Overhills Child Development Center

I would give Overhills Child Development 5 stars. But ONE employee ruined it. It's been almost a year since my children participated at Overhills Childcare. With that being said, I passed the center the other day and It brought back so many horrible memories of how my daughter A'mia and myself were treated by Mrs. Maxine. (I really cant blame no one but myself for allowing it, but I was raised by elders to respect elders; even in there wrong-doing). A'mia was in a lady's class before she was transferred to Ms.Maxine's class and I had 0 complaints. As soon as she went to Ms. Maxine's class It was obvious from the start there would be an issue with her (her attitude and the way she approached me about 'kids being cute and how cute isn't going to get them anywhere in life' (which I feel as though that shouldn't be a topic of discussion for an obvious baby/4 y/o.), I let her talk. Then there she started with the phone calls about Amia's behavior everyDAY. (mind you, I'm in school and working from home all at the same time). My child never had any behavior issues until HER. Mind you,her job was to take care of the child. Meanwhile, I'm having to come get her everyday because she as a childcare worker couldn't handle her, or she was crying too much, or as she said 'getting on her nerves'. Then she would make little comments about 'somethings going on at home' because Amia pulled her shirt up. (Mind you, I monitor my child ALL THE TIME, but there were instances I walked into HER classroom and witnessed 2 little boys 'twerking' on each other & 2 little girls were pulling each others hair and while this was occurring she was coming down the hall from another class... but something's going on in MY HOME. She also kept telling me about getting Amia evaluated; I got her evaluated twice and each doctor told me there was no issue and maybe it was time to move centers because there seems to be targeted malicious animosity towards me an my child. Ok, I still let everything get swept under the rug because why fight hatred with hatred or evil with evil? Then at the Graduation ceremony (for Pre-K) she skipped my daughters speech part. I wasn't aware until AFTER when a family member called and said she had been skipped. I also walked in (she was unaware I was standing at the door) and she was 'coaching' my daughter to say she was SICK. "A'mia, you are sick remember? Ok?" But you meet her she talks about her testimony and Jesus delivered her. This is the exact reasoning to why I am my own church. You walk into church every Sunday but treat a child and a parent that has given the upmost respect to you like you can care less??? ****My daughter also exposed that Ms.Maxine jacked her up by her shirt. (and honestly if I would have known this when it occurred she wouldn't have to worry about any ones kids) Again, another reason I don't trust no one that preaches or does the 'church talk'. Its as though they are trying to convince you that they are a good person or a holy person. But from the day I met her I had a bad intuition that overcame me when I was in her presence. (I've always had discern perception of most people since a child). Fast forward, no daycare or school has complained about Amia. So that tells me all I need to know. I hope Ms. Maxine reads this and I hope she reaps every bad seed shes ever sewn. You can tell shes malevolent person and I wish every action or intention she gave to me and my daughter on HER and her family and her family to come! Everyone else was so sweet and delightful. Again I give everyone except for Maxine 5 stars. Thank you for all you did. --Rasmine R. Message for Director/Owner commenting after my initial post: That reply was a whole bunch of nothing.. but 8 years worth of reviews and not one about The phenomenal, friendly, respectful, loving Ms.Maxine tells a/my story..... It's definitely a great contrivance to have people commenting AFTER I called out her behavior towards me and my child.... it also speaks volumes about this company/establishment to not take accountability and debunk my experience.

I love Overhills. My daughter started here at 10 weeks old. The infant room is great. Mrs. Esther & Mrs. Lavonne really care about their babies and take great care of them. This is the only place I would consider leaving my daughter. It's clean & well kept up. They make you take your shoes off every time you enter the room. Brenda, the director, is also great. She welcomes you every time you walk in the door and takes complaints or issues seriously.

We sent our daughter there a the age of 3 and she loved going. Ms. Maxine is phenomenal. She is great with the children, she keeps me informed and you can tell that she loves her job. It was a pleasure having my daughter there.

Love Ms Maxi. Thank you so much for your dedication and for making such a big difference in my son. We are so grateful for everything you've done. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Not only did I work for this facility for 5 years, but my children attended as well. I could not have felt more comfortable leaving my daughter in the care of the teachers here. Brenda (the owner) and her family have treated every child and their families like their own family. Dropping your child off feels more like leaving them with an aunt or grandma versus a complete stranger like most childcare centers you will come across. Your kids are loved and will thrive. They will learn and play. When I taught there, part of my job was to turn in a weekly curriculum and lesson plan, that would ensure your children hit every developmental milestone, and were more than prepared to move into kindergarten. To this day, I follow up with my former students and their families and they all have said the same thing, OCDC made sure their children were more than prepared and ready for elementary school! This is a huge military population, and no matter how far or how often the families went away, they always kept in touch because it was truly like moving away from family. That alone, speaks volumes.
