am writing to thank all of the "other mothers" at Ashburn Children's Center, and "other fathers", or perhaps "other parents" I should say, because that is what you are. Each member of your staff is playing a big part in the raising of my children, all of our children here-not something I take lightly, and although I run in and out each day, busy on my way with my own life, not something unnoticed or unappreciated. Every member of your staff is helping to mold my children, helping them learn and grow, teaching them to be healthy, to become good neighbors, and patient playmates, helping them to have fun, and to discover themselves as they go. This is no small undertaking-critical business in my book, and you are excelling at it by what I have experienced so far. There is much love and respect at ACC; warm, caring teachers and aids, directors and Cliff! Thank each of you for sharing yourself and your wonderful qualities each day with my children, and so with me as well. It may not be mentioned every day, but it is noticed and I am grateful for your work. I am sure every parent here feels this way; we just don't always take the time to express it. Thank you for all you do, every day."

Sully Station Children's Center

"Our family joined your family in June 2004. From the beginning we've been impressed with the team member's dedication to the center's children. Most importantly, and the value closest to our hearts, is the loving care given to our children. We have experienced continued professionalism and childcare knowledge with all members of your staff regardless of their position within the center. Clearly you are employing individuals with a true desire to share their lives with children- it shows in their enthusiasm. My youngest child, in 3A enjoys the activities in the room and is learning something new every day. Their (the teachers) level of enthusiasm shows and I believe the children thrive as a result! My school age daughter attends the Sully Station after school program. She sings high praises for (her teachers) in the Before/After School program. I know she's having a great time with them-she's always filled with stories about the fun things she did. When you're seven years old it's all about having fun! As a parent I'd like to thank you for putting together such a solid group of individuals to care for children."

Kentland's Children's Center

"From early learning activities to creative arts to outdoor play and special celebrations, KCC's commitment to providing a safe and nurturing atmosphere that puts children first is the key to satisfying our childcare objectives. While we initially considered KCC for it's nearby location (we live in Kentland's), I can honestly say that I would commute from further away to keep my children in this wonderful program. Our daughter has thrived in the KCC environment-her social skills have improved, she has learned to spell her name, her creativity is encouraged and she even counts in Spanish! KCC's team approach ensured our daughters seamless transition from Group 1 to Group 2 as she got older and we've also appreciated KCC's partnership as we've tackled potty training. It is worth noting that KCC provides plenty of opportunities for parent participation and involvement through activities and special events and through open and regular communication (including daily reports on activities!) The teachers are consistently warm, loving, enthusiastic, well-trained, creative and inspired. The office staff is friendly, helpful, and professional. In particular, the Director really seems to care about each of the children and Kentland's families. And last but not least, the cook is fantastic! The facility itself is clean, well-organized, and secure and the hours of operation are very generous, a must for working parents with long commutes!"

Kentland's Children's Center

"We have enjoyed our time at KCC.  We would like to thank Ms. Amanda and the whole team for making our daughter's time there one to remember.  She always comes home talking about things she did and things she learned.  We know she will miss this school." 

Fair Lakes Children's Center

"We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the care that you've given our son this past year and a half. Because of you, his academic and social skills have been greatly enhanced. He has learned to express himself better through verbal communication and he's learning the importance of sharing. Thank you for allowing him to openly express himself and to be creative. We've been so blessed to have such a wonderful staff take care of our son in our absence. "All that is worth cherishing begins in the heart." Thank you for loving, teaching, and caring about our son!"

Fair Lakes Children's Center

"We wanted to thank all of you-teachers, administrative staff, and of course-the chef, for the wonderful support and caring environment you have provided over these past years. Initially, it was a big step and adjustment for our daughter, moving from an in-home provider with only 3-4 children to a big center. You made this big step a great experience with lots of love and nurturing. Your programs are fun and educational and encourage the children to learn and explore. You care and it shows!"

Olney Children's Center

"My children loved OCC! It is by far the very best child care we've had!"

I wanted to share with you that our son has been reading up a storm and we feel we owe you a thank you for getting him to this level! Thanks for all you do! Watch out for our daughter in a couple years. She turns three this Saturday! We'll be sure to send her your way!"

Reston Day School

"Our son had a wonderful two years at Reston Day School and we cannot thank you enough for making it such a great experience for him! Your staff has always been courteous and professional, and everyone here truly enjoys the children and the job they do. He has really matured under your watchful eyes. Thank you for everything you do! Keep up the great work!"
