Nicolas
Our child had a wonderful experience at this daycare, and we are especially grateful for Miss Shey. She is caring, patient, dedicated, and truly passionate about early childhood education. She created a warm and nurturing environment where our son felt safe, happy, and encouraged to learn every day. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to each child’s development are outstanding. We are also very thankful for the gift of English immersion, which has been such a meaningful part of his growth. It is clear that Miss Shey puts her heart into her work, and we feel very lucky that our son had the chance to learn and grow under her care. Thank you, Miss Shey, for everything. You made a lasting difference in his life and in ours. N&F

I couldn't ask for a more loving and welcoming space for my child.

Our experience at First Ave Child Care has been nothing but amazing. My expectations of my son's development have been far exceeded. Ms. Shey goes above and beyond doing many extra little things for the children and their families. I highly recommend Ms. Shey and First Ave Child Care.

We have enrolled two children at 1st Avenue Childcare. Shey is an exceptional educator and adopts the montessori style, which our children responded well to. The children love(d) their time there and we couldn't be happier with our childcare provider

Right when we met Shey, we knew it was going to be a gift to be under her care, not just for our son, but also for us as a family. Shey is incredibly patient, gentle, and kind, and our son loves her dearly. As a family, we have felt so cared for by her; she was quick to get back to us about any concern we had, and always kept us updated on how things were going. As a parent, the most I could ask for is for a caregiver to love and care for my son wholeheartedly and fully; Shey has done just that, and has become a friend to our family, asking too about our wellbeing as parents. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to care for our son. We will miss her dearly but know we have gained a good friend to our family!
