“Our two young boys attended Whitehills Childcare Association (St. Thomas Aquinas site) full-time over the course of a five year period from 2012-2017. Donna-Marie was on staff full-time at WCA during this time and cared for each of our children through their various stages of growth and development, from ages 12-months through 4-years. while all of the staff at WCA were caring, capable, and professional, Donna-Marie stood out among her peers as an exceptionally gifted and nurturing Early Childhood Educator and caregiver. As busy working parents we frequently felt pressed for time at the daily pick-up and drop-off at daycare that bookended our weekdays. Donna-Marie was consistently a source of calm, caring energy (both for our children and us). She always took the time to to share with us details of our children’s days, and made us all feel safe and supported. The trust she established with us extended beyond WCA, as we also hired Donna-Marie to care for our children in our home from time to time, even after our daycare days at WCA came to an close. In short we would not hesitate for a moment to entrust our children in Donna-Marie’s professional, nurturing care. Any parent fortunate enough to have Donna-Marie care for and educate their child(ren), especially in their earliest years, should count themselves fortunate indeed, She is a gem!!”
