Kim is extremely professional and caring. She goes above and beyond to ensure her learning environment is safe, educational and personalised to the kids in her care. For example, she knew that my son was visiting a farm one weekend, so that week she arranged to have lots of farm-related toys in her house to develop his vocabulary. By the time we got to the farm, my son was able to point out lots of animals which was wonderful! Kim constantly changes the toys in her environment, and her house and backyard is a true wonderland for children! Kim is very responsive and always willing to take on board feedback and adapt her practices to suit the individual needs of children in her care. For example, during Easter I preferred that my son did not each chocolate Easter eggs, so Kim individually wrapped yoghurt-covered sultanas for my son to hunt for in her garden! My son's learning has progressed exponentially since being in Kim's care; his vocabulary increases every day, he knows the words to lots of songs, he follows simple routines and instructions, and he is counting. Most importantly, my son is happy when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up; there are never tears and he voluntarily enters Kim's house, even shutting the door and saying 'bye!'. I feel very grateful to have Kim in our lives and know that my son is in safe, nurturing and supportive hands. Thank you Kim! Read more
