Faith & Family Early Learning Center

This was the first daycare my children have ever attended, and as a parent, I came in with so much hope — hoping my kids would feel safe, loved, and cared for while away from home. Sadly, over the last few months, things have gone downhill, and it’s been heartbreaking to witness. I’ve noticed some teachers seem to avoid certain kids, including mine. There have been multiple times when I’ve walked in to pick up my children and heard staff yelling at the kids instead of calmly handling situations. That kind of environment doesn’t feel nurturing — it feels stressful and unsettling. One of my biggest concerns is that my child has come home with multiple bite marks in a single week. It’s confusing and frustrating that the child doing the biting remains in the classroom, without being sent home or taking any time away. It makes me question the safety measures in place for all the kids. It’s also been extremely difficult to speak with the director — she’s rarely there, and I feel like I don’t have a voice when I need to raise concerns or ask important questions. As a parent, I’ve now developed a real fear of sending my children to daycare, which is devastating. What hurts even more is walking into my child’s room and being hit by a strong odor — the kind that clings to my baby when we leave. It kills me inside knowing they’re sitting in that environment all day. And perhaps most heartbreaking of all is seeing babies left crying in their cribs, peeking their heads out, clearly looking for someone to comfort them — to love on them — and being ignored. This is not the kind of care any child deserves. I truly hope this review encourages the leadership to take a serious look at what’s going on and make some much-needed changes because our children deserve better

Please don't take your children to this place. The director is unprofessional. She allows her son to bite other children, and she does nothing. She also allowed another parent's child to choke another child, and she does nothing. These children still go to the center. Also, the director says that she involves herself in the classroom NOT! Please roll back the camera. I truly think that because she and her husband are in a financial debt that she tends to take it out on the other staff. The director will laugh and grin in your face but will go behind your back and fire you through text or email. That is unprofessional. Also recently, there were roaches and ants in the daycare. Christian/Director told the parents that they wanted to do an inservice, so if they could not bring the children to day care to not do so.

I had my daughter at f&f for over a year before my employment changed and will be returning her to the center once it's feasible again. I enrolled my daughter at 3 months and she stayed until 14. The whole time the staff was very friendly and helpful, and was great with handling an exclusively breast fed and cloth diapered baby. There always seemed to be plenty of staff and the directors helped out where needed. I would recommend this facility to anybody. Note: This is a state licensed daycare so there are state mandated rules that every daycare must follow. This includes the babies sleeping on firm surfaces without blankets or bibs on. A pacifier is allowed. This facility has some of the better staff to child ratios that I know of. If you need more than f&f has to offer, then you'll be left looking for a nanny.

My daughter has been going to this daycare since she was about 8 weeks old I believe. I was worried because she was my first and she was so young. They took such good care of her, now she almost 2 and she loves going to daycare. They are the most caring people, and they love each and every child there. I am so glad I picked them as my daycare for my daughter! She learning so much from them!

I can NOT express enough how absolutely WONDERFUL, AMAZING, CARING, ATTENTIVE and POSITIVE this school is! The staff is so kind and very respectful. It is such a comfortable environment and you can leave you children at school knowing they are in the best hands. My heart broke when we had to move them to another school because of a new job. I cried and still do when my son talks about his friends and his favorite teacher, Ms. Carmina. The patience she has with 3 year olds is beyond heroic. My son learned to count in Spanish and the pledge at age 3! I highly encourage you to bring your children here. It just doesn’t get any better! Kidd and Cru miss y’all, Faith and Family
