  The reason I keep bringing my kids to 2forU is solely because of the teachers, they really hold this place together. My son is very timid and struggles to connect sometimes but loves to go in and see Miss Laci!! It warms my heart that he refers to her as his best friend. I also love Miss Maricela and her communication for my daughter. If it weren't for the fact that my son feels at home here, I would have left with the corporate buy-out. The communication around the changes have been subpar at best, the drop-off chaos with only a few rooms open is miserable and makes my and my son's day start out horrible. I've spent time crying in my car after drop-off because my son so desperately wanted to just go to his own room. Miss Bekah and Miss Olinda have also been absolutely wonderful and clearly love my children dearly. I just wish the center cared more about my childrens' nutrition and comfort over corporate profits.

  I work here so my opinion is biased.. but I must say the teachers are the reason my kids go here. Even when I didn't work here, I still chose 2 For U because of the reliable and consistent staff. I have 3 kids - 1 who has attended daycare here since she was 5 weeks, and my other 2 who currently go here. All of the infant teachers (Sarah, Justine, Bekah, Olinda, & Maisa) provide top notch care and people that make you feel at ease.. especially if you are new parent(s). My son is in the mobile infants class with Cami & Maikeeah and he loves them. They interact with him, send me tons of pictures even though I am here at the center, and have their best interest for him. I also love that they do circle time where they read a book together and go through your "first words". He's already grown so much since he moved into their class. My daughter is in the 4 year old class with Ms. Shyrete who my oldest daughter also had. Shyrete loves and treats them like they are her own, teachers them how to be a respectful child, and is also getting my 4 y.o ready for Kindergarten. She started the year off not knowing how to write her name and now she has mastered her handwriting. I couldn't ask for better teachers than the ones we have here at 2 For U. We recently had an ownership change and now are owned by a corporate company so there are times where communication is not well relayed causing frustration, however I believe that families the teachers are the reason my kids are here. We have long tenured staff that are reliable, loving, and are the best at doing their jobs.

  My wife and I have been with 2 for U most of this past year. We love the teachers here, and the facility! Marisela, Gabby, and Linda have been amazing with our child. I always know we're going to have a tired little one when we get home because the day is packed full of fun activites. We are also sent home some artwork and crafts that our little one makes while at daycare. Very happy dad, mom, and baby!

  We’ve been at 2forU for almost a year now, and our child is absolutely thriving, and that is all thanks to her teacher, Marjorie! Marjorie cares for our spunky child with patience, gentleness, and a love like she were her own. Our child also has a dairy allergy, so we’re thankful for cook Christa, who comes up with dairy-free alternatives for our child. Overall, there has been a lot of change this past year, with communication of those changes not always being the best. However, the teachers have been such a bright spot and my child is thriving and happy.

  The front line teachers and workers make this place the best they possibly can. I have sent both of my children here for about two years and it's the teachers that have made us stay. They are kind, thoughtful, and care for my children well. Marjorie handles my fiesty child with gentleness, understanding, and dedication; never wavering from what's best for her. The center has gone through a change in ownership over the last year which has been challenging for a lot of families with different rules, less personal oversight, and more "corporate" mindset. Thank heavens for the teachers sticking it out through the difficult changes to keep loving on our kiddos.
