Dear Goddard School of Toms River,

My daughter, Cheyenne D. has been attending your center since she was 2 months old. It has now been 1 year to the day, and I continue to be pleased with her care at your center.

I would like to take a few moments to give a special thank you to those who've taken care of Cheyenne so warmly and sincerely throughout this year.

Miss Karen has been there for Cheyenne since her very first day in Darling Dolphins. Confidently, she took her in her arms, and showered her with warm care, as well as knowledge, inclusive of all the developmental skills and crafts she made sure were a part of every day.

Miss Melissa and Miss Lisa so thoughtfully and lovingly stepped right in to help Miss Karen in her class and never missed a beat. Every afternoon I picked up Cheyenne, I knew that she was so thoroughly well cared for as well as taught something new once again. Oftentimes, I learned a thing or two myself from all 3 teachers.

As time came close to Cheyenne "graduating" from Darling Dolphins to Terrific Turtles, they did a wonderful job in helping Cheyenne with the transition. Before Cheyenne's "big first day" at Terrific Turtles, her teachers took her almost everyday into her new classroom for a short while so that she could become acquainted with the classroom as well as her soon to be new teachers, Miss Melanie and Miss Bethanne.

Miss Melanie and Miss Bethanne have been just wonderful in sincerely welcoming and helping Cheyenne adjust to her new classroom. Not to mention, ensuring that the class is productive and educational as well as nurturing. Try doing that for 9 hours straight at home!

With Miss Melissa now as head teacher of Terrific Turtles, I'm even more certain of Cheyenne's well being while I'm at work. In this day and age, when many parents must work outside of the home, it is a great relief when you find a great school. I can go to work, and feel confident that Cheyenne is in a safe and nurturing, as well as educational environment.

Thank you so very much. I'm sure Cheyenne thanks you too!

Sincerely yours,

Melissa D.
