“ We love Ms. Tiffany and Precious Moments daycare! We were so nervous to send our baby to daycare at 3 months old but Ms. Tiffany was so kind and comforting from the moment we met her and it was a huge relief. Our child has been going to daycare there for almost 6 months now and she loves Ms. Tiffany so much! She’s so excited to go to daycare every morning and she’s learning so much every day. Ms. Tiffany truly cares about the children and is so warm and welcoming. She is very professional, friendly, and communicative. We love that our child is learning, socializing, and growing in such a safe and supportive place. We are beyond impressed and thrilled with Precious Moments!” ~ Emily Fucello

“ When it comes to the business of Early Childhood Education, Tiffany Jones is the best!” ~ Taylor Kittrell

“You are always engaging the students through your questioning and your play with them. There is a clear love and respect that not only you have for the children and they for you but that the children have for each other as well. You are consistently reading the room breaking to do music and movement when needed and even interrupting play for a quick mini lesson that is just fun!” ~ Shona Weaver
