My infant has been attending Eastminster for a while now…. And I can’t rave enough about the baby room. Ms. Marsha and Ms. Monét are great! While Ms. Marsha gives a warm and welcoming vibe. Ms. Monet gives and warm smile and loving energy. Everyone at the daycare takes care to speak and welcome you as well as go out of their way to help. Any questions or concerns you may have as a parent are handled very promptly and professionally. They give a daily sheet and reminder me of anything my baby may get low on throughout the week. Making my day a bit easier. The daycare is secured and you cannot gain access you sign in at the front desk reception area. Keeping everyone safe and also keeping record of who comes and goes. I’ll wrap it up by saying my daughters teachers Ms. Marsha and Ms. Monet are the best I feel like I’m leaving my baby with family daily!!!!!!! 🫶🏾

This was the 1st daycare experience I had. It all seemed to be going very well until I found out the payments I had been making were being pocketed from on of the employees. When I reported the incident I was told the employee has been with them for several years and nothing like this has ever been reported. I was told I needed to pay the $500+ balance on my account or find another daycare. I was in complete disbelief. I would not be able to continue to work with this organization no matter how good everything else was because I could no longer trust them. Out of all people and places this could have happened I would have never thought from a church I would experience this. I’m extremely disappointed that my report was not further investigated. May God have mercy on that lady soul and I pray she stopped her wrong doings and ask God for forgiveness and confess to her crimes publicly!

The administration at this organization do things that people who claim to be of God should never do. Very crooked, dishonest and not trustworthy. And this is a church. I’m very disappointed by they way the daycare is handled and even more disappointed at who the church put in charge.
