Carolina Forest Child Development Center Carolina Forest Child Development Center is a bad choice! Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

My daughter started at the center when she was four months old and my son started at 6 weeks.  They are now 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old, respectively. 

I have never seen any employee smoking, or even any parent smoking outside of the center.  I don't think tattoos or piercings affect teaching abilities.  I would prefer a lip piercing over an oblivious staff member any day!  The previous owner was opinionated at times, but I perceived her as passionate, not difficult.  The center has recently come under new owndership, and there is now a drastically different atmosphere.  The new owners have made significant changes to morale and the center's physical atmosphere.  I feel more connected to each staff member and the owner knows and cares about my family just like he's in my family.

I am a teacher and I understand what aspects are most important for a developing child.  I don't think the center was ever bad.  However, I know it is better now that I have seen the changes implemented by the new owner.  I frequently view other preschools in the area to be sure my children are getting the best care.  I have yet to see another center that has the dynamic of Carolina Forest.
