I am not sure where these other vile comments and reviews have come from, but if you have a moment…read moreto read on the divine impact S&E childcare development center had on my child, I would encourage you to read my entire review! From the perspective of a mother whose child ABSOLUTELY THRIVED and continues to be a scholar among his peers in elementary school, I can't express how excellent the care and academic RIGOR is at S&E childcare development center. My child started at 18 months and stayed until he started Kindergarten. S&E childcare development center poured into my child spiritually, emotionally, and academically. Not to brag, but my child left S&E childcare development center beyond ready for Kindergarten, to a point where he scored 1st and 2nd grade levels on reading and math during his kindergarten year. I can't tell you how many friends and family members are in awe of how articulate, intelligent, and confident my child is. All of these characteristics were instilled in him as a collaboration of the work of S&E and partnership with us at home. In reference to the waitlist, S&E childcare development center continues to have a waitlist, because once your child is in their care, you will NEVER want to leave! When I became pregnant with my second child, I notified the director while only a few months pregnant, bc there is no other choice for our family than S&E for childcare! I could go on and on about how much I truly love S&E childcare development center, but I know this review is getting long. I will end by saying, S&E childcare development center is not only an EXCEPTIONAL development center, but a safe haven for your child to be loved like family, and where you as a parent, will have complete peace of mind!

As a parent, finding the perfect child care center for our little one was a top priority, and let…read moreme tell you--choosing S&E Child Development Center has been the best decision we've ever made! It's not just a daycare; it's a magical wonderland where our child's dreams come to life every single day. From the moment we first visited, we were blown away by the warmth, love, and professionalism of the staff. The facility is immaculate, with vibrant, colorful spaces that instantly spark creativity and joy. The classroom is thoughtfully designed to meet the developmental needs of the children, filled with engaging toys, books, and learning materials that cater to their curiosity and growth. The staff at S&E Child Development Center are nothing short of extraordinary. Ms. Shana is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the children. They've taken the time to truly understand our child unique & 'fun' personality, nurturing her strengths while gently guiding her in areas where she needs extra support. The level of communication with parents is phenomenal; we receive daily updates, photos, and videos that allow us to stay connected to our child's day-to-day experiences. The curriculum at S&E is simply outstanding. It offers a perfect balance of play and structured learning, focusing on building social skills, creativity, and a strong foundation for early academics. We've watched our child blossom under their care, coming home each day with an infectious excitement for learning. What truly sets S&E Child Development Center apart is the sense of community they foster. They regularly organize fun events, such as themed parties, which make us feel like we're part of a big, supportive family. The center's commitment to health and safety is also exceptional, with top-notch security measures and a focus on healthy eating--even though my little one was not a fan of veggies. In short, S&E Child Development Center has been everything we could have hoped for and more. It's a place where our child is not only safe and cared for but is also encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in the most loving and nurturing environment imaginable. We couldn't be happier with our choice, and we wholeheartedly recommend S&E Child Development Center to any parent looking for the very best in child care. Five stars aren't enough!

If things don't go her way she will always threaten to fire you at the drop of a dime. Who wants to send there kids to this daycare and every other week there is a different teacher in the room. The food served by this so called daycare hasn't changed the entire time my child has been enrolled. My opinion the director is all about the money and cares nothing about her staff or the children there. The kids are just watched and no education is being taught on the behalf of the these so called credentialed teachers. I am working with taking my kids out and placing in an at home daycare. Very loving individual who loves kids and takes the time and her money to buy educational things from teachers central and walmart. ***BEWARE AND RUN FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT*** It is not good for any adult or child.

A Wonderful Agency You Can Grow With!…read more We have been extraordinarily happy with Ms. Leigh Roberson and her team since they began helping us before the birth of our first child in 2021. Ms. Roberson and her team have been wonderfully helpful not just with the initial nanny search, but with our continuing, ongoing child care needs of all kinds. Elspeth is a internal medicine physician who specializes in geriatrics. I'm a kids cancer and gene therapy doctor at Levine Children's. We both have the honor of trying to help patients struggling with severe and complicated medical challenges - often resulting in unpredictible and unexpected work hours and on-call weekends. And our medical training meant Elspeth and I didn't start having children until relatively late in our lives. When Elspeth and I were lucky enough to begin our journeys as parents, our own parents are too medically frail themselves to be able to help us with our newborn children, and our other family too far away. Ms. Roberson and her team have been incredibly supportive and helpful from the very, very beginning. Neither Elspeth nor I knew anything about hiring a nanny: Ms. Roberson walked us through every step, including helping us with arranging the necessary payroll, tax witholding, and health insurance paperwork to do it all right. Ms. Roberson helped us recruit nanny candidates from across the country with substantial experience, from which we selected J, our amazing nanny who has been our primary nanny ever since our first child was born and continues with us to this day. But more than that: Ms. Roberson also helped us recruit skilled, experienced and caring temporary newborn care specialists at the very beginning, to help us with the most time-intense early days of our baby's life (since again, we have no family nearby or medically able to help, and we both continued to have clinical duties throughout). Their expertise for us as brand new parents was extremely, extremely helpful. And in the years since, Ms. Roberson and her team has continued to routinely help us with substitute and last-minute nannies to help us, when our primary nanny got sick, or when clinical duties suddenly required unexpected weekends caring for patients instead of being at home with the kids. Having the help of Ms. Roberson and her team to provide caring, capable help whenever our patients needed our help, has given us great peace of mind as we take care of the patients who depend on us. I highly and strongly recommend Ms. Roberson and her team, not just as a service to recruit one's first nanny, but as an agency that can continue to help you with the entire continum of child care help. We are very lucky to have her and her team. Thank you, Leigh!

I was recently placed as a nanny by Family First…read more   From day one I was impressed!  Not only did I feel respected and valued as a prospective nanny for their agency; but as a parent myself, I was very pleased to see how extremely thorough the vetting process is for a nanny to be hired through this agency.  I am an experienced early childhood educator and came prepared with a background check that qualifies me to work in the state of North Carolina with children; but Family First still wanted to conduct their own background check in addition to that.  This is just one example of how important it is for Family First to select the best and most qualified nannies for their families.  I thought the process of screening and interviewing was intensive and involved, but I always felt respected while working with them.   I can really tell there is a personal and passionate team at Family First.  There is genuine heart behind their work; and it shows!

Let me start by saying my child is not enrolled here…read more The purpose of this review is to put info out there for other new/expecting families. We have been on the waitlist for the infant room for almost a year now. We actually got on the waitlist when I was 2 months pregnant. At he time they said they expected to have openings in a year. That seemed reasonable for a good school. So, we paid the $75 (I think) application fee and got on the waitlist. Throughout the spring and summer I inquired about our status every few months and just kept being told that they didn't know, they didn't know, maybe. Well after my son was born in July and I asked specifically about October the answer became a clear, no. Then I get emails to "waitlist families" saying that we have to let them know if we want to keep our status on the waitlist and if so we will be moved up to the next classes waitlist. While I get that this is an in-demand school I feel that they could have been much more honest and open about the likelihood of getting a spot before taking your money. So, I'm sure the school is lovely, but if you're shopping for daycares for your infant...here's what we have been through. Hope it helps.

a day ago NEW First I…read morewould like to say how much the staff blew me away with their kindness. Just from speaking to them over the phone, I could really tell that they were personable and jolly people. You don't always find that nowadays so I wanted to make sure that I let them know that during my tour. I was not able to remember everyone's name but the receptionist with the fade and the receptionist with the brunette hair and glasses were very kind and down to earth whenever I had questions or concerns about anything. Even the Financial Secretary (if I'm not mistaken) has been kind to me throughout our short experience with Early Beginnings. Unfortunately, my son and I were not given a chance to experience the extension of kindness in its totality due to being excused from the daycare after my son only attended a day and a half. On his first full day (8/14/23) I was told that he had some problems with listening and getting into the routine which caused problems within the classroom. I attempted to try and talk to his teacher about it the following day but was told that it was understood that this was his first daycare experience and to let some time go by so he could become acclimated (8/15/23). By 11am that same day, I received a phone call with my son crying nonstop in the background and was asked to pick him immediately. Upon my arrival, the Financial Secretary (I believe that was her position) spoke to me about how the environment was overstimulating for my child and how Early Beginnings does not have the staff to give him the extra attention he needs to acclimate him at this time. This truly upset and hurt me to my core that after just a day and a half of enrollment he was being asked to leave. The swiftness of it makes me feel uneasy and uncertain about any interventions or extra care that was taken during that time to help him, if they were given with patience and understanding at all. My son is not a neurotypical child but you are not able to notice it upfront. It is more obvious during social settings. Regardless of whether or not he is a neurotypical child, he should've been given a fighting chance to show whether or not Early Beginnings really would've been "a good fit" for him or not. A day and a half is not enough time to observe whether or not any child will be able to adapt to routines or learn to interact appropriately within a classroom and with peers. I really hope in the future the company will reflect on how unfair this quick termination is to any child and how it effects the child and parent emotionally to be turned away so quickly without any offerings of adjustments, interventions or even a conference with the Director and/or Assistant Director. Please take into consideration that every child you enroll will not always be pleasant or easy to teach and that it will require dedication, work and genuine love for what you do to assist any child in this World.

After two years of our child going here (and graduating pre-k might I add), we can truly say we had…read morea great experience. Even with the transition of her going to a different class once she got older, the experience of both classrooms were great. The teachers love the students like Their own, but including healthy boundaries. My child loved her teachers so much she would look forward to Going to "school" and would have a story to tell About all she learned and did for the day at pick Up. Early beginnings really made enrolling our daughter at a new school pleasant for both of us. The communication is great and modern from the apps used, Cameras in class and the emails from staff; you are able to have open communication with the teachers and staff. The staff is knowledgeable and it's amazing how they Learn and know all of the students to greet them upon arrival. They have all kinds of fun activities for the kids and sometimes parents too. I loved the theme days! It kept the day exciting and the kids look forward to going to school. If you are not one of the people who are ashamed to discuss the goodness of God, I believe you'll enjoy this place as they have values in forgiveness, prayer, and love. I also love the diversity of the students and staff, that truly mirrors the world we live in and gives your child additional layers. We felt comfortable with our Child going here and though she graduated pre-k, she is still mentioning her previous teacher over the Summer. My child was not enrolled as an infant, however as a 3-5year old, we loved every bit and she learned a lot!Thank you for all that you do! I pray this place continues to grow and keep God first. (I would give some Acknowledgements to certain staff but I won't for their security).
