I truly cannot recommend Kim’s Family Child Care enough. My 20 month old son has been at Kim and Ralph’s since he was 3 months old, and I cannot imagine better people to care for him while my husband and I are at work. Kim and Ralph are kind and patient, and they care for the kids as if they’re their own. They plan fun, developmentally-appropriate activities each day, tailored to the kids’ interests, and they have a HUGE shaded backyard to play in during the warmer months. They’re also great communicators. Kim always let me know how my son did during the day, and, when asked, she gives great advice about managing the many baby and toddler transitions(e.g., starting solids, sleeping issues, discipline). My son absolutely LOVES it there, and he’s rarely ready to leave when I pick him up at the end of the day. In fact, he talks about Kim and Ralph and his daycare friends all weekend long. We don’t have family in the area, but Kim and Ralph have become like our extended family. I truly don’t know what we’d do without them, and I highly, highly recommend them.
