Desert Mission Lincoln Learning Center 303 East Eva Street, Phoenix, AZ 85020

"I was first introduced to LLC when my two younger sisters attended. Once I had children of my own, I sent them there. My oldest started at LLC at the age of 4. We knew something was “off” with his speech and expressed our concerns with his pediatrician and were always told that he was performing at his age level. It wasn’t until his preschool teacher at LLC intervened and guided us to get him evaluated. Turns out he did in fact have a speech delay. Being a first time mom I had no clue how to handle such things and the staff at LLC were there to guide me. Fast forward to today, my youngest son now attends. Due to some complications during birth, my son has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I wasn’t sure how to go about child care for my son. If maybe I needed to put him in a daycare center that was for children with special needs or even become a stay at home mom to make sure his needs were met. After speaking to staff at LLC I was reassured that my son was in great hands. LLC is in contact with all my son’s therapists and have worked with them to make sure he is hitting his goals. They have asked if I needed any accommodations within the classroom such as equipment, etc. my son is now 2 years old and absolutely loves it here. He now walks and is making so much progress physically and I truly believe I couldn’t have got him to this point without LLC. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my children the way I have trusted them."

"We've got a toddler who has been going here for over a year and we are excited that our 5 yr old is joining the pre-k summer program because of how happy we have been there. The staff has been super friendly, the nurse has been great. The facility is clean and has upgrades going on thoughtfully like some new floors and a new parking lot being paved this week! The check in and out procedures are smooth and we feel very safe with our kids here. They have a great nutrition program which means healthy fresh well rounded meals and snacks for the kids. We appreciate the professionalism and care the staff provides at this great school and highly recommend you trust them with your little ones."

"I love the learning center! I always leave knowing my children are in good hands. Everyone is very friendly and most of them know all the kids by name. If you read Kait Creations review it will horrify you, but honestly all of that is a lie. My 2 year old gets a report daily of what he ate, how much, how many diaper changes he had, and how often he pooped. They are VERY thorough. My son washes his hand upon entering the class room and they all wash hands before and after meals. They even brush their teeth. If his clothes are dirty when he comes home I know he had a good time being a kid. Let me tell you this is the BEST place in town. The learning center even has behavioral specialist that come in and help hone in on any issue. This daycare even gardens and encourages the kids to eat healthy."

"My son has been going to Lincoln Learning Center for about two years. The whole staff knows him by name and we’re greeted every time we drop him off and pick him up. We get a sheet every day he is there stating when he went to the bathroom and what he did in the bathroom, how much he ate for each meal, when he napped, what we need to bring for him such as extra clothes, and notes on how his day was. There are menus printed all over the facility showing what was served for meals that day. LLC provides a variety of nutritious meals and snacks and because of this my two year old eats practically anything. My son has his own chair and cot with his name and picture. The whole staff is super friendly and his teachers are sweet and love him like he’s their own kid. I receive updates on my son’s progress and if the teachers have any concerns they let me know so that we can come up with a plan on the concern. They have an awesome, newly updated playground. I toured many daycares before deciding on LLC and it was by far the cleanest and had the highest teacher per student ratio which is why I chose it. I’m glad I did. My son have grown so much at LLC and he loves going there."

"I have no idea how this center received a 5 star. - My child is not greeted in the mornings and given the option to eat. Instead they just allow him to play. Today there wasn't even a chair for him to sit in, and food was not even offered until I said something. - The cleanliness of the facility is so-so. - My child wears glasses, and they are never cleaned! - Accidents happen with toddlers, but every day? WHAT ARE THEY DOING? Do they not see the signs and ask him if he needs to go? - When accidents happen they don't help him dress and often his clothes are on backwards inside out and are filthy dirty. - Shoes are not on the right feet. - Nose is crusty and gross. - Hands are gross. - My child may need to have more stimulation, and which any educator should know if a child is not being challenged he can get into more trouble than he should be. - The teachers do not act kindly towards me or others picking him up from school. - Class rooms are over crowded, which could be the reason why kids are so dirty and getting into trouble. - No reports are sent home, example, What activities did he do? What did they eat? Did he have a BM or go potty? I could go on and on with the things that just disgust me about this "learning facility" but I think you get the point. This place is not 5 star material."
