Heartfelt Reflections

Leaving my 6-month-old baby in care years ago was one of the most difficult experiences I’ve had as a parent, and I completely understand the emotions you may be feeling. That experience is what inspired me to pursue early childhood education, and it drives my commitment to making sure families feel confident and secure in their decision. Whether you’re returning to a job you love or navigating working from home, we’re here to walk alongside you. We believe in building strong partnerships through open communication, always keeping your child’s and family’s needs at the forefront. My hope is that you’ll feel fully supported, knowing your little one is in loving hands and that this transition will bring peace of mind.

As a new mom, the thought of leaving my baby with complete strangers was paralyzing. From the moment I met Shannon and her team I felt like I found a second family for me AND my daughter. They are the most caring and professional individuals in the business, and I am so happy with my decision to trust them as they come alongside my husband and I in raising our daughter." I" would make the same decision to go with Shannon's at Fall Creek.....EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!"

Josh and I just wanted to personally thank you for everything you do to give Everett the safest most nurturing environment you can provide. It warms our hearts to see the pure joy on his face every morning when he is greeted at the door, and the disappointment on his face when I pick him up. 🙂 As a first-time mom and an essential worker it's been such a relief to know that when Everett is in your care he is in the best hands in the business. Josh and I couldn't ask for more. Thank you for everything you do. We appreciate you!

I was thrilled to find a day care in which my daughters would play in a living room, eat in a kitchen, and sleep in a bedroom rather than to be confined to a single room all day. (Shannon's at Fall Creek)

We cannot say enough positive things about Shannon's. We enrolled our son at 12 weeks, and he was there until he aged out. We also enrolled his little sister at 12 weeks, and she was there until we moved. We loved Shannon’s at Fall Creek so much; we kept our daughter at Shannon’s even after our son was going to a new daycare. It was worth two drop offs and pickups. Dropping off your kiddos at daycare can be tough but the teachers at Shannon’s made it easier. The teachers truly care for the children, and we always felt confident the kids were in good hands every day. The kids both still talk about the teachers at Shannon’s. If you are looking for a daycare for your little ones, please consider Shannon’s.

I loved our experience at Shannon's Exclusive Child Care! Everyone working there is so welcoming and friendly. They really take the time to get to know your child. My son unfortunately has quite a few food allergies and everyone at Shannon's stuck with us through figuring them all out and then avoiding them and being prepared if he were to have a reaction while at daycare. Definitely highly recommend Shannon's if you are considering sending your child here.

We moved from the west side to Lawrence to enroll our 9-month-old at SECC (that's how important good quality childcare is for us). We couldn't be happier with our decision. Our baby has strong relationships with his teachers, the environment is clean and organized, and they go above and beyond to adapt to your child's and your family's individual needs. It is big enough, so your child has plenty of space to develop, but family-run, so everyone knows your child's name and what it is going on. The best review is to see my child excited when he gets to see his teachers every day. Thank you, Shannon and Amy, teachers and staff at SECC, we are glad we found you!

Our son has really thrived at Shannon’s. They do so many activities throughout the day, and he seems to really enjoy all the variety. They have a really cool in door gym for days when the weather is bad, and they can’t play in the outdoor playground. He has needed some therapy for being delayed with some of his milestones and they welcome his speech and occupational therapist (who also give glowing reviews of the staff and facility). All the staff know him by name, and I love watching his big smile/excitement when we arrive. They are attentive to his needs and very responsive to messages/communications. They really focus on each child’s individual development and needs. I am so happy to have found a local, family run facility that provides excellent care.
