I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Mrs.Miriam Powell-Bowie "Growing Seeds HomeBased Childcare" is an excellent place to put your child/dren in. My son Joseph, has been there since he was 7 weeks Old he is now 3, and in that moment, I needed to get back in School/Work. I knew it was to soon at the time, but once we took a tour around we felt comfortable and at home. She has been there for my son and Us since he moved on to pre-school, though we still come to visit her, she's Family basically! Mrs.Miriam took her time out the day sometimes just to send little updates, such as pictures of how the kids we're doing. My son has learned so much since his time being there with Mrs.Miriam, he's slightly ahead in his class as I type, His progress reports are even Great. Thanks to Mrs Miriam my son is advancing. Also I'm due in October so my Next baby we'll definitely be coming here!

Excellent Feb 06, 2020

My daughter went here when she was just 6 months old. She is now 18. I never trusted anyone until I found Miriam. She treated my daughter as her own. Went above and beyond. My daughter is now in college and we continue to visit and spend time with Miriam. She cooks and invites us to family events. She also cared for my son who is now 8. She has a clean and positive learning environment and she treats children as if they were her own. I highly recommend her as a mother who is very overprotective of her own children. Miriam Powell-Bowie was and still is heaven sent and she still watches my 8 year old when needed as I do nursing.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

My child has been apart of this daycare since she was 3months old she’s now 20 months old and it’s been a great experience so far it’s clean, neat, and presentable. I’d definitely recommend people to the daycare the provider is extremely professional and treats every child with much love and care. My child has learned a lot at the daycare like how to identify her nose, mouth, ears and eyes it’s like a mini school I’m very impressed with the services

DO NOT SEEK HER CARE Dec 04, 2019
I have used this provider for less than 6 months

THE WORST PROVIDER I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED! I would NEVER refer anyone to her. My poor 19 month old was neglected in her care. I was paying her out of pocket and she treated my daughter well. As soon as I had help from DHS with a voucher she started to neglect my child and blames my child. She does not provide any paperwork. She makes up rules then lies and says it’s in her policy. She doesn’t have a policy. She is completely unprofessional. I wouldn’t refer anyone to her!!!! She charged me $200 for 3 days for a drop in. She is ridiculous! My poor child had to suffer due to her own issues. I’m a hard working 9-5 parent. It’s the worst when you worry about your child while at childcare.
