Good Beginnings Community Center

"We love our daycare family! They have been amazing to my child and would recommend them to anyone around here. My girl is taken care of so well and they love her just like she is one of their own. Best daycare in Baldwin county!"

"We love Good Beginnings and I would be one stressed out Mom if it wasn't for the Director, Ms. Ilena and her staff. This center has cared for my daughter (she graduated preschool here) and we continue to utilize their before and after school program. My son (age 1) also attends Good Beginnings and we love all of his teachers. If you think about it, our kids are our future and Good Beginnings can help build a solid foundation in our children's early years to better him/her to reach their potential, but it will also result in better communities as a whole."

"A T T E N T I O N!!!!!!! This director " Ilena Rowe" has to be the most disgusting human being ive ever laid eyes on. Back in March of 2018 my son came home with bruises all down his legs from a ruler! His Teacher DANIELE PETERSON had beaten him because his eyes were open during nap time.(confirmed by the surveillance) We called a meeting and Ilena found every excuse to tell me to vouch for her employer " I think she just over reacted" are the exact words that came out of her mouth! she begged me not to file a report due to her working " SO HARD" to build her business. My fiancé was so hurt by this and by me being a god fearing man, I told her to forgive them both and decided not to file a report as long as she fired the teacher, Well she fired the teacher, but the next few days she was allowed to come back to the daycare and mingle with her fellow ex co workers and she did this for weeks, I decided to remove my child from the school. At this point I am shocked, hurt and confused. Why would she allow this abusive teacher to step foot back in this childcare center. after she witnessed what she had did to a 2 year old? My fiancé wanted to go to the police and file a report with DHR, again I told her to forgive and let god handle it. Just last month my fiancé gets a call from a parent of a 2nd school Ilnea is now director of who hired DANIELLE PETTERSON as a teacher. The parent states that her daughter who is 13 and attends after school care there heard DANIELLE in the restroom beating a child while the child was screaming! THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED! Anyone who would put those kids in danger KNOWINGLY does not care for the safety of those kids, she is only there to collect a check! PLEASE think twice before enrolling your child into any the two of her child care services Good Beginnings and Restoration Fellowship Ministries. Please know my intentions are to simply make each parent aware of the potential harm that could come and to prevent any abuse that my child sustained while in the care of the MAGNIFIECENT ilena Rowe."

"It rare when you find a daycare that actually treats you like family. They have been amazing to my child and would recommend them to anyone! Best daycare in Baldwin county!"

"My family loves the staff and this has become the only place we trust after using several daycare services in this county."
