This bilingual center provides home cooked meals & limits screen time, my kids are always happy to go in the morning and have made friends with others as most everyone stays long term!

This is by far the WORST daycare in the CSRA!!! The female owner (Rosa) is VERY RUDE to her staff…read moreand constantly speaks in Spanish about her American employees to her Spanish speaking employees while in front of them and she also tells the children "POW POW" while hitting her hands together in front of them, which to me is unacceptable!!!! The food that they serve the children is extremely NASTY (inmates in prison get better food than these kids!!) and they serve the same food week after week after week!!! The children are never given an adequate amount of liquids to drink at each meal!!! Also they only change the children if they are poop or extremely wet.....if they have just a lil bit of pee in their diaper they make the child continue to wear the same diaper til next diaper change (which is 2 hours later!!!) Their infants are with one and 2 year olds all day, which is against state guidelines!!! They leave their 3-4 year olds unattended at various times throughout the day, which is not legal at all!!!! They only allow children to play with ONE TOY, like how in the heck is a child supposed to role play or use their imaginable capabilities with ONE toy? They don't allow their staff to talk to parents, heck the staff is afraid to even tell parents good morning or have a good day!!!

Placing my child's safety in someone else's hands is something my husband and I don't take lightly. This facility has been a godsend! Management and staff are amazing. We currently have a 4 and 1 year old attending. My 4 year old has grown up around many of the staff and loves them dearly. I never have issues with cleanliness and they have been wonderful working around our 1 year olds food allergies to nearly everything. Cost has gone up on occasion, but they have actually made improvements to the classrooms and purchased a new bus. We don't mind the rate increase when we can see the money being put to good use. I have, and will continue to recommend this amazing facility to anyone in need of childcare. They will treat you and your children like family, not customers.

We are so grateful to the BeeHive Preschool. Our daughter has learned and grown so much in the last…read moreyear, and we can't wait for her to start up again next year. The program is a wonderful balance of structured group activities and free learning, with an emphasis on creativity and character development. Concepts like the alphabet, seasons, numbers, and days of the week are introduced in a fun, gradual way. The thing that really sets the Beehive apart is the warmth and caring extended by the teachers, parents, and kids. Ms. Ertz and Ms. Chesser genuinely love their work and absolutely pour themselves into what they do. They truly do an incredible job and "bring it" every single day. I have gotten more than a couple parenting tips from watching the expert way they are able to soothe high emotions and create an environment where the kids are motivated to act with kindness and respect. Finally, I would like to say that my daughter is seriously ecstatic about her teachers, friends, and all the activities she does at school. She constantly pretends to be a teacher at home now, and she has learned so much from the other kids (thanks to a lot of gentle teacher guidance) about sharing, kindness, and the joys of being a good friend. I whole-heartedly recommend the Bee Hive for anyone who celebrates childhood and wants a holistic, intelligent, loving preschool program for their little one.

The week that they opened, my child was allowed to go one day before they denied her back due to misunderstandings on THEIR part. So this is three weeks in a row I was not able to go to work. So by the 3rd week I was not paid for calling out and then as a result of not working in office for 3 weeks in a row, I was fired. When I tried to come up with a solution(only pay for the one day my child was allowed in daycare) I was ignored. Fast forward a month and a half later every single week had been paid, yet they still refused to work with me on the one week that was denied service. When told I was ultimately fired due to the lack of daycare, they said they were sorry I was fired due to them but they were still firm on needing their FULL payment. If you want a family oriented place DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD HERE! If they do not care about struggling parents that are only struggling because of them, They do not care for your kids.

Our family was with Ft. Steam in Augusta for many years, dating back to when the co-owner taught…read moreart out of her home. While we were long-time members, a recent failure by management to handle a situation professionally forced us to withdraw before the year was up. I am sharing our experience to help other parents make an informed decision. Following a peer rumor that inadvertently involved the business, my minor daughter proactively requested a meeting with the owners to clarify the situation. Given our long history, she expected a safe, moderated environment. Instead, we found the meeting to be hostile. In our experience, the co-owner spoke to my daughter in an aggressively loud and elevated tone before she could finish speaking. The situation felt so unsafe and unprovoked that I felt compelled to physically remove my child from the room, as the owner could not de-escalate the interaction. When my husband subsequently met with the owners to address this behavior, we felt there was a complete lack of accountability or apology. Furthermore, during this discussion, the owners shared details regarding another child's past behavioral history by name. This lack of discretion left us with no confidence that student privacy is respected behind closed doors. Worse, we learned that instead of mitigating the peer conflict, leadership allegedly instructed other teens in the program to focus their grievances toward our daughter and another student. While we understand that business owners cannot prevent outside rumors, the way this peer conflict was handled felt entirely inappropriate for educators responsible for minors. While families may have a fine experience when things run smoothly, our situation completely changed how we view this leadership. In our opinion, Ft. Steam handles conflict poorly and does not maintain the level of professionalism or student privacy we expect from an educational environment. Since sharing our experience, there have reportedly been threats of legal action toward individuals and groups connected to discussions about Ft. Steam and their handling of similar interactions.
