The facilities all over campus are well kept and beautiful. The staff and teachers are always helpful if you need anything. Brock Hall is beautiful with the high ceilings and grand piano on center stage. Samford has many different areas to study. While many study liberal arts such as music, I graduated with my doctorate of pharmacy degree. Samford also hosts many events so come visit when you can.

Despite great professors and decent academics, Samford is a dumpster fire. They have admitted way…read moretoo many students to the point that simply walking from one building to another as become a free-for-all where everyone has to push and shove past each other. Additionally, there no longer seems to much standards of who they accept into the college. No ACT or SAT scores are needed, and not even a minimum GPA is required. As a result, recent years have seen a drastic increase in students who are not prepared for college and many who have not yet outgrown their high school mentality. In short, Samford has chosen quantity over quality. They are currently far more concerned with making money than they are with the well-being of their students, faculty, and academics. I do not recommend this university at this time.

While kids will have their up and down days and hours, the teachers are pretty resilient and handle the little ones well. Leaving your child at a daycare for hours or an entire day while you work can be nerve wracking. Here, I have found confidence in letting my little one grow and explore.

My son previously experienced difficulties at another school, which led to some behavioral…read morechallenges. Before enrolling him at this center, I explained his history to the director and shared video examples of his behavior. She assured me they would be able to support him and provide one-on-one attention when needed. When he started in August 2025, things initially went well. Later, my older children, who attend the after-school program, told me they saw a staff member physically redirect my son, and after that he began having more behavioral issues. The center had told me they would only call in an emergency, but I began receiving daily calls to pick him up. I was also told that if I could not come immediately, he would not be able to attend the next day. The director was often at another location, which made communication difficult, and I sometimes received different information from staff and management. My children also mentioned that cameras were not functioning properly and that to them the water had an unpleasant smell. I was unaware of this until they told me, but it concerned me because they were always very thirsty when I picked them up. I also experienced billing issues, such as being charged during the summer when my children were not present, although these charges were eventually corrected after I was instructed to provided proof. I also observed inconsistent policy enforcement. For example, I was once asked to pick up my son for having one loose stool even though the written policy states three. When I questioned this, I was later told it had been an error. Over time, I felt my son was being handled differently than other children. He was allegedly sometimes not allowed to go outside or was allegedly restricted to using only one toy. Staff called me to pick my son up due to claims that he was throwing chairs. When I requested that staff take the chair, and informed them I was unable to leave, I was informed by a staff member the police would be called on my son 3 year old son and I could pick my son up from the Calera Police Department. Staff told me he could not return the day after this incident, which ultimately led me to withdraw both him and his sibling. In addition to my own experiences, I was approached by multiple staff members -- some currently working at the facility and some who are no longer there -- starting over the summer before my children even got back there until they left, who shared their personal concerns about how certain situations were handled inside the center. Hearing these concerns directly from employees contributed to my overall discomfort and my decision to remove my child from the program.

What working parent can pick their child up by 4:30 M-T and by 3:30 on Friday? If we wanted that, we'd do MDO. Also, they send children home for no reason and only text and don't call. They are short staffed and do not promote children to the next class timely. They are poorly managed and I would give zero stars if I could.

Turn over was so high and the teachers were at times not trustworthy at all. Curriculum is scattered and not on the correct level of each child. All over the board!
