EDIT ON MY REVIEW: Because I shared an honest review of my experience with this child care center,…read morethey chose to block me from their Facebook page -- the only place where my daughter's Pre-K graduation video was posted. I was able to watch it once during the livestream, but now I can't go back and rewatch or save that special moment. As if not being allowed to attend in person wasn't already enough, they've taken away even the ability to revisit that memory. If hearing the truth about how families REAL experiences is upsetting, perhaps the solution is to reflect and improve -- not silence the people speaking up. At no point was I unfair or disrespectful and chose to leave names out. I simply shared my experience, and for that, I was shut out of something that should have been about the kids, not the school's pride. Because of this, what was originally a 3-star review is now a 1-star. This isn't just about me -- it's about how this center chooses to respond to honest feedback from the families they serve. Original: As a parent new to the area, I had high hopes when enrolling my child into the Pre-K program at LCCC, even though only a couple of months remained in the school year. Unfortunately, our experience has been a mix of positives overshadowed by several disappointing moments. During our initial classroom visit, the front desk staff kindly introduced us to the pre-k teacher. However, she continued with her work and did not acknowledge us until she was finished, which made the interaction feel awkward and unwelcoming. She eventually addressed us, but only after a noticeable delay, and commented on how it was unfortunate that our child wouldn't have a full end-of-year binder like the others -- making it seem as though our arrival was an inconvenience rather than a welcome. To be fair, the teacher appears to be very knowledgeable and clearly understands how to run a classroom. Her methods reflect a strong educational background and she demonstrates excellent teaching ability. However, her demeanor often feels too strict for a group of 5-year-olds. She can come across as dismissive, particularly when a conversation doesn't seem to interest her. In early childhood education, warmth and approachability are just as vital as structure, and unfortunately, that balance felt lacking at times. Keep in mind, I am only speaking out of the couple of months of knowing this teacher. At this point, She could have just been over it. I understand that no school is perfect and I truly appreciate the hard work educators put into early childhood education. Still, clear communication, empathy, and a sense of inclusion are essential - not just for children, but for the families who support them.I hope LCCC takes this feedback as an opportunity to improve and better support both students and their parents moving forward. Communication issues extended beyond the classroom. While the front office staff is generally polite, they are not especially helpful or proactive. Due to the word limit of the review, I was unable to include two minor but personally meaningful incidents. The first involved a situation where a parent had the teacher announce a pool party to the entire class, only for my daughter to later learn she was not invited. While I personally did not take issue with this, it was understandably very disappointing for my daughter. The second incident was a possible miscommunication regarding graduation. It's possible I missed an important announcement due to my limited Spanish fluency, as some information was shared in Spanish. Additionally, I may have missed a key moment due to arriving five minutes late when dropping my daughter off but was still left in the dark upon arrival.

Sharing on behalf of my sister in law:…read more I LOVE this place. I was scared of sending my 5 months daughter to a daycare during the Covid time. However, I had already done a tour at this location back in January 2020. Ms. Rosemary showed me how clean and organize the place was from the inside. My little one started attending there back in September of last year, and I loved it since then. The staff is extremely friendly, they always keep me up-to-date of everything, they always greet my little one with a smile. Ms.Candy is always welcoming all the little ones in the morning with a huge smile under her mask. All the teachers that I have interacted with are absolutely amazing. I don't know all of their names but Mr. Rick, Ms. Carol, Ms. Alejandra, and Ms. Cari are WONDERFUL! They're professional in the way they handle any situation and they make my mommy heart comfy when I am at work. My little one enjoys her time there and NEVER came home with dirty clothes, diaper rash or any misplaced items. God bless all the staff and management there!
