Daycare board - Any experience with FCA?

If you are talking about Family Christian Academy off bluebonnet then we like it pretty good. It probably doesnt have all the fancy stuff a lot of them do but it’s pretty affordable and they give daily progress reports and what not. Our little one seems to love going to school everyday so can’t complain. I haven’t heard anything bad from the other parents either

FCA was the only one we could get into years ago without waiting until August. It also seems cheaper than other places, probably because they are more old school and don’t have the technology other daycares have.

No video/app where you can watch your child live. I somewhat preferred it like that, I drop my kids off and never worry about them at all. Teachers were excellent, not a single one that we had issues with or I was uncomfortable with taking care of my kids.

They are big Christian themed so that was great. Being able to drop off as early as 7AM and pick up as late as 5:30 with no additional charge was nice.

One gripe was as they moved from infant room (where they can’t move) to the crawler room (where they start playing with other babies), they seemed to be sick half the time. This is obviously common as they build their immune systems, but just be prepared to take off work a lot or have a grandparent on standby during this 3 month transition period.

They also give you a 1 week vacation pass per year where they reimburse you the weekly amount ($200 or so) if you take them out for a full week. They also did all of the potty training at school which was very helpful.

They rarely close for weather / holidays. The daycare is often open even when the rest of the school is closed.

Sorry, this is longer than I meant it to be but thought you’d appreciate this. Yes, I’d recommend FCA.

My son has been there from infant to the 2 year old class.

Previous comments are accurate. They have some solid teachers in the most of the classes, but have had turnover and trouble getting quality teachers for others. K1 being the toughest.

We are leaving this summer for k3 at a different school. We took a tour of k3 and k4 at FCA and were not impressed. Other schools are doing STEM and Art and FCA is just more daycare.

With BR traffic OOC you want both at the same place if possible.
