The atmosphere Krystal has created for her daycare is evident of the time, effort, and care that she puts into what she does. Everything has been carefully thought out. Before having my son at Krystal's I had preconceived notions of home daycare facilities just being a fancy word for babysitter, but what Krystal does is so much more than that and I feel really sets her apart, and her childcare education background, certifications, ratings, reviews, and continued learning all just reinforce that. My son struggled with delayed speech and through her efforts and constant encouragement of "use your words" I watched him get better and better. I also attribute his potty training in large part to her as well through her reinforcement and him being in an environment where he knew other "big boys" his age used the potty which encouraged him. When my son was excited to go in the morning it made me feel good as a parent knowing that I had made the right choice for his care. It's the little things too like when I'd get surprised with photos texted to me of him having fun while I was at work which madee me feel like I was still connected though I was away. Myself personally I'm very anti-mess so was also anti-play doh, slime, sand, finger painting, etc., but he got to do all these things there because she is a firm believer in letting kids be kids, being explorative, and just that these things had benefits like enriching their senses due to their different textures and that they assist with fine motor skills etc., things I never thought of because I just saw them as messy things. By the way he didn't just get handed play-doh, she guided him through an experiment in making his own. My son developed a love of puzzles there too. Did I mention that mind numbing TV and electronics are not present in the daycare space!? I thought this was wonderful because who wants their kids to be babysat by a t.v.? As far as safety, aside from the childproofing and her training and certifications which on their own would be enough, her spouse and very nearby close friends are law enforcement and medical professionals, which just gave me an extra safe sense of security and peace of mind. It's in a great neighborhood too. I really can't say enough great things about our experience with Krystal and the care she provides.
