    Our daughter started Ms. Chandra's daycare when she turned 3 and it has been almost a year now…read more She had never been to any daycare prior. Thanks to Ms. Chandra, our daughter adapted within 2 weeks of starting daycare. She also did not speak English before starting daycare but now she has no trouble communicating in English with Ms. Chandra and her friends. She has learned all the alphabets, can count in English and Spanish and knows so many rhymes. She can even spell her name, which is pretty amazing for her age. She brings artwork from the daycare almost every day and we have noticed her drawing and coloring skills have improved significantly. Now she is learning to write the alphabets and numbers. We are amazed by Ms. Chandra's passion, energy and ability to care for 8 kids all by herself. Ms. Chandra also provides 3 vegetarian meals each day, which our daughter likes to eat. We feel very lucky to have found Ms. Chandra and cannot thank her enough.

    When my mother found Chandra for my daughter, it was such a blessing. We were desperately looking…read morefor a daycare close to home since my daughter, at the time, was not used to being around children that much, but finding her was the best thing ever. It took some time for my daughter to get used to it, but once she did, she was on a roll. She has taught my daughter to talk more, taught her some Spanish, new songs, etc. My daughter was also well taken cared of. She is great at what she does and I will definitely be bringing my next one to her in the near future.

    This daycare is truly a blessing! My daughter is almost 2 years old and has been attending Small…read moreWonders for 5 weeks so far. Ms. Griselda and Ms. Brandy are fantastic with the children. My daughter has a difficult time leaving us, so it is paramount when someone else is able to step in make her feel comfortable. They offer a Learning Through Music class that is definitely heightening her innate music skills. They don't use peanut butter in the meals at all because of allergies. Sun Butter is used instead. All the food is organic. They don't use microwaves because crockpots are used to warm up things. This is a major plus in my book. You have to sign in and out when you enter and leave the premises. You also must be buzzed in the front, which is great because we are always concerned about the safety of our little ones. They also provide daily reports that include what they ate, learned, how many times they got changed, and there is a separate report if there is an incident. Oh, how could I forget? They also teach your children sign language!! Mic drop.......

    We chose this daycare because it is located in the same building that my husband works. We were on…read morethe waiting list for six months because our son needed to be in the youngest classroom and they only take six children at a time to maintain legal ratio for the number of caregivers to children. Each child also needs their own crib the entire time they are enrolled. He started on May 6, 2018. The first week went as well as you would expect for a child just starting daycare who has been at home with mom since birth. The second week is when we had issues. Prior to his first day, we were asked to fill out multiple pages regarding his routine and feeding schedule. During the second week on Wednesday and Thursday, he was given one bottle over the course of 8-9 hours. He was allowed to eat as much solid food as he wanted and was given no water. His belly was distended for hours after he was picked up. My husband spoke with the assistant director and was informed the center was understaffed and that teachers from other classrooms had come in to help. I am not sure how this should affect my child eating. Additionally, I was under the impression that an accredited daycare center should be aware that a child should have more than 6 ounces of liquid over the course of 8-9 hours. All of his food, diaper changes, and naps were to be recorded on a sheet of paper throughout the day that we received a copy of at the end of the day. How did not one teacher notice he was not getting his bottles? The director of the center was not in due to a conference, so my husband brought the problem to the attention of the regular early morning caregiver. She was shocked that he had not been fed appropriately. The next Monday my husband went in to speak with the director and we began working with our jobs to rearrange our schedule so that we could remove him from their care. The director informed my husband that the assistant director was supposed to have informed her of any issues regarding staffing. Apparently, this was not done in a sufficient manner since our child was not fed appropriately. The next day we were told that we would receive a full refund and, after securing alternative schedules with our jobs, my husband went in at 11am to take our child home for the last time. When he walked in one of the caregivers had all six childrens' forms in a pile filling them out. These are to be notated every time a child is fed, diapered, or finished a nap. I'm not really sure how she managed to do this for all six children at one time. This was after we had been assured by the director that our child's form would be correctly filled out. At this point, my husband had been calling the center when he was due to eat and told it was being recorded. Obviously, this was not the case. I cannot speak for the older classrooms. But I would not enroll a younger child who is unable to speak for themselves. The cost is quite high for a center that is unable to maintain proper staffing to the point that they cannot maintain basic care for a ten-month-old child. Additionally, we were told there would be forms of enrichment during the time he was there. No evidence of this was ever presented to us. We were only ever told that he wandered around the room playing with toys and refused to nap. It's been almost three weeks since his last day and we have seen no refund and not heard from the center. We will be reporting the incident to the Office of Child Care. I know this is not a horror story but it is still unacceptable.

    I had to wait my little trial before I gave this review. It has been 2 months since my daughters…read morehave started here! 1. I'm a 23 year old single, working mom of two under two, so I can definitely get irritable with new people and I am very particular about my children. I ALMOST did not continue care because of a tad bit of miscommunication but I thank God himself that one of the teachers chased me out to explain everything to me. The directors were very accountable and were/are very understanding when it came to my reaction. 2. My eldest daughter went through a rough transition into daycare. (We literally have been inseparable since the day I met her) We have been to 5 different daycares solely because she was not adjusting to not being at home with me. The first two weeks were very hard; from the tantrums every morning. Ms. Rosa and Ms. Marcella were so patient with her and ME! My baby runs into the building to anyone who opens that door. 3. I am not used to packing lunches and I would feel bad about whether I was doing it right. Ms. Erica and Ms. Ichi gave me so much advice and reassurance about packing lunch with a picky eater. They helped me through my daughter's lactose intolerant issues and were very understanding and reassuring about babies eating habits. Now my kids are well on schedule and I don't have that mommy insecurity anymore. 4. SUPER SHOUTOUT TO MS.ALMAYA She is nurturing, sweet, caring, gentle, grace-handling teacher I've ever met. This is the first person I have ever seen my oldest run to, to be consoled. MY daughter will NOT let anyone do her hair. But don't let Ms. Almaya be in that room, these babies be sitting down perfectly for her. She has a soft spot for every single one of these children and you can feel her glow as soon as she spots one of her students. Evangel Christian Child Care Center did their big one hiring her. You can tell she loves being there! 5. My preemie daughter who was supposed to go into an under developed program is now on track with all her milestones, has successfully transitioned onto formula (with the patience of Ms. Marsella and Ms. Rosa) and Lord knows I struggled getting my exclusive breast fed baby on a bottle in general. My daughter is crawling and trying to stand up all within 2 weeks at 8 months and she wasn't even sitting up last month. I don't know where ECCCC are finding these teachers, but if they are coming out the same pot for the grade schools, this generation of babies, toddlers, and children are going to be extraordinary. 6. Don't get me started about these children... the manners these toddler boys are learning first of all... everyday I come in its always a child waiting for all the 5:45pm moms to arrive to hold the door open for us. While mom/dad is saying "okay this is the last person, no more holding the door." The friendships and bonds these children are making.. I can not even express the pain in my cheeks after Ms.Wendy asked me if my eldest was a good big sister because she caters to the other children and then not even a minute later, I am watching 6 children run out the room and yelling my daughter's name in baby jibber. I see children walking into the school and introducing my child by name to their parents. I got into my car and almost cried because of the struggle I had finding a perfect daycare and the fear that my child would struggle with being social.. just to see that my children are radiating happiness whenever I say lets go to school, when they get to school, and when they see their teachers. The struggle I have getting my toddler out the building is absolutely insane. 7. You know you have a good daycare when you have a lobby full of parents joking and laughing after working. I would've never thought babies and children would recognize me as I'm coming to pick mine up.. never in a million years. Seeing under 1s recognize other parents of under 1s is so telling. The Apugos are so amazing, I count the hours down because I am always excited to see the staff and families. They have truly impacted me and my motherhood journey.

Explained my child had special needs and would be more comfortable in his former preschool. A spot opened a week after I paid my deposit to hold his space which was over a month before camp was set to begin. These people cashed my check within two days after received and said they would not return my deposit. I think the director should have made an exception but would not. Apparently they must have a cash flow issue if they felt they needed to keep my deposit. For that the business won't be blessed or full. My child is happy and having fun at his former preschool. 260 a week for summer camp is a rip off.

I was extremely nervous because my child wasn't going to be in the care of a family member any longer. When my daughter started, she knew her ABCs, numbers 1-20, shapes and colors. A couple of months later, my daughter was writing, reading and able to sound out words she did not know. She also learned how to count to 100+ and add and subtract! I was actually blown away with all she learned in such a short period of time. In addition, because the class is small each child receives enough 1 on 1 time with the instructor, Ms. Millis. Ms. Millis, is a wonderful teacher. Under her care and teaching, the little ones are not only very well educated they are also taught the love of God. It's a special thing because it keeps children grounded. My daughter absolutely loves Ms. Millis and she respects her a great deal. My child is now an early entrance student and scored 99% in all categories (reading, writing, math) to be accepted to Kindergarten. I'm so proud of my daughter and I am so thankful that we found this school! During the summertime, if the children remain enrolled they go on field trips everyday to places like Aviation Museums, Amusement Parks, Playgrounds, Rollerskating, Bowling, Swimming etc. If you are looking for someone that cares for your child and does extremely well educating children while centering around the Christian faith...You can't go wrong! I have one more child that will be ready in a year or so to start preschool and without any hesitation FELC is my choice.

We went to an Open House and within 5 minuted I knew this was where our kids would go. We met Mrs. Burkhardt and Mrs. Jones and could immediately tell how much they cared about the kids. We loved that it was a family run school and that their teachers and staff had worked there for decades. We put in an application on the spot and didn't look at any other schools. Our oldest daughter loved her 3 years and Casa and her younger sister couldn't wait to get to Casa. Now their brother is anxiously awaiting his turn. Casa is truly like a family. Our kids have had Mrs. Burkhardt, Mrs. Jones and Ms. Burkhardt and each one of them is a fantastic, caring teacher. Everyone at Casa clearly cares about all of the kids. I appreciate that they have pushed our girls to try harder and tailored their work to what they are interested in. I am always amazed at some of the work that comes home. My first grader is doing some of the same math that I see my 2nd grader bring home from public school. We consider ourselves so lucky to have found Casa. My daughter gets upset when I pick her up "too early" from school so that is how I know we made the right decision. We will be sad when our time at Casa is over, but luckily that is still a few years away!
