Just Kids Christian Academy

"We've been with this center for years. I was in the Army for far over a decade and with that, I've enrolled my older kids in CDC after CDC, after school care, daycare, ...the works. There has never been anything like what we found just around the corner from our home. We've seen our little ones fall apart, clinging to stay with us over the years, melting down and telling us how much they have hated other places. This has never been the case at Just Kids Olmos. Our kids are loved, they're home, and they're part of a family. It's so valuable to have a place that your children are loved and where they are happy and taken care of. Mostly, it's important to trust those with which you leave your children on a daily basis. I've never had one concern over the years with Just Kids. Both our kids had a spell where they stayed sick. The center staff would call us to pick them up due to fever or something of the sort. My husband and I were frustrated. It's a process, which I understand. It's what's supposed to happen. But with two children getting sick and missing work at least every other week, we were frustrated. Perhaps even frustrated with the staff. Not once in that difficult time did they let our frustration become a problem. They were compassionate, graceful, and understanding. They loved our kids and wiped those snotty noses. These are the people raising my children. I couldn't ask for better staff. The things they do for families, for the kids, and for their staff is incredible. Having photos taken when we're too busy to take the time to do it, celebrating our little ones, allowing families to come to the center after hours for Halloween parties or seasonal festivities. These things make this place, "home". Yesterday, the audit service for the center gave me a call & I realized at that moment I've never taken the time to express my gratitude for what everyone does on a daily basis. I've never said, "thank you". From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful, thankful, and blessed that my children have this place. I'll never replace this facility. I've been spoiled here. I told the auditor that she was basing her review off my "opinion". I think it's important to know facts. I am not the only parent that has been here for years. Many people will move and make the drive to stay at this center for their kids. Many people will remain here for years or only know this center because they love what this center provides their children. I think assessing the years of how long folks stay at this center is extremely important in measuring the value that's provided to us each day. Those facts are an invaluable tool in understanding just how much the silent parents and kids love this place. Too many of us don't say a thing. I am sure there are complaints, as that is really the only time our society seems to speak up these days. We get frustrated when our kids are sick and we are 'inconvenienced'. We'll even shoot off at the mouth when we are emotional but we don't take the time to share the gratitude for what happens here year after year, kid after kid. There has been so many amazing moments, so many great things, and so much love spread across all the kids in the center. I have failed to acknowledge how great it is to just to have endless peace of mind while I work. I'm here to tell you that as a parent, representing so many parents, we love this place. More than anything, we love that our kids love this place. I'd like you to know just how amazing this place is for all of us. For the parents that are busy but know their kids are safe and loved, for the kids that can't articulate how they feel and how happy they are, and for the center, that deals with the parents that have a payment that won't process or a child that needs to be picked up, I'm here to speak for them and say this place is amazing. I wouldn't change a thing. I just think it's so trivial that someone knows how great they really are each and every day."

"We absolutely LOVE Just kids academy ! Miss Christy and Nancy kept a great attitude and always greets with a smile ! The center does a great job at hosting wonderful events for the kids and families ! My daughter loves her school ! She adores Miss Gabby !! Miss Gabby does a great job keeping the students engaged! Also assisted with getting my big girl potty trained ! We are only leaving due to my 3 year old starting PreK & thanks to Just kids she’s fully prepared! Will recommend to anyone !"

"This location is the best! The teachers are very loving towards both my boys. My 3 year old was potty trained in 2 weeks because of Ms. Caryn. Their learning syllabus is high reaching for the age group and my child is always stimulated. During the summer they have water days on Thursday’s. With my son terrified of water, they are helping me get him use to it. I honestly think they think my boys are there’s. They treat you like family and they go above and beyond there daily duties! Highly recommend this place. Trust them 100% with my children!! Never moving locations again!!"
