New to the area and didn't really check the reviews of this place. I had 8 months twin boys at the time and had several things we had concerns about. One was the attitudes of the daycare workers, one named Moisha and she would tell my mother on accusations very negative remarks about one of my twin boys. My kids stayed sick almost the whole 2 months they were there before we pulled them out. To expand, we picked them up they were ALWAYs dirty- faces weren't wiped, runny noses, crusty food on there clothes and face and looked disheveled. I was 7 months pregnant and they wouldn't help/ offer to take the boys to the car so I would have to carry both boys out to my car. They claimed they couldn't assist in taking the children out even knowing how hard it was on me. I had to bring my mother to help. As we continued to pick the boys up we always dealt with rude attitudes from the assistants in there crawler room they were in. I was very excited to start them at this daycare, but as time went on I changed my mind. One day, after my children were returning to the daycare after contracting hand food and mouth from this place, I texted the teacher after my kids had been out for over a week asking how the twins were doing and she stated "they are fine, you don't need to text me every day asking about them, I will text you if there is a problem" I thought this was very rude and disrespectful as a mother who just had two sick babies out and is asking for an update on how they were getting back acclimated with being back after since they were out over a week. It was about a week after that I pulled them out. I am not one to be knit picky about stuff and understand teachers are busy but this was uncalled for. I would not recommend this place to any parent to put their kids in. Read some of the other reviews. They are pretty bad. read more

I recently moved from out of state to the Gainesville area, and enrolled my son in the Childhood Development Center at First Pres Gainesville, after evaluating several alternatives. I've been very happy with the overall quality of the program, the caregiver-to-child ratio, and the professionalism of the staff. Many of the parents who work at NGHS transferred their children here when the NGHS childcare center closed, which to me is a vote of confidence. In particular, Miss Shanice and Miss Christy have been taking good care of my son, who's been dealing with some separation anxiety after a stressful move. They receive several meals and are checked routinely for wet or dirty diapers. If an accident (even minor), they fill out a form describing the incident, which brings me a lot of peace of mind. In addition, there are multiple security cameras and a unique access code for each parent. I'm very pleased. Great job Tasha and Susan! read more
