CIRCLE OF FRIENDS LEARNING CENTER, INC.

I absolutely love this daycare. We had our daughter in another daycare and I was never comfortable, not anything necessarily happened, but I was not comfortable. I will not mention the name of the daycare I am speaking about. .we were on waiting list for Circle friends and they actually let our daughter come a week early and she was in the baby room for one week and then turned one and she went to the next room and experience has been nothing but great. If anything happens to my child, They always call and notify me and almost to the point where it’s frustrating like why are you calling me about this but I appreciate the fact that they call about every scratch, bump, incident with another friend etc. They call me every time. That may have been something that was implemented After the event occurred in 2022 with the fracture in the baby room I don’t know anything about that. I just know that my baby was in the baby room for a week and everyone was amazing. They seem so compassionate and understanding especially being a new nervous mom that had reservations about leaving my child with anyone especially since I had another daycare to compare it to , it’s like night and day difference here. There is a large turn over with teachers. However, 4 teachers that we truly adored caring for our daughter have left for different reasons, ie education, working closer to their home. Etc. All of the staff I’ve come in contact with have been truly amazing. They even tell me specific qualities they admire about my daughter . At the end of the day, yes it’s important to read reviews positive and negative in making a decision where to send your child. I believe there are positive and negative reviews about every daycare in the area.

My son was SEVERELY ABUSED here at 6 months old in the nursery in 2022. One of the staff BROKE HIS SKULL in 2 places which was the result of at least 2 separate blunt force trauma to the head according to his forensics report. Christy the owner did not close her nursery while the investigation was pending and she did not install cameras in the rooms which showed me she DOES NOT care about the safety of our children. Staff changes so frequently there that I never could even tell you who I was going to be picking my children up from that day.

These providers left two skull fractures on my brother in law’s nephew. A physician noted that these fractures were NOT ACCIDENTAL. They harmed this 6 month old BABY, on PURPOSE. Do not allow your children to attend this facility. These people have yet to be held accountable for their actions!!!!

We loved this daycare for 3 years. We had an incident with a newly hired teacher where my child was injured. The director became very defensive and angry. The owner attempted to make excuses for what happened. After pulling my children, I made a report to CPS and the police.

Awesome daycare! Awesome stuff! Everybody is very friendly and communicative! Ms.Peggy is exceptional. She would make you feel that your child is special and very important. She does her job 110%. Area is very clean and well-organized. Feel grateful we have such daycare in Flowood.
