Miss Debbie,

In the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic, I just wanted to share how wonderful you truly are as a director.  I've worked in a few preschools/daycares and you are truly one of a kind.  I've never met a director as incorporated into the families and most importantly their children.  It's usually that they run the business end and let their teachers/staff do the teaching and they handle paperwork and everything else.  But with you it’s different...you know our families, you know our children by name and so much about them, you know what's going on and are right there with them/us.  So thank you again for taking the time to send a little video our way.  Truly means the world.  We only had a short time with the MDO family, though it feels like we've known you forever... you'll always be remembered and we hope to keep in touch.

We love Mother’s Day Out! What an amazing program led by a wonderful teaching staff. Our son was in day care 3 days a week and we enrolled in Mother’s Day Out so he could get a taste of a real two-year-old program and it was a great decision! Our son absolutely loved it & looked forward to his MDO days. Due to the pandemic our year was cut short but the MDO staff did such a great job emailing us stories, activities and videos every week, they did not forget about us & truly went the extra mile for our kids. We look forward on sending our youngest son to this wonderful program next year.

Dear Miss Debbie,

I just wanted to thank you and the MDO staff for the great story time videos that were shared with us during the COVID closing of school. We truly appreciate it and our son Ryan really enjoyed seeing his teachers. The letter with the class picture and video were also great! Thank you all for the hard work you do. Ryan had a great year and we appreciate everything you all do. Please give a special thank you to Ms. Mary and Ms. Sarah as they went above and beyond and made Ryan’s first school experience truly wonderful. 

Thank you again. Stay well and be safe.  

We could have not been happier with our experience at MDO. The teachers are loving and nurturing yet structured enough for 2 year olds. My son came home every day with artwork and stories! The small class size is great. There's enough love to go around to each child! There was never a time I dropped him off and didn't feel like they were going to look after my son in the same way I would. I would highly recommend MDO to anyone looking for a fun and safe place to bring your 2 or 3 year old! 

Mother's Day Out has truly been a God send for our family. We are very pleased with the program and the school's atmosphere. This is my son's second year. We were thrilled to hear that they started a threes program this past year and signed him up without hesitation. Our younger son will be attending the twos program in the fall. The program director and teachers are all wonderful people and have gone above and beyond for us in many ways. 

My daughter came to Mother's Day Out quite hesitant and shy, but now runs into the classroom excitedly. She has become so secure and confident in her school environment - and we see it positively impacting all aspects of her world. And that, to me, says so much. Her teachers are really wonderful - nurturing, creative and so dedicated to each child. It was invaluable to have peace of mind each school day knowing she was in such caring hands. We truly loved this program and will miss Mother's Day Out when the school year comes to an end! 

The MDO 3’s program was FANTASTIC!!!  My son was still struggling with potty-training last summer and what a gift it was not to have him be fully trained by the start of school.  The teachers were fun, motivating, creative and loving and gave my little guy such a wonderful year of exploring, discovering, playing and learning.

MDO provides such a special, comforting and encouraging environment for my daughter. This is her second year with the program and I am so confident that she has gained the emotional as well as educational skills for preschool 4. The teachers are beyond dedicated and have warming personalities that the kids gravitate to. Thank you for being a part of my daughter's life!  

My son truly loved his experience at Mother's Day Out! The staff is very nurturing and the small classes helped provide some early structure. He made some wonderful friends and so did I! They always come up with creative projects and nothing beats seeing his enormous smile as he walks out of class with his new masterpiece. It's great to be able to have a few hours to yourself while your child is enjoying some playtime with a lovable and fun group of friends! 

Mother's Day Out is an amazing program!  My daughter looks forward to going every week and pops out of bed on Tuesday mornings and shouts, "I am ready for school."  I never once had to convince her to go.  As parents, our favorite part of MDO is how many hands on activities they do with the children.  The teachers aren't afraid of the mess that will occur when giving two year olds paint and glue which is wonderful.  We also love getting an e-mail every week about what she will be doing in school.  This really helps us start conversations with her when she gets home about what she did that day.  The nurturing environment they have given her at MDO this past year has been amazing.  

I am truly happy that we chose Mother’s Day Out for our daughter’s first school experience.  The teachers are as kind, nurturing and responsive to the parent as they are to the children.  They gracefully eased Kayleigh into the structure of the school day, comforting her separation anxiety and keeping me in the loop on her progress.  By the end of the year, Kayleigh was tearful to come home because she was having so much fun!    I have been thrilled to watch her develop a love for school and it has brought me joy to see her proud to learn new songs, bring home beautiful art work and make new friends.  I will forever be grateful that MDO was Kayleigh’s first experience of her many years of school ahead.  

As a parent of two children who have attended MDO and a pediatric occupational therapist I am so impressed by this program!  I love how nurturing and play-based the environment is.   The teachers truly love your children and make them feel so special. Each week the program has a theme in which the snack and craft coordinate. The MDO program is very enriching socially and developmentally for all children. 

So sad we are no longer going to school.  MDO was like our family for the past 2 years.  They have a wonderful staff. Love them all.  Felt so relaxed and calm with them taking my child into their hands because they were so calm and loving.  They are truly the best!  We will miss them so much.   Ava, mommy and daddy have talked about her teachers regularly for the past 2 years. 

My son had such an amazing year at MDO 3's program. He was so excited to go to school each day. Miss Maria was so attentive, caring, and interested in my son.  Miss Roseanne and Miss Mary were great as well.  My son always had a smile on his face when I picked him up at school. MDO always made him feel very special. I would highly recommend the MDO 2’s and 3’s program.  We will all miss the teachers. 

My son absolutely loves MDO. He asks, "Can we please go to school?"  Miss Lisa and Mary Beth as well as Miss Kelly are awesome and my son adores them. He comes home with a great art project each week, sings songs he has learned at school, and asks for his school friends. He gets excited when we talk about going to school and says, “yay school”.  Miss Debbie is a jewel, always positive with a great smile on her face. We have truly enjoyed our Mother's Day out experience and would whole heartedly recommend the program to other families. 

We are so happy that Liliana was able to be a part of MDO! I have loved watching her grow and change over the course of the program. It has provided her an opportunity to become more independent while still feeling safe and loved by her incredible teachers and Miss Debbie. She wakes up every morning and asks if it is Friday so that she can go to "Miss Debbie's School!" We are so sad that this program is ending and will truly miss Miss Debbie, Miss Roseanne, Miss Paula and our new friends!  

Our two boys went to the MDO 2's program. They both loved it.  So did we!  We can't say enough great things about the teaching staff and the Director Miss Debbie. They care so much about the kids and create a nurturing and safe environment. My boys loved going to school and loved their teachers Miss Margaret and Miss. Paula. We really liked their indoor play gym for those rainy days. We researched and looked at a number of places for a 2's program and by far MDO is the best place one can choose for their young kids.  

MDO has been an absolute dream come true!  As a first time mother it was critical that my son received the right programming that would support the values we work on at home.  At 3 years of age I wanted my son to have free play, but also organized programming so he engaged in reading, crafts and collective thinking. As a chef, I wanted a place where my child could receive nutritious snacks and not feed sugary drinks or empty calories.  Generally, I wanted a place for my child to blossom, imagine and make friends.  MDO was the perfect fit!   

My daughter has been watched by a babysitter at home since she was born. We felt it was time to introduce her to some type of nursery school, though. I am so happy I chose MDO. She's done very well with the separation from Day 1, and I do feel that it has much to do with her teacher and the care given to her. It is a very well rounded program and they do so many fun things with the kids each week. They also take pictures on most weeks and email them to the parents. This means a lot to a mom who works full time and doesn't get to spend much time at home. It feels good to see these pictures and know that she's happy and having fun.
