  • If I could put negative stars I definitely would. This daycare is trash and the fact that it’s attached to a church is concerning. Staff member decided that it was okay to abuse my child just because she was not “following directions or listening”. Instead of taking accountability or even saying something/disciplining that staff member that did it, they got defensive and discharged my daughter from the daycare. It doesn’t matter anyway because wasn’t going to attend after that anyway. I guess they thought my daughter wasn’t going to say something. I do not play about my child. If you feel the need to put your hands on child that is not yours while the parent has left them in your “safety” then you should NOT be in this type of field of work. pathetic daycare, pathetic staff and pathetic employees! DO NOT BRING YOUR KID HERE AND IF YOU DO THAT MEANS YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF YOUR CHILD!!!! Simple

  • I would not recommend anyone to send your child to this center under the direction of Ed. He is the most unprofessional condescending human I've ever encountered. They are currently withholding and deleting information regarding my son and an incident that happened earlier this week. I've tried to speak with him about this matter he was not listening and totally disregarded concerns about my child. He stated he was not listening and kept me on mute. Again the most unprofessional director I've ever encountered and I've taken things a step further above his head I do not play about the well being of my child or the other children that attend this daycare. They lack supervision and control of classrooms. Ed is also not aware of anything taking place in this facility he sits in an office all day clearly. Think twice before you enroll your child here. That is all. 😊

  • I have had all three of my children here. They take great care of the kids and are wonderful to work with. I love Growing Minds.

  • They don't thoroughly clean/check the babies/kids diapers/underwear. Then when brought up by a parent, instead of apologizing and admitting that someone messed up they defend the daycare worker and basically say the parent is wrong.
