We have three girls and the last time any of them was in daycare was our oldest and that was well over ten years ago. I felt very hopeless navigating the world of daycare again. I spent days calling and sending out emails and leaving voicemails. Every daycare had either bad reviews, was too expensive, or too far away. Enter, Journey to Learning. From my first phone call Hailey was absolutely the most kind, gentle, understanding, and wonderful director I've ever spoken to. Just talking to her, you could hear the love and compassion she has for her job and her kiddos. My baby girl hasn't even started yet and I wouldn't think twice about taking her anywhere else, that should tell you a thing or two. The enrollment process was so easy and streamlined, she was willing to work with us on every facet of the process. I could finally breathe, knowing that my youngest is going to be well taken care of and in the best hands, apart from my own. What sets Hailey and her team apart, she runs a Montessori developmental style daycare. As a behavioral interventionalist for the school district this resonated with me. And, they teach a little Italian each week, where else are you gonna find that! Do yourself a favor, go tour Journey to Learning and put your kiddo in the best daycare in Post Falls!
