I have known Donna Scott for over three years and she cared for my daughter from the age of 1 to 4.
We met when my husband and I were interviewing childcare workers for our daughter. Donna seemed very confident, caring and explained to us in detail how she ran her daycare. We liked her, hired her and Donna watched our daughter until we placed her into pre-school.
We were very happy with the way Donna watched over our daughter and the other children. Obviously, the other parents were also happy because the turnover of children was very low. The children always have fun and seem to be in a great mood when in Donna's care.
Donna is very good at impressing upon the children that they are there to have fun but not at the expense of other children. She promotes sharing and playing together. She really works hard to plan activities that all the children will enjoy regardless of their age.
When she does need to be the disciplinarian, she uses a time out or cooling off method and explains in terms that the child can understand why they are in time out and why what they did was wrong. However, Donna usually gets the children used to her rules very quickly and does not have to discipline often. She also uses a reward system to get the children to clean up, etc.
Donna seems to have a special knack for diagnosing children. Anytime my daughter has gotten sick, Donna has given me her suggestion and she was usually right. This was very helpful to us as new parents.
I would and have highly recommended Donna as a childcare provider to other parents.

Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to ask me any questions. Donna can give you my number.
