WOW for Program Director and Staff (October 2011)
We received this e-mail thank you after our annual Halloween Festival.
Thank you for hosting a great Halloween Party last night! Your efforts to create a fun, safe and enjoyable Halloween celebration are very much appreciated. The kids had a wonderful time; it was nice to be able to see the kids all dressed up in their costumes and to get to talk with other parents.
You go above and beyond with each event that you plan and I thought it was about time that I expressed my thanks to you. The decorations, event stations and pictures made for a memorable time.

We received this e-mail in celebration of one of our students that has been at our school for 1 year.
I just wanted to send a sincere thank you note to you and the staff as tomorrow marks 1 year of our son being at Foundations for Learning. Since he has started there, he has truly blossomed. Every morning he asks to go to school to see his friends and teachers and every afternoon we get an ear full of all that he has learned that day. Thank you all so much for taking such good care of him. There are no words to describe our gratitude.
With sincere thanks,

We received this e-mail in reference to our center daily sheet that we e-mail every day to our parents.
These daily updates are such a blessing for parents who share custody. I don't know if my daughters dad and I are the only parents that share custody but for each of us when we don't have her it's great to catch a glimpse of what her day was like. I love seeing what she's up to at school especially when she's not coming home to me.:-)

WOW for Foundations For Learning Summer Camp (July 2011)
LOVE these trips this summer!!!!
Thank you so much for working so hard to make our kids summers the best that they can be while they are will you guys... I appreciate that RJ is able to take part in things that we wouldn't otherwise be able to do with him because of time and costs. We love that you all at FFL work so hard to teach and play with RJ and the rest of the kids.
It makes us feel less guilty for having to work (Randy and I). :-)
We love you all at FFL!!!

WOW for Foundations For Learning (March 2011)
All of the teachers deserve a WOW all the time. I love all of the teachers, Elisa, Avalon, Marisabel, Jessica, Joneymi, Caitlin, and Andreana are just the few that I have had interactions with. Clearly, Shawn loves all of them too! There's nothing but comfort when I bring Shawn to school and I know he enjoys it there as well. He's been there since he was barely 11 weeks and I can't imagine any other place that gives me peace of mind knowing that he was and is taken care of the same way he would with me. I am a first time mom--I was over the "sad" drop-off in 1 Day! Not only is he getting the educational building blocks but he is surrounded in an environment that is exactly what I would want him to be raised in as well. He is absolutely loved by all of his friends and teachers and I couldn't ask for anything more! So, thank you for allowing me to go to work and know 110% that he is safe, loved, and getting everything that I would want for him. :-) *hugs to everyone*

WOW for Foundations For Learning (Comments thus far from February and March 2011)
In February we started doing center daily sheet so that in the middle of the day parents could see what their child was doing. We not only write about the daily activities but we post pictures. Many of our parents sent e-mails and talked to us about how much they appreciated the mid day update. These are some of their comments:
"I love this. Thank You" by Velez Family
"I like it." by Hilary Family
"I look forward to reading them on my lunch break." by Hoffman/Rule Family
"Yay.I loved seeing my daughter's quote on the sheet" by Jay Family
"I look for it every day I love reading it." by Ferreira Family
"This is great I love it! It's so nice to see my daughter in the pictures and know what she is doing before I even pick her up." by Chavez Family
"The updates are cute, they make my day." by Clang Family
"These updates are really a nice touch! Love it." by Fisher Family
"Thank you so much for the daily updates! We really do love getting them and it enables me to always ask Jack lots of questions about his day when I pick him up which always makes him laugh and smile! I know you are having some camera issues! but I love the pictures too! Even Jack's grandparents in RI are checking the site for new pics".

WOW for Toddler Teachers and Miss Miranda (December 2010)
I just wanted to thank you and the staff for stepping in tonight for Pete and me. We both got stuck at work with emergencies and ended up missing the entire beginning of the party and santa with Jack. When I picked him up I truly felt awful as all the other parents were there with their children and there was [my son] standing in the middle of the room without us. I was near tears when I walked in to see he was the only one without family there until I saw the three teachers on the floor engaging him in play, cheering him on and giving him love. They told me all about his meeting with Santa in a way that didnt make me feel bad for missing it and instead in a way that made me feel glad he has such a good relationship with them and that they know him well enough to know that was scary lol. I am so grateful they are his teachers!
I also wanted to thank you as we discovered it was you that gave a present to [my son] from Santa because he didn't have one there. I had a present with me but obviously missed the chance to hand it in so he could get it. Thank you for doing that for him! I did leave it behind so that you can use it for another boy or girl in the future should that happen again or they are in need. Please know it's not that we're not appreciative just that I want to pass that gift forward like you did for [my son] tonight. Anyway, thank you all so much and I hope the rest of the evening was a success!!

WOW for Miss Caitlin (November 2010)
I just wanted to share how excellent I think Miss Caitlin is in the Toddler room. I love having her care for [my son] and feel really good about the time [my son] gets to spend with her. She is always forth coming with information with me when I ask her about how [my son] is doing and seems to really love and care for him. I am very happy to have [my son] in her care for the time being and I just wanted to share my satisfaction with her. She is a sweetheart and I am sooo glad she is there!

WOW for the Family Halloween Party(October 2010)
We'd like to give a special "Wow" to Miss Miranda and all of the staff who helped make this year's Halloween Festival such a wonderful event!
It was such a good time to be had by all! From the kids going on the "orange carpet" (those who agreed to anyway), to everyone enjoying each other's company as we all ate and watched the kids play games with one another. It was extremely well-planned, and we thank you all for your hard work.

Thank you.

WOW for Miss Miranda the Staff!!! (October 2010)
The Pumpkin Picking Trip with the Toddler Room was so great! Randy and RJ and I had a wonderful time. It was my first field trip with everyone and it was so much fun. I loved getting to know the parents of the other kids more and seeing RJ interact with the other kids. The teachers were well prepared for watching all of the kids too! Overall we think the Teachers and Miss Miranda couldn't have planned a better outdoor adventure for our children and us to go on! Great Job everyone at FFL!!! We loved it!..
Thank you Miss Miranda!!!:-)
