We got very lucky when we enrolled our kid to this school. It's a hidden gem in Lakewood , and has…read morevery high word of mouth recommendations . The teachers' in this school are so different from what I have experienced in the past. They genuinely love and care for each and every child , helps to develop their character, nurture their mind and provide them with a magical preschool experience. I can't thank the LCOP teachers' especially the beloved Miss Mary enough.The school also provides a sense of community which I am so grateful for. I was new to this area when I first enrolled my kid in the school. A lot of the co parents and teachers became my friends and helped me become a part of this lovely community.I will always have a special place in my heart for LCOP. The school has been such a blessing not just to my kid but also to my family .

You will be surprised to find out that they do not have competent 'teachers' and the director has mental issues. It is NOT a christian/loving environment. They are crazy!

I don't even have words to explain the things that have transpired having my child in their care.

Careless & insulting, staff will upright ignore you and literally turn their backs on you. Staff, patrons freely use foul language. They're unable to live up to the 'Community' in their "brand".

They'll most likely have some easy to see through reply to this to combat their reputation so they can keep getting away with abusing funding given to them.

We have been donors for over 15 years. I was evaluating my giving options and decided to stop…read morehere. We originally signed up for a specific child and that child aged out of the program then they auto set us up for another one, then another - no specific opportunity on our part in the selection process, we decided to stop. Well - that is VERY hard to do! First off you can't do it in the system - there isn't an Auto stop feature, you are required to call in, then there are scripts about the impact on the person you sponsored to attempt to retain. The call to stop took just over 7 minutes, the chat feature took about 2 minutes. If you sign up here be prepared to have to call in - which is actually nice to deal with a human so I did 2 stars for that.

For the past 10 years I've sponsored a little girl in Haiti. When I initially signed up, I was…read moregiven to understand that I could mail presents. that I would get a photo of her with the presents I sent, that I would be able to email her and get replies, and that I would continue to sponsor her until she was 18. I joined because I wanted the personal relationship this seemed to promise. At first I got photos of her with the gifts I sent her, but soon I didn't get photos unless I sent monetary gifts. No photos were provided when I sent packages through the mail. A couple of years ago they changed her address without informing me. I had made pre-printed address labels, so didn't realize the presents were going to the wrong address until one of my gifts was returned in the mail a year later. I don't know what happened to the other gifts. I sent more packages to the correct address over a year ago, but got no response. This week I got an email that said my child's community has "graduated". They included a film that showed the community has clean water and some sanitary facilities, but not a lot else. I know my child went to school, but don't know if the school will continue, what the children have been learning, or what sort of medical care they may receive in the future. There used to be an email where I could write with questions or complaints, but now I can't find it in their emails or on their site. They provide a number to call. I called and waited on hold. I got an overly chatty but rather glib man who told me my child didn't receive the last few packages I sent, that I should've called sooner, and that they are not responsible for the mail in Nicaragua. (I reminded him that my child is in Haiti.) I went to a lot of trouble to mail these things and am so disappointed. He told me I can send her a final email, but no further letters, monetary gifts or packages. I am really disappointed that this was done with no prior notice. My sponsored child is only 12. I had purchased other gifts to send her and now don't know what to do with them. The whole thing is too abrupt. I feel that World Vision has abandoned both my sponsored child and myself without sufficient advance notice or information. I also learned on this call that they've already discontinued my monthly donation to my child, and transferred it to another child in a different country without my permission. This was not clear in the emails they sent me. I told them to stop the donation as I don't want to repeat this experience. It's probably a better use of funds just to donate to a charity that provides food, education or healthcare without promising a "personal connection." Your money will be better spent, and your sponsored child won't wind up feeling abandoned.

I don't believe a child has ever been stolen, wow. The staff is loving, caring and professional at all times. The care that children get here far surpasses anywhere else. This is an establishment that goes above and beyond on a daily basis, not only do they make sure that every child is in excellent care, they go beyond expectations when it comes down to giving back to and being a strong pillar of support in the community. This is not a corporate type for profit center, you know the franchise names- this is a family owned and ran center. Their hearts and hands go into making this an excellent choice for anyone considering or needing excellent quality care for their children. Yes parking maybe tight, but it's an urban area and that's just par for the course.
