So-Well Daycare

I consider myself lucky to have stumbled upon Nora over 6 years ago when I was looking for childcare for my first born. Yes, I still have a child at Sowell Daycare 6 years later, but not the same one! All three of my kids started at Nora’s when they were ~4 months old and have stayed until they were ready for preschool. Nora cares for the kids like they are her own and she genuinely loves all of them. She teaches them their letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and even manners! She does age appropriate projects with the kids, and there is a backyard so they can play outside when the weather is nice.
Nora provides a daily paper report for each kid saying what they ate (she provides all food after they are past the baby food stage), how they played, how long they slept, and some other details from the day. She also tells me how their day was, whether it was good or bad. I appreciate that I get the real story so I know how my child is behaving, and where a mark on their arm came from.
Nora has become part of our family and we will miss her when we don’t see her everyday. My two older children who have moved on in their schooling still ask to go see Nora when I drop off and pick up my youngest. We are so thankful to have Nora in our lives!

I started sending my son to Sowell daycare when he was 9 months old. We had evaluated other home based daycares close to our house at that time and decided to go with Sowell daycare just because Nora seemed to have a good balance of loving caring and discipline at the same time. For anybody who I entrust to spend hours with my child at this age — these are the qualities I’d value.
I have been extremely pleased with my decision. Nora has been very loving and caring with my son. Since Nora does not offer a structured curriculum, I wasn’t expecting much academic learning from her daycare. Surprisingly though — by age 2 ½ my son learned to count to 10, knew all shapes including octagon and hexagon, all colors. Not to mention he grew up to have a very interactive disposition.
In the 2 great years that my son was at her daycare, he grew up to be very articulate, very observant, very helpful and disciplined.
When we had to look for an academia based pre-​school for him, teachers at couple of schools that we interviewed — were amazed at my son’s independent observation and articulation. Credit goes to Nora 100%. I am very thankful to her for moulding the precious 2 years of my child’s life just the way a parent would desire.
We still visit Nora, and my son still goes to her daycare when his school closes for spring/​summer breaks.

I love Nora and Sowell daycare. I was very skeptical about another home daycare when I took my son here, as I had a bad experience prior to Nora. I am so thankful I gave it another chance as Sowell daycare was exactly what my son needed. Nora took him in like he was family. My son learned so much while attending daycare there. My child has not always been easy to deal with but Nora showed him love and patience no matter what. I am forever greatful for my experience with Sowell daycare!

My daughter has been attending Sowell daycare since she was 4 months old. Nora was amazing with my transition going back to work as I was very emotional to leave her. She encouraged me to do part time drop in weeks before I would be going back to work which helped not only my daughter getting comfortable but for me not having a nervous breakdown when I returned back to work.
My daughter is now 15 months and loves going to day care, she is already saying many words and has learned to say Thank you. Manners are very important and I like that Nora helps teach the kids that as well. Nora’s day care is run on a schedule that really helps with knowing what my daughters needs are when she is not there, which has helped me a lot being a first time mom. Her care and guidance has been a tremendous help when I have had questions about her milestones. Most of all I love that Nora sincerely cares about my daughter and is excited to see her and sad to see her leave.
Nora’s day care enviornment is such a cozy and well mainteaned place, she feeds the kids well balanced food, has activities for them and is always working with them to continue learning. What more could you ask for?
Knowing my little girl is in such good hands allows me to concentrate at work and continue being successful. Thank you Nora!

Well our lovely and way too energetic daughter is now 2yrs old and she has been with Nora since she was our little peanut at 6 months old. I think the biggest testament to Nora’s wonderful care came when our daughter was at a birthday party with many children around her age. The other parents often commented on our daughters extensive vocabulary and most of all her manners with the «please», «thank you», and «bless you’s».
We would like to think our daughter is a child genius =) but we also credit Nora’s interaction, kindness, and overall enthusiasm about our child’s development. At 2 our daughter can count up to 10, knows most of her colors, and is working on her ABC’s (daym that tricky L, M, N, O!).
Nora is always flexible with our needs as well both my fiancé and I have hectic schedules. Nora has not only been a huge part of my daughters life she has been a huge part of ours. Without her providing us comfort of mind regarding our daughter we both would not be able to succeed in our careers and I would not have been able to complete my degree. Thank you Sowell Daycare!
