Where do I begin in my review of the Tot Wrangler program? In my opinion, selecting a child care provider is one of the most important decisions that a parent has to make. I researched numerous facilities in Montgomery County and just never felt that they were 'the one.'
Upon the recommendation of a friend, I was told about Tot Wrangler. When I had my first interview with Mrs. Palkin, I came armed with a long list of questions, and yes- concerns. I could immediately tell that she was both honest and professional. She never rushed me or made me feel that my questions were stupid which other providers I met with did. She made me feel extremely comfortable, and was able to point to current and previous experiences to support her responses. During the first few days that I dropped my son off at Tot Wrangler, he cried. However, it did not take long until he not only stopped crying, but he looked forward to attending Tot Wrangler.
Without having to ask, she provided me with an update on what my son ate, how long he napped, bio breaks, etc.
Around 13 months, my son began to experience an array of disturbing symptoms. Despite several doctor's visits, no one could pinpoint the cause. Mrs. Palkin was very instrumental in identifying correlations between his symptoms and diet which led to the discovery of a very serious allergy. I firmly believe another provider would not have been as aware of my son's situation. She has gone out of her way to accomodate his allergy, as well of those of other children in her care.
There has not been one day where I have dropped off my son where she has greeted us with nothing less than a smile.
Her love and passion for the development of children is profound. She epitomizes patience, professionalism, and dedication to her craft.
I love that the other family's are also happy and that their children have grown up and developed with my son. Families that have left as a result of military orders have all left in tears. How would they be able to replace the immense amount of care they received at Tot Wrangler? It's not possible.
The curriculum that Tot Wrangler offers is a wonderful blend of exploration, creativity, stimulation, imagination, and yes- fun!
I would highly recommend Tot Wrangler!
