Nazareno Child Care has been my childcare provider for both of my [redacted] husband and I love Ms. Alison and her diligence in making sure our children are safe physically, emotionally, spiritually and academically. The greatest compliment that I can share is when I'm at work I'm able to focus on my job because I know the exceptional level of care my son is receiving.

Sending our children to Alison’s was the best decision we made! She’s very attentive to children and treats each child like they are a part of her family. She was able to accommodate my daughter’s food allergies and asthma. The environment is a very safe and clean location. Alison communicates well with the parents and sends updates to keep parents informed on what the children are doing. I highly recommend her as a child care provider!

My daughter was with Ms. Alison from the age of 8 weeks until she was almost 3 years old. When we moved out of the area, we wished we could take her with us! The kids were always learning and exploring through play, they were able to get outside and experience new things (like gardening, learning about nature, etc). We absolutely loved the care we received with her, and still talk about how great she was several years later. We truly recommend her daycare, and have many times throughout the years. In fact, if you go somewhere else, you are really missing out on a gem!
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much Jess! I truely enjoyed your daughter! I loved seeing the expressions on her face when we would introduce new teachings. You all will always be family and NCC appreicates you!

Ms. Alison is awesome and was perfect for our family. We wanted a home based daycare that provided structure and love and found it here. I am so happy with the growth I have seen in my son and he was prepared for pre-k when it was time to go. So sad to have to leave but they do grow up! Thanks for loving and caring for our son!
Response from the provider:
Thank you Marie! I was honored to care for your little man! He was a joy to have each day. Thank you for being such a supportive family.

I don't even know where to begin. My daughter Evan has been with Ms. Alison since I returned to work and she was 6 months old. She came home after her first day babbling and talking more than she ever did before! Alison treats every child with the love and care you can only dream of when having to leave your child in someone else's care. The hours are great because my husband and I both work early, so we're able to drop her off at 6am. They have a curriculum they follow throughout the school year, so it's organized. They have field trips and so many different learning opportunities both inside the daycare and out. I can't say enough about NCC. I love them! They're like family. I'm dreading the day my daughter "graduates" from here and moves on to Pre-K.
Response from the provider:
Awwww Rachelle! Thank you! You and your husband have been a great addition to the NCC family! I will continue to provide the best care possible and cherish every moment I have left with baby girl! She is my little Evan! Even when she turns 18 she will still be my little Evan!

My daughter was with Miss Alison for three years until she started kindergarten and in that time she grew up in a daycare full of love and direction. The daycare wasn’t just a place my daughter went for the day, it was her second home where she was surrounded by love, joy and happiness. If she didn’t start school, she would still be going to Miss Alison.
Response from the provider:
Thank you Kim! I am so proud of her! She is a World Changer! I know for a fact that she will be great becasue she already is! Look out world! You and hubby have been awesome over the years. God bless you.
