Shirley Mayes Head Start Center

This place has the most outstanding kind hearted ladies that truley care about these kids. My twins have been going there for a couple years now and they absolutely love the girls that work there. During this pandemic I thought the twins wouldn't have the interaction they normally have with society, but Amanda, Meesha, Miranda, Jenna, and Bailey have been great at keeping up with my family and the girls. You ladies rock and the twins are extremely greatful for you. To the most outstanding greatly appreciated ladies here I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. (Sorry if I missed anyone you all are so great)

It was great at first. The ladies in the office were super helpful and kind and the teachers we met acted like they cared about the kids. My daughters loved it there and were learning a lot from the different lessons they offer. What was not great was when DCF was at my door because one of the teachers claimed my house "was a disaster" and my children were smelly. I wont say the teachers name because I would not put it past this person to try and sic some other group on me. When I asked other teachers if my children were dirty in their opinion and they said no. I even cleaned the house before he came to do the home visit so his claims were honestly a bold faced lie. Why he would want to do something like this is beyond me and I would understand if the things he said were true but like I said they are not and I don't know why someone would do that to my kids but I really didn't want to stick around to find out. On top of that the office supervisor gave me the same speech she would give to anyone and treated me like just another name on a page and threatened to call the cops when my husband stormed out. He was not yelling, threatening or anything but just an upset parent but instead of being understanding she just threatened me that if he acts that way my kids will be kicked out. She threatened to kick my kids out because he stormed out not yelling or anything. The other office workers were kind and offered to calm me down when I was beginning to cry when I went in and told them this would be my kids last day and the supervisor actually came in and hovered over like I was not upset enough. Props to the office workers and the teachers who were nice to me and my kids and I wish that my daughters were still there.

Love it here they have awesome teachers and awesome employes. They care about the children like they were their own!
