Testimonials about Brit & Britt

“Signal pine far exceeded my expectations as a first school for my daughter. The joy of spending much of her time outdoors was immeasurably valuable to us. Both Brits teach a wonderful balance of support and independence. A wonderful school that truly values nature, play, and connection.” - Willow

“Entrusting your young child into someone else’s care can be hard as a parent, though for me, having that teacher be Britt made it so much easier. From [my child’s] first days with Britt, I could immediately see a trusting, loving, and fun relationship was quickly established…I knew from morning drop-offs that Britt was someone my child trusted completely, and when I picked her up or got photos during the day, I could see that [my child’s] day was spent in a world rich with imagination, language, and play. Most importantly, I could see her immense love for Britt, and that her love was generously returned. If you get the opportunity for your child to spend time with Britt, it will be one of the best parenting decisions you’ll make.”

“Our wee toddler is enjoying her time at Signal Pine Playschool! Tromping in the woods, napping in the warmth of the yurt, dancing to musical guests, and listening to stories from the book mobile, she is happy and learning a lot. Brit creates a safe and caring environment allowing our child to explore and play freely and develop independence. As parents, we find Brit to be very loving, trustworthy, and communicative. We are so thankful to have SPP and Brit in our family's lives!”

“Brit’s childcare is a welcoming place that provides just enough structure to help my child feel comfortable and safe but also allows for her to experience independence and take the kinds of risks that help her develop her new toddler skills. Brit helps the kids become aware of how to play safely together in a fun and natural environment where they are freely allowed to be kids.”

“Brit has been providing childcare for our almost two year old child this past year. We could not ask for a better teacher. Brit facilitates lots of fun outdoor adventures and helps the children learn how to play kindly with each other. Everyday our child comes home happy, ready to nap, and with new skills - whether it’s a newfound love for shoveling or asking me to ‘put the toys away please!’ We cannot say enough good things about the quality of care Brit provides!”

“My child’s first experience with childcare was in Brit & Britt’s classroom when he was one and a half years old. Brit & Britt were so knowledgeable, confident, engaging, kind, patient, and nurturing with our whole family during our time with them. Our whole family can’t wait to have the opportunity to re-engage with Brit & Britt. It’s been over a year since our child was last in their classroom, but when I asked him a moment ago if he would want to go back to school with Brit & Britt, he bolted to his feet in the tub and said, ‘Oh yeah!! We go right now?!’ All I have to say is that his Dad and I are similarly enthused.”

“Brit & Britt create a welcome environment where the kids can safely learn and play. They know when to step in and teach or give reminders on behavior and when to step back and let the littles explore on their own. Our kids have always come back enriched from their teaching.”

“When we leave our children in someone’s care, we’re leaving them with a part of ourselves. So when I was searching for providers my focus was on finding someone I could trust. Someone who would care for my children the way I would: with love, caution, humor, and then bring their own skill and wonderment to my children’s lives. I know everyone looks for something different in their childcare provider, but over the last two years Brit & Britt have fulfilled my childcare ideals hand over fist. And when my kids are with them I feel at ease knowing they are in capable hands. I really couldn’t ask for more.”
