My review is based on the Child Development Center (CDC). I took two of my children to this…read morechurch's daycare/school in hopes of instilling Godly values in them, along with classroom interaction and preparation. The security system may be all whistles-and-bells, but it's the only main attraction here. Among countless reasons why we left this facility, the main reason is because my daughter's underwear went missing and the teacher's response was "I don't know... I wasn't here this morning". My then-almost-3-year-old said a teacher took it, but it was no where to be found. If my daughter soiled her underwear on accident and a teacher threw it away, okay, I totally get it, but the fact is that the teacher dismissed it like she didn;t care, and wouldn't do a thing to help find out. The "Director" of the school did nothing about it; she is horrid and not friendly with children. The church staffs the classrooms with teenage girls who lack customer service, or childcare know-how. Most women are born with it, some are not, but I'd prefer that the people (men OR women) watching my children have some experience with childcare and communication skills when it comes to interacting with parents. Lastly, before I left, a 3-year-old was left outside alone without anyone knowing... luckily, the child was fine and playing on the playground, but whoa no! So, we left the church and haven't looked back. If top-notch security is your thing, then this place is great. Otherwise, beware.

No frills or shenanigans, only the unadulterated word of God. A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
