Kristen is the absolute best. I can’t even express how amazing it is to have total peace of mind that your child is safe, learning , and having fun while you’re at work. She has an amazing, clean space and my little one can’t wait to go each day. He’s not only “watched”, he’s loved and that means the most to us.

Mrs. Kristin is the best. She treats the children as if they were her own. She loves them dearly, takes care of them and works with them. My son would still be with her if it wasn’t for the fact we moved across the country. Hands down, the best child care services in Concord. So glad she was a part of our journey, even if it was short lived.

Mrs. Kristen is amazing! Little man has always been a happy baby, but he has been noticeably happier since starting here. He is so excited to come to “skoo” each day!

Ms. Kristen is the absolute best!! My husband and I couldn’t be happier that our son is in her care. We have struggled for over a year to find a place where he is taken care of and where a provider can meet him where his needs are. My son is very hyper active and has a speech delay so Ms. Kristen has great…

Ms. Kristen is the absolute best!! My husband and I couldn’t be happier that our son is in her care. We have struggled for over a year to find a place where he is taken care of and where a provider can meet him where his needs are. My son is very hyper active and has a speech delay so Ms. Kristen has great activities provided for him and all the children everyday! He loves being there and is now talking so much more! We appreciate all the pictures and updates we get throughout the day too. Dandelion Daycare is so clean, cozy and organized. We appreciate Ms. Kristen so much for everything she has done personally and professionally and hopefully our daughter can join her care in the future!

We absolutely love Ms. Kristin and Dandelion Daycare! She is so wonderful with all the kids, they all adore her! It feels so good to know when my son is with her that he is happy and enjoying himself and I know is being well cared for. She will send pictures to share their experiences and activities with us parents... I always love that. She keeps a very clean and fun environment and insures the kids are always learning new things with new and different activities being offered. She loves the kids and they just absolutely love her as well! By far the best Home Daycare in the area. Thank you Ms. Kristin for everything you do, you are a beautiful person through and through!

We LOVE Dandelion Daycare! Ms. Kristin does such an amazing job with activities, keeping the children entertained. She is so organized and provides great snacks and meals. She even incorporates education materials so the kids are always learning even at a young age! My daughters personal favorite is the dance parties! She is great about working with the parents to make sure schedules and all other needs are met! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Ms. Kristin is great! She treats all the children as if they were her own while maintaining a very organized and professionally run business. Lunch and snacks are included (which saves me time in the morning) and there is a great big fenced in yard for the kids to play. She even has a kid-sized toliet plumbed into the floor to help facilitate potty training. I highly reccommend Dandelion Childcare and Ms. Kristin!
