Read what families are saying about John Morales and the attention their children receive while in his care at Toddlerbright.

 

Our son, Rhys, started at Toddlerbright a little after turning 17 months old. We could never say enough good things about John Morales and the childcare services he provides for him. In fact, it almost feels as if we are doing him a disservice by calling it childcare. It is so much more than that. John loves each of the kids in his care as if they were his own and our son has made leaps and bounds in his development since starting there. He loves being there, does not cry when he is dropped off and doesn't even really want to leave in the evenings. I can't say what peace of mind that gives us each day while we are working. I would and have highly recommended Toddlerbright to everyone I know. You can rest assured that when your child is left in his charge they will be safe, loved and well cared for.

I am writing this testimony in regards to John Morales. When I first met “Mr. John” I was seeking new childcare and he was the director of the child care facility that I was considering. My little girl immediately took a liking to Mr. John, which amazed me. Mr. John is the only reason that I chose the facility. He always has guidelines for the children to follow and has the most amazing ways of making sure they do. The children are never made to feel bad or naughty but he teaches them the difference between right and wrong with gentle correction and redirection. The calmness that always surrounds him is very comforting to the children and they are drawn to his caring nature. He is always aware of what he says and how he says it and he has extensive knowledge and experience in how to handle any situation that may arise. He uses this knowledge to give the children around him a fun and loving environment that is safe every second they are there. When my daughter was entrusted to John, I never worried about her. I always felt completely confident that she is being loved, cared for, kept healthy and happy, and put first.

John is also focused on providing an educational environment. The children in his care are taught everything from the alphabet to sign language. It is evident in the skills these children possess that he takes great pride in making sure they walk out of his classroom having learned something new. My daughter learned more with John than she has with any other daycare provider.

There are many good daycare providers in this world; however, John Morales is truly unique in his knowledge, patience, and love for children. As long as my little girl is in daycare, I will do my best to make sure she is at the same facility as John simply because we both feel more secure when he is there.

Our son has been with John since he was 7 months old. Now at almost two, I would never think of leaving him with anyone else. John has been a valued and trusted caregiver for our family. He shows a deep appreciation for our child’s needs. The surroundings are immaculate at all times. Child nutrition and development is above par. Communication is excellent. I highly recommend John and consider him an outstanding professional in childcare.

Mr. John has cared for our son for over two years now and we greatly appreciate the care he has received. Some of the things that set Toddlerbright apart from many other daycare centers are professionalism, discipline and dependability. While many larger centers have high turnover — resulting in high stress on children who constantly have to adapt to inconsistent rules of behaviour — Toddlerbright offers the stability children need at their early age. Mr. John's education and experience in this field enable him to understand the children's needs, maintain discipline and create a rich environment for learning. We are already arranging with Toddlerbright for our second child due to arrive in the fall!

John is simply awesome! He has been caring for my girls for about a year and a half, and they love him as much as he loves them. John's Early Childhood Education background and experience not only allows him to patiently and lovingly care for the kids, but he teaches them as well. Since being in his care, my girls have grown tremendously physically, emotionally, and intellectually. They always get nutritious meals; except for the cake at the birthday parties that he throws for each and every child to let them know that it is their special day and they are important; one of John's underlying themes.

John has been a blessing to me as well. When he is able, John has been more than accommodating in making reasonable adjustments when I communicate changes in my circumstances. I couldn't have made it through the last year and a half without John. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs quality care for their children!

Jayden and Ileah have been going to Toddlerbright now for over a year and they absolutely love it! John has been a big help to our family with crazy schedules; more importantly, we know that our children are in safe and caring hands. My husband and I consider ourselves grateful to have someone like John watching over and teaching them.

John, we’re not sure how we can ever THANK YOU for all you do for Breona each and every day. You truly have the gift of taking care of children. Your patient and caring heart is what every daycare organization needs. We just thank GOD everyday that we are away from her she is in with a person who truly cares about her and not just a paycheck.

I think it was fate the first time I heard about Toddlerbright. Our previous experience with childcare had been a nightmare, and Toddlerbright has been a dream for us. My daughter is always happy to be with Mr. John and the kids. My husband and I feel safe when she is there. I know she is being taken care of. Naomi is only 2 years old, and when she comes home from daycare, she tells us about her day and what fun she had with her friends. I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for my child.

Mr. John has been caring for our daughter since she was 3 months old. As she nears the age of 16 months, Mr. John has truly become a part of our family. In the beginning, as a first time mom and dad, it was quite frightening leaving our baby with a 'new person' for up to 10 hours a day. It only took a couple visits for us to truly be able to walk out the front door and feel a sense of comfort that Ava was with a great caretaker. Recently I had to go out of town for 9 weeks for job training. It was a relief knowing that between my husband and Mr. John, Ava would be taken care of with the utmost love and attention. I hate to say it, but I actually worried about my husband more than John! When I came back, It was as if Ava had taken to him as a second father, and for that I am grateful.

Just last week a friend asked me if I had considered finding a new daycare being Mr. John lives 10 miles in the opposite direction from work and home. I just looked at her, giggled and said, "You obviously haven't met Mr. John!"

Thank you John for all you have done for us, especially Ava. We are all very lucky to have you in our family!

Our son was born very sick, so to say we were overly cautious when deciding on a caregiver once I decided to go back to work, is at best, an understatement. I was fortunate to have a friend in home child care who offered me a list of references and of course Mr. John was one of them. We did interview a few different people, but once we stepped foot into Toddlerbright, we knew it was going to be the right fit for us.

It was so obvious how much care and attention Mr. John has placed on making his daycare the best there is to offer. It is ‘commercial child care’ without the worry. Plus the kids all seemed to not only adore him, but respect him as well.

Now that our son is enrolled, we have seen so much progress in him. He is learning to talk at a rapid rate. His social skills have blossomed, he is exhibiting early signs of a desire to potty train, and he is not even two years old yet. Plus he loves Mr. John. Every morning he races for the door and seems so excited to have another fun filled day at Mr. John’s.

I will admit that we were skeptical about a male childcare provider at first, but you only need to meet Mr. John once and it is immediately apparent how much he cares about all the kids, and how important it is for them to be in a safe place where the parents and the children are happy. I could not feel more blessed to have found someone as capable, competent and caring as Mr. John. We consider ourselves very fortunate to be a part of Toddlerbright.

Our family LOVES John! The developmental progress that Jack has made since attending Toddlerbright is amazing. He is speaking more, has learned new skills, and he has begun asking me to read with him. I believe that Jack is also benefiting from being cared for with older children, instead of just being in the baby room (like at his old daycare). We love that John is a highly credentialed caregiver, and his hours make our schedules so much more tolerable. We appreciate that John knows Jack’s personality and quirks, as he does with all his children.

Our daughter had to work on Saturdays and we had a retail store to run. We looked high and low for a caregiver that we could trust our grandson with. We found Toddlerbright and our grandson took to Mr. John straight away. Whenever we told him that he was going to see Mr. John, he would get excited.

Ayden has been going to Toddlerbright for over a year now. Weekdays, Ayden attends a different daycare, but asks almost every day to go see Mr. John. Come Saturday he is up and asks, “I go see Mr. John?”

John is very organized. The children’s meals are well prepared and the surroundings are always in order. We are very lucky to have found Toddlerbright.

Grandma Cheryl T.

Our son has been with Mr. John since he was 2 ½ years old. Prior to Mr. John, Michael attended three different commercial daycare centers and each one disappointed us in different ways. From the moment we met Mr. John, we knew things would be different. Since Michael has been at Toddlerbright, he is a much happier toddler and has learned more than he ever did at commercial daycare (i.e. he now sings, counts, talks more, shares, etc.). It is such a relief to drop off our son each day and know that he is safe, understood, and respected for who he is. Mr. John understands that each kid is unique and somehow knows how to motivate each child to be the best that he/she can be.

We cannot express how blessed we are to have Mr. John in our lives. We are privileged to be a part of Toddlerbright and we know that anyone who chooses Toddlerbright as their child’s home away from home will feel the same.

John has been heaven sent to my family since 2004. This is our last year with John since our little girl will be entering Kindergarten this year. It won't be hard watching her go to school; it will be hard trusting the school to take care of her like he has done since she was 1. We will miss him so much and I can't thank him enough for the care and attention he has given to our daughter all of these years.

Our 2 year-old loves Mr. John and the kids! We love John as well. He is such a wonderful person. Since Alora started at Toddlerbright, she has become a lot more social and has learned way more than we could have ever taught her by ourselves. She is always excited when we arrive and never fails to say “John's house...YAY!!!” Every night we talk about her day at John's. We can't understand all of it, but we can definitely understand when she says that John's nice and John's fun. John Morales is a valuable asset to our family and don't know what we'd do without him. I look forward to our quick visits when dropping/picking up Alora. I can't even begin to say enough nice things about him!

Our Riley has attended Toddlerbright for a year and half and we could not be more pleased with the care she has received. There are so many reasons to love Mr. John, the flexible scheduling, the nutritious food he prepares, the education that he provides and that my daughter loves him, but for me there is only one thing. It is how truly excited he is when Riley does something new. As working parents we realize that there are many things that we miss but it is comforting to know that Mr. John will be there to share them with our girls. We are excited to send our new baby daughter to Toddlerbright also. It is blessing that we found Toddlerbright and we would never think of sending our girls anywhere else.
