Reviews
HCLC is truly a hidden gem for the Lawton/ Ft Sill area. I could not ask for a better place or better people to trust with the care of my children. The facility itself is clean and well organized, they also do an exceptional job of minimalizing the spread of illness thru the center with proactive measures. The staff have a true passion for children and spend much time investing in each child. They go far beyond just taking care of the basic needs by giving love and affection all day while also providing appropriate boundaries and correction when necessary too. The small class sizes are awesome and the children have a familiarity with every teacher and that makes transition smooth. There is open and daily communication between parents administration and teachers. I have endless good things to say about Holy Cross Learning Center My kids love going to school there.
My son has attended this daycare for 4 years. I would not place him anywhere else. The staff are all very loving and attentive toward the children, every staff member knows every child's name. They have great structure and an academic program. It is a great place for children I would go no place else.
