Thankful Thoughts & Testimonials

“Laura is wonderful! She has an amazing home that is full of activities, spaces to play & create. She also has a spacious backyard where she takes the children out to play. I absolutely love that she takes my daughter out in nature everyday, and she cares so much about her development. I brought my daughter here when she was 5 months and she adjusted without any problems. She is always so happy to see Laura and is always so calm when I pick her up at the end of the day. Laura is kind, patient and clearly loves to take care of her children. I’m so grateful that she has affordable rates too. She impressed us so much compared to other home daycares that just felt small, or centers that just had too many kids and were way too expensive…Laura is an angel and we love her. I am so grateful for this daycare. I recommend her to everyone!” Laura is wonderful! She has an amazing home that is full of activities, spaces to play & create.

“I have been using this provider for almost three years. Both of my children have been going since they were three months old. I have been very pleased with the quality of care they are receiving and my children enjoy themselves. In fact, many days I have difficulty talking my daughter into coming home when I pick her up. What I like the most about Ms. Norris is how much she genuinely cares for all the children she works with as well as how excited she is to see them learn and grow. This is evident when you watch her interact with the kids and they feel it. I also like that preschool is provided on site. My daughter is 2 and has learned so much, she has similar vocabulary and knowledge to many 3 & 4 year old I know. Ms. Norris is also been very flexible with her schedule. She has allowed kids to come on Holidays and in extreme weather when parents still have to work. Her rates are also very reasonable.

Dee did an outstanding job watching over and educating my daughter, Danielle. She also was very instrumental into helping Danielle mature into a responsible and career minded 1st Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. I am forever appreciative of Lauretta’s Place and how Dee cares about the children that she cares for!!

Laura is awesome. She is wonderful with children and joy to be around. I have never been in an environment that was as loving and productive as her childcare program. She is affordable and within close proximity to Willow Springs. Her preschool curriculum is a good balance between play and education time and I’m so grateful I found her! She has the best daycare in the Lewis Park neighborhood.
