I attended a tour of this facility back in August of 2025; I was not pleased nor impressed in anyway. It was during the middle of a school day and no children were present, but I didn’t ask why because I knew that I wouldn’t be enrolling my son here, especially while paying out of pocket. It was an unpleasant scent upon entry. No staff to my recollection had on uniform and only a few had on presentable clothing. The woman who they introduced as their chef/cook had on slides with socks, jeans, and a shirt. The hair was not kemp and it was in a messy bun. I didn’t see how the assistant director (I believe that’s her title) was comfortable introducing me to them. The weekly rates on the paper she gave me were significantly lower than what she told me verbally, which signals inconsistency. The sign states that they open up at 6:30 a.m. but she told me they open at 7:00 a.m—a huge red flag! Many toys seemed to be heavily used and needed to be updated. At this time, they didn’t have the resources/ skills to accommodate students with disabilities (e.g. a speech therapist, ASL trained staff.) Centers of this magnitude, despite being in a home based setting, should hire at least one staff member who has special education training.
Ty HMar 13, 2026Do not let your kids attend this school the owner Ms.Cooper is very sensitive and also said our daughter private parts smell like “fish” out loud in front of the parents and me witch made me uncomfortable. They also share your pampers and wipes with other kids and also found Alcohol in my babies refrigerator with the milk. The whole establishment is unprofessional. Do not let your kids attend this school.
Harold GrantJun 19, 2024This is the most unprofessional daycare I have ever dealt with. They only hire family members. They suspend kids for excessive amount of days because they are understaffed. The owner came out her mouth more than once that they are understaffed and can’t provide kids “extra attention” that’s why they have to suspend them. When asked to see video footage they say the video disappears after a few hours. On top of suspending kids they will sign your name to keep receiving payment for the days they do not watch your kids. The daycare is entirely too small and the parking is dangerous! They are also not keeping up with the Teacher to kid ratio and I have already reported this with the state. They are closed for every vacation the schools are closed and they are not open at 6:30 like the sign says.Please send your kids any where but here !
Tavia WallenFeb 16, 2023My kids attended this school literally 1week ! Ms Cooper isn’t very professional, she made me feel very unwelcome, wouldn’t dare recommend this facility to NOBODY! Based on what I heard & saw she shows favoritism!
tashara kelleyJul 13, 2019My 5 children has been attending this center for about 6 months and when I say they are the best I mean it! The director about the needs of children. I brought my 4 your old on the first day of school not knowing that the center was not Georgia lottery funded. So instead of turning me around she allowed me to continue to bring my son until I got CAPS. I have been excuse on late fees over $100 and not to mention she arrange for pick-up and drop-off for my 5 children at a extremely reasonable rate. I need to relocate but I love this place so much I am willing to make exceptions. I am hard to convince separation when it comes to my children, so what that being said. There like Allstate. Your children are in Great Hands!!!😍😍😍😍
SisTenesha XDec 19, 2018This childcare facility is the best for me hands down! My twins have been here since they were 6wks old and my boys have been here since they were 1 and 4. My kids are well taken care of here. Even with a special needs child the care and love is through the roof!!! The staff members are kind, loving and professional! I love everyone there, my kids have learned so much while being enrolled here. All kids eat full meals and healthy snacks. Ms. Cooper loves every child that steps foot in her doors. I have never had to deal with negativity and favoritism. Kids will be kids and as parents we must know how our kids are. I know my children are in safe hands and I am forever grateful knowing that no one here will mistreat my children! They will continue their stay here until they can’t anymore. Great providers are hard to come by! Volunteer on an off day and see for yourself!!!
