My family and I have had nothing but a wonderful experience at the Early Enrichment Center. We first enrolled our son in the toddler program. He is now in the preschool room. It is nice to see the owner so involved and dedicated to the center. The director is very kind and makes sure to get to know each family. She is approachable and my son adores her. We are excited to have our soon to be little one join the infant room. The Early Enrichment Center is a wonderful place that provides a safe, nurturing environment for everyone. I highly recommend this center!
If I could give this place negative stars, I would—without hesitation. In my personal experience, this was not a daycare—it was a complete breakdown of trust, safety, and care. Sending your 15 week old to daycare to join the workforce again is heartbreaking enough but this situation was unimaginable. My child attended for less than two months, and I still carry immense guilt for ever enrolling them here. What I personally experienced has left a lasting impact on me as a parent. I did not feel my child was in a clean, safe, or nurturing environment before I decided to terminate enrollment. In my opinion, no parent should have to endure the kind of worry, stress, and regret that I did. What made the situation even worse was the response from management and ownership. In my experience, communication was evasive, accountability was nonexistent, and the level of dishonesty I encountered was truly unbelievable. Rather than taking responsibility or addressing concerns with care, I felt dismissed, misled, and outright gaslit. This experience has shaken my faith in childcare entirely. I now struggle with the idea of trusting any facility again. That alone should speak volumes. From one parent to another: I urge you to do your research, trust your instincts, and protect your child. Speaking only from my own experience—this is not a place I would ever consider again, under any circumstances.
My daughter has been in the infant room since she was 3 months. She is now 10 months and we have loved our experience with this daycare. Miss Mariah is absolutely wonderful, she is so attentive and communicative. I am honestly so impressed at how well they do with keeping up with every little thing and remembering what every baby’s preferences are, as well as keeping the app updated. I love the app! It really helped calm my nerves during her transition into daycare which was really hard for me since this is my first baby. I can see everything she does during the day and the staff are so detailed. I also greatly appreciate how much they post pictures of my daughter. I can tell how much she loves it there, she is always smiling and does great at drop off. It’s so clear how much the staff really care about my little girl, they are excited to see her when she gets there and they are so sweet. They also can tell if she is the slightest bit off or not herself due to not feeling well and they let me know right away. They are easy to get a hold of through the app and are great at following my directions for her. My daughter also naps great at daycare, better than at home, which tells me she is very comfortable there. They do lots of fun/cute activities and send home the projects. We love the infant teachers, but really all of the staff we have interacted with are so pleasant and positive. This center is clean and well kept. The coded lock is nice for security. They do have carts to take the babies outside when it gets warm. Center is always decorated nicely.
So far excellent experience. Both my husband and I are very comfortable leaving our kids in their care, and our kids are doing well with the transition from staying at home with me to full time daycare. Teachers are very attentive and keep us updated daily. Well maintained and clean facility. Comparable tuition with other daycares I looked into. Staff is easy to get a hold of. Perfect location for our work schedules. I would recommend.
The teachers at this facility are amazing. The owner is also very kind. We were fortunate enough to have had Brittany, Melissa, Carol, Megan and Emily, all of which cared incredibly for my daughter. Each of them take great pride in educating and caring for the children under their care, and always ensured the safety and well-being of every child. All of these ladies are kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. We only moved our daughter because we found a more conveniently located daycare near my new job. It worked out better for my family location wise, but I absolutely hated moving our daughter. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare.
