Testimonials
We are delighted to share some feedback received over the years from families of our child and adult participants.
The growth in my daughter in all disciplines -Speech, OT, PT and Social Skills - has grown exponentially. There was once a time I didn't know if my daughter wanted a bottle. Now I'm hearing, 'More Chicken Nuggets please.' The collaborative effort with the ACDS staff made that happen. It is clear, based on their well thought out curriculum, that every child has the opportunity to thrive. Every day I get a backpack full of work that was completed. And the school provides ideas and the tools to continue the work at home. In the beginning of this scary journey, we all wish we never had to meet anyone at ACDS and when we leave, we are crying how much we are going to miss them.

We absolutely love all the teachers, aides and staff members at Kids Connection Daycare. Each and every one of them is caring, patient, and sweet and treats my son as if he were their own. Words cannot express how reassuring it is to drop my child off to the very talented and loving people that are on staff at Kids Connection. Knowing that he is in good hands gives me peace of mind that I never thought I could have as a working mother. Thank you.

Dear Erica,
Words cannot express the gratitude we felt from the first time we met way back at Danny’s 1st Summer Adventure. You have been patient and kind with me. You understand what I’m feeling and always talk me back to reality. This whole process is nothing shy of a miracle. God has been steering our lives towards this for may year. This is where Danny is meant to be. Too many signs, too many prayers. As hard as this is for me as his mom, I absolutely know this is the right decision.
Love always.

Kids Connection has been such a valuable asset in both the lives of my two children. My son and daughter enjoy the daycare so much and the teachers are wonderful. It also is more than just a daycare - they are getting an education that I don’t believe they would be able to get anywhere else. My son is now in ACDS’s integrated preschool program and is always talking about how much he loves his new ‘big boy class’. It is so nice to have kids enjoy school and to see them excited to learn and interact with others that they wouldn’t get at home.

Dear Erica,
Thank you for seeing us through the worst time of our lives. Your wisdom and caring and love of our special children and indeed all of our family made it possible for us to squeak through with most of our hearts and minds still functioning.
We are so proud of you and for all you do for others.
God bless you and yours.
Lots and lots of love.

My daughter, born with Down syndrome, started at Kids Connection at 3 months old. The care and support she has received there has been fantastic. As a parent, I was concerned about leaving her in the care of others as well as having a concern that she would be treated differently because of her Down Syndrome. I must say, though, that the love and care shown to her is amazing. She has been so well taken care of by everyone there that I couldn't ask for a better place for her to be. She is treated just like any other child and that makes Kids Connection and the staff one of the best places, if not the best place, for our family. There are daycares closer to our home, but we are willing to travel the 15 miles to Kids Connections.

Dear ACDS Staff,
It is not so unusual for a child to express love for his teachers. That has certainly been the case with Cooper. But what I have witnessed during the four years Cooper has attended ACDS is the unwavering affection the staff has had for him. Each of you has made him feel cherished and loved. I will always be grateful to you for your total dedication (especially when you risked your health by coming to work daily). Thank you for embracing Cooper from day one and giving him the confidence to meet every academic, physical and emotional challenge.
Sincere thanks.

My husband and I were anxious and excited to be parents for the very first time. We couldn’t wait for the arrival of our precious little one and I guess he couldn’t wait either. Our baby boy was born two months prematurely, at 4lbs, 3oz. After six weeks in the NICU, two blood transfusions and various other issues, he finally came home. As working parents, no daycare seemed good enough to take care of our tiny angel who we felt required lots of TLC. Then a friend of mine who worked for ACDS highly recommended their daycare which was located right on the premises of the school and boy was she right! The daycare staff was warm, friendly and compassionate not only to our son but to us as well. They cared for him with loving arms and expressed devotion that I had never seen before. As a working mom, it was so comforting to know my child was safe and in good hands. Because of his prematurity, he was developmentally delayed and required services which he was able to obtain while in daycare. The warmth and compassion spilled over to the therapists and all who came in contact with him. The months that followed were filled with doctors’ appointments, follow ups and my husband’s deployment to Iraq with the Army Reserves. It was a very tough year for me, but I persevered with the help of family and friends and the new friends I made at ACDS. The support, love and kindness I received was overwhelming. This continued even after my husband came home. My son continued to grow and began preschool at ACDS where he flourished with flying colors, thanks to his teachers. When I became pregnant with my second child, there was no doubt in my mind where she would be going for daycare. She was born full term and received the same TLC as my son. It is truly amazing how time flies and in a blink of an eye, the little hand that once held your finger so tight is now fitting into yours. When I look back at the beginning of their lives, especially my son’s, and where they are today, I realize how important a child’s foundation is and how blessed we are that their journey began at ACDS. We will always be forever grateful. Thanks to you all!
