Now I can legally tell my story. I was dating an employee here and we had a son. Our son was going to the day care. Her and I broke up. I went to pick up our son from daycare to go spend time with me and my dad (papaw to my son) they tried to deny me from picking up my son. They went as far and try to slam the door on my foot. I had to call the police to get my son. The manager and staff told the cops that me and My dad tried to force ourselves in the daycare. Which was false I had body camera on the entire time. The staff even filed a false report sayin that we had guns. Which again was proven false. When none of their lies worked they said they wanted to trespass me and my dad from the property... in the end the cops had to go in and get my son becuase there was ZERO legal standing for what they did. A dad who pays for the daycare and come get his son Then when it all went to court and my body camera footage was shown it was proved they lied about forceful entry, they lied about us having guns and they had to get rid of the trespass. My son continued here till another daycare had a spot. My son no longer goes to this daycare. So it will never happen again. Wildest thing to me is a bunch of church going people decided to stop a dad from seeing his son. Caused so much drama, made up wild stories, all the way till the cops showed up and gave me my son... I just wanted to make sure this little moment it history lives forever.

One of the best day cares around! They follow state protocol to a T. They have exceptional employees that love their classes and teach Christian based work. Some kids come in anday e struggling in one area or another but by the end of the year they are blooming in knowledge And to see the smile on the kids faces is priceless. They are always doing something with the kids field trips and the Christmas performance is always so cute and fun I would highly recommend to stay care

My children and grand children have been part of this daycare since the beginning. I wouldn’t trust my kids to be anywhere else. Family atmosphere with a staff that truly cares about your children and family!

I sent my son here a couple of years ago and never left a review. His previous daycare Big Blue Bird in Lexington left him outside on the playground by himself for over 10 minutes. I got off work a bit early that day and came to pick him up and they didn't even know where he was. We were very uneasy about sending him anywhere else. First Choice Child Care was an amazing change for us. The staff there cared about my son and his wellbeing. Most importantly they kept him safe. I'm still thankful for them! I really loved the director as well.

We absolutely have loved our time at FIrst Choice in the infant room! The director, Ms. Elizabeth, is amazing and has a heart for the families and children they serve. The infant teachers were so helpful in easing my anxiety about leaving my baby and transitioning back to work. They answered all my questions, sent me updates, and even offered suggestions to the first time momma when I needed support. I’m forever grateful to them for loving our sweet boy!
