  Oh my.. so many bad reviews on this daycare. Does the state of Texas not know about all these accidents happening to babies while being supervised baby these people.. and I see the owner comes on here mad because y’all make reviews. They need to do something about this place! Babies are not safe!!!

  If I could give them a 10 star I would I 10/10 would highly recommend them , I've had such a great experience with both my children from my daughter who didn't like going before this center and now she loves this center and all the teachers and directors knowing us by name and my son has absolutely loved this center they have accommodated him in every single aspect from working with us with his ADHD and ODD and working with the type of medication he is on anytime there was something wrong they never hesistated to call , I absolutely love this center and I couldn't say enough amazing things about these amazing ladies that go above and beyond for my kids ❤️❤️❤️

  My son had two major blows to the head and scratches around his private area while attending this daycare in the infant room. A teacher (Miranda) slammed a door into his head causing bruising and a knot. The other teacher (Aaliyah) claimed he tripped on his sock and basically flew into the door. When we watched the tape, Aaliyah had her back turned during the whole incident and never actually saw what happened. Another day, I got a call saying my son slammed his head onto the window seal causing a concussion. I was told Aaliyah was changing another child's diaper & my son came by the changing station & tripped over his sock once again hitting his head. When I got there to watch the tape, Aaliyah was not changing a diaper, she was in a chair on her cell phone, while my child was roaming around. ALL of the other children were SLEEP. I was also told it had just happened when they called me. The manager could not find the incident based on the time frame that was given. She had Aaliyah come in to tell us when it happened & she couldn’t remember. She kept saying “right here, oh no, maybe at this time”. She has proven to be a liar to protect herself & others when it comes to infants being severely hurt. The manager also tried to make up a reason why she was on her phone, but the back of the phone was facing towards the camera, so she had no idea. When I came to withdraw him from this daycare, the manager had no sympathy or emotion that my child was hurt & taken to Cooks ER due to my son vomiting all morning after the incident. When it came to the scratches, they blamed the diaper. However, when he is home wearing the same diapers he is just fine. When my mom brought up the scratches, Aaliyah told my mom that she disagrees and my mom told her you can’t disagree with something that is there. So Aaliyah brings up he wears 0-3 month clothes. Im guessing she was saying cotton were causing the scratches. It was honestly just unbelievable. Within his first month, he was bitten by a older kid that was not supposed to be in the infant room. They were both playing UNDERNEATH a crib and my 8 month old son was trying to “help the other child to get from underneath crib”. (Teachers words). They were also using his diapers & wipes on other kids. 50-60 diapers were being used up in a week & 3pack wipes were gone in 3 weeks. He would only get changed 5-6 times a day. After I called them out on it, Miranda called me saying my son caused a child to hurt herself by trying to “hug her”. I immediately asked her if my child is being watched correctly and told her my child is 10 months old. He does not know how to do the thing that you all are coming up with. He doesn’t know how to hug, or save children. Her response was “this is just the best way I can put it”. There were a bunch of airheads working at this daycare. Find somewhere else that will keep your babies safe.

  My daughter broke her arm at this daycare. They did not call 911. Indeed they called me complaining that she was crying excessively. They have no first aid training or accountability. Shame on the whole establishment.Update as of 9/15/2023The owner, Ashley Shuffield contacted me about the review I left via email which directly contradicts the response she left to my public review. She neglects to mention that Ms. Cheryl, her center director not only accused me of dropping my child off a broken arm but said she didn’t know what was wrong with her, just that she was crying uncontrollably. The phone calls are recorded and documented. When I informed Ms. Shuffield of this, she ceased to form a response. Multiple children were jumping off the swing sets which led to the schoolers teacher being let go. Thankfully I have witness and documentation to support my claim. I was clueless to the Ms. Cheryl was vicious attack on my character, when I found out, I had to let it be known. Goodness knows what else she has done under the guise of “helping”. Shame on the ownership for attempting to silence me.

  My daughter broke her arm at this facility. Instead of calling 911, they sat on their hands. When I came to pick her up they told me she must've came to daycare like that. Shame on them.

  If you are looking for a safe, patient, loving, supportive, caring, Faith based community please look no further and welcome home! The Children’s Spot is a great place for my son and our family. I feel so lucky to have all the staff helping me with the challenges of being a new parent and raising an almost 3 year old. I’ve always heard it take a village to raise a family I definitely found my village at the Children’s Spot!

  I absolutely LOVE Love love this school!!We pulled our daughter from another daycare and brought her here because we liked their programming and more experienced teachers/staff; and truthfully because they pray over meals and I really wanted to have her have that experiences outside of our home.The other school "seemed" more modern & had fancy video system (which was good when our daughter was little and couldn't verbally tell us about her day), but truly what i learned was a video doesn't stop a mean/scary teacher in action and you cant rewind. However, the children spot provides lots of picture it didn't have a camera to watch the children at home-- but you're welcomed to come & watch from their office if you ever want to come in (which i never needed to because the disposition of my child was better now) .My child is MUCH happier here & learning more here at the children spot. She does hands on activities, tracing & projects (besides coloring all day long as she seemingly did in the other school). She's in love with her teacher "Ms. Missy" and all the staff.I also love the various discounts they offer for military and educators. I highly recommend this place for any parent due to our amazing experience.

  Excellent, educational, and overall great school!Love this school due to its caring teachers and staff. School is under a new owner who seems to be very enthusiastic. Recently has had a remodel which makes the school feel warm and welcoming. Have high expectations for the future of this school.For the upcoming summer season, the school is taking fields trip every week. As well, as providing swimming lessons for the kids twice a week in the schools private pool. My kids feel eager to come every day to learn and play!

  My husband and I spent four months touring daycare facilities (10 total sites toured between S. Arlington and Mansfield). We also reviewed the State of Texas inspection records and this daycare was one of the only facility in the area that had zero discrepancies in the last 3 years.We were having the hardest time deciding on a daycare because so many had strengths, but every one also has things we didn’t like or would like to change. The Children’s Spot was the very last facility we toured and we knew it was “home” for our child immediately. When my son met the teachers, he lit up. They made eye contact with him and spoke to him directly. We had toured other facilities that didn’t even take the time to look directly at our baby (which I thought was strange!)They keep the ratio for every class strictly 1 to 4 and they separate the children into 6 month age spans until the age of 2 to keep students closer together in developmental advancements (0-6 months / 6-12 months / 12-18 months 18-24 months). They also start curriculum immediately and tailor programs to fit the needs of individual students. Each age block (infants / toddlers) has their own team lead teacher and floating teachers.The teachers communicate to the parents both in person and through an app. We get updates throughout the day with adorable photos of our baby playing, but also notifications when he’s been fed, changed and napping.Our son has only been attending for one month, but consistently, every day when I drop him, off he lunges toward his teachers and grins from ear to ear when they take him from me. It makes it so much easier to leave him for the day when I see how excited he is to see his teachers.Initially, I thought this daycare was a bit pricey, but knowing that food and formula are provided throughout the day offsets the cost and reduces the amount of time it takes to get our family ready and our the door in the mornings as well.

  My kids have been enrolled at The Children's Spot for less than 2 months. We've felt descriminated against from the first week attending. The director of this daycare is extremely rude. She had the nerve to tell me that my mom came up there being very loud and rude to one of the teachers when my mom is very quiet and sweet. There are so many hidden fees. For example, you are charged $3 if you bring child after 9am, $3 if you forget your card, $3 if your child doesn't ride the bus, another $35 if your card rejects a transaction! Then they won't tell you until the balance adds up. This daycare is all about money!I felt like my child was picked on for every little thing. He smiled and laughed a little when students were being disciplined so that was enough for him to get sent to the office. Then they tell him that's "2 strikes, 1 more and your out". (Meaning one more and you will not be able to attend the daycare)The only reason why we even lasted this long at the daycare is because I did not want to move them around. They just started a new school and we're having difficulty adjusting to the changes.My other son had been in the hospital and has anxiety was not at the daycare. His first time riding their bus, and the second day he attended, he was nervous to get on the bus. He acted like he was getting on bus but did not. I was there immediately to pick him up. They called Ccms to report they were ending my care, which was fine because I was already planning on taking them out the next week. What's even more crazy is she called CPS. Which is also fine because they had no case. A caseworker called me and told me there was basically no case and that I just needed to call the daycare and explain it to them because of miscommunication...and of course they were required to come out and talk to the kids. I have no problem with that.I have never came across a daycare like this at all, nor have I felt discriminated against like this before.Both of my boys are good kids! I've never had any issues with them at any daycare. Once she heard my oldest was out and in the hospital and on medication for ADHD she did not give him or any of my kids a chance. They were labeled from day one.The teachers in the baby room are very sweet and that was the only good thing I can say about the daycare. And it doesn't seem as if they can keep employee's. I really feel sorry for them....I feel like this daycare was a joke!

  We just moved to Mansfield last year and we were looking for a daycare to enroll my son. I know for a fact we made the perfect decision with him attending The Children’s Spot! Christian environment with a great staff. I can already tell how much he has learned in such a short amount of time. Thanks Children’s Spot

  My child's head was bruised multiple times with no admission of anything going wrong at their facility! When I changed day cares the owner refused to give me tax documents for FSA filing! This is a BAD place! Do not put your child here!

  When we first moved to Mansfield I toured and interviewed several daycare centers. I spent hours reading reviews on childcare centers so I thought writing my experience with this particular center may be helpful to other parents.We have been coming to The Children's Spot for about a year now. I have nothing but positive things to say. The facility is very well maintained and clean. The Teachers are kind and have longevity there. There have been a few new faces here and there but overall they are very consistent and leadership has remained the same since we started. Mrs Debbie, Mrs Cheryl and Mrs. Becky are great!I have two "Schoolers" and one that receives "All-Day" Care. My older kids love that there are class pets (Guinea Pigs and Turtles) and they enjoy all of the games they have indoors and outdoors. They have a HUGE activity room for the After-Schoolers. Also during the summer they get to swim as the Children's Spot has an onsite pool. Throughout the year they do fun field trips when school is out.My youngest child who attends all day loves his teachers and he is learning Sign Language, Spanish, and Reading Skills. They have a multi-sensory learning approach. They have someone who comes and sings with the children, and even someone who comes and does stretches with them. The Teachers communicate with me during the day through an App so that I can stay involved and informed as well as see pictures of my baby.Leadership has an open door policy and someone is always there to address any concerns. They are very "by-the-book" and serious about keeping your children safe. Doors are badge entry so that strangers are not able to enter the building. They have a no bullying policy and they stick to it.Overall, I appreciate the values that my children are learning about being kind, being respectful and how to get along well with others. The Children's Spot is an excellent Daycare/After School Program! I would recommend them even to my closest friends and family.
