Megan has taught Nathaniel so much during his time at Cuddles Academy. Nathaniel can say his ABC's, count to 30, spell his name, clean up after himself, and even get ready on his own, the list goes on. Everyday he would come home excited to share with us the new things he had learned. Not only is Megan awesome at teaching, she is great at making it fun for the kids. We are sad to leave, but hope to be back in the future with Megan.

Words just can't describe how amazing Megan is. My son just loves her so much, Loves going to daycare to see Megan and his friends. He talks about her as if she is a part of our family. We are truly blessed for having Megan in our life for 4 years. Jeremiah has learned so much from Megan. For example, he can write his name, color, numbers 1-20 (more). She's an amazing person!!
We love her so much. I'm really sad to leave. I hope that we will see her again.

There are so many wonderful things about Cuddles Academy! My son has learned more than I could EVER imagin from Megan. His Kindergarten teacher is amazed at how much he knows! But he didn't just learn academics. He has learned to be self sufficient when it comes to cleaning up & getting dressed. He is also aware of other peoples need for their own space & he is very respectful of others. The best part is that he Loves to learn & I believe that is because Megan made learning fun! Well, that and I always knew that he was safe & in good hands when I was as work. To be honest we didn't want to leave. She is amazing!!

Megan has been great to work with and does a spectacular job with the children in her daycare. She communicates well with parents and is flexible with schedule changes when needed. She has a wonderful, positive attitude with the children and is great with motivating them to learn. She does a great job preparing the children for school or the next level in education they need. I would recommend her care to any parent.

Megan is a wonderful person with a kind and caring heart. Her gentle nature shows in the children in her care. I always feel comfortable and safe leaving my child in her care. I'm sad to go because Megan is so awesome but I know the next family whether they deploy or work long hours can have the peace of mind that their child is in a safe, happy learning environment. Thank you Megan for taking care of my little miracle baby.

Thank you so much for your hard work and incredible care and patience! Our daughters loved coming and seeing you everyday. You always have a smile on your face and are so excited to see all of the kids. I hope that every teacher that the girls have throughout their school years shows as much support and love as you did.

Megan's home is extremely clean and well kept. That was the first thing I was looking for in a childcare environment. What most impressed me about Megan was how bright and happy the children were in her care. Megan has taken such great care of my son. Noticing things about his speech and reminding me to follow up with speech therapy. She took the time to sit down with me and my husband to help guide us to the transition to kindergarten. Megan goes above and beyond.

When Owen first began childcare, our intention was for him to learn those valuable social skills we all need. However, throughout his time at Cuddles, he has received more skills, gained specific knowledge to his age, and is becoming a well-mannered young boy. We thank you for your time and efforts and wish you the best in the future.

Megan is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is great with children and the parents. She gives updates and likes to keep the parents up to date on their childrens progress. My oldest son Deion has autism and limited speech. Since Deion has been with Megan his speech has improved and has become more social with his peers. She is patient, kind, and consistent with all the children in her care. I would recommend Megan's daycare to anyone looking for a great daycare provider.

Megan genuinely cares about children and overall well being. My daughter has significantly progressed verbally, intellectually, as well as her motor skills. Alot of that I feel is due to the environment Megan Hanshew provides.

Reason for visiting Cuddles Academy: Ryan attended Cuddles Academy from August 2008 to June 2010.
Comments:
I searched for a place Ryan could call his second home, as he would attend care almost full time. Megan provided a second home and much more. Ryan enjoyed every day at Megans house, playing and learning. He learned manners and how to treat other people. He came home singing songs and telling me how much fun he had at daycare, whether coloring, or building blocks, exploring Megans back yard or riding bikes, always with a helmet! I appreciate Megan for the care and learning environment she provided my son. Ryan is on his way to Preschool now, and his new teachers are very impressed with all his knows, and I give much credit to Megan for that.

Reason for visiting Cuddles Academy: I found a job and need a place we all felt safe and flexible because he was only one years old at the time and his daddy was deployed. Then Meghan agreed to take our newborn the next year. The boys love her and enjoy going to her home.

As a Director at a local charter school I look for someone who will help my children development in many ways.Primarily through play as well as projects. I enjoy that all children are taught manners, expectations are clear and well followed. Anything I ever needed she was willing to help. I enjoyed having my kids tell me that they sang songs today with their friends and danced. They practiced colors while drawing. My boys like going to Meghan's house. She is amazing!

My daughter has been in this care now for 3 years. She loves each day that she goes to Megans house. Even on weekends she wakes up and asks "are we going to Megan's" . Megan is more then just a dependable daycare provider, she is like the childs second mother. She teaches them things that we can not teach them while we are way doing day to day tasks at work. It will be a very sad day when my daughter has to leave her care next year to start Kindergarten because she has been there for so long and i'm afraid that she won't adjust well. But I know that Megan has given her the right tools to move on and become an excellent kindergartner.

Reason for visiting Cuddles Academy: Our son is in daycare at Cuddles Academy.
Comments:
Our son absolutely loves spending time at Cuddles Academy. We moved from Norfolk to San Diego and had a hard time getting a spot at the CDC, so in-home daycare was the best option for us. Our son started with another care provider and had a difficult time with the transition. He didn't care for the provider and was very vocal about it. Since moving him to Cuddles Academy, we have noticed a huge improvement with his attitude. He enjoys his time there and has learned so much. I was especially surprised to discover that he can clap his hands and stomp his feet when asked! Meagan has a unique ability to make kids feel at home with her. More times than I can count, our son hasn?t wanted to leave at the end of the day. Recently a spot opened up at the CDC, but we declined. We feel the kind of care he would have received at the CDC wouldn?t even compare to what he receives from Megan.
