My twin girls were with Julie at Learning Through Play from 14 months old (Sept 2014) until they were 3 years old (June 2016), so about two years. We absolutely love Julie, the environment and enrichment she provides, and the loving care she gives to all of her daycare children. We still continue to visit Julie and have the girls stay with her when their preschool is closed.Julie plans several daily activities, arts & crafts, and experiments for the children to promote fun learning and engagement. They came home daily with artwork including learning their letters, counting, gluing, and developing other fine motor skills. Their language development and interest in reading really blossomed under her care.She keeps her house incredibly clean and neat, but still has so many fun toys and art supplies for the kids. She is also constantly adding new items to her house and rotating things around to keep the environment fresh. I was really impressed with her background as a preschool teacher and her dedication to the kids development but also making sure they have a loving, joyful experience. My girls still to this day talk about her all the time and get so excited when were about to go visit her.When it came time for the girls to start potty-training, Julie was really encouraging and helped us by working with them during the day. She never complained about accidents and helped us so much.As a full-time working mom, if my girls couldnt be with me, I was so glad they were with Julie. I looked at several daycare providers when returning to work. Julie was the first one I visited. I knew right away that we would love her, but just to be sure, we still visited other places. Julie and her house and the program she runs was by far the best out there. She is such a warm, friendly person who is easy-going and great with the kids and the parents!
