I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Horrible staff. My son went one day and had the worst diaper rash. He also was covered in dried milk. I would never let my worst enemy take their child there.

My son has been attending Wonderful Beginnings III since August of 2021. I absolutely love it for him. It's very obvious he's learning so much and being taken care of while i'm working. I love that if/when anything should happen injury wise they're on top of notifying the parent immediately also being able to receive photos throughout the day of my little one eating and playing with his classmates is wonderful! They stay on top of making sure children aren't coming in sick to ensure the safety of other children in their classroom. Any time someone asks for daycare recommendation I am trilled to recommend them here!!!!

I have used this provider for less than 6 months

The owner insulted me in front of my 6 year old who has only been enrolled for 2 days, because of this my son cries every morning during drop off because he feels they are mean and is scared. Dealing with a disagreement, in regards, to there 2 week termination policy. They showed no understanding or leniency that I just moved here from out of state, they obviously just wanted to keep my money at the end of the day! Glad our last day of business will be the 17th!!!
