    I started my son here several months ago when he was around 8 months old…read more I heard nothing but wonderful things about Sugar and Spice through word of mouth, so when i suddenly (and without prior planning) needed to place him in a program, i decided to meet with one of the owners of Sugar and Spice to tour the facility and get a feel for things... All of my fears and concerns about putting my precious baby in daycare were immediately put to rest. I was very nervous to do this because i am a single first time mom and i've heard horror stories about other daycare facilities... anyway i absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE. The staff is amazing and the facilities are extremely clean and organized.! Most importantly, they provide top notch care! This daycare is family owned and operated and the employees have been there for many many years which to me says a lot about this place. Everyone there is very attentive to the needs of the children and the parents. My son actually enjoys going to daycare! It is so wonderful to be able to trust that my son is in good hands so that i can focus on my full time job without interruption or anxiety. I recommend this daycare with 100% confidence to anyone searching for a safe loving environment to place their child/children. Sugar and Spice has been such a blessing in our lives, and I intend to keep my son here until he starts kindergarten in about 4 more years.

    A lovely, safe daycare on a shady, quiet street. It's alot nicer than that big daycare center over…read moreon Highway 188. The one on Highway 188 has a very dangerous playground and no shade at all. Sugar and Spice has a lovely, safe playground with lots of shade. The owners of Sugar and Spice are kind, loving people. The owners of that big center on Highway 188 are really profit-oriented and they are not as serious about safety as the people at Suger and Spice.

This center will always hold a special place in my heart. Once my youngest began attending at the age of 1....never attending a daycare previously...cried every day for 1 month when I dropped her off (as Katie mentioned was completely normal), I still knew that she was in amazing hands. Exactly 1 month later, as Katie had mentioned, she stopped crying, jumping out of my hands to run to her favorite caregiver at the time. I really enjoyed the parental communication system through HiMama. The reports were always very detailed regarding my children's day-to-day activities. If medicine was required to be given to my children, they would indicate the time it was given. It was a big help for me to see photos and detailed reports on my children. It made me feel like I was right there with them. I knew I could always trust the staff to take care of my children. However, the biggest impact for me concerned my oldest child. I cannot thank Regina, Rachel and Erin enough for what they provided for my daughter. My oldest has special needs. I did not know this right away. 2 years into the future, before she began kindergarten, my daughter received an Autism diagnosis. Yet, prior to that diagnosis, I quickly noticed that several staff here were very well-trained and knowledgeable of interacting with and caring for children with special needs. Most daycares honestly have NO IDEA what to do with special needs children. Yet SMART Beginnings knows EXACTLY what to do. When my daughters' behavior reached maximum intensity, Regina contacted me right away to explain in detail what was going on. I asked her what she recommended. She mentioned behavior counseling and referred me to someone she personally knew locally. With Regina's extensive background in Education, as well as her extensive experience in working with special needs children as a former educator, she created my daughter's first ever B.I.P. (Behavior Intervention Plan). It was a major rollercoaster and learning experience leading up to my daughter's first diagnosis, as well as after the diagnosis. Flash forward to the present, she currently has diagnosis spanning from Autism, ADHD, ODD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Yet I always knew that this daycare would be the ONLY daycare that I would truly feel comfortable leaving my special needs child in..... all because of the extensive knowledge, skill and background of the Director, Mrs. Regina, and the other staff. Also, just to add, when COVID began and most daycares shut down temporarily due to the outbreak, SMART Beginnings was LITERALLLY the only daycare in Ocean Springs that managed to stay open during the entire epidemic, implementing detailed instructions on how to manage the pandemic within the center in order to keep the staff and the children as safe as possible. I believe this speaks volumes about this center! So, in closing, this is why SMART Beginnings will always have a special place in my heart. They showed me how much they truly loved and cared about my children. They helped form a solid foundation of attempting to understand my daughter's needs, her struggles and her triggers, to develop a plan to best support her. The only reason why my kids' attendance ceased is because I had to move to Gautier. If we never moved, my girls would still be there in afterschool care.
