I absolutely love this daycare! As a first-time mom, going back to work was incredibly difficult,…read moreso finding a place I could truly trust with my baby was so important to me. Choosing Happy Hearts was the best decision I could have made. The teachers are wonderful, the community feels so close-knit, and their flexibility makes a huge difference. Most of all, you can tell how much each teacher genuinely cares for the children. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing my baby is happy and well cared for while I'm at work. Since starting this daycare, I've noticed my son is hitting milestones quicker and love that he is getting socialization at such an early age. As he grows, I'm excited for him to get to explore: more education opportunities, support with potty training, and to participate in all the fun events they do! A special shout-out to the teachers I've gotten to know and absolutely love: Jazlyn, Anna, Bekah, Destinee, and Summer!

I wouldn't recommend working at this daycare. When I first…read morestarted, I was genuinely excited. I'm a single mom, and I chose this place not just to work, but to also have my twin boys enrolled so I could be closer to them. Sadly, what began as a hopeful opportunity quickly became one of the most toxic and disappointing work environments I've ever experienced. A teacher I initially trusted (my children's teacher) ended up mom-shaming me to my face and behind my back questioning if my children could sing their ABCs, count, or put on shoes, and even suggesting they weren't "smart enough" to be in her class (despite her own son being the same age). She pushed to have them moved down into my classroom and later, when I experienced a serious medical issue at work, she told others I was "faking it." What I went through medically was something beyond my control and deeply personal. To have it dismissed like that was beyond hurtful. I addressed my concerns respectfully and privately with the owner. Instead of addressing the issue directly, she sent out a vague message to staff about gossip but never followed up or took further action. ( which I asked for )That teacher continued to be unkind and unprofessional, including making comments about me not deserving donated diapers for my kids. I asked multiple times for a group meeting to resolve everything calmly and constructively. It never happened. I felt so unsupported, disrespected, and anxious every day at work that I ultimately quit even though I didn't have another job lined up. That should tell you how emotionally exhausting it had become. Before leaving, I shared my disappointment in the staff communication thread not to be dramatic, but because I believe people should treat each other better, especially in a space meant to nurture children. Instead of acknowledging the problem, my message was deleted, ignored, and swept under the rug. Since then, I've heard several more staff members have quit for the same reasons I did. Yet the same individuals who were creating the toxic environment continue to be protected. I truly don't understand why. As for the daycare itself the children are not in danger, and many of the caregivers genuinely do their best. But I do believe the classrooms are too small, outdoor time is limited (30 minutes a day), and efforts to reduce outside play due to "staff interactions" is not in the best interest of the kids. When teacher turnover is high and staff morale is low, that inevitably affects the children, too.

I love that they have a controlled entry system at the front door and cameras watching every area. Inside, the classrooms are large, bright, clean, and decked out with quality, developmentally appropriate furnishings and playthings. The outside areas are well-equipped and fenced. The employees are very friendly and made my son feel at ease immediately. The tuition is (what I believe to be) a bargain for such quality. I also appreciate that it is a peanut-free zone, since my son may have an allergy. A nice extra - they offer optional activities (with fees) such as soccer, dance, and music. I am thrilled to have found this place!

Nature's Childcare staff and the entire business made me feel very comfortable with going back to work. There is video monitoring in each room (not viewable from my work computer, which I actually prefer) so if there is an event, it can be reviewed. The center is secure and entire staff is well trained. The management are VERY aware of what is going on in each room and the communication between staff and parent is excellent. Each room has 'Teachers' and they actually teach, which I am always impressed with. I now have three children in Nature's Childcare and wouldn't dare go anywhere else for childcare. I wish every day care center was as impressive as this one! I can honestly say that I would not be back to work if it weren't for Nature's Childcare. Thank you! Thank you!

I removed my son from Precious Hands Academy Meridian in the middle of last year and I am ashamed…read morethat I am just now posting the facts of why, but it was a lot to cope with while separating from his father, working full-time and not being able to press charges. I have read too many things to not at this point. April 27, 2022 - I received a call that my child's hand had been closed in the outside door and that it was "pretty messed up". Living 2 blocks away I rushed there in 2 minutes, picked him up, and took him to the urgent care behind the center. He had an x-ray and due to his bones not being fully developed, we were lucky it wasn't broken. Okay, mistakes happen.. July 20th, 2022 - I picked up my son from daycare and the lady from his 2's classroom mentioned he had a rash, and that it "was a struggle to change his diaper, it took them a while and he was really upset". My first question was "why didn't you call me", they knew I lived two blocks away and work from home. When I got him home I immediately went to check and found a diaper rash that looked like burn marks. He was in excruciating pain. I scheduled a meeting with the owner in the morning who apologized profusely and blamed it on "needing to provide the girls better training", I felt a bit uneasy but I was reassured she would personally be checking on him every hour, they texted me throughout the day, moved him to the upper 2's class with my niece that was verbal and I picked him up early. Why I left him another day.. breaks my heart and makes me feel like such a terrible mom. July 21st, 2022 - I went to change my sons diaper in the morning and found bruised handprints appearing on his inner thighs. I sent pictures to the owner and said he would not be coming back. I called the police immediately and they came to take a statement and scheduled me an appointment with child abuse investigators. During that appointment, the investigator said this was obvious signs of child abuse based on the rash and bruising. She also confirmed 5 days after the bruising began to show (that's how bad it was) that she had no doubt they were handprints, and cried with me. Two days later, I received a call from the detective who said that because the daycare did not admit to holding him down, there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute and they were forced to drop my case. I documented everything, I followed all of the right steps.. when I reached out asking for others to message me their experiences, the over-pour of messages was horrendous. I documented all of those and sent them to the detective, still nothing. I cannot share those stories since there is no evidence. My niece came home one day after wearing the same diaper from 12:15-6:15, they blamed it on shift change. (documented) Both children came home thirsty every day. They let them play outside in high temperatures. Sugar was everywhere. Candy, dumdums we're given to 2 year olds, my niece swallowed one and choked on it. I believe it was my mom who smacked her back and it flew out of her throat. They do not allow parents past the gate for a reason and I should have questioned this. One time I went to pick him up and there were 16 kids in a room with two girls sitting in a corner on their phones. To all of the parents who have their children there, I am so sorry I didn't have the courage to say anything before today. please forgive me.
