Child Enrichment Center - Hazel Green, Alabama

We sent our children here and overtime realized the director over the program had started to dislike my wife for whatever reason and would do everything she could to send my child home. (Kinda of ridiculous someone is put in charge that can’t be professional) Yes my child did bite but for the most part because another kid took something he was playing with is what they would tell us. He was only 1 years old how do you expect a young child to react when something like that happens. Thats why teachers are put in place to watch them right? We’ve had problems with him being sent out with diapers full of poop (up his back and on his clothes) multiple times, not being fed his lunch because they didn’t “have time” is the explanation we were given (director said she would call us and never did) to explain/talk about it. Which is CRAZY to me. I would tell my wife there’s no way someone that’s in charge of a church daycare would be so ugly but boy I was definitely wrong. And now that we finally decided to take our child out of this daycare because of the hassle of leaving work to pick him up when he would bite and worrying if he was being treated fairly and loved as any parent would wish if they were dropping them off and trusting someone that’s watching him. He’s doing so great now that he’s somewhere else. Coming home more talkative and in better moods. And not biting other kids at his new daycare. The director is apparently telling people she kicked my son out which isn’t the case…We just didn’t feel safe taking him there anymore (which is really sad to say) especially after the last conversation she had with my wife before we left. Didn’t even show ANY kind of remorse or concern for our kid that she was in charge of…. Should tell you a lot about her. Never really had any problems with the teaches that were watching him in the mornings every time we would see them and talk they would talk about how sweet and great our kid was but for whatever reason here I am writing this because the person in charge is a cold hearted young lady who should not be in charge of this place. To be honest I wouldn’t refer this program to anyone. And I’ve spoke to a few people who’ve worked here in the past and would talk about how it is on the inside and it wasn’t the most pleasant thing to hear. It also didn’t help that when we arrived we couldn’t go inside to pick our kid up we had to stand outside and scan a QR code which I didn’t like from the beginning and made me feel uneasy like what is there to hide? I never would of wrote something like this because I’m a bigger person but I wouldn’t want another kid or parent to be in the same spot we were in. If possible find somewhere else to take your kids atleast until some changes happen here.

My little girl has been at the CEC for 2 years now. She has been in both Mrs. Miller’s and Mrs. Sadie’s classes. Both teachers are excellent. She has learned so much and enjoys being there. They keep me updated on every little incident whether it’s a fall or a potty accident. We get regular messages and pictures from their daily activities. Drop-off and pick-up are super simple and safe. I wouldn’t want to send my littles anywhere else.

Our daughter started going to CEC in preschool (3 yo). She continued through preK and went to the daycare during school breaks during Kindergarten. They really made school a positive experience for her and she loved all the friends she made as well as the teachers. CEC really set her up for success in Kindergarten. I highly recommend CEC.

Very disappointed with paige peil! She is the worst manager of a child care company i have ever seen in my life. This is not a church , this is no church i have ever attended to act like this. Also if you have a story you’d like to share with DHR or human resources please email me. This is end of using a child a ploy for your own vendetta this is very sad. Please do not put your child in this daycare but they will and HAVE kicked children out for nooooo apparent reason.

Both of my sons have gone here for pre-K and my oldest still attends for schools breaks and they both love going and love their teachers.

Our son went to this school for about a year and a half. Nice teachers, but very very disappointed with upper management. My son was removed, through no fault of his own. If you'd like to learn more, email me.
