I really can't overstate the impact JFM had on our family. We were struggling at a toxic situation in our previous daycare, the care and attention they gave our son was truly remarkable. I never felt like our son was a problem, it was always faced like a good kid having a tough time. Now, only a few months later everyone is thriving and loving school! Ms Missy and Ms Erin were literal lifesavers and I will never be able to thank them enough for what they did for our family.

Placing our child in daycare for the first time was undoubtedly nerve-wracking. Fortunately, JFM has proven to be a stellar choice, putting our worries to rest. The provision of snacks and the director's thoughtful practice of taking the kids for a park stroll in the summer, weather permitting, has added a delightful dimension to our child's experience.Benny, the resident rabbit, has become a cherished companion for our child. Despite his usually reserved nature, Benny is open to the occasional petting, adding to the warm and inviting ambiance of JFM.Despite the converted house setting, the layout at JFM ensures that each child has their own dedicated space. Our child particularly cherished the upstairs area with its own loft, expressing disappointment at outgrowing the age for play there.The convenience of the van service for student pickup from nearby schools is a noteworthy perk. While picking up our child can be a bit hectic due to limited parking, I've always managed to find a suitable spot without much trouble. Despite what other reviews say, our child has expressed that they can chatter all they want when they are being transported to JFM location.Addressing security concerns, the personalized pin system, where parents create their own entry code, instills confidence. I've never felt my child to be unsafe during her time at JFM.Furthermore, the director's willingness to work with us for flexible drop-off arrangements on certain days has been a tremendous relief. We are genuinely grateful for the positive experiences JFM has provided for our child thus far. I wholeheartedly recommend JFM to other parents seeking a reliable and accommodating daycare option for their children.

Absolutely couldn't recommend JFM more! Super positive atmosphere and amazing staff. They really try to be as flexible as possible and communicate with parents well. They perform a myriad of both indoor and outdoor activities to engage the kids from nature walks to sensory craft activities. You can tell the staff's dedication to helping the kids grow both academically, socially, and emotionally. Both of our kids have had exceptional experiences here!

Great place! It is scary to send your kid to a daycare at first but we've been able to trust JFM. JFM provides snacks and plenty of fun projects. Any issues we've had were quickly resolved. Communication is wonderful.

Just for me and Missy is an exceptional place. Missy is patient, kind and fair. She treats not only the children in her care like her own but also the staff.I started there almost a year ago and it has been a long time since I have been at a place that I feel appreciated and welcomed. Missy has guided me and helped me in so many situations.Furthermore, during the summer I got a phone call that my God Daughter needed to come stay with me for the summer due to a illness in the family. I called Missy to set up childcare for her. Missy was able to help me out and start her the next day. She welcomed my god daughter into the center with open arms and worked with me to make payments as this was a large adjustment for me.Just for me is an amazing place both as a center and as a place of employment. I would highly recommend Just For Me Family Center and Missy to anyone that is looking for quality care in a loving and caring while educational environment.

Just For Me has been a wonderful experience for my children and family! We had trouble with other centers, and when we found Missy, I knew we had the right place!! She has been a godsend!!! My children are thriving and happy and I absolutely know they are in good hands! They go above and beyond to create a family atmosphere, including after hours family functions :)

My daughter Gabriella has been going to Just for Me for 7 1/2 years and we have had no problems at all with the staff. If we would have, then Missy the director would address it right away! I do recommend this daycare.

My son has been going to Just for me for about 3 months. They are always over the ratio, kids usually run around and do what they like or teachers are constantly yelling at them.one teacher and the director put their hands on my son and when I went to talk to the director about it she said she didnt have time because she was over ratio.then they suspended my son for a day, because of the incident that took place previously and said he can come back on Wednesday and then , i get a letter in my email, not a call nothing to give me a heads up saying they will no longer be providing care for my son , let along a single parent who cant just tell her job well sorry i have to leave early everyday to get my son because his daycare decided to stop care. Then there letter states, if my past due balance isn't taken care of in 2 days then they will take me to small claims. HAHAH! funny how they think a parent can just stop care, jeopardize their job and then be like well you still have to take care of a balance in two days. THIS DAYCARE IS UNREAL.teachers are very unprofessional. Kids do not get treated well and int he morning the director is usually rushing all the kids to get in a cold van to get to school and in the afternoon the lady that picks the kids up tells the kids they cant talk to each other or talk at all.STAY AWAY FROM THIS DAYCARE! WASTE OF MONEY . they do not love your kids they are there for the money.

Overall, this place mediocre at best. Unorganized.

We had a very bad experience. Stay away. My 2-year-old was here for 3 weeks, and I took her out.The facility is a converted house. This means, functionally, that the rooms are cramped, and the bathroom is right off the kitchen. Children are literally changed on the floor of the kitchen, where and when food is prepared. Kids crowd in the kitchen when the stove is still hot. Kids are changed while other kids crowd around and stare at their private parts - not the message I want my daughter to get.We started potty training, and I hoped that daycare could follow through and offer her potty. Nope. Not once.We cloth diaper, and the diapers aren't cheap. Another family cloth diapers, and daycare kept giving our diapers away, despite the fact that I pointed it out numerous times. We're still missing diapers, but I won't go back there.There were days that I called to check on my child who was in a new environment, and no one answered. For hours. I finally drove there, and they wouldn't acknowledge that they were wrong. I have a right to check on my child. LEGALLY.When my daughter cried, no one consoled her. I'd drive by and see her pacing in front of the bay window, sobbing, all day. She would come home hoarse, and with scratch marks down her face, from where another child clawed her, and no one could tell me what happened.I asked them to not serve my just-turned-two-year-old caramel with her apples for snack... just give her apples, and the teacher said she didn't think she could do that. She needed to be served a container of straight caramel. But it hurt her stomach because she is not used to eating concentrated sugar. She came home and cried about it.The expectations for two-year-olds were unrealistic, and the teachers were imposed them harshly. For example, when she woke from her nap (which was always shortened because of the traffic flowing through the classroom, as the facility is a house, and the classroom is the living room), she must sit on her mat, silently while the other children slept. SHE'S TWO.The children ran wild, and the teachers did not have the training or staffing to help or control them. They were constantly shorthanded, and desperate to take whoever they could for staff to get the right numbers, so they could get more students in. This meant minimal character screening for employees. One of the two-year-old teachers was really nice, a sweet person, but she received no support, and had a different "partner" teacher each week. No consistency for the kids.The teachers worked five 8 hr shifts, so my daughter had one teacher during dropoff, another during the day, and another during pickup. Again, no consistency. This also meant I never saw the teacher who spent the majority of the day with her. As they never answered phones either, we barely communicated.My daughter cried hysterically every single day we dropped her off and begged me not to leave. Said "I'll be good," "Please no," "don't go". We still can't drive past there without her crying and begging me not to leave her. She never does that for any other daycare.The last straw was when I walked into the two-year-old's room and saw a little girl tied to a chair, on more than one occasion. Not at a table eating, not playing, simply tied to a chair. Everyone else (including the teachers) was on the other side of the room, and staring at this poor little girl, who was clearly embarrassed and upset. I'd seen the teachers discipline her harshly before; they singled her out. Yelled at her.The teacher said that she had recently taken over, 10 min ago, and they didn't know why or for how long she was tied up, just that she had been bad. The director defended their actions: the child had bit other children (which two year olds do, and the daycare should be prepared to handle, but it was too small to segregate her safely) and therefore, tying her to a chair and isolating her was justified. This meant that my daughter saw a little girl
