Awful Experience, as a first time mom putting your infant in daycare is difficult. When reading the…read morewebsite, touring the facility with the owner, Miss Beverly and going through the orientation process we felt good about what was being presented. We were asked about our baby's needs, we were asked to fill out a meal plan, sleep schedule and were told they would make every effort to follow it. We were made to feel like our baby would receive love and care. It was much to our disappointment that the teachers in the classroom my baby was in did the exact opposite. Babies were being left to cry with little to no comfort, expected to stay in a crib for 2 hours whether they were taking a nap or not, if my baby fell asleep before "nap time" and woke up while other babies were asleep, he was confined to a high chair. He was fed another babies food on multiple occasions, sent home with other babies bottles. There were times my baby went the whole day with only one bottle and only got it because I called and asked them to give him his bottle. The teachers were rude anytime I called with a concern I was either spoken to rudely or hung up on. The lead teacher is ruff with the babies and picks them up by the arms. They refused to follow any suggestions I had to help my baby take a nap or eat. One time I called and asked them to please try and feed my baby again because he barely ate his lunch and was told "No we are not doing that lunch time is over." We are talking about infants here. A few of the teachers really tried but there were so many issues and concerns all brought to Miss Beverly's attention. She is a nice lady but the staff do not listen to her or respect her or the GA state laws for childcare. I had to pull my son out because the things I was witnessing were very upsetting. We saw improvements after several complaints but it was never consistent.

Serious Concerns - Please Read Before Enrolling Your Child…read more I feel obligated to share my experience with this daycare/school, especially for parents who are trusting this place with their children's well-being. The owner/director is extremely rude to the staff and does not create a healthy work environment. There is also a clear bias and disrespect toward Americans, which is deeply concerning and unprofessional. Teachers are emotionally abusive to the children and lack patience, especially with kids who have special needs. If your child needs extra care or attention, this is not the place for them. If your child misses a day, there is no follow-up or concern from the school. Communication is nearly non-existent. Children are often not properly supervised, raising serious safety concerns. Staff are punished for taking time off, which leads to frustration and burnout--and unfortunately, the children feel the effects of that stress. This school may look okay from the outside, but behind closed doors, it's a toxic and careless environment. As a parent, I want others to know what's really happening. Your child deserves to be in a place where they're loved, safe, and supported--and this isn't

I recently substituted at Show Me Love Learning Academy Mableton , and I can honestly say it was…read moreone of the worst daycare experiences I've ever had. When I first walked into the infant classroom, a teacher was playing music that was completely inappropriate for babies. Then, in the 3-4-year-old room, I noticed teachers being downright impolite to the children. I understand using a firm voice when needed, but they were speaking to these kids as if they were adults, without any consideration for age-appropriate communication. It was uncomfortable to watch. What shocked me most was how phones were out during nap time instead of staff helping children settle down and rest. The director seemed to play favorites and turned a blind eye to the chaos. I've never seen such carelessness or fake behavior in a childcare setting. One moment that truly disturbed me was when a little boy mentioned "just like Squid Games" during an activity, and Ms. James shouted at him in anger. The child didn't say anything wrong--he was just making an observation. Then there was a teacher who said, out loud, that a child "might have a yeast infection" because she was itchy. That's incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional. To make things worse, I was left alone in classrooms with children I had never met before, without any proper schedule or introduction. That's not only unsafe, but it's also unfair to both the kids and the staff. I introduced myself the best I could, but no one supported me or helped ease the transition. Some of the staff might be decent, but from what I observed, they weren't welcoming or helpful. It felt like the bare minimum was being done. I also noticed they were preparing food without gloves, using children's restrooms (which I later found out is illegal), and those same bathroom doors don't lock--so any child could walk in while an adult is using the restroom. To use a proper bathroom, staff would have to walk across to another building, which could leave classrooms over ratio. On top of that, no one answers the door when you knock. There were just too many violations in one day for me to stay quiet. I'm genuinely tempted to report them to the state. Those kids looked scared to be there, and no child should ever feel that way in a place that's supposed to care for and educate them. Parents, please be careful. Don't be fooled by a fake smile. Some of these places are unsafe, and they'll gaslight you if you speak up. Stay aware and protect your kids. It could never be me
