We would highly recommend Ms. Arlene and Mr. Jim to everyone! Our daughter has gone to them since she was 3 months old and just started Kindergarten. They more than prepared her for her first day. They taught her so much in the 5 years she was there. Not just about how butterflies grow, or how the seasons change, but how to be loving, compassionate and respectful. They taught her how to have fun learning new things and just have fun being a kid. I would highly recommend the Barefoot Family Childcare !!

Miss Arlene and Mr. Jim cared for my two children and quickly became an extension of our family. Their early childhood years in this program helped mold the amazing kids I have today! If you are looking for a nurturing, loving environment with a great Preschool program - this is the place!

Miss Arlene and Mr. Jim run an amazing daycare! I am now 16 and still keep in touch with them because of what amazing people they are and the impact they've made on my life! Every day we got delicious home cooked meals, learned valuable lessons and made memories when we played outside. If you're looking for a caring, welcoming and loving day care for your child, this is definitely the place.

Miss Arlene and Mr. Jim run an amazing day care/preschool. My daughter (who is 11 now, and still talks about her day-care parents) thrived amazingly well with them. Home cooked meals, true academic lessons each day, a great play yard with a vegetable garden are all things that your child will have to look forward to. My daughter was more than prepared for Kindergarten, and she learned so much from Miss Arlene and Mr. Jim. We had visited so many home day cares and this is the only one that I would even consider. Mr. Jim is fastidious about cleanliness, and the home always smelled so clean and disinfected. You cannot go wrong with this provider. She is the BEST.
