What Parents Say

We are so lucky that we found FLCDC for our infant son in our neighborhood. The staff is amazing and our son is thriving.
We could not ask for a better Childcare Center. Everyone there is so sweet and loves our daughter like their own. Shoutout to Ms Alma, Ms Cristal and Ms Corina for being the best teachers ever! We also really appreciate the photos and updates throughout the day. Thank you Faith Lutheran for everything you do and helping our baby girl grow!
Faith Lutheran CDC is a great school with great teachers, and our daughter has made a lot of good friends and learned a lot in her time at the CDC. She really loves when it's time to go to school! The staff, parents, and kids are all close-knit and it feels like one big family. I highly recommend sending your kids here too!
Our family has two children currently enrolled and we have experienced the infant, toddler’s, 2’s, & 3’s. This is a special school. As parents, what we love most is the love and caring the teachers here show towards our children. Our children are flourishing in their growth and development and it’s more than we could have asked or hoped for. I couldn’t recommend this school enough if you are a family looking for a warm, caring, and safe learning environment for your children. We will be exceptionally sad when the time comes to move on.
Today I was a substitute at this center and it was the most ridiculous and unwelcome visit! Upon arriving at 8 a.m. on the dot, exactly when my assignment started. I ring the door bell outside of the center to get in. I can see two teachers (Corinna & Christina) in the infant room looking directly at me and I at them. I had my red bag which clearly shows I am a sub. But also why wouldn’t anyone contact someone in the office to see who I am? Nobody came after 12mins & 6 rings. I called my job and let them know what was going on, she said someone did answer and will meet me at the door. I asked to speak to the director, the assistant director came instead. She cut me off and made it seem like it always happens and it wasn’t a big deal. She came back during naptime saying “hey, girl they didn’t let you in because you also came early”…. Basically trying to blame me for her teachers incompetence. I then told her my scheduled time was 8a.m. and regardless I shouldn’t had been treated that way. What was Crazy was that another teacher was treated the same way on her first few days when starting there. So what is it? Our skin color? Our hair? Our clothes? It’s sad this place is actually a church!
