We’re incredibly grateful for the experience we’ve had at Story House so far. From the very beginning, Director Amanda made us feel so welcomed during the tour, which gave us a lot of comfort in making our decision. Ayden had come from another childcare and was very attached to his previous educators, so we were naturally quite anxious about the transition. However, during the orientation, Amanda, Jemma, and Alma provided so much support, patience, and reassurance. They kept us informed every step of the way and helped ease our worries immensely. It’s been heartwarming to see how far Ayden has come—from crying at every drop-off to now going straight to his educators. The communication from the team has been excellent, and I always look forward to the daily reflections and photos to see what Ayden has been up to. Overall, Story House has been such a nurturing and loving environment, and we’re so thankful for the care and dedication from all the educators. Read more
