I came across this daycare when my two daughters were 2 and 4. They were enrolled in a Montessori school and while my 4-yr-old enjoyed it, the daycare did a HORRIBLE job with the younger children. My 2-yr-old cried every time I dropped her off and every time I picked her up. The staff would not changer her diaper often enough, and she would wet 3 sets of clothes. She had boogers running down her face when I picked her up, her shoes were off. It was HORRIBLE! I took them out of there in ONE month. So I had to find somewhere QUICK! My husband and I were driving around and saw the sign for Never Never Land. We decided to stop to talk to the owner, Sandra. Immediately, I got a comforting feeling. I knew that Sandra cared about what was truly important. She did not care about training children to be robots, but she cared about nurturing them and loving them. My daughters are now almost 8 & 10 and they still love Mrs. Murphy. I also have two more little ones, a 2 1/2 year old and an 11 month old. They have all been loved on by Mrs. Murphy. Not once have my children EVER been sick from attending this daycare facility. Not ever have I picked them up with snot running down their face or a dirty diaper. One of the great qualities about Sandra is her honesty. I hated how the other daycare always said that everything went well or was fine when obviously it wasn't. Sandra will be quick to tell you when a child falls (even when they were not seriously hurt), she will tell you if she notices a strange rash or mood change. Her main concern is the well-being of the children. If people are offended by the things that she says, it is probably because they are guilty and in denial about the truth. However, I consider myself to be a good mother, whose main concern is also the well-being of her children. I love that I can count on Sandra to be honest with me and give me advice from her own experiences. I sincerely value her opinion. If you are tired of paying high-dollar only for your child to be trained to be live everyone else, then I suggest you call Sandra. She will encourage your child to be his or her own person!
