Editor, Gazette-Journal:

My son Caleb attended Grand Kids Child Care in Gloucester, as well as the preschool program. From the very first day, Caleb felt right at home. The staff was always very helpful and courteous. Being a new parent, it was difficult for me to leave Caleb at first. Caleb was so happy and comfortable in school that, after the first week, all my anxieties had subsided and I knew that when I dropped him off in the morning that he would be well provided and cared for.

The daily communication about my son’s performance and behavior was also outstanding. Throughout the year, I saw great progress in my son’s education and social skills. There were often very fun and productive field trips which Caleb was always excited to participate in. I was always comfortable with him participating because Grand Kids was always very prepared and fully equipped and staffed to handle large groups. The cost of his care was very reasonable and was, by far, the best compared to the other centers and programs I looked into. Overall, Caleb is far better prepared for kindergarten having attended Grand Kids.

While I don’t plan on having any more children, you never know what life is going to throw your way. And if I do ever become a father again, I would entrust Grand Kids with my child from their first year until the day they go off to school.
