Testimonials
Marlene was my son’s first day care provider, from the age of 12 months to almost 2 years of age. As a working parent, it’s hard to leave your child in someone else’s care for the first time. Marlene has always been very responsive and attentive to these feelings. She has an open door policy and has always communicated with me throughout the day, no matter how busy she is. Being a member on her social media sites (which are private) gives me peace of mind about how happy my son is throughout the day. Marlene is always posting photos of the kids, along with activities and meals.
Marlene has given my son a head start on organization, listening, sign language, sharing and understanding. Her organized and well-structured program creates the perfect learning environment for children of all ages. The meal plan itself is terrific and offers creative and healthy options that the kids enjoy.
***** is always bringing home crafts and drawings, learning about everything from Earth Day to Dinosaurs. Marlene’s creativity truly shines through when he proudly shows me all of the fun arts and crafts he has created while at Curious Critters.
I have nothing but positive memories of ******s time with Marlene at Curious Critter’s HDC. While I’m sad to have to take ****** out of Marlene’s care due to our family relocating, it makes me happy to know that someone else gets to experience how amazing Marlene is and how well their child will flourish in her care.

It is such a blessing to know that my son ***** is being given such high quality care from such an incredibly talented and caring individual. ***** has the most wonderful time on all the exciting outings Marlene takes him on (I know this because of the professional quality photos Marlene takes and shares). The arts and crafts he brings home are small masterpieces, chalk full of imaginative learning. I have the piece of mind that my little picky eater always has the most nutritious meals at Marlene's...so I don't have to be as concerned when he doesn't always eat for me at home. My only wish is that more kids could special people like Marlene in their lives to help guide them and prepare them for their journey at school...and life.

It was very difficult for us to leave our little girl and we visited many homes and public daycare's before deciding that curious critters was the right fit for us. As a mother, I was waiting for that "feeling" - the feeling that my daughter would be well taken care of. Soon after meeting Marlene, I got that feeling. My husband & I are very happy with all that Curious Critters has to offer and we feel lucky to have found such a great place for our daughter to learn & grow. It truly is a home away from home.

It was a very hard decision to start daycare for my 4 month old son, and I went to see a few daycare's I liked Curious Critters right away. For the first few weeks I felt a little uncomfortable (I've never done a home daycare before) but when I saw that **** is happy and he is progressing very well I was and am happy that I made the right choice. Unfortunately, we are moving, otherwise I would continue bringing **** to this lovely daycare. Marlene is very nice, kind and responsible person. Any concerns regarding **** she would address right away, as well as all his progress and achievements. I would recommend Curious Critters to every parent who wants to receive the best care for their kids.
Thank you Marlene
