Immanuel Christian Child Development - Ridgecrest, California

David Lind

We have been going to Immanuel CDC for about 4 years. 2 kids now, from the daycare to the before/after school program. I CANNOT say enough good things about this place. It is a top notch facility with top notch staff who really care about each other, and all the kids. The director is very caring and listens if you have any specific concerns or needs. All of the staff treat the children like their own. Both of our kids are ahead of the curve academically, because of all the work the teachers put in helping them learn to read and write. The before and after school program is also wonderful. The kids have a healthy breakfast before school, and a healthy snack after. The teachers help with homework too. The staff retention rate is very high, which speaks volumes to what kind of facility it is overall. I highly recommend Immanuel CDC for anyone looking for a daycare or before/after school program.

Our family has nothing but wonderful things to say about ICCDC and the amazing staff who work there! Both of my children attended from infant class through preschool. With my son also attending the after school program for Kinder. My kids LOVED going here and would even cry that they didn't want to leave each day. Dr.Ratna has always been wonderful from day one and through the pandemic she has really demonstrated true leadership and acted out of the safety and best interests of the children. I cannot thank her enough for keeping my babies safe during an unknown time. We were blessed to have teachers like Ms Jaime, Ms Ana annd Ms Maritza who my children just adored and taught my children so much. Their reading and writing skills are so advanced for their age thanks to what they learned here, my son was more than ready for Kindergarten. Having moved away from Ridgecrest, I can truly see just how fortunate we were to have had such an amazing childcare facility like this. Monthly tuition is affordable and well worth every penny. Having moved to SoCal, and paying almost double the price, which does not even include lunch and school transportation now, I realize just how good we had it at ICCDC!! This center and the wonderful people who work there, will forever hold a special place in my family's heart.

The parents of Ridgecrest are really lucky to have such a great, affordable NAEYC accredited program at Immanuel for infants to kindergarteners, even for non-religious families like ours. I am extraordinarily thankful for the work and care the director, Dr. Raj (PhD in childcare related field), and her staff and teachers have put into the curriculum and care at ICCDC. I believe the care our infant received here for almost a year was foundational to his development and learning. They provided a safe and clean space for plentiful hugs, nutritious food, taught sign language, music, dance, arts and crafts, and structured playtime.

We moved away from Ridgecrest and already miss the exceptional service ICCDC provided and are struggling to find an NAEYC accredited program at such an affordable price in our new area.

Thank you Dr. Raj, Melnida, and the ICCDC team, baby Henry and his parents miss you!

My son attended this school for the past 3.5 yrs. During that time the staff treated him like family. His teachers were kind and patient, and helped him develop into a wonderful child. The hours were flexible and I could easily drop by to take my son out for a lunch date. Their daily routines were good in helping him find a secure structure throughout the day. He also was ahead in his learning because of this daycare, and was well prepared for kindergarten. I definitely recommend this daycare, and am sad to leave them (we moved to a different city).

Immanuel Christian child development center is an excellent place to send your children. The teachers do an excellent job and the place has a prestigious NAEYC accreditation which is the gold standard that no where else in Ridgecrest has. Christian values are also taught and the place does a great job of helping with character building, playing well with others, and learning to read and write before kindergarten.

Horrible, my son went to that school for 4 months, the director is horrible , she will kick your kid out if you have a disagreement with her or stand up for yourself when she calls you a horrible parent and my two year old has anger issues cause he throws tantrums. When to ask to see the videos, they won't show them to you. This place isn't Christian, I feel bad for the employees that have to work on under the director. If I can give no stars I would!

Love them! Great care and love the teachers! At times when events were going on at my other child's school Immanuel would make accommodations for my other child to stay later. I always appreciated this!

This will be the third story I've heard of kids being abused in this daycare and nothing is being done they don't call the parents or the police when they find out one of the teachers is abusing the children In fear of looking bad I recently pulled my child out for this exact reason ironically the delete video evidence if u ask to see that day your kid was there as well the manager Rottena has no idea how to run a daycare and could care less if your child gets hurt here weather a teacher or staff is shoving dirt in a kids face to the point they can't breath or leaving marks from ripping them up by the arms because ur kids crying being extremely rough with babies it becomes a problem they handle illegally we need to shut this place down and the manager needs to be fired for neglecting the kids and letting this abuse happen don't allow your kids to go here
