We've had an outstanding experience at Zion, and it truly feels like a hidden gem! The teachers and staff are incredibly warm and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we walked in. The center itself is spacious and, most importantly, very clean! We toured several other facilities in Lodi, and none compared to the cleanliness and care we found here.
The outdoor play area is lovely, providing a great space for the kids to explore and play. The classrooms host fun parties for every holiday, making each occasion extra special. Our little one has blossomed at Zion, from improving in speech and artwork to learning the alphabet, numbers, and even the months and days of the week. The teachers are also incredibly supportive during potty training, and it went much more smoothly than we anticipated!
One thing that really stands out to us is the calm, positive energy of the teachers. We've never seen anyone lose their cool or raise their voice. It's clear that the staff at Zion are truly special, and we feel so confident that our child is in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment.
We wholeheartedly recommend Zion to other parents. It's been a wonderful experience for us, and we couldn't be happier with the care and attention our child receives here.

My daughters have been at Zion for a year and a half now.
My oldest is 4 and my youngest has been there since she was 10 weeks old. I’ve had horrible experiences at other daycares, both home & center, with my oldest. Zion has been so wonderful for my girls. Nothing hurts more than dropping your kid off to a place and hear them crying when you walk away. My girls are always happy to go to Zion.
The office staff and teachers have been great and always helpful.
If you are shopping around, looking at reviews are great. But I urge you to look at the license notes on all daycares you are interested in. I looked at each one in the area and Zion had the best record on paper as well, which is what made me pick it in the first place :)

My daughter has been attending Zion since she was 18 months old and is now 4. The teachers are caring and always greet her and are excited to see her (and me). I love that she is learning social emotional skills as well as some academics. She will be more than ready for TK in the public school setting next school year. We have had some family emergencies and Jenn has always been accommodating to let us add a day. Chris is also very friendly in the office. We left another church daycare in Lodi where the employees were unhappy and the state had called me several times about reported incidents. This prompted me to check out Zion. I am more than happy with my decision and my daughter loves it! Thanks for treating my daughter as one of your own Jenn, Bren, and Ashley (and all of the other amazing employees)!

I’ve had enough childcare experiences (home, private, etc) to say this is a good place to have your kids. Regular cleaning is done, teachers are kind and attentive to the children. The staff as a whole is warm, friendly and considerate. We’ve been here for several years with more than one child and this has been my best experience. Thank you ladies (& Chris) for creating an exciting and loving space for my kiddos.

From the moment you walk into this daycare it smells bad and it is all worn down, they clearly do not take pride in first impressions. The classrooms have beaten up dirty toys and the rugs are also so dirty like they haven't been washed ever. I still made the mistake of giving them a chance and enrolling my kids here. From day one they would always come home dirty the babysitters wouldn't even mind wiping their little faces or changing them if they spilled something on them. Diapers were also wet like they hadn't been changed in hours. Which as a result due to lack of hygiene my kids were always sick and had every sort of virus you can think of from severe pink eye to constant diarrhea and fevers from viruses I have never even heard of. To make matters worse no matter how cold it is in the morning you have to drop off your little ones outside from 7am till up to an hour until their babysitter arrives. It's ridiculous when they have a gym that they will only use if it rains but not when its like 37 degrees outside. A baby outside in freezing weather for up to an hour out there, not for my kids. Also, good luck if you ever need to speak to the director. She has horrible communication etiquette. Will take forever to respond back to emails and is not even friendly or welcoming. I would highly recommend you take your kids somewhere else.

If you are good with your child contacting hoof and mouth, being exposed to head lice, getting bites from other children and having a diaper rash repeatedly, then this place is for your child. All these items happened within a few months of attending this day care.

If you are good with your child contracting hoof and mouth, head lice, getting bit by other kids and have repeated diaper rashes all within a few months, then this place is a great place to take your child.

I used to work here. Truly great teachers who love and care for their children. The management was great as well with a very supportive environment for teachers.
