Testimonials from Parents

Thank you for such a wonderful experience at Duck Pond. You and the teachers will always be near and dear to my heart. . . . . .Your instincts are always right on the mark. Thank you for your guidance and support. - Lori M.

My daughter has been enrolled at Duck Pond for the past three years and I felt fortunate to have found such a special place for [my child]. Entrusting a child care staff with the care of one’s child can be a very daunting and anxiety-producing experience for any parent. However, I can remember walking through Duck Pond the very first day on a tour and happily, many of my fears and anxieties disappeared. I felt a sense of security and comfort as I walked through the center and decided that Duck Pond would be a wonder place for my daughter . . .I would recommend Duck Pond to any parent who is looking for the right balance of play, learning, and personal that this center provides. - Linda H

Thanks to everyone at Duck Pond for all the TLC you gave [our son] during his years there. His transition to school was flawless and we attribute that largely to what he took from Duck Pond. - Shelly C.

It's hard to believe it's already been a year since we left Duck Pond and that [my child] will soon enter 1st grade! I just want you to know that being in the school system now and experiencing other programs for child care that I am more confident than ever of how fortunate we were to be able to have [our daughter] be part of your "family". Your program is simply the best and my daughter is a better child all around (socially, emotionally, academically) for having been a part of it. I knew there was a reason we stayed until we couldn't any longer, and it's funny to me that it's only being on "the other side" now that I have truly come to fully appreciate the quality of your program, the dedication of your staff and the impact you all have had on my child and my view of child care overall. - Rachel F.

I cannot believe it’s already been 5 years! Our daughter was so little when we brought her into Duck Pond . . . . .I have seen her grow into a happy, confident, and very social little girl who loves learning . Duck Pond has been an extended family and we promise to visit whenever we can. Thank you very much for taking care of our ‘baby’ through the years. - Kattie L.

Taking time to listen and love is so important – which you all do so well. Dropping your baby off to someone is so hard, but somehow you made it a lot easier. - Maura P.
