First Christian Church Child Development Center

First Christian Church Pomona Child Development Center is a wonderful school with an amazing staff of teachers. The director of the school is on top of the programs and really makes all families feel welcome and their child secure. The learning development has the right structure, while child learns with play. Teachers are nurturing and are great value to the program.

The First Christian Church Pomona Child Development Center is dedicated to constantly improving its services to provide the best care possible for both staff and children. The Center operates like a big, happy family and hopes to expand its reach in the future. The Center's curriculum includes essential components such as literacy, numeracy, colors, shapes, art, social-emotional development, motor skills, and science, which covers topics such as living creatures, planets, and plant care. Every month, the Center has a different theme and focuses on specific colors, numbers, letters, and shapes for the month. This approach ensures that infants to preschoolers learn about various subjects as they grow. The First Christian Church Pomona Child Development Center also provides a ZooPhonics curriculum, which helps children learn their alphabet while learning about animals. For instance, Allie Alligator represents the letter A.

I first decided to bring my little one (LO) here because they actually communicated with me (unlike the Montessori down the street). I made an appointment and got a full tour of the facility. I was able to get her in on about a week (the only holdup was getting her into the doctors office for a physical. Since then, my LO has thrived. Her doctor says she’s been talking like a 2 year old since her 15 month appointment. Granted, we read to her at home and she watches Sesame Street, but she spends 9 hours a day, 5 days a week here, so they definitely get some of the credit too. She’s also getting socialization with other kids her age, which is SO important (both from personal experience as an After School program Director, and based on scientific studies regarding what factors contribute to children’s future success). The teachers are all very patient and kind, and every teacher knows all the kids (even the preschool teachers know my LO even though she’s way too young to be in their class). The entire staff takes state regulations very seriously, which means you will not have a situation where children are being crammed into a basement for the money (this happened to a friend of mine). The kids get to play outside, do art projects, explore, play together, they get breakfast, lunch, and multiple snacks, and they takes regular naps. There’s an app they use that updates you on all the feedings, nap times, diaper changes, etc. They’re open later than all the other childcare centers I found in the area (which helped with my work schedule), at an incredibly reasonable price. I’m really glad I signed my LO up here!

This is the most wonderful, warmest environment for children to learn. Teachers and administrators are so kind and nurturing. The curriculum is academically educational, learning through play and with the right touch of caring fun. They serve ages 0-5 and the staff is wonderful. I highly recommend this center.

The school is very nasty the floor aren’t clean at all, the windows are very dirty, they don’t clean restrooms. I had to spray for ants and spiders. The kids kept on getting bit The classrooms have a lot of chip paint. The roof is falling apart They don’t treat their black staff as equal. I bought things for the kids in the summer to do activities far as water play the school didn’t provide anything for the children, beside, food, and snack, they paid for one summer field trip, and the teachers had to take them in their own personal car, because the school doesn’t have their own transportation to provide field trips for the students. The teachers provided a lot of activities for the kids and those teachers are no longer with the school.
