Amber B. says "On a scale of 1-5, our family definitely would give Miss Dawn's a 5++++ if that was a thing. Both of my girls attended daycare/preschool at Miss Dawn's. The only reason we left is because they are both in elementary school now. My girls still beg to go there on breaks, so we do drop ins when we can. We really wanted our girls in a home daycare situation, but also wanted them to get the preschool curriculum to be ready to start Kindergarten. Miss Dawn and her staff gave our…

Ashley R. says "Lisa and her entire family were beyond amazing during our time with her. We were very nervous, as most new parents are, about leaving our 3 month old with a stranger, Lisa made us feel like family and took care of our little boy like he was her own. She taught them baby sign language (so so helpful!) and so many other valuable things. My son adores her and her children and we are sad to not be going to her any longer. We cannot recommend her enough!"
