“My child has attended Wood Horse for ten months as their first daycare center, starting when they were 18 months. I am still thrilled with Cassandra and Emmett's professional skills and engagement in building a stimulating yet kind and comforting daily routine, and especially their experience and skills other handling conflicts and occasions when several children need attention at the same time. I have seen them handle shoving and toy stealing immediately and successfully (few or no tears, clear messaging to offending child that the behavior was not okay because it violated another child's rights, clear communication to offending child that they are still loved) as they outline in the written guidance plan. When I pick up my child, they are happy to see me but basically calm. The children are playing, no one is tired or cranky, the atmosphere is happy. When I drop my child off, there is an adult lap to plop down in for them to settle in, and either adult-guided play with other children to join or an offer of any book of their choice to be read to them (because Cassandra and Emmett know my child's favorite activity is reading). Generally, all six kids get to plop down in an adult lap to fill up on closeness first thing in the morning, which is wonderful. Activities are well-organized. When turns have to be taken (to wash hands before meals, to paint at the easel, etc), how the turns will be taken is clear and each child's fair turn is protected while comfort and alternate activities offered children struggling with waiting or to avoid "waiters" getting too focused on wanting their turn immediately. In addition, Cassandra and Emmett generously offer their entertainment skills to the children - singing, guitar playing, nose flute playing, mouth harp playing, marionettes, drawing with sidewalk chalk, and probably more I haven't happened to walk in on or hear about. They cook for them from scratch every day. A little community has sprung up around Wood Horse, and Cassandra and Emmett are invited to the children's birthday parties and sometimes parents', too. Last time, Cassandra and Emmett arrived after all the children had, and Cassandra was greeted by a sequence of hugging children when she sat down on the floor. The children often alternate between us parents and Cassandra and/or Emmett as they play at the parties. Wood Horse is a very special place to leave your child in warm and competent hands!”
