Testimonials

Words From My Very First Client 1995!

What can I say about Ms. Robin except that the care she provided for my boys was beyond EXCELLENT!!! Ms. Robin’s home was always warm and welcoming. I never worried about the safety and care of my boys because that’s how trustworthy Ms. Robin was. In addition to being a great care provider, she has also become a wonderful “sistah friend” to me and a lifelong “aunty” to the boys who are now in their 20’s. WE LOVE ROBIN’S NEST!!!

Robin’s Nest Daycare Too is a great place for your child to come, grow and spread their wings. Ms. Robin Dickson the owner, provides a safe, clean welcoming, and nourishing environment where she encourages learning through a child’s natural curiosity along with the approved curriculum. As an educator, Ms. Dickson has created a stimulating, inclusive learning environment. She has been a partner with the Judy Center for over 5 years and always strives to educate herself to provide the best learning experiences and environment for her families. I have witnessed her incorporate multi-cultural learning as she supports families of different cultural backgrounds. I love the multi-cultural dolls, toys, and other learning items she provides the children. There are lines of communication that flow wonderfully with the parents including a phone app to let the parent know how the child’s day is going while they are at work. Parents and children are surrounded by the elements of success at Robin’s Nest Daycare Too.

Philosophy

Philosophy Statement

It is my belief that every child is unique and individual, and brings something positive to the planet. As an educator, I am charged with stimulating the atmosphere in which this creativity, intellect, and social growth can flourish. Maintaining a clean, safe, supportive environment for the children is my number one priority. I will constantly enforce respect for all things as well as people. Encourage the child’s natural curiosity as a direct learning tool. I use Abeka as well as Frog Street as a guide to planning appropriate activities. In Robin’s Nest Day Care Too we have fun as we will grow together, learn together, and love together!

I believe when parents are involved in their children’s education, children succeed at higher rates. Studies have shown when parents and teachers work together, students earn higher grades, perform better on tests, enroll in more advanced courses, and more often graduate and continue onto post-secondary education. At Robin’s Nest Daycare Too we examine the connection between culture and learning and learn how to support student’s cultural differences. I work to gain strategies for creating an equitable learning experience for all students by supporting families’ cultural backgrounds, languages, and beliefs. In order for Robin’s Nest Daycare Too to be successful and efficient, it is necessary for there to be ample communication between the daycare provider and the parents. In its quest to be the best daycare possible, the staff of Robin’s Nest Daycare Too will be open to suggestions that will improve the care of your children and the level of quality provided.
