Do not recommend this daycare.
My children often come home with bruising, scratches and scrapes with no incident reports. We often had to ask teachers and directors for reports. Almost always, cameras had to be reviewed because teachers explanations did not line up with director’s explanations. My child got pushed so hard that he had a goose egg on his head so large that it required a pediatrician appointment to clear the injury per DHS’s request. When retrieving my child’s items upon leaving the center on the last day, one of my son’s blanket was being used as a window curtain, my other son’s blanket had to be searched for in a storage closet. Their sheets were never located. My daughter’s cup was also lost and my lost property was NOT reimbursed in any fashion. The directors claim their handbook states “lost property is not reimbursed” and they claimed it could have gone home with another child. Upon trying to view their handbook online to confirm that policy, the handbook is blocked from viewing and cannot be accessed to read. They failed to write an incident report for my twins who came home with the bottom of their thighs covered in bruising close to the diaper line, and I heard 4 different excuses for the “reasoning” before cameras were reviewed and the incident was found “inconclusive”. At one point, one of my child’s shoes were missing – turns out he threw it in the trash can (kids ya know?) however; the supervision was so poor that the shoe got tossed into the dumpster in the trash bag and I had to wait close to 20 minutes while directors and multiple teachers searched the entire center for the missing shoe. The dumpster outside was the last place checked and that’s where it was found inside of a trash bag out of the classroom. The only positive thing I have to say is it is a loving staff, however; very poor supervision in the center. Very lacking on communication. I was very disappointed in how they handled my concerns about my childrens’ wellbeing and safety in this center.

My 4-year-old daughter has been fortunate enough to have been part of this wonderful facility since she was an infant, and the care and love she has received has been unparalleled. The staff has been diligent in their attention to her needs because she was a fostercare micropreemie. We were fortunate enough to be able to adopt her. And even now that she is 4 it is still clear that she adores them. I want to emphasize that I’m not swayed by negative reviews on this platform, as I believe they may be fueled by disgruntled former employees who were previously dismissed from the facility. In one instance, I’ve seen a mother-daughter duo who were terminated due to their behavior and are now seeking to tarnish the facility’s reputation.

Another instance that comes to mind is a parent whose child pushed a disabled child and resulted in her child being injured (they had the incidenton camera). While unfortunate, this incident highlights the importance of responsible parenting and the challenges that can arise in any childcare setting.

As a parent who has navigated the childcare landscape for 13 years, I’ve had the opportunity to witness both exceptional and subpar facilities. I can confidently say that Great Beginnings stands out for its commitment to honesty, compassion, and ethical practices. The fact that DHS/CPS has been involved in our experience does not concern me, as it’s a natural process for ensuring the well-being of all children. It’s essential to remember that anyone can file a complaint, and I believe it’s essential to consider the context and motives behind each report.

I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to anyone seeking a nurturing and responsible environment for their child. The staff’s dedication to providing exceptional care and the facility’s commitment to excellence have earned my trust.

It was good until it wasn’t they failed my child and yes Cps and dhs are involved I don’t recommend this daycare this was my daughters first ever daycare and they failed my child…..a very serious incident happened and pretty much just said that children just say stuff and the director just was trying to brush it off and compare my 3 year old to her 9 yr old daughter? …. there is absolutely 0 structure in this facility… the kids here are absolutely out of control…it’s disgusting take what you want from the reviews but the only good reviews are from 3-4 yrs ago lol they will probably delete this review to

It baffles me that people would even begin to THINK I’m lying about the situation that happened with my daughter it’s absolutely sickening ….. I have nothing to lie about neither did my daughter when the situation happened
Some of these reviews are from adults who kids work here
