I am the parent of a child with Cerebral Palsy and it was important for me to be able to take care of him myself, this steamed my interest in childcare IN MY HOME, and now my son is 32 and doing great! My daughter 39, and I have continued on providing childcare IN MY HOME for over 29 years. I am dedicated to having parents feel comfortable knowing that we can give them peace of mind while they are at work. I want children to be cared for the way that I would want my child to be cared for. You'll have the scense of a center type daycare in the luxuries of home.

Reviews & References

5 stars

When going to check out Reflections of a Mother Daycare, I immediately got a warm feeling upon walking in. I was greeted warmly, shown around the place and everything explained, without me hardly having to ask a question. My 8 week old son got a little fussy once there, as I started taking him out of the car seat, Ms. Fern asked, "Would you like me to rock him?" THAT was wonderful, so I could see how she was with children and how my son responded to her - I was very pleased. She's devoted the lower level of her home completely to daycare, very child friendly, a calm atmosphere, everything under control. Many activities for the infants and children to do. I was not comfortable leaving my son with anyone until I found Reflections of a Mother Daycare. We've not yet started attending regularly, but I've gone back to visit with my husband and was treated the same way a second time. Ms. Fern understands that it's hard leaving your children with someone else and wants you to feel comfortable there. "Reflections of a Mother" is truly a wonderful name for her daycare. - Michele S.
