Our son was in Annalisa's care for 16 months before he outgrew the environment and was ready for a larger setting, such as a nursery or preschool, at just over 3 years old. I firmly believe that Annalisa's support and nurturing were instrumental in preparing him for this next stage and in helping him develop the necessary skills for a new environment.

Our son loved going to Annalisa's; he made wonderful friends, and Annalisa's own children were delightful companions. Annalisa combines love and fun with teaching valuable skills, such as recognising their own names, using scissors safely, and tracing letters.

What I appreciated most about Annalisa's care was the freedom and variety of experiences she offered. The children enjoyed trips to parks, where they had fun feeding ducks and learning about nature. Within the home, they engaged in creative activities, making lovely crafts to bring home, and even baking cakes.

It was truly sad to say goodbye, but I know Annalisa will always be there if we need her. The lessons and experiences our son gained under her care will stay with him as he moves on to his new environment.
