I cannot say enough good things about Babies and Beyond Daycare! The other glowing reviews are spot on. Darlene works hard to create a fantastic environment for kids to thrive, and it shows!! Her home has a beautiful aesthetic, is immaculate, and lots of things for the kids to play with and explore. This is a high quality environment! Darlene, her daughters and her daughter in law are so great with the kids. My son loves them all and hugs each one at the end of the day! We had our son at another home daycare and when we made the difficult decision that it was time to move on, we were stressed and spent a lot of time to find a new place with the right fit. We tried to talk ourselves into other facilities, but as soon as we met Darlene we knew it was the perfect fit! We feel lucky every day to be able to bring our son here. He clearly loves it, and his speech and interpersonal skills have drastically improved. He is thriving, we are able to do our jobs without worrying about whether our son is happy, and it makes every day more enjoyable and productive for all of us! As an architect, I may be pickier than other folks when it comes to my surroundings. Darlene is a true artist and cares just as much as I do about the environment and quality of life for these kids. You will not find beat up, dirty toys here! It is wholesome and peaceful, fun and creative! The playground is beyond fantastic! I would recommend Babies and Beyond without hesitation!

I just want to say that before we found Babies & Beyond Daycare, my 3 year old son was in another facility that was completely unorganized, and he just wasnt happy or thriving. Once I finally made the tough decision to pull him out and join Darlenes "DeeDees" family, I almost instantly noticed all of the positive changes in my son. He was overall just a happier child to come home to everyday, his knowledge and speech skyrocketed, and was constantly singing new songs and counting his numbers which I dont think I had ever heard him do before. We just couldnt be happier with how much he has grown in the last year, and I really owe a huge portion of that to DeeDee and her two Daughters. They are all so loving, gentle and kind to ALL of the children, there is never the feeling that anyone is ever left out or falling behind the group. The children are always having a good time, whether its with crafts or games, or playing outside in their BRAND NEW, completely professional and AMAZING play structure and sandbox!! They all put so much care into keeping their home SAFE and sooooooo CLEAN, I never have to worry about anything happening while my son is in their care. Leaving your child everyday can be a really scary experience for any parent........ I would 100% recommend Babies and Beyond to anyone looking for a daycare/preschool, that is safe, and where the children have structure, love, and most importantly FUN!

Sending our daughter to Babies and Beyond, is one of the best decisions we have made as parents. Darlene and all other teachers are absolutely amazing!!! They do an incredible job with these kids. Our daughters vocabulary, self confidence, intelligence and sense of humor have completely blossomed since starting at this daycare. She has such a blast when she is there that she does not want to come home. Like most parents I worry when she is not with me, but I have never worried about leaving her at Babies and Beyond. Darlene and all staff love these kids like they were their own. When I started looking for other daycares for my daughter, I went and observed 4 other daycares before viewing this one, the others were OK, but nothing compared to this one. It really is beyond all expectations of a daycare! The only complaint I have is that when my daughter is ready for kindergarten she will have to leave Babies and Beyond.

My daughter loves this place! I bring her about once a week, and she always has a blast. She is 2 and seems to learn so much more on days she attends. I trust Darlene and the girls completely with her - this is a family run daycare. Whitney and Kalie are both really great with the kids and I see them playing one-on-one with them all the time... building train sets, playing outside, you name it! I really appreciate how clean and well put together this place is, too. It is so nice to go into a child care center and not see COMPLETE ANARCHY. The toys all seem to have their own place, and the environment has really helped my daughter to understand the value of putting her toys away. She has such a good time that sometimes she doesnt want to leave!! I really couldnt say enough good things about this place, and Im SUPER looking forward to the new playground theyre building! It looks like it is going to be A-MAZ-ING.

Babies and Beyond really do go beyond basic daycare. My child receives the best child care and education too. They care about each child as if they are a part of their family. The facility is always clean and they provide breakfast and lunch daily. They have an amazing play structure outside that has built-in misters to keep the kids cool in the summer. My child has been with Darlene and her family for 3 years and knows everything and beyond in preparation for Kindergarten. (I know this because I am an elementary school teacher). The children learn math, language arts, music, puppetry, science, art, manners, and best of all, how to play with one another. Babies and Beyond has an organized schedule and is a very safe environment to leave your child. My child loves going to "Darlenes" and I love not having to worry about her when I go to work, because I know she is in safe and loving hands.

I was very hesitant putting my 1st child in daycare and so was my husband, especially being new to the area, but finding Darlene has been a wonderful experience. My two boys ages 3 and 1 (with 1 on the way) go to Darlenes twice a week and they love going there to play with their friends and learn new things. She keeps the kids busy with art, fun activities, and there is a wide array of puzzles, blocks, toys, music, and books for the kids to enjoy. I too appreciate how clean, well organized, and also cozy her home is for my kids. I wanted a place that felt like a home, but where they could also learn and develop. The kids are very excited about the new playground that is being built!
