First Baptist Destin Preschool

"This day care need cameras in the infant rooms. My baby was there for two days and he came home with his little butt red. On the second day he went there they did not feed him enough they only give him two bottles for that day. My baby had dried up tears running pass his eyes down to his neck. They only change his diaper one time for that entire day, his diaper was soaking wet with pee and poop all day. It’s when I got there they changed him to give him to me I was getting worried because of how long they took to bring him to the front. they took forever to bring me my baby to a point where I was asking them Where is he? If he was okay? When I got home I checked his bag like any parent would and realized that the teacher lied on the slip they sent him home stating that they change him 4 times and that was not true because I actually counted the diapers that was in his bag. I went to the day care the following business day to talk to the director and the teacher that was watching him I asked her where did she get the diapers she changed him 4 times she couldn’t give me an answer it was oh I don’t know! looking confused and puzzled. She was lying so much that she eventually started getting mad. That lady balled up the paper slip and throw it at me and asked me to leave. So I throw the doo doo clothes back at her so she ran to go get the pastor of the church. Lied to this man that I throw stuff at her this and that. Not letting him know that she started the mess, when all I wanted was an explanation of what happened to my baby that day. The pastor came in the room he didn’t even asked what happened or nothing he just rushed in telling us to leave or he’s going to call the cops telling us that the baby is expelled and that we was not going to get a stop payment for the week that he wasn’t going to be there. It’s when we explaining to him what happened he said sorry he didn’t know what happened before he jumped into conclusions. I honestly feel like the infants are not getting treated right in this place. The carpet they crawling on is filthy and so noticeable dirty. They walk over the carpet with their outside shoes. Babies crying with just one teacher in there. I do not recommend this daycare to any parent especially if your child is black. The director Maya is a really nice lady she talked to us and apologized for what happened to my baby but the pastor and the teacher in the infant room were not professional about any of this. I feel really bad of how this whole situation turned out because we just wanted to talk."

"I would like to know if I’m the only one that had this type of experience. My child was to begin daycare on a specific day and was charged for the entire week, when I took him they were saying I should take him back the following month. I told them I was already charged so the lady at the desk was like okay he can come. I brought everything they told me to and he started the following day. When we went to pick him up the lady at the front started smiling saying we can’t keep him he didn’t want to eat lunch and he ran in the hall way and they gonna refund the money , only to see a table that was out front they packed up all his stuff in bags and everyone was quiet. They hauled him out to us like he was nothing, I asked if I could speak to the pastor and no one called me. For a church daycare I expected some decency and professionalism and for them to treat a baby like that is unacceptable."

"The director and faculty really love and care about the kids. Our babies diaper was changed constantly. Our toddler was potty trained. They teach them about God. They’ve gone above and beyond in a lot of ways. Knowing they are loved so well while we are away and come home happy has made it all worth it."

"My daughter attends First Baptist Preschool. She is always happy and can't wait to come in each day. I love knowing the kids are learning about the word of God along with getting ready for kindergarten along the way. They also include Spanish and music! I feel comfortable each day knowing that my daughter is loved by these amazing teachers ❤/staff. Having a full time job, its very reassuring as a mommy knowing my child's teacher loves and cares for her just as I would, during my workday."

"This daycare is a amazing. They truly care for children. They have taken exceptional care of my daughter and treat her as a family member. They love her as own of their own. They go out of their way to make each and every child feel loved and special. I couldn’t be happier with the care we have received."
