Our 3-year-old daughter has attended Shannon’s for 7 months now and we would be at a loss if we didn’t have Shannon and her crew. I toured several full time daycares/preschools before choosing Shannon’s. Actually our daughter demanded that she go there after she toured it with us. The initial factors that led us to her is her style of teaching and beliefs surrounding learning through play and emotional development while providing needed structure/routine, teaching independence and the amazing outdoor play area that really encompasses Montessori’s theory. Shannon structures their learning environment by following the children’s lead.. whatever they show an interest in at that time. I’ve shown up unannounced at various times of the day and am always impressed. Whether it’s story time, nap time, meal time. Shannon makes home cooked nutritious and filling meals which is especially important to the parents who work long days and dinner can be difficult. One time I showed up unannounced in late morning and Shannon was carrying a shelf from the upstairs storage because the kids were looking for a house for their super heroes. When I came back later that afternoon the kids had made the shelf their own with the super heroes swinging inside. Little things like that really impress the kids and they all seem to have a great nurturing relationship with Shannon and the girls. In fact, when I come to pick up our daughter she usually always asks to say “just a little bit longer”. Emotional development at this age is vital and that is Shannon’s expertise. I’ve witnessed my daughter and other children have an age-appropriate disagreement and I’ve taken pointers from how she manages it… she provides guidance to the children on how to problem solve issues with each other. Her communication with us has always been easy, open, and honest. Other pros is their dog Tucker and the occasional get together where can you meet the other parents. It’s not just a daycare but a nurturing school for all ages of the children.
