I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Sent my child there & they have experienced abuse & physical discipline even though it is stated in the policy that they aren’t allowed to touch our children. One of the workers Carolyn Prince was especially rough with my child throwing him all around

Literally shows no remorse and even tried to hid the child abuse seen on camera a teacher sat on a child and another pushed a child into a wall and they didn’t care just like it was a normal day indicating they abuse and hit kids on a normal basis

The video I just viewed on TikTok regarding this establishment is heartbreaking. Abusing kids has no excuses. Carolyn Prince & Joy Freeman you should be ashamed and I pray this establishment gets closed down! Parents go somewhere else

If you are looking for a safe and healthy environment DO NOT bring your children here. The staff are abusive and will lie to cover their own asses. Super unprofessional, this daycare should not be even running after reading all the reviews I see this is an on going thing and they need to be closed !

I can't tell you how wonderful the experience my granddaughter has had at A Beautiful Child. The teachers and staff really go above and beyond. I highly recommended A Beautiful Child.

I also am a self paying parent with A Beautiful Child and pay my bill on time. Maybe The Hopson family should pay their tuition on time and quit blaming others. I deal with Ms Chris on a weekly basis and she is nothing but friendly, professional, and clearly dedicated to the children at this daycare.

If I could rate them a zero star I would. I have found the office staff to be highly inappropriate when having to deal with Kris. I have made it a point to avoid her until tonight when she felt the need to confront me regarding my bill even after my husband had already spoken with the owner. This woman has been nothing but rude and confrontational with me. I would strongly recommend you spend your money somewhere else. My son's coat and book bag were kept in a room that is not heated. I believe the owner has good intentions, but they do say the road to hell is paved with those. She needs to get better help or they will continue to lose people who are self-paying!!

I have used many daycares throughout my children's lives, and I have to say that A Beautiful Child is by far my favorite! Many daycares feel very "corporate" and your child seems like just a number, but at this daycare, they give everyone their personal touch. Each child is important and recognized as the precious individual that they all are. I highly recommend A Beautiful Child and their Staff!
