I am a past client of My Buddies Daycare, and consider her to be a great friend today. She did a great job taking care of my son ten years ago, and has just as much passion and commitment towards her daycare today as she did back then. I know Suzanne, and daycare is not just a job or a pay check to her, it’s her passion. She wants her daycare to have a positive impact in your child's life. If Honestmom is a real past client, which I highly doubt, has she ever tried to approach Suzanne about this in a grown-up, mutually respectful way? Suzanne has always been willing to accommodate individual’s needs as much as she is able without compromising the quality of care she provides to all the daycare children. Thanks Suzanne!!

Hello:
I find myself an incredibly picky person to start with and a very protective parent. When I was looking for daycare for my child I had been to 3 others before bringing my child to My Buddies Daycare. My child had sever attachment issues which I am sure was something I contributed to, but while working with Suzanne, my child quickly became independent and extremely excited to arrive each morning at daycare! I was overjoyed with the quality care my children received and have continued to recommend this daycare. If I have any more children in the future, this is where I will hope to bring them one day!
Thank you My Buddies Daycare!

Honest mom has obviously never sent any child to my buddies daycare. Suzanne is a great person who offers my child support in every way possible. She handles many different and sometimes complicated situations in a very calm and effient manner. Both of my daughters have never come home hungry, and I will be sending my third child to her as well. I think honest mom is another care facility that is trying to bring down a great establishment. Thanks for every thing Suzanne!!! My kids love you:)

One unhappy past client indeed.

"I felt that the food provided to my children was not enough. One time I noticed the food was burnt.
When I raised a question/concern, she got upset and responded in a negative way. I no longer felt comfortable to discuss my concern with her because she would take it personaly and she felt I don't trust her."

"Sensitivity if exercised properly toward caring for children is good. However, when a geniune question or concern is raised by parents, she would over react and get offended.

Some suggestions:
1). Don't rush into making a decision. Check references and find out why they discontinued. Good online reviews/comments can be made up easily by friends or relatives.
2). Put everything down in writing and sign. Verbal agreement will not protect you.
3). Once child is at daycare, randomly check on them to see what they are doing.
4). If the daycare is not good, take them out right away.

I did my part and it's up to you to discern!"

  Question for Honestmom
  

  Did you speak with Suzanne about not providing enough food? Also Emotional and Sensitive would be qualities I would want in a childcare provider. If she was emotionless or insensitive then I would see concern.

  Completely Bogus Accusation
  

  The accusation that there is not enough food provided to the children is completely bogus!
  
  My child goes to this daycare and I know for a fact that they are given plenty of food. We receive emails daily telling us exactly what they were given for AM snack, lunch and PM snack the email also includes a lot more information about the childrens day. Not once have I picked my child up hungry. As for her being emotional and sensitive...well is it really a bad thing for her to be sensitive to a childs emotional well-being. I would take sensitive and emotional over insensitive and uncaring any day.
  
  I would recommend this daycare to anyone who is looking for a "quality" child care provider who has nothing but the childrens best interest in mind.
  
  She is absolutely WONDERFUL!

  Are you Kidding?
  

  My son has been with My Buddies Daycare for over a year. I love Suzanne and the daycare she provides. This comment is un-necessary and completely inacurate. She provides healthy,home made meals for the children and my son enjoys new kinds of food thanks to Suzanne. I would recommend this daycare, not only for the amazing bond she creates with the children, but also for the skills she has learned, the dedication she puts forward and the unique and fun activities she provides for the children. There is a reason Suzanne has nothing but positive reviews. I hope there is someone out there who can remove this comment. And I agree with the above statement, that if this is IN FACT how you felt, if you really did have your child at this daycare. You would be an "honestmom" and discuss your concerns.. again, just shows this comment is a lie. To those interested in Suzanne and her daycare, I would give a great reference anytime. My Buddies Daycare is the Best!
  Sydney and Landen's Mom!

  In response to your "Suggestions" honestmom...
  

  These reviews are not rushed...Are you kidding?
  We as parents have taken the time out of our day to post comments on YOUR incredibly FALSE statements to protect this daycare and Suzanne from such ignorance.
  
  We are not relatives of Suzanne but again, parents of children who attend her daycare or have attended her daycare and have posted comments that are relevant, real and accurate of the care our children have received.
  
  It is incredibly rude and nasty to write such things about Suzanne. If you are in fact a "honestmom", you would be honest with who you are what went wrong in your opinion. Instead you hide behind a bogus name and rant about wild things that I am sure never happened. Clearly look out! To whom ever has this woman come to her door step next looking for childcare? Frankly, you won't find a better care-giver than Suzanne.
  Sincerely Sarah Rose! (and proud to say so!)

Suzanne is an amazing Woman, Fabulous daycare setting, wonderful enviroment! I feel extremely comfortable leaving my child and have nothing to worry about! He has learned so much and I really don't think i would have found anyone to do it better!
Thank you So much Suzanne :)

  Suzanne,. this is Sarah and this was my comment when Landen first started and I still agree. You provide AMAZING, QUALITY care that is hard to find these days. You are a truly amazing lady and I am so thrilled to have my child apart of your care.

I have worked with Suzanne at My Buddies Daycare and have enjoyed my time there immensely. Sue provided a very friendly environment to work in. She is a great team player!
The safety and needs of the children are always Suzanne's first priority. She is able to build a quick rapport with the children and assess their needs. Along with being patient, Suzanne is very creative and resourceful. She is always eager to add to her program!

Suzanne is the BEST!! My son was taken care of by Sue from Grade 1 and when he was in grade 4, I had a daughter and when she was 1 year old, Suzanne took care of her as well. They learned so much from Sue that was comparable to being in school which better prepared them both for school. She and her husband always ensure to have the best of everything for all the kids. I would and have recommended her to anyone!!

My daughter went to my buddies daycare when she was 3 and loved it there. She is now 12 and still loves to go back and visit. Sue will always be a part of our family.

My Buddies Daycare came highly recommended to me by a friend, and we were more than impressed with the quality of the programme. Suzanne has limitless patience with the children, is loving, kind, professional and courteous. She always strives to provide new and educational activities for the children. My daughter loved going there everyday, and even though she has 'graduated' to school now, she still speaks fondly of her days at My Buddies.

My children have been with My Buddies Daycare for 4 1/2 years. This loving environment provides an ideal setting for learning and playing. Suzanne is an amazing and patient teacher. Suzanne is always learning and exploring so the kids can too!

My Buddies Daycare is a warm and loving environment that all parents would feel comfortable for their children to attend. Suzanne provides an atmosphere where you and your child feel at home and where they are constantly learning and exploring new things.
