My son has been at Precious Lambs for the past year and we love it. We are sad he will be going on to Kindergarten. We looked at other daycare options and the classes were too big. I love that the classes are small because I know my son gets the attention he needs, especially in the beginning since it was the first time my son was out of my care. They offer a healthy menu with lots of variety. Ms Julianna is so patient and you know she really cares about the kids. Pastor Phil is awesome and will always happily greet you. I also love that they have Bible time. My son comes home telling me stories out of the Bible. I would strongly recommend Precious Lambs to parents.

My son stared at Precious Lambs barely talking and there was a gap in his learning process. Now, not only he is talking, but he knows everything he needs and is prepared for kindergarten. He also can re-tell with accurateness the stories of the Bible! I love the Christian Education offered. Although we love the bible stories and chapel time, I must say that nothing beats the way that the staff shows us Jesus in their speech, their actions, and their hearts! My child is always welcomed with smiling faces. I go to work knowing that he is safe and loved. The teachers, director, pastor, and helpers go above and beyond to create an amazing, clean, and healthy environment for all of the little lambs.

Both of my children have gone to Precious Lambs and I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful this school is. From the Director, to the teachers to the chef, they are all wonderful, amazing people who truly care about the children. I personally love how small the school is and I believe that aspect helped my children feel safe and at home. I have nothing negative AT ALL to say about this school...they have my heart and two thumbs up!

We love Precious Lambs! I truly cannot say enough how wonderful the school is, and how we love it. My youngest 5-year old daughter attended the Precious Lambs in the past year. It is simply the best (my other kids attended other 4 different day cares, including Montessori school). Before we chose Previous Lambs I visited other day care centers in the area. Precious Lambs is not large enough and it even does not have many facilities as other schools have, but I had no hesitation to choose it, because I was totally convinced after I read the staffs' qualifications on their website. One day Mrs. Royann Heckert gave me an evaluation report she did for my daughter and I was totally shocked! It was a 20+ page very comprehensive report about my kid's reading, math, art, behavior and so on that I have never read before. Really, it was a very professional and comprehensive report! The teachers are just awesome and excellent, just name a few, Julianna, Royann, Devan, Cindy, Kaylee, and Pastor Mr. Philip Kiecker! Royann said Julianna is the best teacher she have seen in her 30+ years work experience and I totally believe that! Not only the teachers, but also the kids! The kids in the school are awesome too! I have never heard any complaint from my daughter and I have never received any incident report in the past year. The kids in the school really have very good behaviors. Young parents, I highly recommend this school to you! You will love this school as I do now!

Update January 2024: More and more concerning. While the care has been mostly ok, the management of the facility has worsened. 1) The tuition has increased dramatically. Even when your child moves up to the next grade level, and you think you'll be saving on tuition, you end up paying more, because the prices increase so sharply every year that the grade your child is moving into will now cost more than the grade your child was in previously. 2) The are far too many closures throughout the year. In some months, there are 7 days of closures, just within the month. Throughout the year, there are just so many closures, you end up spending all of your PTO days to compensate for the closures. This does NOT align well with the drastic increases in tuition. For these prices, there shouldn't be that many closures. 3) Drop off and Pick Up are complicated compared to any other childcare. You need to pay EXTRA beyond 8hrs per day of care. That means you need to know exactly by when you are able to drop off and pick up every single day of the month. If you're just one minute late past your indicated pick-up end time (which you already pay extra for), you'll be charged additional late fees. It makes it complicated and does NOT allow for any flexibility. However, they expect you to be flexible when THEY ask you to pick up the child early for any given reason. It is one-sided and somewhat inconsiderate. ========== God Bless Precious Lambs and all of the wonderful staff. The child care center is a place of love. Clean facilities, educational activities, nutritious food, nurturing staff, proper safety precautions during Covid, very organized schedule, timely communications. ... the list goes on. Beyond grateful to Precious Lambs, everyone there becomes your family.
