What Our Families Say

  • LGCDC has the best teachers! They are very considerate and affectionate. My kids love their teachers. My 4 year old compliments her all the time. What I like the most is how loving everyone is. That is something worth all the money ever invested.

  • I love the friendliness of the staff, they treat my boys like family! They have an excellent curriculum for the prek program! My oldest could count to 100, read the level 1 sight word books and write the alphabet by the time he went to kindergarten. Best preschool and after school program ever!

  • My son LOVES LGCDC. We can tell that he is loved and well taken care of and that he loves his teachers, Ms. Jastin and Ms. Misha! LGCDC has taught our son some wonderful faith-based curriculum as well as helped our son talk and potty train. We feel comfortable leaving him at daycare for the day which is essential for our family. Thanks to our teachers and admin!

  • LGCDC has been an absolute blessing in our life. When my husband and I first moved to Lakeland, we needed a reliable daycare with great people. There was a waiting list but when we got that call for our 3 year old it was amazing! He went all the way through their pre-school program. I eventually enrolled our second son and now our daughter is there too! We use the after school care too! I’ve been with these ladies and daycare for many years—I don’t plan on leaving until I absolutely have to! They’re like my kids second family; very blessed to have LGCDC!

  • My daughter has loved her time at LGCDC! They have a great curriculum while still letting the kids play and be kids. The staff are wonderful, they all know every child by name, and actively communicate with parents. Love them!

  • My children have been at LGCDC for years now. Every staff member is so incredibly caring, down to earth and friendly. I feel so assured that my children are in the absolute best hands when there.

  • LGCDC has been such a blessing to our family! Daisy loves her teachers and my husband and I are so grateful that everyday she comes home telling us not only about the colors, letters and numbers she learned about that day, but also about Jesus and her love for Him!

  • LGCDC has always been outstanding with our son. All of the staff is very patient and caring. I get fast responses from staff. Always recommend LGCDC to family and friends!
