Idlewild Baptist Child Development Center

These people are not qualified to deal with hyperactive children and help "Develop" them past their issues. Instead they only punish, isolate, and alienate them from their peers. Thus only exacerbating their behavior until the point where they are forced to leave. I once watched one of the women administrators grab a boy by his jaw for chewing gum after the child had said one of the other male administrators gave the gum to them. She dragged the boy by his jaw to the male admin in the gymnasium area pictured, said "Did you give this boy gum?", he said yes, and then she pushed the child away by his jaw and walked off. The man gave no reaction. I also watched this same female administrator encourage other children to gather round and mock another child who was crying on the floor. And the fact that this grown adult employee was able to do both these things and it raise no red flags to their fellow coworkers, indicates that such actions are considered normal and they are all complicit to further similar behavior. I am not opposed to physical punishment of a child, but when such punishment is given without logical justification, It can only be considered one thing...

We truly love working with Idlewild Baptist Child Development Center! We're so happy to partner with a staff that is friendly and helpful!

My daughter had been in 3 different day care before this and it was somewhat traumatic. I was told by a friend and was THE BEST decision i ever made. That 1st day i thought was gonna spend it with her through adaptation but.....a little boy came out of no where and started talking to her, soothing her and invited her to play, my daughter just stood up and said "Bye mommy". have NO COMPLAIN at all, every day my baby would fight because she didn't wanted to leave the daycare and with every season she was soo excited to learn and do many creation with her hands and believe me, they are soooo good with what kids can do themselves and bring home. I have still some tree decoration my daughter did very beautiful and still use them. Just yesterday my daughter was asking me if i could bring her to the school she was when she was a baby. I'm beyond certain this is the place she had in her mind. Thank you all.

I love Ms.Michelle (Director) and Ms. Francis my daughter Is always excited to go, and doesn’t want to leave :) they do a great job with the kids and a great job keeping the parents informed and up-to-date on their child’s daily progress.

The teachers are great and he gets to play in both a playground and gym.
