We have chosen to send our youngest of 4 boys to Family Day Care. We have had extensive experience with Family Day Care for our older 3 boys and have always found it to be a wonderful and caring environment so it was a no brainer for us to chose to go with Naomi who also came highly recommended from other families around our area when it was time for our youngest to go to Day Care.

Naomi or "Noni" as she is affectionately called by all of the kids and their families is such a bright and bubbly person who you immediately get drawn to. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and you know your child is in safe hands. Our son absolutely loves Noni and enjoys his “Noni days”.

Noni is very observant with all the children and will expand on any of their interests immediately whether it is by finding a song or dance to go with an activity that the kids like or completely re-doing a section of her daycare space to dedicate to that particular activity she always goes above and beyond and tries to accommodate everybody.

From our time with Noni she is always present and in the moment with all of the children that are in her care. Nothing seems to be too hard for her and she genuinely enjoys her time with them. Noni is very understanding of all the little quirks my son and others have thrown her way and embraces all of them as if they were her own children.

We love Noni and consider her to be a part of our family and it makes us sad that our son only has next year left before he goes off to big school and we won’t have an excuse to see Noni 4 days a week.

We highly recommend Noni to any potential parents looking for Family Day Care.

Educator - Bernie

I enjoy working for Connected FDC because of the positive work environment. The support that you have shown not only on professional level but personal during a very difficult time when my mother had passed.

Being a FDC educator to me is so rewarding, I enjoy waking up and "going" to work each day. I have built great relationships with the children and families, helping them to develop and grow into the best little people they can be is truly rewarding.

Educator - Alice

As a family daycare educator, I truly enjoy the opportunity to work closely with families as their children learn and grow. It's rewarding to become an integral part of their support network, sharing in their joys and challenges, and seeing the positive impact we have on their lives. I also take great pride in being part of a highly skilled team of dedicated educators, where we collaborate to provide the best possible care and learning experiences for the children in our care. Together, we make a difference in the lives of these families, which makes my role incredibly fulfilling.
