Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Early Beginnings in Huber Heights is part of a Greater Dayton network with Gold 5-star SUTQ quality designation across all locations, serving infants from six weeks through school-age children with a capacity of 122 and extended hours (6:00 AM–6:00 PM). The center accepts PFCC subsidy and represents an established, multi-location operation. However, a 2024 incident at this location resulted in serious injuries to at least four infants, including brain bleeds requiring surgery; a police investigation documented lapses in leadership, documentation failures, and reporting shortfalls, leading to multiple lawsuits in Montgomery County court and one employee's misdemeanor charge. The center's continued Gold SUTQ rating during the active investigation raises significant questions about oversight—while the network's broader quality standing and long-term track record merit consideration, the documented safety failures at this specific location warrant thorough due diligence before enrollment.
