Miss Allison! We are so grateful for you! Thank you for making school fun and educational. You have such a kind, patient, and calm presence that makes all your kids gravitate toward you. You can tell they feel safe with you and love being around you. Boone lights up when he sees you. He points out your picture when we leave school and says, "I love Miss Allison." Thank you for being a wonderful teacher to Boone. It is peaceful knowing he is being taken good care of throughout the day, learning new skills, and developing with friends. Thank you for making your classroom an environment where he can thrive!
A heartfelt thank you to the daycare staff for their unwavering commitment to our children’s growth and development. Your kindness, patience, and expertise are invaluable! I want to shout out Miss Brittany, Miss Ambree, Miss Allison, Miss Carol, and Miss Debbie for being so kind every day, and taking such good care of my little one.
Lori has played a huge role in Jackie’s growth from a baby to toddler! It’s clear that she knows each child and appreciates them for who they are. She makes the classroom fun and creative. We’ve felt so lucky to have her in our lives!
We just want to give a giant shoutout to Ms Heaven! She feels like a member of our family, and makes it so much easier leaving Arla at "school". We never ever worry knowing that Arla is in her care and that is priceless for a parent. We just also want to thank all of the smiling faces that we pass in the halls every day who ALWAYS take the time to say hi or bye to our girl! It never goes unnoticed. It's tough being a parent in this day and age, and you guys are our village. Arla loves you!
We greatly appreciate Mr. Michael's dedication, patience, and unwavering support for our little one!. It does not go unnoticed that he handles many challenges working with young children and does so with such grace and positivity. His ability to navigate through their energy and emotions while maintaining a nurturing and encouraging environment is commendable. Also, his creativity and passion for art shine through in everything he does. The way he incorporates art into the classroom not only sparks joy and excitement in our child, but also inspires them to explore their own creativity and imagination!
I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation for all the wonderful work Miss Tammy does, especially in nurturing and educating our little ones. Our daughter, Palmer, continues to blossom under her care and guidance. She is always excited about something she learned or experienced in her class, it warms my heart and reassures me that she's in the best hands. It's evident that she truly care about each child's development and well-being, and that means the world to us as parents. Thank you for being such a positive influence in Palmer's life and for making her pre-K experience so enriching and memorable. We're incredibly grateful to have you as her teacher.
We transitioned from a private sitter to KER and we have had such a positive experience. The center is very clean, bright, and conducive for learning. The best part is the staff. Most of them know my kid’s names and wave to them as we pass by the classrooms. You just get a good vibe when you walk into the center and that is important as a parent. I recommend KER to all our neighbors and friends.
The team at KER takes such good care of our daughter. We feel comfortable and safe putting her in their care every day. They keep us in the loop with all of the happenings of her day and send pictures too!
I am an employee of KER. I was drawn in by the cleanliness of the facility and the upbeat nature of all of the staff. I have been there for five months and have loved every second of it. I even have a child who attends the center, and he is the happiest I have ever seen him! If you’re looking for a fun, professional, caring, and clean environment to bring your child into, KER is the place!
"Good evening! I’ve been meaning to send a note about how truly amazing Miss Mariah is!
As I’m sure you know, it’s so challenging leaving your child at such a young age.
Miss Mariah seamlessly is able to address the needs of all of the children. She provides meaningful updates at the end of each day and is focused on developmental progress for all children. Our kids love Miss Mariah more than us ? She is a perfect fit for taking care of infants and we appreciate her so much!"
“Thank you for providing such an amazing environment to our children and all the hard work you put in each day! We are truly grateful for your patience, kindness, and for teaching our boys many life lessons. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to show our appreciation to you! Micah and I hope you will enjoy the food today. We are always thinking of you as we know that the job can be challenging at time, but your efforts show through our boys.”
"Kids Education & Recreation has been amazing for our children. There is a curriculum for each of them and an app to let us know what/how they are doing throughout the day. Britney and Heather are talented and have so much expertise to lead our kids to greatness. I appreciate the staff and value their commitment and dedication to taking care of our kiddos. We attended a different day care in the past. This one is unmatched. I highly recommend this day care."
