Here are what some of Our Wonderful Families have to say about Our Daycare.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of our daughter ...

She has grown so much at As I Grow Daycare. We feel lucky that she had you both at such an importantdevelopmental time of her life. In the time that she was with you, she learned so many wonderful things! She loved singing songs, learning to recognize her letters and the letter sounds, coloring, doing yoga, taking walks, reading books, and learning how to share and be kind to her friends. In addition, the amout of time that you engaged in meaningful converations with her on a daily basis in both English and Spanish has helped her demonstrate advanced verbal skills for a three year old.

As with our first daughter, Caly, (who atteded As I Grow Daycare five years ago). People are always impressed with Quinn's advanced skills, both academically and socially. We would love to take all the credit for this, however, we are quite certain we owe that to you! You have given both or our girls such a strong foundation for learning and most importantly, for loving to learn!

As Quinn moves on to further her development and education, we are eternally freateul to all of you at As I Grow Daycare for caring for her so lovingly and safely. We never had ato worry about her for a moment when she was with you. None of us will ever forget you. Our girls will be coming to visit you for many, many years to come. And if ever by some miracle we have a third child, we will be calling you to reserve a spot!

Sincerely,


Clay and Kady

Thank You for Welcoming us into your Extended Family ....

Thank you so much for welcoming us into your extended family! You have provided the most caring, loving and nurturing atmosphere for my children, Natalie and Harrison- for over 5 years! They have both learned so much and had wonderful times playing, creating beautiful artwork and exploring outdoors. You have provided a positive daily experience for my children and for that I will always be greateful. You are irreplaceable.

It is so rare to find a caring, dependable (and clean!) child care provider that values each child as their own. Thank you for greeting my children everyday with a smile and a big hug. Natalie and Harrison always looked forward to seeing you each day. Natalie still tells me today that she wishes she could stay with you raher than go to grade school! The impact your family has had on us has been wonderful and immeasurable, I honestly don't know what we would have done without you both. There is no other place like As I Grow Daycare! I have and will continue to recommend you because you are truly the best.

With Warmest Regards and Lots of Love,

Nicole and Steve

It has been the Perfect Cozy Daycare for Him...

I just wanted to let you know how happy we have been bringing Wesley to "As I Grow Daycare". It has been the perfect cozy daycare for him. My feelings have been my baromoeter and I have always felt good about dropping him off to you in the morning to what I knwe was warm, loving. safe & nurturing environment. My other barometer is non other than little Wesley himself--and well, you know--he is happy smiley kid who is curious and wants to have fun! He was always happy and joyful to come and speaks of "Elvie" , "Joel" and "Elvie and Joel" at home and when we pass the corner of Ventura & Canoga in the car. When we read "Brown Bear" at night before bedtime, he says "Teacher like Elvie". He also speaks of the other children and has made some nice friends. Wesley is a happy, unrestrained child and likes to have fun and I credit your care and the environment you have created in part to his pleasant disposition. If I hadn't found you, it could have been different, and he might not be as cheerful as he is.

I also appreciate the variety of activities you have for the children, I think the morning walks are fantastic and not many places would take the trouble to get a dozen little ones out the way you do. I love the artwork that he brings home and know he has had fun dabling with paint and sparkly stuff. You make the holidays and special times fun for the kids and they learn the joy of celebration. Most of all, your big hugs have shown him love & affectionand have mde him feel secure, and of course, he will pass that on to others. In a nutshell, you have been wonderful and a blessing an not a day has gone by where we have not been in great appreciation for your loving daycare. "Hats Off" to you with all your thoughtfullness & Kindness!

All our Love,

Victoria and Max

P.S. please feel free to have prospective parents contact us if they want a reference.

You have made so many special memories with me ....

Dear Joel & Elvie

When I first came to As I Grow, it was a little scary .... I had not yet learned to walk on my own, nor talk much. My Mommy & Daddy were feeling nervous leaving me too. Although they felt the up most confidence that I was in the best of hands with the both of you and would undoubtedly be receiving an enourmous amount of love and attention.

With your encourgement and guidance, over flowing love and support, with in a few months I was walking & off to the races with all the other kids. I soon made new friends and looked forward to coming to your home each day to learn and play. (And of course eat the yummiest food cooked by Joel!!! Muy Delicioso!)

During my three years at As I Grow, I have achieved many milestones and accomplished things I thougt I never could do, thanks to you both. You have helped me develop into the big boy I am growing up to be, and words cannot express my gratitude.

As I leave As I Grow, I know this is not goodbye... I will be back to visit!!!! (Please let me know when your Gardenia flowers grow so I can pick some for my Mommy :)

We are family, and you have made so many special memories with me, my Mommy, Daddy & Brother, that we will never forget.

Thank you for taking such good care of me, teaching me, playing with me, encouraging me and loving me.

I truly am lucky and blessed to have you in my life! :)

Hugs and Kisses form the Schmidt Family

You have become such an important part of our lives...

Dear Elvie and Joel:

Just a note to tell you how hapy we are that we have had Bryce in your care for the past two years. You have become such an important part of our lives. Bryce has grown in ways unimaginable and we know its due in part to your loving, narturing, and constant affections for him. He is such a happy and well-adjusted boy! He loves his friends that have been with you for a long time. It's a wonderful community that you provide for us everyday and we are more than grateful. We honor the responsibilies that you have instilled in him at such an early age. He loves to play cleanup and enjoys books, coloring, trains, music, basketball, and the other children so much. You also provide toys and interactions appropriate for his age. We love the creativity of the blocks, circle time, play kitchen area, race car area, outside play and dress-up times. Friday freeze dance is also a highlight along with the daily walks. The cleanliness and home cooked measl are delightful. 

When we pick up Bryce, our older son runs to the door to greet Bryce to find all the children laughing and playing and enjoying life.. even at the end of a long day! Our older son joins in the fun and he really loves it! Bryce has been with you for so many milestones. When he took his first steps in your care, you were right there filming it and burning it on a disc so we could capture the memory forever. We love the pictures and special thoughtful things you do and say. As if this isn't enough, we are so proud of Bryce holding a pencil correctly at such an early age and really trying to express himself through words- his most recent milestones! This letter can't possibly sharewhat you mean to us, but we do want you to know that you are a part of our family.

Please feel free to use us as as reference.

You deserve wonderful children in your care and anything we can do to help you continue to be successful, we will.

Thank you! 

Love the Eddys

A Positive and Wonderful Experience ...

Our Experience with As I Grow Daycare has been positive and wonderful. Our son was 5 1/2 months old and as first time parents we wanted to make sure to find someone just perfect for him. It was important that he was in a safe and loving environment that we could trust and feel good about the time he would be spending there.

We were lucky that a friend referred us to Elvie and Joel and after meeting them and seeing the daycare, we know we made the best choice for him and for us. They have been so very loving and caring about him, it was like having our child spending time with family that we like. We could see how much fun he had participating in the activities, learning, and establishing close relationships with everyone there.

As result of the experience our son has had at As I Grow Daycare, we can see how secure and responsive he is with other children and people. It has been a very positive experience for him and as anxious parents, it turned out to be very positive for us too.

His experience will last a lifetime ...

To As I Grow Daycare

Charles and I wanted to express how happy we are to have had our son in your care. Since he attended your daycare, I would say that he has changed dramatically and his personality came out immensely. We noticed that he has such a happy spirit and he loves to play and entertain the other kids.

The environment is very clean, safe and there is so much care and attention given to every child at the center.

Thank you fof the experiences you have given him, I know they will last a lifetime.

We will miss you after we move to Atlanta but we wish you all the best!

Sincerely,

The Douglas Family

Consistent Cleanliness and Academic Performance ....

It gives me immense pleasure in recommending Elvie and Joel's As I Grow Daycare to everyone.

My husband and I began bringing our son, at the age of eight months. They have shown a great deal of love and care four days a week, for the last year-and-a-half.

I wish to place on record, the consistent cleanliness and brilliant academic performance that As I Grow Daycare has shown. This service alone is very pleasing and reassuring to our family.

Our son's performance overall aptitude and learning skills are showing everyday. He is more inquisitive and confident, basically a happy toddler when he comes back from school, as he calls it.

I will recommend As I Grow Daycare to friends and family in the years to come. We plan on having another child in the near future and we will be coming back.

Warmest Regards

Eric and Amy

They are incredible with the kids ....

I am impressed! I just moved here and was VERY hesitant about putting my child in a home-daycare, but I was very impressed by this husband-wife run daycare. They are incredible with the kids! My one-year old LOVES it there....2 meals a day, plus snacks provided, which makes it REALLY easy on parents. They have a really great program, I would recommend to anyone!

Ensures a Safe and Loving Environment ....

Our 3 year old twin boys have been attending school at As I Grow Daycare for over a year and a half and have loved the school. The school has a wonderful program and ensures a safe and loving environment. One-on- one attention is given and the students learn many important life lessons every day. We're so glad our children have had the experiences they've had at this school. We feel very confident that it's one of the best daycare centers available.

The wonderfully fun and nurturing husband and wife duo that run it ....

I cannot say enough positive things about this daycare. Elvie and Joel, the wonderfully fun and nurturing husband and wife duo that run it, along with their helper make all the children feel safe and loved. Often my son is so happily engaged with his daycare friends, I have to pry him away to come home!!!
