Parent Testimonials

• Don’t hear from us only •

Carmon & Jawarski P.

“I found out about We Care through a friend at work and I will be forever grateful to her for recommending We Care. During my kids time at We Care they have learned and grown so much. The staff really cares about your child and treats him/her as one of their own. I am kept well informed about anything going on at We Care. I especially like how I can look on the Class Dojo App and see daily pictures of my children, their class and what activities they are doing that day. If I ever have any questions about anything the owner of We Care, Alana, is easy to get in touch with and always responds back quickly to my messages. I would definitely recommend We Care and I will never take my children anywhere else. They are always in a great mood when I pick them up in the evenings! We love We Care!!!"

Her goal to create a childcare business was two pronged: Firstly, she wanted to offer a loving, safe educational experience for her own children and children in the community in a place where children can grow and excel and secondly she wanted to grow her knowledge of how children learn and develop and how the childcare experience contributes to child and family wellness.
