Parent Testimonials

Our 4-year-old child has been attending WHE since the age of 1-1/2. During this time, Jude and KC have played a pivotal role in our child's educational, emotional, and physical development, as well as our development as parents. It is such a relief to know when our child is at WHE, they are safe, well-cared for, fed consistently healthy, home-made (and delicious) food, and encouraged to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Moreover, we (parents and child) view Jude & KC as family -- not just child care providers -- and we are grateful for the wonderful tight-knit community we have gained as a result of bringin our child to WHE.

Jude and K.C. lovingly cared for our daughter beginning at 7 months old. For three years, we observed our precious girl thrive inside this community. She developed an incredible talent for art. Her language skills are now well beyond her peers' outside of West Hill Educare. They recognized what we do: she is special. And because of the provider's pedagogical background, our daughter's unique traits were nourished. We highly recommend WHE to any family looking for a safe, clean, structured, intelligent environment for their young learners. The are family who our daughter will remember for a lifetime.

Our daughter has gone to West Hill Educare for the last 3 years. She and we absolutely love it! She wakes up every morning wanting to go to school and has learned amazing life skills and loves to learn. It’s clear to us how much her teachers care about her and the other children. They spend a lot of time supporting the interests of each child. The children spend lots of time outside daily, as weather permits. Our daughter loves to play "school" when she is home on the weekends and is so cooperative, caring, and engaged, which just tells me the kind of interactions she's having at school. She will even unroll her rest mat for "school rest time" and rest in the middle of the living room for 20 minutes!
Another great benefit is the feeling of community amongst the families. 
We couldn’t recommend WHE more highly!

"Our 4.5 year-old daughter had her first parent/teacher conference yesterday with the school district and her teacher told us how impressed they were at her ability to articulate her feelings and tell others what she needs. We know she has always been pretty good with her words, but we’re sure the teaching/coaching she received over her two years at West Hill Educare is a big reason why she is able to communicate the way she does and understand her feelings. Thank you!"
