Parent Testimonials

Dear Sari, I still remember the first day we came across Beth El’s web page.  I knew from the smiling faces and your prompt response that this is where I wanted my child to attend daycare.  Moving to Phoenix was not easy and in many ways, we are still not completely adjusted.  However, one thing is certain, we feel confident that our child is getting the best care in the state.  You and the teachers have helped us understand the importance and benefits of routines all while having fun and maintaining a Jewish identity.  You have always been understanding and supportive in our times of need and we appreciate that.  You maintain a successful daycare and family life and it is nice to have strong female role models in the community like you.  Please thank you son for all his patience and time that he spends with the kids at school too.

Dear Ros, there has not been a day where I have not seen you greet us with a smile.  It has been such a pleasure getting to speak with you for a few minutes every morning and afternoon.  For several months, you were my only adult interaction (given the nature of my work) and I looked forward to our brief conversations.  It has been a rough adjustment moving to Phoenix and I am not sure we would have stayed if not for the wonderful care and people at Beth El.

Dear Han, Thank you for your cheeful smiles and waves and making sure that our children always have a clean place to play!

Dear Pamela, Thank you for all your help while taking care of our child as an infant.  Moving to Phoenix and entrusting our child to someone else was a challenge, but we quickly were reassured due to your capability and understanding nature.  He enjoyed all the time he spent with you and we know that you make sure the kids in your room are safe, and loved.

Dear Julie, I love the time we spend together when I am getting ready for my afternoon nap.  Thank you for making me feel safe and being patient with me as I am learning to share and be nice with my friends.  I know you are also working hard at your studies and you always treat me and my friends with smiles and kindness.  Thank you Julie!

Dear Jen, I am so happy on the days when I get to spend playtime outside with you and you give the best buggy rides!  Thank you for working so hard and being patient to make sure that we are always safe, having fun, and clean.  I may be cranky waking up from my afternoon nap at times, but you are always there to comfort me.  Thank you Jen!

Dear Nicki, our time together in the infant room was short but great and we will be together again soon – I can’t wait!  Thank you for always being so cheerful and taking an interest in what is going on with us.

Dear Hadassah, mommy told me that you have given her a lot of good parenting advice over the last 15 months, thank you.  Now she does not stay up late reading parenting textbooks and spend more time playing with me.

Dear Tzvia, mornings are always the best when I am greeted by your friendly “boker tov”.  I can’t wait until I am old enough to come and play with your class and learn more Hebrew.  Thank you for taking the time to spend a few minutes with me in the morning when we walk in together.

Dear Rachel, snuggle time after naps are the best.  Please excuse my grumpiness.  Thank you for being there when I wake up!  Can’t wait until I am older and will be in your class!

Dear Ms. Shari, Thank you for coming to sing and read to us.  I know I may not be the best listener right now but I know I have a blast when you come to our class.  Thank you!

Dear Coach Peanut Butter, thank you for coming to teach us the importance of PE (or are you just trying to make us tired for Mommy and Daddy?!).  Either way, we love when you come.  Thank you for all your patience and hard work!
