I cannot praise Kids First FMUC of Trussville enough. We LOVE the teachers and staff here, but I'll…read morekeep my review brief: 1. classrooms are big, bright, sunny, and clean. 2. New playgrounds, with separate play areas for bigs and littles. 3. shaded, smaller play area that is just for toddlers. 4. Plenty of caretakers, and classes are always properly attended (we had an issue with this at another care provider). 5. Large, indoor gym for play during inclement weather. 6. Well-planned, developmentally appropriate lessons, lots of fun activities that my little loves. 7. Did I mention that the staff is caring, warm, open, and communicative? 8. School is organized and efficiently run. 9. Lunch is lunch - no organics or vegetarian options, but otherwise satisfactory, a lot like public school menus. Haven't had any complaints from my little about the food. For Secular moms: The curriculum is definitely Christian, and students attend a brief chapel service every morning, so expect your little to come home singing "god songs" and talking about Jesus. Religious messages are prominent in every classroom (as one would expect in a church-sponsored school).

I have had the same problem with this daycare facility. I…read morewant to feel safe leaving my son at a place that's suppose care and treat children in a loving way. To use the word ministries in their name is an insult to the church!! I've heard teachers there screaming at the kids in the 4 year old class and belittling them. My child was scared of some teachers. The time my child was at for kids only was the most he's ever been sick. Constant stomach viruses, flu, and sinus infections. The staff here also seem to very unprofessional and show favoritism to children and parents. I would never recommend For Kids Only in Trussville to any parent wanting a safe and healthy environment for their children.

When we got there, there was no one at the front desk and we waited and after no one acknowledged us, I stepped into the common area. We were greeted (and i use that term loosley) by the someone who I later found out was the owner. She was not happy that we were there and she was not pleasant. She stated that she didn't schedule appointments, only walk ins.... so whoever answers the phone and the owner apparently didn't communicate that we were coming. Needless to say, if you have a 18 month old.... she won't have an availability until December ( which is what I was told). She did motion for and say "just come on" but from her demeanor I was over her and we left. I'm not sure if she just has terrible customer service or if she was having a bad day or of she was annoyed with her worker for scheduling our appointment, there is a way to handle people appropriately and she did not

There's a sense of community that will make you feel at home, SAFE! They're so kind and helpful with any questions you may have about your little one. I've learned sooo much helpful information through the parent classes, and from my children's teachers. I wish my kids could go here throughout high school! They do tuition based off a pay scale according to your income, and that's a game changer. I can't tell you how much this school changed my life. Plus the office manager, Shunnecia, is wonderful. She remembers every child's name and their caregivers! 10/10 would highly recommend.

PART 1: Let's get straight into it,…read more From the beginning I was well aware that this establishment was not 100% African American friendly, especially for a black male. In my mistakes, I still decided to give them a chance in beliefs that even being you would rather have a facility without black children if a parent did the due diligence to get their child a space there, maybe you would except him like others and not treat him differently because the color of his skin. I WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! This truthfully started way before the school year started with this mandatory orientation that I did make time to attend. I asked upfront did the child have to be present they told me no. I attend the orientation without my son, afterwards I called emailed with little to no communication no one was providing the necessary actions to be taken for the next step of registration. After making a second trip to the facility they told me I didn't qualify to move to the next step because I didn't bring my son to the orientation, I clearly stated that I asked if it was mandatory for him to attend you all said no, but fine set me up for another orientation and I'll bring him. I politely sat through another 2hr orientation to receive the exact same information so that I could register my child. Following I did everything that was asked of me to secure his spot from payments to paperwork. Fast forward, last Wednesday was teacher meet and greet. Wasn't too fun of the teachers Kim and Mary from the initial encounter. My son started crying when it was time to put away toys as any normal 3yr would, Kim decided to slightly touch my back to rush me towards the door saying alrighty see you guys tomorrow like basically hurry up and get out. Thursday was his first day of school, energy not very welcoming with high vibrations, they never say good morning unless you speak first, well take that back...they do just not to myself of my child. Friday he was absent. Returned on Monday. Monday I approached the classroom, Kim handed my a form to sign but never said good morning, I said GOOD MORNING once I get him situated I'll get the form from you. Please don't start talking to me and asking things of me at 8 o'clock in the morning without addressing me with the appropriate manners that you may or may not have been raised with. Tuesday just completely took the cake. Carpool starts at 8:15am. If you want to walk your child in at 8am you can do so. When I arrived at 7:59 there were about 20 parents standing out front. Mrs. Shunecia opened the door and let us in, I walked my son around to the class and once again no good morning but this Kim lady wants to start a conversation and asking me questions. She asked did I carpool, I said carpool starts at 8:15 it's 8am. Then she turned to another teacher and asked were there other parents in the building as if I mysteriously somehow snuck into the building. As a woman with a master's degree and owner of 3 successful businesses please don't insult my intelligence. How about you master the policies and procedures and times that your establishment put in place so that you don't have to learn them from the parent being this is my first day and your 7th year. Ridiculous. The morning started so negative that when I got to work I wanted to go back and get my child. Instead I emailed Lella the director. After going back and forth via email from 8am-3pm we really only went in circles. Only justifying why Kim and Mary have been the way they have. That they are great teachers and her grandson had a great experience with them. Granted her grandson is not Black. Therefore the experience you received and the experience I received are completely different. She goes on to say, my son is unintelligible which is highly insulting being you knew he required speech therapy all the way back from orientation that you so proudly offered. So to insult a 3yr old that is still learning is "unintelligible" and disgusting if you ask me.

We have been going to her for 6 months now and I am in love with her and her whole family. They treat my child like he is there's. He isn't a social baby and doesn't take to strangers at all but loves going to his DeDe. He is 23 months and counts to 10, knows all his colors, knows most shapes, knows all his capital letters and has learned new songs not played at home yet. Ms DeDe is always communicative when we come or go and sends updates when needed. I never feel rushed to leave or like we are a bother even when he's having a meltdown. WE LOVE YOU MS DEDE
