    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 daughter has attended BB3 for several years now. We haven't had any issues and I always feel that my child is in safe hands and I don't have to worry when I drop her off in the mornings! She enjoys going to center every day!
