"It is with great pleasure that I recommend Luciane Ribeiro. From the moment I walked into Children's Connection over four years ago, I could feel the warmth and love that is ever present at this center. Children's Connection is truly unique in its ability to combine a loving environment with that of a school where children two years and older can learn everything from how to share with their friends, hold a paintbrush and learn to imaginatively create, and sing and dance to the music of a pianist who visited the center weekly. Children learn through creative and imaginative play, and interacting with one and other. Both my daughters, extremely different in personalities, thrived under the nurturing and guidance of Luciane. She fosters this wonderful feeling of community among children and their families, and an amazing sense of security..."

"I am delighted to write a letter or recommendation on behalf of Luciane RIbeiro and her fabulous school... My son, Henry, is in his second year at Children's Connection and each day he comes home excited to tell me about the day's adventures. He will frequently declare, 'This was the best school day ever!'"
"I can certainly understand his enthusiasm. Luciane manages to create a stimulating, yet relaxing, environment every day. She excels at following the children's interests and moods and guiding them through a day uniquely tailored to their needs. Henry's school days with Luciane truly reflect the principle that 'children learn best when they are playing and having fun.'"
"I am impressed by the artwork, music, outdoor adventures and writing Luciane is able to guide them through on a daily basis. One possesses a wonderful combination of energy and serenity that engages the children and helps them joyfully experience their time together."

"We are writing in support of Luciane Ribeiro and the Children's Connection of Belmont, MA. We have used this facility for our two children and have been thrilled with their services. Our two children attended from the age of 2 years through 4 years of age. They were consistently eager to go to “Luciane's” and still ask about when they can go back to visit."
"The facility is beautifully set up, spotless, and we have never heard of even a boo-boo happening to any of the children. They always came home with lovely and well thought out art projects. They went outside frequently and were always appropriately dressed. The snacks and meals that she provided were balanced and loved by our children..."

"Our daughter, Isabella Maldarelli, who is now five years old, was a student of Ms. Ribeiro's for three years, and we were extremely pleased with the care and guidance that she provided. From everything we saw during those years, it was apparent that Ms. Ribeiro is wonderful with children, and she always planned interesting activities and projects to occupy the children. She always impressed us as being a capable, friendly, trustworthy, and motivated caregiver. Isabella definitely enjoyed spending time in her care. Furthermore, when we dropped off Isabella to Ms. Ribeiro's home and picked her up later, the home was always orderly, and Ms. Ribeiro was always calmly in charge of the situation. We are so impressed with the level of care Ms. Ribeiro provided to Isabella that we intend to enroll our younger daughter, Katarina, into Ms. Ribeiro's daycare next year."
