Note from CareLuLu: Please note this child care program has a License-Exempt status, it is not State Licensed. States have different licensing regulations, but in general, not all child care programs are required to have a license. License-exempt facilities can operate legally without a license, and have typically received permission to do so (this is different from a child care provider who is legally required to have a license but does not have one). License-exempt programs (such as Religiously exempt facilities or Certified preschools) are typically exempt from some of the mandatory State license requirements.
Disclaimer: the licensing status was checked when this listing was created. We do our best to keep information up-to-date, but cannot guarantee that it is. You should verify the license/permit/registration status before enrolling in any child care program.

I selected Friends in Jesus learning center because I wanted a faith-based environment with honesty, integrity, and caregivers who considered my son's well-being to be a priority. Unfortunately, this is not the place.
My son suffered a bruised leg and busted lip at this school and no one knew what happened. His teacher (Ms. Rose) was extremely dismissive and unconcerned about the situation. When I told her my son stated he informed her of his injuries, she responded, "He'll tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear." I was disgusted and appalled at her blatant disregard and unprofessionalism. She has always been unresponsive and dismissive towards me. I would send notes to school for her and never received a response. After this last incident, I was no longer comfortable with my son being in Ms. Rose's care.
I contacted her leadership and requested a meeting. I asked that my son be swapped/moved to the other preschool class or moved to the 4 -year old room since he'll be four in two weeks. My request for a meeting was completely ignored and a move from her class was denied. The next day, I received an email from the directors (Amy/ Susanne) stating because of my concerns, they will not be pulling any more payments for my son's care... I was basically told to leave.
These people have a horrible work ethic, lack integrity, and moral character. There is nothing Christian about this school. It is just a business to them. I would never recommend this place to anyone for childcare/education.
