This review is long overdue! When my family and me moved to spartanburg I did hours and hours of…read moreresearch on daycares near us. Southern shops daycare passed with flying colors in every aspect that I could research online! So my wife and I signed up our almost 2 year old to attend. At first he would cry when I would drop him off in the morning. As I expected. But within a few minutes of standing outside, his crying stopped. And I could peak through the window to see him start playing with the other kids. When I would pick him up he was always very happy. And after a while he started to hug the ladies that were caring for him goodbye for the day. This told me that my hours apon hours apon days, and weeks of researching daycares paid off in excellent childcare for my son Hunter. He would still be going here if covid had not forced them to close because of low enrollment. I'm putting this review because they earned it! I'm not the type to give respect till it's earned. And all the ladies and 1 man earned my respect a million times over for caring for my son like he was one of their own!!! My next part of my review is for any other daycare looking for top notch childcare employees. If you see on an application that they worked at southern shops daycare..... look no further, you have found the perfect person for the job! Just hire them! They are always on time and very skilled at what they do! Thank you for reading, I am very sad that covid made them have to close....

They have on video her going to the 2 daycare workers crying and one looks like shes fussing at her the other ignored her. Both times they did not even call her parents. If you slow the video down you can tell she turns around and hears something, puts her hand to her forhead, like oh now what. The other worker looks like shes fussing at my granddaughter. Oh and by coinsidence sound is off. Now shes only 20 months old. Both times they were not watching her and both times didnt tell parents. I cried when i saw this video , these type people do not need to be working with children at all. she will never go back there and they are being reported to DSS.

When I started asking questions about what they were feeding my daughter that's when the retaliation started. I was told my daughter was biting teachers and kids. my daughters last day at that daycare I walked in and she was strapped to the high chair screaming and crying. I asked what was going on and the daycare teacher at the time told me she was in time out for biting. My daughter is 17 months old, at no point should she be sitting in the high chair for time out (She thinks a high chair is for food, not punishment.) When I asked the director what was going on she explained to me my daughter wasn't in the high chair for time out. She was in it to drink "water". She also explained to me that other kids were in a high chair drinking water. There was NO other kids in high chairs eating or drinking. My daughter had snot in her hair all over her face, I picked her up out of the high chair and she was soaked. Her diaper was so full she had pee'd through her clothes and diaper. I asked how long she had been sitting in the high chair and was told just a few minutes before I walked in. This daycare is horrible. My daughter has come home with multiple black eyes. A busted lip. when I asked about the lip incident they told my child's dad that it was because they had ate blackberries, it wasn't blood it was blackberries. My daughters lip was swollen and red for almost a week. They do not pay attention to the kids. They hire any and every body that walks off the streets. They last little old lady that was the teacher in my child's room smelled like cat pee EVERY single day. I mentioned it to the director. NOTHING! Other than blaming my daughter for this and that. This place needs to be shut down. I wonder if the church knows what's really going on behind closed doors? If they do, I wouldn't recommend the church neither. They don't provide kids meals per DSS, they just feed them what's left over. I brought my daughter snacks and meals to eat. They never used them. What's the point of a menu if they don't stick by it? I was paying too much to have my child neglected. If this is the way they treat other people's kids can you imagine how they treated their own!?!? I feel so bad for leaving my daughter there that long and not knowing exactly what was going on. If you leave a review on google or Facebook they will say it's just because we're a upset parent and didn't like that they made your child mind.
