Inexperienced, rude, uneducated staff. Rough handed with children, and do not use appropriate tone, I have observed at pickup multiple times. Do not recommend.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months
I can honestly say I will never ever recommend this daycare to anyone. I tried to be patient but Beach Babies is understaffed, my 2 1/2 now 3 year old son did NOT have a consistent teacher throughout our 6 months and did not learn a thing. I tried to talk to Allison but conveniently she never answered my emails and was never there, and the assistant director doesn’t know whats going on either. I do not think she cares about any of the children’s safety. My sons “new teacher” was dressed HIGHLY inappropriate and was very rude towards my husband and I. Dont even get me started on the pricing and billing procedure.

I am an employee
As a former employee, I can honestly say that Beach Babies should be shut down. The owner/director lacks essential business and education experience, and it is evident in the way she runs Beach Babies. Allison only cares about her paycheck at the end of the week, not the kids in her daycare. She hires people based on who she knows rather than actual experience. I witnessed a toddler climb up a table and fall, requiring stitches, because the staff in his room was TEXTING on their phones instead of watching the children. The staff regularly curses and there is no learning going on whatsoever. It is a free play for the entire day, with the exception of maybe a 3 minute circle time. Trust me when I say this, if you want a high quality daycare facility, do not send your children to Beach Babies.
