What Parents Say
Barnes Family Child Care Center receives mixed reviews with strong praise from most parents highlighting a clean, structured environment with caring staff who treat children like family. However, two negative reviews raise serious concerns about staff conduct and child safety that warrant investigation.
All 3 of my children attended Barnes Family Childcare and loved it. The environment is clean, structured, and very caring. The children do not sit around all day watching TV. There is a structured curriculum they follow and because the teachers make it fun, the kids don't realize they are doing "school work"!!! If you are looking for a safe and loving environment for your children, absolutely send them to Barnes Family Child Care.
Phenomenal owner and staff who goes above and beyond for the children and won't hesitate to lend a helping hand. I've had no issues. My child has exceeded in academics due to the structured lessons in the classroom, it helped immensely during the transition into the school system. Thank you!
The owner and staff treat you and your children like family. My kids are so happy with all their "Aunties" that they never want to leave!! Anyone looking for a home away from home for your kiddos while you are at work... Absolutely leave your babies here!!!!
The staff are very structured and family oriented, they treat your kids like family, no complaints from me in anyway!
The worst! And I gave them two chances. Do not send your kids to this daycare!
