Parents' Comments
Parent #1
My son has attended this daycare for 3 years (since he was 7 months old). My husband and I are incredibly pleased with the diverse nurturing environment that this school has provided our son. Many parents have worked hard and volunteered our time, energy, and resources to create a playground and other recreation we can offer our children. The dinner nights that the church hosts and other events are wonderful. This is a small caring place for your child and it is lovingly supported by all the members of the church that runs the program.
I have recommended this program to many people and they are all still enrolled.
Parent #2
I grow increasing disappointed, now frustrated, with most all aspects of the school. If my son did not have friends and was not about move into school within a year, I would move him. He is in preschool, of which his days currently consist of mostly singing, playing, and resting/napping for more than 2 hours. My son is 4 years old and no longer naps. I regularly complain about too many kids per teacher. Today my wife walked in to find more than 20 kids being watched by one person. My wife and I donated money as well as participated in a fundraiser to put a fence in the front yard and buy & build playground equipment. DCFS shut down the front yard. They have made little attempt in the last 2 months to gain access to the yard. They have never purchased the playground equipment.

On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
