| "A Testimony from A Mommy and Daddy at Penny Lane" |
| Penny Lane has made our life incredibly pleasant during the past 3 1/2 years. Our short story is simple, but rewarding for a full-time working Mommy and Daddy. Our son has attended Penny Lane Preschool since he was 10 months old. His is currently 4 1/2. Penny Lane and their entire staff have grown to be a large and integral part of our life since the beginning of 2004. When we originally contacted Penny Lane, we never dreamed we would be this pleased with the care and schooling our son receives. He also receives 2 square meals per day provided by the Penny Lane kitchen. He has been in four classrooms so far (infants, toddlers, 2-year olds, and 3-year olds) and recently graduated to the 4-year old class. Every full-time teacher has been superb in her own way. They all have experience and backgrounds or degrees in childcare and development. They each have been or are very open with parents and report voluntarily on my child's activities, learning skills and behavior on a daily basis. In addition to the teaching curriculums for each classroom (including time for learning on computers), all children participate in daily indoor/outdoor playtime activities, which develop social skills and physical capabilities. Penny Lane has a large gym for wintertime or rainy weather and a large playground, where age groups are separated, with playground equipment, a tricycle/bicycle area, and planting areas for the children to plant flowers and vegetables. Each classroom also has daily arts and crafts projects. Penny Lane sponsors various field trips throughout the year such as trips to pet stores, libraries, and police stations. There are 2 Penny Lane shows annually that the parents are invited to attend: a holiday show and a spring sing with graduation. All children participate with their classroom and get to rehearse for each show and then perform on stage. Penny Lane makes our life easier and less stressful than it could be. Since our son is an only child, we are thrilled he has had the opportunity to make many special friends, both with children his age and the teaching staff. He has excelled socially since being a port of the Penny Lane Family. My husband and I stand behind the philosophies of the Penny Lane owners, staff and teachers, and believe the combination of all makes for one of the best preschool centers for children of all ages. |

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone at Penny Lane and all the teachers in rm 12 that
have taken such great care of my little Megan over the last 8 months! The care you've all
given her is as good as I could give her myself and I am really going to miss all of you!! I
know Megan is going to as well since she gets so excited the minute we pull into the parking
lot!

| I am so happy that I chose Penny Lane for my daughter to attend. I feel comfortable and know she is in good hands when she is dropped off. The teachers are wonderful and truly try to go the extra mile to help when needed. I have seen such an improvement and change in my daughter after the first week she is more outgoing, willing to try new foods and plays better alone and with others. Thanks for all the extra care and attention that Penny Lane gives. Teena Owens (parent of 15 month old) |
| I actually just want to recommend this daycare to anyone who is in need, because in the two years that I have had my kids here there has not been one bad experience. The teachers are great, they care for the kids as they were their own and they keep you as parents involved in your child’s life even if you can't be there. I give my greatest appreciation to the teachers and staff at Penny Lane thank you so much for being there to keep my children safe and in good hands. Casandra Schlenkert |
