Gingue Family Testimonial:
Our kids are truly thriving at this daycare, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they receive. We started sending our oldest there when he turned one, and now both of our kids attend. They absolutely adore their teachers, and it’s clear that the feeling is mutual. The love and attention the staff show our children mean so much to us. Every morning, our kids are excited to go to school, which speaks volumes about the positive, nurturing environment they’ve created. The daycare also offers so many enriching activities, like creative crafts and exciting field trips, which our kids always look forward to. When our oldest first started, he had the most wonderful preschool teacher who made such an impact on him that he still misses her to this day. That just speaks to how truly amazing this daycare is, and we’re incredibly grateful for all they do!
Brown Family Testimonial:
We cannot write enough good things about our daughter’s experience at ABC & LOL. She’s our first child and for the first five months of her life, she didn’t spend a moment away from us. We were a little nervous about her transition to daycare at first, but it didn’t take long before going to ABC was the highlight of her each and every day. Between the care and support she receives from the staff as well as the opportunity she gets to interact with children her age, we truly believe that she has gained leaps and bounds in her physical and social development by attending ABC. The breakfasts, lunches, and snacks she has received while at daycare have also helped to
provide her with a healthy and balanced diet as we continue to expand her palate.
While we try to stay consistent with drop-off and pick-up times, the staff are extremely flexible if we ever run late or if something comes up in our weekly schedule. Communication has been excellent as well – ABC’s use of the Brightwheel app to update us when our daughter eats, naps, or needs to be changed helps to keep us in the loop with her daily schedule. The pictures we receive of her playing really help to get us through the workday! Above all else though, we have come to appreciate the staff at ABC not only as care providers, but also as members of the community. It’s always a welcome sight to run into ABC staff members at the grocery store or at town events – our daughter was ecstatic to see them at St. J’s annual “Dabble Day”, and they were more than happy to see her as well!
Trudeau Family Testimonial:
As a first time mom, sending my son to daycare when it was time for me to return to work was quite stressful. From the very first tour, to the first drop off, and beyond though ABC & LOL Child Care Center did everything they could to make me comfortable. Their staff care deeply about the children in their care. Even as infants, they engage with the children in thoughtful and unique ways that foster their individual development. From sensory play at a young age to arts and crafts as a toddler to learning colors, numbers, letters, and so much more as a pre-schooler, I have watched my son grow and develop with his time at ABC & LOL Child Care Center. Whether it is a field trip day to a local gymnastics studio or the petting zoo come fair season or just a normal day, my son looks forward to going to daycare. So when it came time for my second son to start daycare, there were no questions or doubts in my mind about sending him to ABC & LOL Child Care Center too.
Weaver Family Testimonial:​
I could not recommend ABC & LOL enough for families looking for care for their child. Our daughter started at just 3 months old and the transition back to work was much easier knowing she was in great care. I always feel involved in her day through the bright wheels app, and appreciate the prompt and clear communication from the staff during the day. The pictures they send make my day! Our daughter just lights up when she enters the infant room and sees her friends and the staff there. They are not only her providers but part of our village in raising her. I can feel the love they have for each of the kids in the room. They are wonderful at teaching her new skills, helping her hit milestones, engaging with her in activities and helping her grow into a confident baby. I appreciate everyone who has a hand in looking after her and I am excited to see her continue to grow through the different classes she will enter.
Forthun Family Testimonial:​
My kiddos have been a part of the ABC family since my oldest was a year old, he is now turning 10. I have three other kiddos that have been welcomed to the ABC family since. My kiddos have been in each of the St. Johnsbury locations. I couldn’t imagine my kids having better care anywhere else. The staff is all so loving and caring. They take the time to know each kiddo and each of their personalities and interests. It’s never been a question on my kiddos centers. The ABC building has been the starting point for each of my kids. The building has always been kept clean and inviting to enter; they work hard to build relationships with kids and make the child feel comfortable and safe being there. My kids have all learned so much from their teachers. The staff, not just the teachers, but the administrative staff and the kitchen staff also take the time to get to know the kiddos and learn about them. Each of my kids have needed different things at each point in their lives and the staff has always helped them through. My youngest struggles with drop offs, she never wants to leave me as she is a mommy’s girl to no end; the staff has learned the best ways to make her feel comfortable and safe for drop offs. When the same child went for her having her ear tubes placed in, multiple staff checked in on her to make sure she was okay.
