Testimonials

My 2 year old daughter has spent 1 day a week with Michelle since February 2008 and this increased to 2 days a week in April, then full time from May. From what would be considered a "normal" bedding in period of a few days where we had some protests when we dropped her off, this has quickly passed and now sometimes the protests come when I try to take her home! Even on weekends my daughter often asks if we can "go and see Michelle today?"

Many things have impressed me about Michelle and her daycare, the most important of which was how Michelle engaged with my daughter right from the outset, got down on her level and started to play with her. She is always happy and welcoming and I genuinely feel like she treats my daughter as well as she treats her own children.This is in contrast to other childcare providers that I met with who would talk to me and pay little regard to my daughter. With them I believed this was just a job to them, whereas with Michelle I feel that she genuinely loves the kids and enjoys having them in her home. In terms of taking hassle and worry out of my working day, nothing could be better than that.

Other things include the fact that Michelle's home is always spotless (I don't know when she has the time...), she has an abundance of toys, books, games, an outside play space with outdoor toys, and she doesn't just "babysit", but looks to give the kids a varied and interesting and educational day. She also has "proper" sleeping facilities which was equally reassuring to me.

In short, I feel extremely lucky to have found Michelle and got a spot at her daycare which is also quite near my home. It has made my transition back into full-time working much smoother than I ever expected.

I have known Michelle Lee for 4 months, in which she has provided daycare services for my son Tyson.

She has proven to be reliable, loyal and conscientious provider for my son. She is very hands-on, and provides educational stimulation for the children.

I have no problem dropping Tyson off in the morning.She welcomes him with open arms, and is very loving towards him. He loves going to see her, and she says her name as soon as we pull into the driveway.This makes it a lot easier on myself as a parent, knowing that I am leaving my child with someone else during the days that I work.

I am very pleased with her services to date.I would be very happy to recommend her to anyone requiring daycare services.

In February of this year I met Michelle with my daughter Ella when looking for a childcare provider. I knew right away that the Lee home was the kind of place I would like Ella to be. Michelle & her husband made us feel so welcome & my daughter loved all the different toys and activities.

Ella has now been in Michelle's care for almost 2 months and I never worry. Ella is excited to be there as soon as she walks in the door and when I pick her up she sometimes doesn't want to leave.At supper when we ask her what her favorite part of the day was,it's always "going to Michelle's". It such a good feeling to know that our daughter is getting healthy snacks and lunches, lots of different kinds of play, wonderful care and lots of love.

We are thrilled that Ella is in such a good care and would recommend "Tiny Tots Playhouse" to any parent.

Our son Kai, who has just turned 3 years old, has been in Michelle Lee's care at Tiny Tots Playhouse since July of 2008, when he was 20 mos old. After experiencing some challenges with separation anxiety at another home daycare for several visits, we came upon Tiny Tots to give it another good try. Michelle and her family opened their doors and their arms to Kai, and with much heart and patience, the day finally came when I picked him up and he hadn't cried at all. That day, Michelle and I were excited beyond belief, even giving each other hi-fives for a job well done.

Now kai darts into the play area,where there is an inviting world of books,activities and toys, which is always spotless and well kept. Michelle even prepares activity sheets for him to bring home to prep him for preschool. The look on Kai's face when he shows me his handmade art and projects is priceless. Many times,Kai doesn't even want to leave Tiny Tots to go home!

In our busy lives, we take comfort in knowing that Michelle and her family will always take care of our child like a member of their own family. She has a very hands-on approach, and encourages all the children to grow at their own pace. Michelle is always full of smiles and positive spirit, and Kai has thrived in her care. To parents who want only the best for their children, this is priceless, and there is no doubt that this is due to the genuine love of children, effort and undying dedication that Michelle puts towards her home daycare.We are proud to be part of Tiny Tots Playhouse Family Childcare.
