Childcare provider: Ruth Doughtyobtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Ruth is a breath of fresh air and my daughter has thrived in her care. She gives so much attention and my daughter comes home so happy, showing us new signs and words she has learned. Ruth also sends pics and videos to me while at work that make my heart smile knowing my baby is exploring the park, going to drop in centers and getting lots of outside play. It's amazing to see the difference with Ruth vs the franchise daycare we had her in previously where she was coming home miserable, overstimulated and sick daily."

"Our daughter has been with Ruth for just over a year now. We are so extremely grateful that we have found Ruth as she is excellent with our daughter. She has many activities that she does with the kids that helps them learn and develop motor skills. Ruth is loving, a wonderful cook, and I trust her 100%. Anyone would be lucky to have her."

"We initially met Ruth in 2014, when we placed our 11 month old son with her. She looked after him until he started school. We have always been happy with her care and personal touch, so when our second child (A daughter) needed care the decision was obvious to have her looked after by Ruth. Both of our children have flourished in Ruth's care and they love her dearly. Ruth goes above and beyond, making sure the children have a varied stimulated day, including regular outdoor time, local drop in attendance, and structured home activities. With Ruth, what you see is what you get. I love the way Ruth engages with the children, singing and dancing, turning clean up into a game and providing nutritious homemade food. She truly treats them like family. I have often wondered what we would do without Ruth and would highly recommend her."

"We are so grateful to have found Ruth. From the day we met her, it's evident she loves her job and I knew my 1 year old son would be in good hands. Since then, she has surpassed our expectations. Ruth is very engaged with the kids and treats them as her own. I love watching my son's personality flourish under her care. He has learned to be kind, loving, and sociable. I'm always surprised by new skills and words he learns when he comes home. One year later, Ruth is like family and has made such a positive difference in my son's life already. As I'm welcoming my second child into this world, I hope to have both my kids back with her after my maternity year."

"Having my son in the care of Ruth gave me a sense of relief. My son would be cared for as if it were me doing so! Ruth provides healthy home cooked meals and snacks, a clean safe hygienic environment where both my son and myself are content and happy with. Ruth ventures out daily (weather permitted of course) so that kids always have fresh air and excursions that are always fun and educational! Best part if she follows a routine in which all kids adapt to and can speak maltease! Ruth can offer special requests such as - diet, diaper changes, etc! I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for an amazing home daycare where they can safely leave their children and not have to worry for a second!"

"One of the hardest things about going back to work is leaving your child. Ruth not only did everything to ease the transition for my child, but also eased mine. She treats all of the kids as if they are her own, going above and beyond to ensure they are learning while being cared for. She feeds them quality home cooked nutritious lunch and snacks. All around I know my child is happy and well taken care of with Ruth."

"My son is currently enrolled in Ruth's Happy Hearts Daycare and both my husband and myself are just thrilled with her service. Ruth is a warm and loving daycare provider but she also sets appropriate rules and boundaries for the children. This is my son's first time in daycare and Ruth made his transition seamless. She has also made my transition back to work so easy because I know my child is happy and well taken care of with Ruth. My son is taken on daily outings to the local drop-in center and trips to the park. He eats freshly prepared by Ruth meals and snacks. She teaches him new things everyday including words, colours, manners and ABC's. You will not find a better daycare provider!"

Childcare provider: Ruthobtained services from this family / home daycare, dayhome and I find that:
"Both my husband and I are very happy with the care our almost 2 year old son receives a Ruth's daycare. When we leave our son with Ruth we feel as if we are leaving him with family. She has amazing intuition with what he needs and is constantly teaching him new skills including counting, colors, and ABC's. She keeps a consistent yet flexible routine to fit each child's needs. She is excellent at keeping us up to date and informed with how he has been that day and knows when something is bothering him and doesn't hesitate to call us with any concerns. She is understanding of how hard it can be to leave your child with someone and works hard to insure both child and parents are comfortable with the arrangement. We love having our son with Ruth and will hopefully add our second son to her care in the future."

"I recently had my son in the care of Ruth 4 days a week. He was with Ruth for 4 months and still would be if a personal situation hadnt arisen. When he began he was having bowel issues and needed a strict diet of only fresh foods. Ruth was able to provide home cooked meals and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. She always kept meupto date on what went on during the day and what plans were for the week. She was able to potty train him and taught him many first words, including some Malteese! I highly recommend Ruth and know that you will be very content with your choice."
