Testimonials:
This is truly an awesome learning center! My son has been attending for over 1 1/2 yr and in the first 3 days,at age of 1, he was able to identify & say his numbers, alphabet and geometric shapes!!! I was amazed, because I had not been very successful!!! In the beginning I had to utilize her 24 hrs (SHIFTS Services) for 3 days and my son adjusted and did just fine! Her techniques and curriculum is definitely ahead of the curve! I recommend her services/center to any parent that desire more than the typical “Day Care Center” routine and curriculum.

Talk, Walk & Learn Center has been a God sent. My daughter has been with Ms. Rhonda since 2 mos., she’s 2 1/2 now. Our daughter continues to grow and develop as a toddler. She knows/identifies her colors, shapes, numbers and alphabet. She is taught critical thinking skills and other ways to ask questions. She continues to develop ways to make learning fun and inviting. Since we are not from the area, we enjoy having accessibility to the 24 hr child care. She also incorporates organic foods into their developing diets. She eliminated the abundant amounts of sugars and preservatives. She looks at their developing minds and need for concentration. If you need a date night, mommy day or just someone to truly care for your child on a regular basis… look no more. UPDATE: Our last baby daughter attends here.

We have been so bless to have found Ms. Rhonda!!! Our son started Talk, Walk & Learn Center at age of 8 wks. Shortly after he started with Ms. Rhonda, he was sitting up by himself. He has gone through “Baby Boot Camp” (an advanced tummy time) which I love!! He advanced in his development. I would not trade Ms. Rhonda for nothing. She gives excellent service to the parents as well and welcomes all questions you may have concerning your child’s stay. I can go on and on about the many learning and developmental activities she provides, but I’d be here all day. We love you Ms. Rhonda and continue to do what you do best!!!!!

There is something to be said for living close to your family members, my husband and I both work in retail and on December 16th our wonderful son made his debut. Those 6 weeks flew by and we considered ourselves to be prepared. WELL, NO WE WERE NOT!!! our childcare provider was unreliable to say the least, would call in sick at last minute before I would take my son to drop off. Imagine this, 30 minutes before work and no child care, “sorry something came up” and no family to call. then we found TALK, WALK & LEARN CENTER, LLC and received dependability and the commitment we needed was always there. ms. rhonda provides excellent care for our baby and peace of mind for us. When I drop him off it’s almost like taking him to our moms for the day. we love ms. rhonda and… it feels like we have family here now.

I trust the care of my child with Ms. Teague.She is flexible with hours of care day, night and weekend.We had two business trips lasting a week each, Ms. Teague had no problem in caring for my child. UPDATE: I want to thank you for helping to raise our children and teaching them. I appreciate you for that.
-Joe
My child was provided a safe and loving environment, a second home as said by my child. Ms. Teague also taught him skills and qualities of a productive member of a community. Ms. Teague provided great advice, how to set goals and ease my fears about night care.

My son has been with you since 3 mos., now over 2 yrs old; though he’s not with you any more, I want to thank you for all you’ve done for him. I and my parents can see how he has grown while with you, he is a little person with confidence, getting an understanding of his neighborhood above all we are understanding him. We are so appreciative of your work and please don’t change it cause it works. I thank you for working with me as well after the divorce. I have a stronger understanding of my role in his life.Update: I called to tell you how impressed my son’s teachers were with his knowledge base. They were amazed at how he is ahead of his class. We, as parents, take the credit but it was your hard work and dedication to him. They wanted to know where he attended before coming to them? I didn’t hesitate in telling them Rhonda Teague. Thank you, thank you so much.

I highly recommend this “unique” service to those seeking safe, professional, caring and trustworthy childcare (not daycare). I am so thankful & grateful to have found them as they met all my needs. I met and talked with Ms. Rhonda for hours. She answered my questions and led me to other questions I should ask. I was impressed. My son started, then age 4, in Oct. He has learned to speak Proper English, some Spanish, some reading, some simple sentences, 18 geometrical shapes, colors other than primary, the community, geography of the USA, the world and the list goes on. He’s now going to Kindergarten. Ms Rhonda has helped and given me so much parenting advice. She’s the Best! UPDATE: I still use SHIFTS Night Care Ctr. for night care, because of my job, I’ve set goals in getting my son prepared for 1st grade, Ms. Rhonda works with him in strengthening reading, creating art projects- She does not interpret their work. She says “they are the artists, they will tell what they make and not make adjustments to please you, taking their creative thoughts.” He is given time for respite from school as well. She loans him reading books that are 1st and 2nd grade.

Ms. Teague is by far one of the best child care providers in the state. My son has blossomed in such a short time span. Ms. Teague has her own way of communicating with the children that helps their personalities flourish! I do not feel as if I am placing my child in a child care facility, where every child is a number or dollar signs. It is more of a precursor to the schooling systems. She has demonstrated how she merges her style of teaching with modern day skills needed to blend and adapt to everyday society. I highly recommend Talk, Walk & Learn Center to anyone who is in need of REAL child care services. UPDATE: My goals for my child for the 1st year were surpassed. In his 2nd year goals, I want to see this continuous upward path. You’ve taught him to recognize 3 states on 2 different maps in 1 day and 3 weeks later he can still show on maps. What a pleasant shock.
