  • I miss this daycare 😔 one of the best daycares my kids ever attended. They help working parents out a lot. I would be back to enroll my son next year 2025. The owner is a sweetheart and very nice and understanding

  • I personally think it’s a good Daycare. There is a routine, there is structure and the children are always exploring and leaning new things. Children learn how to take care of their own needs and manage their feelings and learn how to cope with their emotions.

  • I took my kids a while back. I had to take them out not a good experience for my kids. Its true that they do yell at your kids in their faces. My oldest experience this a lot where the teachers would get in his face and yell at him. They have an old lady that picks up the kids from school. She left my oldest kid at school 2 times with out asking an adult if they were supposed to stay. I know both times my son was in the wrong because he lied to her saying he had after school. But she didn't bother to call me to verify or ask a teacher if to make sure he had to stay. In her own words she said " I said ok and I turn around and walked away. I was not about to go back for him". What would have happen if my son would have walked out of the premises? You paying for their services and giving them the trust to take your kids to school and back. To be so careless like this was a no for me. I tried talking to the owner of the daycare about her employer and her neglegence. She refuse to talk to me and send me her assistant to tell me she's to busy for me. I was completely done with them. I do admit that there are some good people there. I wouldn't not recommend you taking your kids here. Its a freaking zoo.

  • My daughter attended New Beginnings for several years starting at age 2. They educated her, potty trained and taught her how to tie her shoes. Even in 3rd grade she would still attend after school here. She is currently in 7th and is a gifted student. I owe much credit to this facility because they set the foundation to start my Child’s education. I thank everyone there. Ms. Dorothy is such a sweet heart and very understanding. I have grown to love every one there.

  • Do NOT take your kids here!! The assistants are aggressive & speak loudly to the kids. They don’t change the kids diapers til after several hours. Sometimes they don’t even change them at all. They for sure do not wipe them. The employees are there ONLY for a check, they do not care for these kids. Everytime I went to pick up my child there was always a kid/kids crying in the corner, unattended. (They really deserve ZERO stars) This place deserves to be SHUT DOWN.
