First and foremost, if you're searching for THE perfect daycare then good luck to you. There is no…read moresuch thing. Only the perfect fit for you and your child. As someone who's child had home care for 2 years I was very apprehensive to send my child to any daycare. Also, being new to the area I didn't have a "shoulder to lean on" so to speak. We had planned on looking at all of the centers in the area before making a decision and even visited 2 of them prior to BP. Upon entering BP and meeting the director (Holly) and a couple of the teachers, I was already sold before they were done there presentation of the center. Their was something warm and inviting that we got from the folks at BP, that we did not feel elsewhere. Fast forward almost 1 year later and our intuition fortunately proved to be spot on. From Day 1 they have provided an excellent environment for our daughter to develop both mentally and socially and they constantly are doing the extra "little things" that we as parents want for our kids. Our child's teachers have been great and I'm in the center enough to know that all age groups are getting the same genuine care and attention. As a matter of fact I liked BP so much I decided to have another child, just so I could send them there. All jokes aside. If you are looking for quality, attentive and safe care at a very reasonable price, I would look no further.

I saw another post about another child potentially being mistreated as well. Just sad

She was just as kind and thoughtful with our now almost two year old and new six week old baby. I had to reschedule this time and she completely understood. I was also very impressed with how she dealt with our toddler. She's a handful and quite independent. I don't know how she did it but the pictures she captured of her were amazing! December 2015 We decided to take family pictures of our six week old with Shira and we were not disappointed! She was so pleasant and professional. We definitely enjoyed working with her. The baby responded very positively to her. I definitely would recommend her to others looking for someone to work with their family. Her edits to the picture were great because they were minimal but enhanced the natural beauty of the pictures. We were able to make great Christmas cards and provide prints for our family across the country. As an aside, she had to reschedule and was very apologetic. We understood but she still compensated us with additional pictures because she knew we were slightly stressed about the timing. She also stayed a little longer to make sure we had options. I'm just sharing as an example of the kind of customer service she offers. Not many are good at that part of the business these days.

My priority was to learn how to use my DSLR without relying on the automatic setting. I had a little experience with some things so first Shira gave me an excellent review then pointed out aspects of the camera completely new to me. AND she wrote out notes on what we discussed! I now have a valuable tailor made cheat sheet. After the camera review we walked around Columbia's Lake Kittamaqundi to apply the lessons learned. Shira is friendly, patient, calming. She is a born teacher. With her help I have become a more confident photographer.
