I was very skeptical and leery of placing my child in another center, considering all the horrible stories you hear about daycare centers and employees; but I wanted to get him somewhere close to home. I am glad I researched and trusted God, as well as the instincts of my 15 month old, who is very hard to please and doesn't take well to everybody. I am beyond pleased and happy with my decision to place him here. He comes home clean, as if I just put on his clothes for the day, I rarely see a spot on him and we have been here since the week of Thanksgiving. He is happy to come and waves bye to everyone when we are leaving. We come from a daycare where I was able to watch him daily throughout the day. It was a very technologically advanced daycare, where he learned baby sign and so many other wonderful things, so you can imagine my hesitance when I needed to cut my daily commute down. Overall, I am beyond happy with Successful Beginnings Learning Center. I love the homework that he has, although it is only coloring. He knows what it is that he is coloring and he is happy to learn. Thank you Successful Beginnings for making my childcare change a wonderful experience.

She is very sweet and informative, and wanted to make sure she understood all the details of the questionnaire I submitted. I was also working with another agency at the time (double dipping I guess) because I wanted to make I was finding the best nanny in the Chicago area. The other agency sent more nannies, and they sent me profiles right away. However, I felt like it was a lot to sift through especially since I didn't feel many of them were a good fit for me and my daughter. The ones I interviewed were just "ok." Bella Nanny sent me two nanny profiles a week after I spoke to Yolanda. I was impressed with both of them for different reasons. Week 2, Yolanda sent me another profile, and I scheduled interviews with all three. It was a hard decision to make, but I ultimately hired one of the three and she has been with us for almost a year. We have a strong relationship, and she is truly part of the family now. Bella Nanny didn't just get nanny profiles over to me to show they had people. They sent people they knew would be a good fit. While the entire process took about 3 weeks, being patient and not wasting time meeting with the wrong people saved me frustration, and a bad decision. Yolanda really listens and really understood what I needed from my nanny regarding experience, and family values. I highly recommend checking them out.

Contacts used the same buzz phrases (i.e. "parents at Small Beginnings are like-minded", "kids receive nutritional meals", "children never wanted to leave"), which made me wonder, but we moved on nonetheless. Awful experience! My son did not receive treatment like it was "mom and dad". I don't mind paying some of the highest rates in Chicago for day care (even home day care), but this facility is not worth 50% of the price. I would not leave my baby/toddler here. The assistants are very nice women, but the owner is another story and I do not recommend hiring her. Ms. Griffin prides herself on administering a high caliber service for parents "who want the best for their kids", but she did not follow simple instructions on caring for our child; complained about diaper changes; and was very combative when addressed with concerns and requests for better service. I had verbalized and written notes regarding our son having meals solely from home. A couple of times I picked him up in the evening and the owner approached me with our meals in-hand announcing, "He ate my food today." However, the deal breaker was when our son repeatedly came home from Small Beginnings with diaper rashes (that would clear up on the weekends with our due diligence, but reappear once returning to Griffin's home). I verbalized, wrote, and texted instructions on the usage of diaper ointment and frequent diaper changes for our son - for a total of four times - before I directly approached Ms. Griffin with the problem. Ms. Griffin rebutted and debated on how the medicine in A&D diaper ointment was harmful to my son; his diet was an issue, etc. Ms. Griffin even bellowed, "Don't you come into MY house making accusations! This is a place of BUSINESS!" I had to remind Ms. Griffin that we were paying for her business and that her business was taking care of our son. Concerns were about our son; therefore, we had a right to "come into her house" and address inadequacies. After taking our son to his pediatrician, the doctor removed almond milk from his diet (which Ms. Griffin suggested we use instead of whole milk), and mentioned that the rash likely resulted from long exposure to wet diapers. After I explained the pediatrician's diagnosis (who has been in practice for over 30 years with Loyola) to Ms. Griffin, she insisted that our doctor was incorrect and that our son was abnormal. Once more, my son NEVER developed diaper rashes at home with his family. The rashes that grew while in Griffin's care would be eradicated after a weekend at home. When I pointed out the oddity of our results versus Ms. Griffin's results, she responded, "Maybe not so strange ... Maybe all the rubbing and so much medicated A&D." We never instructed this woman to "rub" our child's skin. I could just picture her facetiously scrubbing my son's bottom until she hurt him. I did explain to Ms. Griffin that she needed to apply ointment liberally. Additionally, how does our solution at home instigate the problem at her home? After sharing our situation with a lovely Caribbean woman who provides care for the son of a Fortune 500 Company CEO, in her beautiful Jamaican accent she belted, "What!? You're supposed to grease their bottoms!" I visited reputable day care centers and they listed A&D (among other ointments) for infants and preventative care supplies within their contracts! One of the directors even questioned, "Has she ever thought that your son may simply have sensitive skin and there's nothing else to it?" We finally decided to terminate services with Ms. Griffin after our son came home with a rash that was so horrific that the color of his skin was purple! Other cautions and highlights: I mentioned to Ms. Griffin that for her expensive weekly rate (which rivals some of the top day care centers in Chicagoland with waiting lists), we expected excellence. Ms. Griffin sneered to my comment, "$xxx a week ain't a drop in the bucket to pay my water bill." On one occasion I left Ms. Griffin's house on my way to work, but was prompted to stop for milk and return - only to arrive outside of Ms. Griffin's door and hear her slandering me and my son to another parent. This is the kind of unprofessional and immature behavior (and hypocritical of the Christian philosophy that Ms. Griffin claims to practice) to expect. Do not be fooled by the neighborhood or duped into thinking you're leaving your child with Mrs. Huxtable. The Small Beginnings owner is straight up Mz. Jenkins' style!
