"After researching over a dozen dayhomes we were fortunate to find Rosie! Being a first time mom and very particular with my daughter’s care, I felt at ease instantly with Rosie. Our daughter was just 15 months old when she started with Joanna’s Dayhome and warmed to Rosie right away. 6 months later our daughter speaks bits of Spanish and communicates incredibly well. She looks forward to going to Rosie’s every day.
We are so grateful to have found a caring, patient and well established Dayhome for our daughter. We would not hesitate to recommend Rosie as a childcare provider."

"Rosie has been taking care of our two children (ages 4 and 2.5) for the last two months. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Rosie and the care she provides. She is patient and loving, yet firm when it is required. She has strong family values and I feel that her own children, who are polite and well behaved, are a testament to the effectiveness of these values.
Because of her background as a teacher, Rosie takes an approach to childcare that parallels that of a preschool teacher. She regularly takes out story kits from the library to share with the children, and teaches common songs and nursery rhymes in both Spanish and English. She rotates her wide selection of toys so that the children are continually engaged during free play time. Rosie has high, yet reasonable expectations for the children which are effective as they mimic our own. She has made our children feel very welcome in her home, and they can't wait to go there each day.
It is without hesitation that I would recommend Rosie as a day home provider for your children."

"This is a letter of reference regarding Roxi’s Dayhome. A few years ago my daughter, who was 12 months at the time, was cared for at Roxi and Al’s dayhome. Roxi looked after my daughter for two years. Roxi’s home was always very organized and clean. She provided snacks and meals that were nutritious. My daughter especially enjoyed her homemade soup. Roxi welcomed my daughter into her home and made her one of the family. My daughter was well cared for and enjoyed going to visit the dayhome. Roxi was very caring towards our daughter. Roxi was especially very good with infants and toddlers. She also provided a variety of clean toys for the kids to play with and some crafts. My daughter enjoyed the opportunity to paint."

"This is a letter of reference for Roxi's dayhome. This summer, i worried about finding a dayhome for my baby boy.
Today i have no more worries,because Roxy is so kind with children. my baby is always happy to attend
her dayhome. Her home is warm, clean and safe for infants and toddlers. And she also provides homemade meals and snacks.
i really appreciate the way she looks after my baby. He is more active and learn painting, singing, alphabet at Roxy's
dayhome. She's very professional and also consider my baby like a member of her family.
Thank you."

From the first time we met Rosie, we felt the warmth and love that radiates from her personality. We had tried daycares and other day homes and we never felt at ease leaving our daughter with them. Yet, when we started with Rosie, it felt like home. She made us feel like we were leaving our daughter with someone who truly loved her.
When you meet Rosie the first thing you will notice is her joy. Rosie is always positive and happy. Her play area is a child’s dream with bright colored paint, many different toys, music, and love. Our daughter was very shy, but she settled into Rosie’s day home with ease. Rosie makes the effort to give each child special attention. She noticed our daughter loved getting stickers and she would put one on her hand at the end of the day. That sticker would not come off until bath time!
Being an educator, I care about the learning opportunities my child receives. At Rosie’s day home, the children are exposed to English and Spanish. They sing, dance, read stories, and play outside. We have noticed how much more outgoing and social our daughter is with other kids and how much Rosie emphasizes manners. We feel like there is no better fit for our family. We feel truly blessed to have Rosie in our lives and taking care of our daughter.
