The other commenter could not be more off base. I would tell anyone to LEAP at the opportunity to work with Stephanie. My toddler daughter was with her for about 2.5 years, and my infant son joined for 1+ year once he came along. We had used a daycare center before Stephanie and went with her mainly as a way to save money compared to the center. There were so many more benefits that we did not anticipate. Stephanie gave our kids individualized attention, LOVE, socialization, and learning opportunities. Almost everyday my kids brought home something they had colored, painted, decorated, built, or collected. They told us what they did at the "rainbow" park, the "blue" park, the library, on a walk, or in Stephanie's backyard, living room, and basement play areas. They ate well, and they napped every day. Stephanie fostered their friendships with little buddies their age. And they looked forward to playing with the older kids who were there before and after school (including Stephanie's and Alison's kids who my kids still talk about daily). My son and daughter even had 2 best friends who were dogs, who did not stink up Stephanie's house which she kept clean, and who I think we were fortunate to have around since my kids otherwise were not around pets. Stephanie was DEPENDENDABLE and never provided us short notice on her time off. I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie and the smooth operation that she runs given her years of experience and natural talent.
