Both of my children have spent time at Ms. Ruthie’s where they were treated like family. Ms. Ruthie and her staff really took their time to stay involved in my child’s progress, communicating with me and providing updates almost daily. I love that the Learning Center is actually a house because it really makes it feel like a home. Thanks Ms. Ruthie for all you do!

Best small childcare center on the Coast! Ruthie has been a childcare provider for almost 35 years and has owned her own business for almost 20. If you are looking for a happy, caring place for your children you will be very pleased as many Coast parents have been for years.

Ruthie, its Elizabeth Moody, been trying to get ahold of Altha for a while now. Please let her know. I sent her a text and tried calling. My number is in her phone. Love you girl! 💜💛💚P.S. tried to call you too at day care.P.S.

Awful place, I do not recommend taking your children here. My children went here for one day and then I removed them. I am military, so my children now up to age 16 have been to several different daycares (this was for my 2 younger children however) and I have never had a problem. When I fir st walked into this place, I was a bit concerned, as there is no reception area. She just lets people in the door and all the children are right there in one room. That to me is a bit scary, as anyone could just walk up in there. Also, with covid, its just absolutely unsafe that she allows parents inside everyday in the area where all of the children are just right there and walk up to parents they dont even know to say hi, etc. On another note, the first day, I dropped my 2 children off and when I came back to pick them up, Ruthie seemed quite upset. Apparently my 4 year old had an accident and in the commotion of being in a new place, he urinated in his pants. Easy fix right? I had given her a change of clothes that morning and all that needed to be done was to get him to change. However, the scary part is that my son stated that, Ms. Ruthie got mad at me and she slapped my tinkie. That is the scary part and it is not okay at all. First off, being a childcare provider, you know that sometimes they can forget things like going to the bathroom on their first day. Secondly, that is abuse and ridiculing him or slapping him there is especially not okay. Also, she stated in a quite angry manner that apparently when my 3 year old went to the bathroom, he urinated slightly on her by accident. Neither of my children have had these issues at their previous daycares (we just moved here). And again, being in this industry, you should know that there are certain possible hazards, but she seemed quite angry that this happened. When I asked my son about it he seemed very ashamed and apologetic. Both of my children also stated that because of their accidents, when all other children went outside to play for the day, Ruthie told them that they could not go outside to play with the other children. Because of their accidents, they were being punished by not going outside to play. It was obviously an accident and why these things happened to them here and not elsewhere, I am at a loss as to why. I immediately let Ruthie know that my children would not be returning. I do not recommend sending your children here. This is every parents nightmare come true.

My son went there for about a month and hated it. She never once took him outside to play even though it was in the schedule she gave us and the property has a playground.

Ruthie has been taking care of kids in Biloxi for years. She treats the kids in her center like they are her own. My son spent some great time at the day care. Its not just a place to baby sit. Ruthie teaches her kids the basics they need to prepare them for school. I love the house with shady back yard play area instead of a commercial metal building.
