My son started attending Raindrop when he was 5–6 months old, and he’s now 14 months. As a first-time mommy, I was extremely apprehensive about separating from him and leaving him with people I didn’t know. During my initial interview, I met with Mrs. Williams. The moment my son saw her and reached for her, I felt an immediate sense of peace.
I’ll be honest, I had more separation anxiety than he did! I cried on his first day, but the staff reassured me every step of the way. Aaron has always been a pretty chill baby, and he adjusted so well, which spoke volumes about the environment they’ve created.
The love and care they pour into my son truly makes Raindrop feel like family. The communication is unmatched. I receive updates for every diaper change, every meal, when he goes down for a nap, when he wakes up, and even what snacks he has. They also send photos and videos of the activities he’s participating in, which gives me so much comfort throughout the day.
The facility is very clean — they clean in the morning and again at night — and it shows. I feel completely comfortable and confident sending my son there every day.
Since starting at Raindrop, he has progressed tremendously. They are sharpening his fine motor skills, helping him form words, encouraging creativity through painting and play, and now he’s dancing and full of personality. Watching his growth has been amazing.
Choosing childcare as a first-time mom was not easy, but Raindrop has exceeded my expectations. I’m a very happy and grateful mom.
