It's a great place for precious little ones to experience school for the first time. The teachers truly care about each of the students! They faithfully pray for them, guide them to try new things, give them opportunities to shine, keep them safe and use positive reinforcement liberally. As a former teacher I cannot say enough about how happy I am with my child's two years of preschool there! There is no time wasted during the day. The children are always learning. I am particularly impressed with how the learning objectives/concepts of the week are seamlessly woven throughout all subject areas. My daughter was well prepared academically and socially to start Kindergarten this year.

We had nothing but good experiences here and highly recommend it. The teachers are very patient with the children, older children help younger children settle into routines, and the school even helps with potty training when the time comes. When our daughter started Kindergarten at the local elementary school, we found she was far beyond her classmates in math. This school prepared her well. Your child will take time to settle into the new environment. It took my oldest nearly six weeks. The school will work with you, so be patient and don't blame the school if your child isn't ready.

This place is a freakinnn' mess…read more After essentially being pushed out just two days in, I was told I'd get a full refund, minus the two days my son was "in school", yeah.. ok. What I got instead was several weeks of back and fourth emails, and a check that was finally recieved via snail mail aka USPS. I thought: "FINALLY", cause... hey, we're talking a little over $1,800. I go to deposit it and lo and behold.. IT'S NOT SIGNED. Yes, seriously, they sent me an unsigned check. From there, I went back to the email thread, going back and forth a million times with accounting and random people who never introduced themselves. An aggressive email from a random staff member named Patricia, who never introduced herself or her role in the whole situation. I didn't receive any phone calls, no apology, no accountability. Weeks go by, and I don't receive another check, so I filed a dispute with my bank after attempting to resolve this for over a month. Guess what? I finally heard back from accounting. They tried to get me to cancel my dispute so that they could issue a check again. I said nope! Thankfully, a week or so later, my bank was able to refund me the entire amount after literally faxing them our email thread and the unsigned check. Please do not bring yourself or your children here. The staff here is unprofessional and incompetent and needs to brush up on their customer service. Avoid. At. All. Costs.

They do lots of activities for babies i was very surprised tge did painting hand prints foot painting with my baby. I like how they are very organized as well i never have anything missing from her bag. And when they change my 10 month old i noticed one day the teachers will wash her hands i was suprised at that they are very clean. I never even thought to wash my infants hands but ever since i seen themdo it i have continued. My 10 month old claps her hands. I like how the teachers document everythingabout my baby from six months to now everyday i can look back at what she did, learned and, and ate down to how long her naps were. My 3 year old loves it there as well. She always has to tell mrs. Domson goodbye when i pick her up. Also she has her favorite teachers as well. My 3 year old now knows a few prayers she actually started a tradition everytime we eat we pray i like that its something new she picked up from the school and she has implementedit in my house. Also she has me read her a book everynight. I like how the teachers are very interactive with the children. By far one of the best pre school in modesto. They will also call you if they hace questions or concerbs about your child instead of going off what they think is best to do. I like how they keep me invilved with my children when im at work keeps me at ease.

This is my experience as a parent to other parents, I am not in need of a response from any person affiliated with this place. The director and the owner lady (her picture is seen here as owner) are fake frauds. They smile and say all the correct things until they no longer like you. When attempts were made to work directly with the teacher, it seemed great, but not to these two ladies, next day I was asked by them to meet so they could tell me bluntly we are going to dismiss you and your child from our center, sign here, let's go collect your child's items. Okay bye! A household with two working foster parents. This was a foster child. Oh yeah, It was a no go to have a county social worker visit child at the site...huge red flag. Can't begin to express the hardship they made me go through when asked if my child could be given albuterol for asthma. Christian compassion?! What a joke. I pray their ministry is better than the practice of their child care center. God bless this place, for they know not what they do.

Our daughter…read morehas been attending Refuge Christian Preschool since November 2023, and I must emphasize that both my wife and I are very protective--some might even say too protective. In fact, I am often referred to as a helicopter mom. Initially, we planned to homeschool our daughter because we believed we were the only ones who could ensure her safety and care. However, as she grew older, we noticed her longing for more social interaction, especially since her sister is significantly older, and the only time she was really able to socialize with children her age was during Sunday classes at church. So, we decided to look around and see if we could find a place that felt right. After some research and a few school tours, we found Refuge. The school administrator, Lisa, was absolutely welcoming and wonderful. Based on our impression, their mission statement, and feedback from our daughter, we decided to enroll her. Fast forward to today, I must express how completely satisfied we are--actually, satisfied is an understatement. We are beyond pleased with the amazing people dedicating their time to our daughter and all the kiddos! The level of love from the director, Ms. Dina, and teachers Ms. Jodene, Ms. Alexis, and Ms. Natalie is something every parent prays for when leaving their child in the hands of someone else. They are excellent at communicating with parents, go above and beyond to make the kiddos feel safe, and the special events they create are truly magical. I am the kind of person who is an overthinker and can usually point out anything that is not right, or tend to correct things that are not being done as I would do them when it comes to our children. But with the nurturing teachers that our little girl has and Ms. Dina overseeing it all, I can honestly say there hasn't been any cause for concern. I actually feel a sense of ease dropping her off at school every morning, and for me that is definitely saying a lot!!! Some highlights for us include the growth we've seen in our daughter, the excitement she shows when she tells us about her day, and the scriptures she learns and recites. There are so many amazing things I could say about Refuge, Ms. Dina, Ms. Jodene, and Ms. Alexis, but the best testament is that our daughter genuinely loves them, and that means everything to us! We've been happy with many decisions we've made, but enrolling our daughter at Refuge is by far one of the best!

I did my research before hand and was scared to trust anyone beside myself with my angel girl, but Maria came recommended and I can say this is the best decision we have made as a family.

She's patient, loving, and really cares about my child, from development needs has been open to so much.
