My son just started K-3 this year with no other school or daycare experience. He is learning extremely well and I am so happy with his academic progression as well as his social skills. I account is his progress to his loving teacher Ms. Williams. I thank her for not only working with a nervous parent but for also loving my son.

My daughter has been at First Baptist CDCA since she was 2 1/2 yrs old. I have been very impressed with her development. She is presently in K-4 and she is reading extermely well. Adding and Subtracting as well as being very excited about learning in general. It has been been well worth the investment to have my daughter reading me bedtime stories @ 4yrs old.
