I wasn't gonna post this at all, but if your child goes to BOSS BABIES IN FREEPORT, ya might wanna…read moretake em out. Unless you like you children drinking out of dirt sippy cups for an entire week straight. When I was washing the cups, the husband of the owner asked me if I was washing cups. I said "YEAH cus nobody else did & they been drinking out of dirty cups. That's nasty." He goes, "well we usually take the cups home every Friday & boil them & wash them". Oh okay so y'all only clean their cups once a week??? "Mrs. T" fired me because I called out sick twice & wasn't feeling well within my first week. Depsite the fact that we had a student that was sick earlier in the week. (Which was most likely a result of him drinking out of a dirty sippy cup). The preschool teacher also called out that 2nd day that I did...and that's why I was fired??? So you're understaffed, but you fire me because I wasn't feeling well??? Thankfully, I recorded myself cleaning the cups with week old food residue on them so if they try to lie, dassa dub. They're also VERY rough with the kids in the preschool class that I worked in. I've witnessed students being flipped off their cots to be waken up. I've even witnessed students getting "popped" by teachers out of frustration. Some of y'all from Breakthrough & RHS got kids in there so I'm really just tryna help fr. I stopped working there a month ago & didn't wanna shake the table, but what they're doing is not right. And they will not admit to any of these actions which is ultimately child abuse. I also know how messy you LI mamas are so send this to whoever you want. I really just want the best for ya kids cus I really grew to love them in the time I was there ~ Guya Rainey

This has been the most unimpressive daycare I have used in the Freeport/Baldwin area. Our foster…read morechild was there for 8 days and we have had no communication from them about his interactions in their program. They made zero attempts to say if he had a good or bad day. They have however reached out to DSS on multiple occasions instead of my wife or I to discuss his behavior. Today they decide to kick him out of their daycare and didn't have the courtesy to call us to discuss. We received a call from DSS to inform us of Boss Babies' call to them regarding his discharge. The lack of professionalism shown by the owner and her team of young and obviously untrained workers is truly disappointing and disrespectful. Obviously they are not very good at this choice of profession since they had to close their other location on Atlantic Ave in Freeport.

Making a decision about childcare is really hard, but I am so happy with our decision to go to…read moreLightbridge. Everyone is like family there. The directors love my children, the teachers love my children, and I trust that they are happy and safe there. I love that there is a curriculum, each week is a different theme. They learn Spanish and do yoga and exercise and learn the basics like letters, numbers, writing, etc. I love that there are cameras and you can watch what is going on throughout the day. Every teacher knows the children's names even if they aren't in that teacher's class. They take any concerns seriously. The facility is clean and neat and welcoming. No daycare is perfect, I assure you, but Lightbridge is perfect for us and I'm more than happy with the care my children are getting there.

Sending your first baby to daycare is tough! You miss them and hope they are in good hands…read more I am so happy our neighbor recommended Lightbridge as they made the transition a lot easier than expected. Here are some of the highlights: - Cameras that you can watch all day to see your little one - Teachers and managers are amazing!!! - They read/sing to them and teach them new skills each day - group and individual play so she has learned to play by herself as well as with other babies. So cute. Our little one smiles when we pull into the parking lot ( as seen in picture) and that tells us everything! Thank you for making our 9 month old so happy.

My son is a new child there & was neglected by one of their drivers ! They dropped him off to an…read moreentirely wrong school who contacted us & let us know he was in their main office, just dropped off & not even walked to the door ! The Director Jasmine tried to cover her ass by saying we told them the wrong school when that was never the case ! She called and asked "what school does he go to" & never even informed us of what happened at first, we had to find out from the schools main office that's nowhere near the town we live ! Very very unacceptable & uncomfortable thing we went through today anything could've happened to my child he didn't know where he was or any of those people ! His correct school is on a HUGE tag hanging off his book bag & the correct school is also on the tons of paper work we just filed to enroll him? not to mention we were charged extra for travel because of your mistake ?! Just a terribly unfortunate situation which was handled very poorly, unprofessionally. My son is 5 yrs old btw who was excited to start this new daycare he's been at for not even a week & this is how he was treated ? I do not recommend this daycare please avoid at all cost !

Allí puedo ver fotos y videos y en casa puedo reforzar lo que están aprendiendo aquí durante la semana. Siento que mis hijos están en un lugar seguro donde son valorados y respetados. Aquí ellos participan en actividades educativas y divertidas y mantienen un horario claro. Ellos también reciben alimentos saludables y eso es muy importante. Cuando encontré little minds universe, sabía que este lugar iba a ser un pilar en la autoestima de mis hijos y que les iba a brindar a ellos seguridad emocional y no me equivoqué. La calidad administrativa y la altura con la que se manejan es muy evidente y a nosotros nos encanta
