From the Point of View of Adults

The following are comments from our recent satisfaction surveys submitted by service-users.

"As an only child, my child did not receive as much socializing from 0-2 as other children with siblings. Since being at Cook's, he has blossomed into a very social and curious child. Cook's welcomed us in every way and was very supportive for my child in his adjustment period. He is one of the better "readers" in his JK class. I feel the attitudes toward literacy and reading he sees at home are demonstrated in the Cook's Program. He has bonded with and trusts his teachers in the Program, whom he mentions often and are now an important aspect of his life. Yeah, Cook's!"

"Everyone associated with Cook's are wonderful influences for the children. They are caring and are able to help the kids learn by making learning fun. Thank-you!"

" You're the best! Thank-you."

"I wanted to commend the Staff for the 2wk hand/sign language program. Emily really enjoyed it!"

"We really appreciate the warm, friendly staff and the variety of crafts and activities."

"Very appreciative for your support while dealing with change (work). Thank you for being so flexible while I am in search of work. Keep up the great work!"

"I could not be happier with another child care centre. I really appreciate the flexibility with days of care and the warm inviting atmosphere that you provide to the parents and children. Kudos to you all for all of your efforts. They do not go unnoticed."

"We're very grateful for the high-level of care shown to Hunter, and the ongoing compassion and support."

"Although my child is fairly new to the day care, I am very satisfied with the care and attention he receives. My child is always in great spirit when my husband and/or I come o pick him up, which demonstrates the outstanding efforts of every staff member."

"At first I suffered from separation anxiety (of course!), although "the girls" were very understanding and compassionate; even every time I called to check in."

"After a very short while, I was positive that I had made the right choice with Cook's. Your staff makes all the difference!"

"I am really happy to have found a daycare as Cook's is; the staff is so wonderful and supportive with the children. My girls feel very happy and comfortable here and I never feel bad leaving them behind. Thank you very much, great work!"

"During these tough economic times your services, programs, and food, etc have been nothing but top notch. Thank you for all you do. (Teachers, assistants, staff, cooks, planners, admin, etc.)"

"I give the teachers credit in dealing with the different schedules of school aged children. Parents have a hard enough time but the teachers make it easier as they are organized and aware of individualized schedules."

"Awesome Work Ladies!"

"The service you provide by walking my child to and from school is greatly appreciated. Without this added extra we would not be able to stay with Cook's day care. There are many other reasons we stay but walking my child to and from school is a great benefit to our family."

"Every effort is made to communicate with parents. Staff are always supportive of student activities and interests."

"Great Job … as always!"

"All caregivers are caring and patient."

"Thank you for giving us a great experience and allowing the kids to grow and learn."

"The teachers/staff are excellent. They have helped my child adjust to school / daycare perfectly. She couldn't be at a better place."

"We feel very fortunate to have our children cared for here. It is an excellent facility with top-notch Programs and staff. Thank-you!"

"We love coming and love our extended family! The support given to all of my family has helped with raising my children, which is very much appreciated!"

"Quite satisfied with all the services provided by the workers and/or staff @ Cook's."
