  We started out with this daycare once it took over the previous center (building blocks). Since the new ownership things changed and I can’t honestly say for the better. The center isn’t cleaned as it should be, and when anything is brought to the owners attention it’s given a very generic by the book excuse. She made me feel like just a number whenever I would bring an issue to her attention. (I have several friends who kids went here as well, and all feel the same way regarding this.) The food program was something that was promoted as this great thing, when the food provided isn’t anywhere near what was spoken about. At one point when I was packing my older child’s lunch due to food allergies, he was not allowed to eat potato chips because it’s “junk food” and goes against the federal meal guidelines. Yet they serve a chicken dish that is coated in potato chip crumbs. There are still some great employees there like Inseong, Angelica, and Renee that we had the pleasure of watching my oldest when he started at Building Blocks. But the change over to beginnings and beyond has brought some less than desirable teachers into the facility, as well as a constant rotating door of people coming and going. I felt that some parents had to sacrifice their careers in order to pull their kids due to such a drastic change in the environment from what they originally signed up for. When prices were announced to rise again this summer, I decided to pull my kids out because with the then current prices I did not feel like the attention to details (children relationships, behavior, CLEANLINESS) and care was appropriate. This owner doesn’t know the kids names, and wouldn’t be able to recognize a parents face out on the street. Why own a childcare center for all the wrong reasons? Then on social networking I see where the center is encouraging positive reviews for a chance to win cash.

  My granddaughter is doing wonderful here. They have great communication. The programs they do with the little one is amazings. I love seeing pictures of her throughout the day. The staff is caring and concerned when something happens. It nice to know she is loved when she is there. Thank you staff!

  My son has attended this daycare for about 2-3 years now. They are so kind with him and constantly put in the effort to make sure he is supported in his classroom environment. They are great with communication and we never have to wonder what is going on. Highly recommended to anyone in the Dover, Camden, Felton Areas

  My son goes to Beginnings and Beyond in Felton and he is only 8 months. He has right brain malformation. He has been attending since he was 6 weeks. The amount of attention, dedication and relationships that the staff and even families have shown my little boy is amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better collaborative team. I highly recommend them for the care and dedication that they give to their families and their team.

  I just received guardianship of my great nephew. He was previously in a terrible environment for his first 3-1/2 years that caused him to be behind socially. He was kicked out of two childcare centers locally and I was preparing to give him up to the state because I have to work. My social worker asked me to try Beginnings and Beyond and I am so thankful that I did. They are so wonderful with him. I only get positive feedback and see great social and emotional growth in my child and he is only in his second week. I highly recommend!
