From the moment I met Ruth, I knew she would be our daycare provider. She has such a kind and warm way about her. This is our first child, and I was having an extremely difficult time with the idea of putting our baby in daycare when she was just a newborn so I could work. But from the first day, Ruth absolutely put my mind at ease. She really loves children, and they love her back! Our daughter always gives Ruth the biggest smiles when we drop her off, you can just tell she adores her. We have also noticed she is continually picking up new skills from being in daycare. I know that she is getting the play and interaction she needs to grow and develop into a healthy child. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful person to take care of our daughter!

Ruth is a true blessing to our family. She has a special gift with children, and cares for them as if they were her own. You can feel the love and warmth the second you walk into her home, and I have total peace of mind knowing my son is receiving the best care every day-I am so grateful that he can grow up in a healthy and fulfilling environment. Ruth will be a big part of our lives for years to come. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking exceptional childcare.

Ms.Ruth!! What can I say? From the minute we visited this daycare, we knew that this would be where our son would be going to spend his days. My son has been going to Ms.Ruth's daycare since December and my family and I can see the tremendous growth in such a short amount of time. Every day we are seeing and hearing something new in/from him. Everything that Ms.Ruth said she would do, she has and if she has not, I'm certain that she will! This daycare is family-centered, safe, educational, clean and everything you could look for in a daycare! Thank you Ms.Ruth and Jackie for all that you do!

We love Ruth! You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and absolutely adores the kids. It's never easy going back to work and leaving your child with someone else, but I felt 100% comfortable and confident with Ruth.

Ms. Ruth has been such an amazing provider for my baby boy, and it's breaking my heart that my son will be attending a new daycare soon. My son loves her and I have seen major improvement in his social and motor skills since being in her care! She is extremely attentive and very sweet and her establishment is absolutely adorable! I would recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and nurturing childcare. We will miss her so much!

Ruth was literally an angel sent to me and my family. My son (2.5 yrs) has been home with me since birth. His social skills were lacking and his social anxiety was becoming a really big problem and only getting worse. I was terrified to take him to a commercial daycare center. I am so thankful I found Ruth. It didn't even take my son two weeks to adjust and he is a completely different child now. My child still won't go happily and easily to my own family but he goes so happily to Ruth every morning and is so happy when I come to pick him up each day. For the first time ever, I don't worry when I leave my son. Ruth is a natural with kids. I am so thankful for her. It is because of her that my son is thriving!

Words cannot express the experience my child has here. First day in she saw her new freinds and didn't even say bye to me! Ruth really takes care of the children and they love her, my child is a picky eater and she made sure she was always taken care of. I will and am always grateful for making us feel welcome in her home ! She does dance class and drawing and play time it's really wonderful!

One word Amazing, my son was lacking in his social skills. His behavior changed drastically being in such a great environment. He's always eager to go as well as my older son. She's great loving an caring. You can't go wrong with sending your child here.

Ruth's daycare has been the best choice by far for me and my son. He's only been going for a short while and he absolutely loves it! He gets so excited to see Ruth and his friends there and really enjoys playing and learning with them. I would definitely recommend her daycare to any friends or family looking in the area. When it comes to the me and my husband she has been very accommodating to our schedules!

Ruth has been amazing with our little one. The previous commercial daycare he went too had so many problems with my son that I thought I was at a dead end in solutions. I was so lucky to find Ruth who when my son went immediately was welcomed and haven't had the problems he was having at the commercial daycare. He has been thriving since going to Ruth we truly are so thankful.

Best daycare by far! Ruth helps the kids flourish and truly cares about their wellbeing. My granddaughter who is now three, has been going there since she was a baby.

My daughter started going here when she was around 6 weeks old. She is now going on 2. Although I didn't want to go back to work, my mind was at ease because of how loving Ruth was with my daughter. We went away for a while and I know my daughter missed her. In the morning, I asked if she wanted to see Ms. Ruth and she said "thank you." Now, almost every morning she is trying to but her clothes on to say "bye bye" because she wants to go to Ms. Ruth's. I am forever grateful for Ruth for helping me in this hard process of motherhood. I highly recommend her and do not look forward to when my daughter has to leave. I am forever grateful....

Ruth is a phenomenal daycare provider. She is professional and she goes above and beyond expectations for every child she provides for in her daycare facility. For my daughter, she knows her three dimensional spatial visualization of shapes, alphabets, colors, and interacts well with other children at the center. I have seen a dramatic increase in my daughter's social and cognitive skills since enrolling at Ruth's daycare center. Thank you for all that you do for me and my family.

I am so grateful that my husband and I found Ms. Ruth and are able to bring our son to her. My son started going to Ms. Ruth earlier this year and we have seen so much growth in our son. He comes home telling us names of his friends and sometimes does not want to leave the daycare. Everyone is very welcoming with open arms. We can tel that our son is learning so much with Ms. Ruth! With my son being here I know my son is in loving and caring arms.

Our son has been having a blast with Ruth for almost 2 years now and we couldn't have found a better in-home daycare for him to grow and make friends. Our latest addition will be joining him this fall and we look forward to them both making more memories.

From my first initial visit with Ms. Ruth, I knew that this was the daycare we wanted our daughter to attend. I called her on the phone and she invited me over the same day. Ms. Ruth is extremely warm and you can tell that she loves what she does. She works really well with the children and my daughter took a liken to her despite it being her first daycare experience. We would definitely recommend Ms. Ruth's daycare to anyone looking for an intimate and safe learning environment for their child(ren).

I can't speak any more highly of Ruth, she is the best!!! Our daughter has been attending since she was 12 weeks old and as a second time mom with this being the first time having to use a daycare, I couldn't be more happy with my choice. Ruth really does treat all the kids as her very own and nothing is more comforting than knowing your child is in great hands!!!

Ruth is great! Our daughter is almost 1 years old now and started going to her daycare around 6 weeks old. I am so glad we have her, she does a great job. We feel so happy and safe leaving our baby with her. I also work in the daycare industry, but choose her home daycare over any others. She loves her daycare kids, they always seem to be happy, playing and learning. We hope to stay with her for a very long time!

My daughter has been with Ruth since she was 3 months old and I love this daycare!! Ruth loves your child as if they are her own. As a first time mom I was almost in tears when I had to go back to work but Ruth assured me my daughter would be fine and that I could call as much as I wanted to check in on her! I would recommend this daycare to anyone that likes a more intimate environment for their child. Exceptional care is what you and your child receives with Mrs. Ruth!!

As a single and first time mother, it is hard to be able to find someone that you can trust in the care of your child. My son it's been going to Ruth's daycare for two years now and all I can say is that I can go to work with a peace of mind because he is very well taken care of, Ruth love my son like is one of hers and he does love her too. The communication is exceptional and whenever there is a concern she is always available to answer any question. I will be forever grateful with her.

As any parent enrolling your child in a home daycare is always skeptical, but if your looking for a good reliable trustworthy care provider Mrs. Ruth is where you should enroll your child(ren). My 2 year old has been going here since she was a little over 6 weeks old and we've had nothing but an amazing experience. My daughter loves going here, from the staff, children and even parents everyone is beyond friendly. My daughter has learned her numbers, colors, shapes, animals, and can even have a entire conversation. She's currently potty training and is doing expectionally well. I would highly recommend enrolling your child here at Ruth Mini Home Daycare. She's always available to answer any of my questions or concerns, and my expectations have well been met since the day my daughter arrived in this daycare.

Ruth's Mini Home Daycare has been a wonderful childcare provider for my daughter. She has had her since she was about 8 months and she will be 4 in a few days. I have never had any issues with her or her staff. They are dependable and professional at all times while providing exceptional care for my daughter. I would recommend her services to anyone needing good childcare!

Ruth has been wonderful from day 1. She has taken care of my now 2 year old son full time and provided before/aftercare for my older school aged boys as needed. She provides all meals, activities for the kids, and cares for my children as if they were her own. She and her assistant are wonderful. They are dependable and reliable. I highly recommend Ruth and this daycare.

Our son Isaac has been going to Ms. Ruth since he was 12 months old and we are extremely happy and satisfied with the attention, care, and education she has provided to our son!! Ms. Ruth and her assistant Alma are very patient and kind with all of the children and we know we can rest assured when our son is in her care that he is treated no different then they care and for their own children! Thank you so much!!

We have been sending our two girls to Ruth for almost a full year and WE LOVE HER! My two year old adores the playtime, the learning and all of the other children. She has learned her numbers, letters, colors, and shapes through learning with other children and playtime. Additionally, my six month old started there at about 10 weeks old and already socializes with others very well. Both girls are so happy to be there with Ruth and her AMAZING assistant! They go two days a week and are always excited to be at daycare and is always a struggle getting them to come home because they love it there so much. The best part about Ruth's daycare is that the children are like part of a family, not just a number lost in a sea of a million other kids. I feel as though both of my girls are loved and cared for the way they should be.

My son, Gabriel is 21 months old and has been going to Ruth's since he was 7 months. I can't express enough how blessed we are to have her in our lives. He loves getting ready for "school". She encourages, teaches, disciplines and most of all is genuine. We couldn't ask for a better place for our precious baby!

Ruth is an excellent childcare provider. She has been caring for our two precious children for a year and a half. She has always gone the extra-mile with our children. She taught our children how to say the alphabet, count, recognize their letters, numbers, and colors. Additionally, she potty trained both our kids and has been a tremendous blessing to our family.
