My 11 month old daughter started going to Joyful Beginnings (JB) in Avon when she was 3 months old. I was a first time mommy and didn't know what to expect when sending my baby to daycare as I went back to work, but JB has been wonderful throughout this whole experience. Some of the things I love about JB are: •Friendly/helpful staff – everyone is very friendly and professional and I know my daughter is in good hands when I drop her off; I’ve never had any concerns with my daughter’s well-being while in their care •Schedule – they keep my daughter on a schedule that works very well for her and us when she comes home at night •App – I absolutely love that I have an App to check on my baby throughout the day - they track her diaper changes, bottles (now food), naps, and they will post pictures too! There is also a messaging feature so you can message the teacher with any questions/concerns throughout the day •Friends – my daughter has made many friends that she will continue to grow up with, and I have made mommy friends to get together for play dates, Birthday parties, and swapping mommy advice/stories •Formula/Food – there aren’t many daycare facilities that provide formula and food to children, but JB does and it's included in the price •Growing with JB – I love that there are different age rooms so that children can learn/grow with JB I couldn't ask for a better daycare to send my precious baby to because I know she is being taken care of by kind and loving people. I would recommend this daycare to anyone who is thinking about sending their child here!
I send my 4 year old to this center, and have since she was a baby. I also recently started my second child in the center. The supervisors and the staff are very friendly and easy to work with. If you let them know of a concern, they take care of it quickly and correctly. I have a huge tote of wonderful art projects that my child has brought home and she is always excited to tell me about her day and what she did. Everyone seems pleasant and the children are well cared for. I would recommend to anyone!
This daycare looks like a warehouse from the outside and although may appear to be friendly on the inside the overall environment is not. The supervisors are unprofessional and talk about their employees to parents and other staff members. Multiple times throughout the day I have found them to be unable to reach and out of the office. For what reason would you need to be out of the office all day? Most of the staff is friendly, but some tend to be unprofessional. They talk about personal issues with eachother in front of parents, some are very short and direct with the children and they should be warming towards them, also some of the staff are more professional than others. My children were in the infant room and the pre k room. Both my childrens teachers were wonderful Miss Melissa and Miss Kayla. If you send your children here you would be lucky to have them. Melissa is very charasmatic and devoted to working with the infants and a kind heart, Kayla has the highest education and prepared my daughter for kinderarten. She would come home everyday and be so excited to share what she learned throughout the day. She is a wonderful teacher, and they are two teachers that make Joyful Beginnings worth sending your child too. They do provide meals and some activities, but they have a hard time sticking to their calendar scheduled events. Classrooms tend to be dirty and so do the floors. The lunch menu is not always followed and I have witnessed lunch before and its not the most desirable food. The staff makes this center the best it can be, but the supervisors are two faced and not there for the children. In the morning hours bringing my children to daycare I even witnessed the supervisors on facebook and shopping websites. UNPROFESSIONAL. Your child may appear happy but if walls could talk..They would!
I am so pleased to find that there is a top notch high end quality child care center in Avon, NY. From its humble outside (all though in a great location!) You enter into a high end professional early childhood education & family center! I wish there had been such an awesome place to send my two younger children when I needed care for them as babies and toddlers. The staff and Director at Joyful Beginnings has become a part of our family! My daughter is happy, entertained and excited to go to daycare. Every day I can drop her off with confidence that she will be loved and protected. That is comfort that any parent can appreciate! Thank you!
