Letter's of Recommendation
September 18th 2020
Tiny Turtles Childcare is the best at home daycare any parent could ask for. Michelle provides Montessori based learning style for the children, yet providing the warm loving care of home.
My daughter was a preemie and had troubles with speech. Michelle taught her sign language, which helped tremendously, as her frustration had grown with not being able to properly convey what she wanted. My daughter knows all of her colors, can count to 15, now has a wide vocabulary, and has learned great social skills. With story time, arts and crafts, sing alongs and more. She has a large backyard with all the toys any child would ever want.
Michelle also feeds her little turtles so well. Also they will not live off juice. Milk or water, with the exception of a nutritious fruit smoothie.
Michelle also went above and beyond, and customized her schedule to fit ours.
I can not express the amount of comfort my husband and I had when my children were in her care. We love and miss her dearly, as we had to move away.

Felt like a second home to our daughter. So warm and welcoming. From the time our daughter went until the time we left due to a military move our fears and worries were never insight. Michelle treated our daughter like her own and Finley never wanted to leave when we picked her up. The report cards every week, the crafts, songs, constant pictures, videos and always were so enjoyable. Our little Finley sure miss her Mimi.

Re: Michelle Seguin and Tiny Turtles Daycare
June 2009
Dear parents,
Our son William attended Michelle's home daycare for 3 years, until he started Kindergarten. He was always given lots of TLC and attention.
Michelle's ECE degree assures that the children receive intellectual stimulus through various art projects, stories and imaginary play, as well as the basic nursery rhymes, ABC's and 1,2,3's.
William was well prepared to start formal school, both socially and academically. Michelle is very organized, and this helps the kids to follow rules and to know what is expected of them. Sharing and respect for others are just two of the big values that the child will learn at Michelle's (and when to give a hug!)
Michelle was always willing to help us out by also taking our oldest son Simon on pedagocial days when school was closed, or during the summer months.
As working parents, it was a relief to find such caring, competent and safe child care for our son.
Please consider this as a letter of recommendation for Michelle Seguin and her home daycare. If you require further info, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

Re: Michelle Seguin, Tiny Turtles Daycare
Please accept this letter to recommend the child care services of Michelle Seguin of Tiny Turtles Daycare
My son is 18 months old and has attended daycare tiny turtles since January of 2009.
Michelle is consistently loving and kind with the children who come to her daycare. She is professional with respect to the records she keeps for each child; vaccination records, emergency contact, etc.
My son races to her door everyday. He is well fed and rested while he is with Michelle. He is learning new skills and socializing well with other children. Most recently, Michelle noted his ability to stack blocks and other objects, remarking on his improved fine-motor skills. I receive regular phone calls detailing my son’s progress and also his transgressions into bad behaviour. Any bad behaviour is dealt with in a timeout.
As well as improving his social and motor skills, my son has also learned how to be helpful. At home he now helps to clean up all his toys when it’s time to put them away.
Michelle Seguin approaches child-care with the well-being of the whole child in mind. She doesn’t simply care for their basic needs. She ensures that their social skills are being improved. They are exposed to learning numbers and letters. They read and dance and play outside. The children learn how to be responsible and they also learn that there are consequences to rule breaking. They are in a loving and fun environment when they’re in her care. When my son leaves, he is happy and satisfied. This allows me to feel confident that he is spending his time away from me smiling and enjoying his day.
Regards,
Sara Kurtz.
