Description:
It is very important to us to make sure that you know that we care and appreciate the opportunity to care and educate your children. We want to know every child, every family and all the little milestones in between. To not just get to know one or two of our children and their parents but to connect to dozens. To be able to convey sometimes a week of learning into a five-minute conversation. It takes a teacher who knows how to set boundaries and enforce them consistently to succeed in a classroom. To enable children that can take direction as they are learning to explore. In early childhood education what your child learns in the stage sets them up or knocks them down in their future learning. Our goal and highest achievements are to take your children into our care and give them back to you upon graduation not only with the skills necessary to succeed in school but with independence and confidence. We want our children to be challenged to complete a task that they can eventually do all on their own. To provide a rich environment where your child will feel safe to explore, initiate learning and feel free to express themselves.
Our wonderful staff and I are very excited about being part of your child’s educational future. We look forward to working with all the parents and families on establishing positive relationships. Respect, knowledge and trust are crucial parts of this relationship. Making sure families, caregivers and teachers are all on the same page will avoid any communication issues and everyone benefits – especially the children. We want to enable our children to head off to school with positive skill that will allow them an easier time transitioning into future classrooms. In education, the world is ever changing, and we learn and evolve with it to provide the best level of education possible. There is always something new to learn and explore, for us teachers as well. If you have any questions or concerns the best way to get in touch with the center is through email at: Childcare@ToledoFirst.org. You can also call us and leave a voicemail.

This growth is encouraged not only by daily planned small and large group activities, but even more so by the smile they receive when they enter our doors. Our goal as a staff is to help your child grow to his/her potential as well as have the best time of their young lives.We believe that by providing relevant teaching about the Bible along with transformational worship and community, people will find meaning and inspiration for life. This will ignites a passion for Christ and His cause and changes the trajectory of a life. We become hope-filled. We experience remarkable ways to seek and follow God.

Don’t know how to answer the phone
The previous Director and Assistant Director with a combined 30+ years experience left in August 2018. Since then, the center has lost 6 teachers, has placed an agnostic in charge of the "Christian" childcare, removed the word "Christian" from their Social Media presence and no longer have the children pray before their meals. It's possible this daycare is not in compliance with the state requirements in maintaining staff to children ratio.
Any idea a parent may have that, because their children are attending daycare in a church and therefore being exposed to a Christian atmosphere, will be disappointed. This daycare has been converted from a ministry to a business.
I have had my son attending over 6 mo..... He is currently in the toddler 1 room. My son adores his teachers and the friends he has made. He has shown a ton of growth academically and emotionally since I moved him from his past childcare facility. They are extremely clean as I have personally seen cleaning personal there every day. The staff has identified his routines and accomodates to them daily. They eat healthy food and snacks have art baby yoga outdoor play and circle time instruction daily.They are courteous and warm when communicating with parents. I am not sure if the staff and management has changed since the previous comments but I LOVE this establishment compared to his past two. I recommend them to anyone!!!!
The management was rude and had teachers stay there even when sick there is not enough coverage.
Management is rude. Belittles their employees in front of other employees and parents.
Disrespectful and even threatening.
. They dont have enough kids to warrant even having a full-time/part-time teacher, as they send teachers home early all the time.
They do NOT follow state regulations until the state lady is there and present. Which is very confusing for new employees and then yell at the staff when it's done incorrectly.
They do not properly clean toys, or follow disinfecting regulations. They are rude to parents, yell and even argue with them. They do not TEACH your children, everything is a coloring worksheet, if you want to prepare your children for school, I do and would not recommend this facility to anyone p even my worst enemy, the children deserve better.
