What Parents Say
Immanuel Christian Child Development Center receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from most parents, with praise for qualified staff, academic advancement, affordability, and NAEYC accreditation. However, two negative reviews allege serious concerns including director misconduct, alleged child abuse by staff, and lack of transparency with video evidence.
We have been going to Immanuel CDC for about 4 years. 2 kids now, from the daycare to the before/after school program. I CANNOT say enough good things about this place. It is a top notch facility with top notch staff who really care about each other, and all the kids. The director is very caring and listens if you have any specific concerns or needs. All of the staff treat the children like their own. Both of our kids are ahead of the curve academically, because of all the work the teachers put in helping them learn to read and write. The before and after school program is also wonderful. The kids have a healthy breakfast before school, and a healthy snack after. The teachers help with homework too. The staff retention rate is very high, which speaks volumes to what kind of facility it is overall. I highly recommend Immanuel CDC for anyone looking for a daycare or before/after school program.
Our family has nothing but wonderful things to say about ICCDC and the amazing staff who work there! Both of my children attended from infant class through preschool. With my son also attending the after school program for Kinder. My kids LOVED going here and would even cry that they didn't want to leave each day. Dr.Ratna has always been wonderful from day one and through the pandemic she has really demonstrated true leadership and acted out of the safety and best interests of the children. I cannot thank her enough for keeping my babies safe during an unknown time. We were blessed to have teachers like Ms Jaime, Ms Ana annd Ms Maritza who my children just adored and taught my children so much. Their reading and writing skills are so advanced for their age thanks to what they learned here, my son was more than ready for Kindergarten. Having moved away from Ridgecrest, I can truly see just how fortunate we were to have had such an amazing childcare facility like this. Monthly tuition is affordable and well worth every penny. Having moved to SoCal, and paying almost double the price, which does not even include lunch and school transportation now, I realize just how good we had it at ICCDC!! This center and the wonderful people who work there, will forever hold a special place in my family's heart.
My son attended this school for the past 3.5 yrs. During that time the staff treated him like family. His teachers were kind and patient, and helped him develop into a wonderful child. The hours were flexible and I could easily drop by to take my son out for a lunch date. Their daily routines were good in helping him find a secure structure throughout the day. He also was ahead in his learning because of this daycare, and was well prepared for kindergarten. I definitely recommend this daycare, and am sad to leave them (we moved to a different city).
The parents of Ridgecrest are really lucky to have such a great, affordable NAEYC accredited program at Immanuel for infants to kindergarteners, even for non-religious families like ours. I am extraordinarily thankful for the work and care the director, Dr. Raj (PhD in childcare related field), and her staff and teachers have put into the curriculum and care at ICCDC. I believe the care our infant received here for almost a year was foundational to his development and learning. They provided a safe and clean space for plentiful hugs, nutritious food, taught sign language, music, dance, arts and crafts, and structured playtime. We moved away from Ridgecrest and already miss the exceptional service ICCDC provided and are struggling to find an NAEYC accredited program at such an affordable price in our new area. Thank you Dr. Raj, Melnida, and the ICCDC team, baby Henry and his parents miss you!
Immanuel Christian child development center is an excellent place to send your children. The teachers do an excellent job and the place has a prestigious NAEYC accreditation which is the gold standard that no where else in Ridgecrest has. Christian values are also taught and the place does a great job of helping with character building, playing well with others, and learning to read and write before kindergarten.
