"My Husband and I have 3 children. Two of which were in Cassie’s care fulltime for two full years! Our oldest daughter was in school but she was a frequent Drop In for Pd Days etc. Our son Kaine was just over one when he started and our daughter just over two. We really lucked out with Cassie as we had to try a few daycares for our son, he just couldn’t handle the separation from Mom having to go back to work full time and was often inconsolable at the pervious daycares and so it was very difficult for me to try a third daycare for him all within a couple of months. I have to say, after using quite a few daycares and dayhomes throughout our three children’s lives, that Cassie is one Fantastic Caregiver, especially with the little ones! My son and daughter took to her instantly. She provides a fun, safe, loving environment for the kids while incorporating structure and boundaries, which is obviously what children need when growing into their own. She puts an enormous effort into these children’s lives. Always making EVERY occasion special, good nutritious meals/snacks, teaching the kids, crafts, lots of outdoor play always giving parents updates etc. She also potty trained both of my children, which is a huge help when being a working parent! There is no doubt in my mind that your children would not be smiling brightly when you pick your children up at the end of the day… In case you wonder why we left, it is with the greatest of sadness that we are leaving Silly Monkey’s Dayhome but Grandma has decided to take the kids full time. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions about Silly Monkey’s Dayhome!" Yours truly, Angeline Gagnon |

"To Prospective Parents of Silly Monkeys Dayhome with Cassie Nelson: Our daughter Evie spent just over a year at Silly Monkeys Dayhome. We couldn't have asked for someone more kind and gentle to take care of our daughter than Cassie and Evie absolutely loves her. We knew that each day she was going to a loving home with lots care and attention throughout the day. Cassie provides nutritious meals each day and ensures that the children spend time outside playing when the weather is nice and even sets up a bouncy castle! Throughout the day Cassie does a variety of activities with the kids from games to crafts. She keeps parents posted with cute little candid shots of their children in action – you get to see for yourself throughout the day that they are fine! Here are some of the things we absolutely loved about her daycare: * She was always calm and loving with the children * She had many activities for them to do every day * Great food, healthy and nutritious * Lots of outdoor playtime with great outdoor play equipment available * Always communicated if there was a problem or anything out of the ordinary * Always asked parents opinions if she wanted to change or do anything differently * Very calm in her disciplinary approach. Asks children nicely to behave without raising her voice. * Always booked any time she needed off well in advance to give parents lots of warning. This was a rare occurrence however, and I cant even recall her ever taking a sick day in the time we were with her. * Most importantly, she LOVES all of the children she cares for and will take care of them as if they were her own. Cassie is one of the most caring and thoughtful people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We felt so lucky to have found her daycare for Evie. It was hard to think about leaving our child with anyone at first but I never worried about her while she was with Cassie. In fact, we still use Cassie’s drop in space for the odd day!" |

"Cassie is one of the most caring people I know. She has taken my son in as one of her own. He has been part of the Daycare for 2 years, and he loves every moment of it. She has a great backyard for the kids to play in and she is excellent at keeping the parents up to date with monthly menus and newsletters. She is constantly sending crafts home with the kids, and is very good at spoiling them for special occasions. I HIGHLY recommend her dayhome!" |
