Our daughter attended Rashi's childcare for roughly one year between the ages of one and two years old. In that time, she has made tremendous progress, learning about the world around her (numbers, letters, animals etc), developing her emotional intelligence and social skills and even expanding her cultural horizons. It became clear quite quickly that our daughter enjoyed Rashi's setting and enjoyed her activities, regularly bringing home new ideas (new songs/ dances, yoga moves, counting in Spanish). She also became very fond of the other children and developed some deep connections to her peers.

Rashi is clearly invested in the wellbeing of the children and gives time to parents to address any concerns and works in tandem with the parents. Our daughter proved somewhat slow in her initial speech development, and Rashi worked with her to help bring her to speed. Together, we have all witnessed tremendous progress on that front.

Apart from her direct engagement with parents with respect to individual needs, Rashi provides a balanced and engaged setting - one marked by a love of music, dance and culture. Rashi creates monthly themes for the children and encourages parents to explore those themes with their children during time at home. Those themes are wonderful opportunities for children to learn more about the wider world around them and discover new topics of interest.

Beyond this, Rashi has access to a garden where the children can enjoy outdoor time but also takes them on longer day-trips further afield and regularly provides photo and video updates. Rashi provides refreshed weekly menus of home-cooked meals for the kids, which my daughter loved. Rashi also makes extra efforts to organize summer/ xmas parties for the children and their parents - a touching social reference point in which even older children come back to see her. My daughter was very attached to Rashi and to her friends, and I'm sure we will visit in the future as well.

Lastly, I would add that Rashi's team is very special - her assistants are kind and sensitive and deserve their own praise. Together, the team create a warm and nurturing environment for which I was extremely grateful.
