There are not enough words to express, explain, and to show my gratitude and appreciation for Cheri Smith and the Blue Marble Academy for all that they do and represent. When a parent can drop their child/children off at a daycare facility and not worry about them an know that they're in good hands that is a tremendous blessing. God place Cheri in my life many many years ago when I had no choice to place my daughter who at the time was 3 and my son who was 2 in a child care facility. I had knots in my stomach and my worst fears about having to do this and something happening to my children. The first time I met Cheri she possessed so much joy and love it just beamed from her eyes, smile, and later I found out from her heart. She assured me my children would be taken very good care of. 8 years later with the help of the daycare crew and herself she did that plus more. My daughter who is now 19 and my son who is 18 where in the best care of Cheri Smith and because of that my youngest son who is 3 now attends Blue Marble Academy. This facility is operated by the best individuals anyone could hope for. Cheri and her teachers love, encourage, excite, teach, instill, and care for every child like their own. Again I cannot say enough about Cheri and Blue Marble Academy. They have truly been a blessing for myself and my children.
