TESTIMONIALS"Kris Zara took care of my son from the time he was born until we left
California. By that time he was two and a half with a baby brother. Kris was
always quick to make us feel at ease when we needed her to watch our boys. Our
children were always safe in the home of a trusted parent who knew the ins and
outs of what children need. Most of all, my oldest son was always happy when it
was time to go see Kris, and sad when the fun was over. I recommend anyone
looking to find someone to care for a child you call Kris Zara."
Stephen Marchion, Accelerated Learning Academy – Southwest, Philadelphia, PA
"As a new mother and preschool teacher myself, I knew exactly what type
of child care provider I wanted for my 10 week old son as I returned to
work. I wanted someone who had a solid knowledge of Child Development,
who understood what infants & toddlers need in order to grow
and learn. Before I found Kris, I looked in to quite a few home day
cares, and I saw a lot of babies stuck in swings or other "holding
devices" during their every waking moment... this is NOT appropriate
for good development! I did not want that for my son. Kris made me feel
at ease leaving my baby; I knew he was getting the care and interaction
he needed. Kris has a calm demeanor, she is caring AND she provides
great experiences for children of all ages."

"I've
known Kris for a little over two years as a fellow employee of the
Amphitheater School Extension Program's care centers. At one point, I
was her supervisor in the older 4th through 6th grade children's
after-school program. At that time I became aware of her ability to
sense where each child was "at" and her appreciation of all their many
personalities. Her expectation was always clear - respect for the
other's person and property, and she exercised it with respect for the
child.
Kris is creative with activities, wholesome in outlook,
dependable, and loves children of all ages. I would not hesitate to
trust my children to her care."
Karen Coburn, Enrichment Specialist, PAL/ASAP Care Centers,
Amphitheater Extension Program.
"Kristine
Zara was under my direct supervision (for 2 years). During that time I
found Kris to be a loving caregiver, who
placed the health, safety, and emtional well-being of her students as
her highest priority."
Adela Ochoa, Team Manager, Walker PAL Program
"Kristine
has a calm and practical way of dealing with the children. She is
consistently patient even at the wildest times. Her committment to her
children is greatly appreciated." Lenda Kaplan, Director, Child
Development Center, Navy Subase
