GREAT NEW BEGINNINGS OF MIDDLETOWN, INC.

GNB of Middletown is amazing! The teachers are there for the kids and Ms. Jessi and Ms. B greet everyone with a smile each day. The building and hallways are always decorated nicely and it is very inviting when you walk in. The children love looking at the beautiful murals on the hallway walls. The curriculum is top tier and focuses on the individual needs of the specific children in the program. Communication is always professional and timely. We love it!

My granddaughter has been going there for a 6 months, the love and TLC nurturing makes me feel confident when I leave her. The accomplishments and her progress continues to amaze me every day. The staff is friendly, engaging and genuine. I love their transparency, always keeping me informed! Thank you GNB❤️

My child started at GNB at 5 months old. I would warn parents about this facility and germs associated with attending. My baby was sick every other week. If you get paid hourly and don’t have flexibility DONT SEND YOUR BABY HERE! I was called to pickup my child and told she had “Pink Eye”. They don’t have a medical professionals on staff so they’re just guessing. After re-routing to take my baby to Nemours. The pediatrician advised the same day the baby did NOT have “Pink Eye”. This happens too frequently… This is a consistent thing. Uneducated individuals calling you from work with nonsense! I was advised my child had a “blowout” of the diaper. My child was sent home because she pooped. She was 6 months old. That’s what 6 month olds do! If you think the cameras are a good reason to send your baby here just know they don’t work often. Limited area viewing of the nursery. I was questioned about my baby’s formula. They wanted to know if I had added cereal in my baby’s formula. I had bottles premade and baby food packed daily. My pediatrician put my child on a specific formula. I don’t feel the daycare has a right to question what the parents decide to feed an infant. I didn’t provide further detail. Simple things like applying diaper cream you must complete forms. To give the baby Tylenol for teething you must get a Dr’s note and fill out forms. It is not the parents request! If your child has eczema you will need a Dr’s note. They dictate too often. It is impossible to maintain your career and/job. The last straw for us is getting a call that my child banged her head when in their care. The baby should have been watched closely since she isn’t walking yet. Keep in mind the classroom only had 1 or 2 other kids in the room during this time. Injury is when I draw the line. Overall, the daycare is not worth the aggravation and stress put on parents. You realize how ridiculous they’re when you have other children at other schools with zero issues. Also, they should focus on better maintenance of their centers to avoid the spread of illness!!!! I don’t feel the baby items are cleaned thoroughly which continues the spread of germs.

My son went to GNB from 2-4.5 years old and my daughter was there from 6 months to 9 months until we unfortunately needed to move them to a daycare that was closer to the elementary school my son would be going to and offered bus service to the school. The entire staff at GNB was amazing! My son has multiple food allergies and never had one issue while there. They made me feel very confident that even if he had an accidental exposure they would know exactly what to do. My son loved every teacher he had and the baby room had the sweetest teachers too. I was amazed at the stuff my son was learning as he went through the program and feel like he is already fully prepared for kindergarten and still has a year to go. I just can’t say enough good things about the entire staff here and highly recommend them!

I moved to the area in January and I called a dozen daycares to try and find availability for my 4 month old. GNB called me back with an opening thankfully and I couldn’t be more grateful that this was the facility that had availability. My child has been enrolled since he was 5 months old and the care he has received has been amazing. I can truly say that the ladies in the infant room took exceptional care of my child. They are kind and organized and made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby in their care. My child is now in the 1 year old room and I feel the same way about the staff in this class. They are wonderful and sweet and do a great job. The staff alerts me of any incident no matter how small which makes me feel like they are trustworthy and have the best interests of my child.
