Sugarhouse: My child went from 6 months to 3.5 years old. Yes, they had teacher turn over during a time, but they corrected this quickly and found constant amazing teachers. My child will miss going to this place and so will we.

Sugarhouse: We had a great childcare experience in the infant room but chose to leave after our experiences in the 1-2yo rooms. Our child was always safe and happy, but there was too much turnover in teachers and issues with communication. He had about a dozen different teachers in a month. Most emails to the director went unanswered, even ones about communication concerns so I felt like nobody cared about my concerns as a parent. My husband’s emails also went unanswered and have heard the same from other parents. There were also weeks without any check outs or pictures from the teachers. And teachers were often sitting up on counters away from kids just on their phones at pick up and drop off. I wish I had known about all of this before sending him there. It’s much better with his new daycare though. He is thriving, development has really taken off, and his teachers are consistent.

There is not a teacher here that doesn't just love kids and what they do. All of the staff are great with the children and adults alike and are willing to talk to the parents about class, policies, or other various questions. They have small group sizes and always have two teachers in the room.My favorite feature of this center is the family app. They enter in activities, what they ate, when diapers were changed, and who checked them in and out. They even send us pictures of the kids having fun during the day! And parents are invited to send pictures of the kids to the teachers.They are also consistent with the curriculum and share with the parents what the kids are learning. My son is now in Crickets class (age 2), and he is learning words in English, Spanish, and ASL.I highly recommend St. John's Community Child Development Center every chance I get.

First day of camp my daughter was concussed and gashed on the face. Instead of getting her immediate attention they laid out with her in the sun in wet clothes. When I arrived, they minimized her injury and didn’t accept responsibility for not watching the kids vigilantly. Instead they tried to meter my reaction to their failure. Incompetent caregivers!!!!

I would never recommend this as a decent place to work or have your children attend. Do you want a place where reality is swept under the rug? I was extremely naive about this “non-profit” church/ business. This is your typical r@cist and cl@ssist “Christian” have no values-non profit industrial complex combo. Exploitation and dehumanization is rampant. Children deserve more than lame resource hoarders and a violent environment.#gatekeep#gaslight#girlbossGo on other websites like GD and FB to see reviews, here and on FB the legit reviews are removed and replaced my reviews from workers who probably were paid to write something sugar coated up or are fake.

We had our little girl here for over a year (from 1 year old to almost 2.5) We had some good experiences but ultimately withdrew from this daycare due to a teacher yelling at the little ones. This inappropriate yelling happened 4 days in a row (that I know of). We are gentle parents and do not believe in yelling at children, ever.Additionally we found out this teacher also spanked our child.

We have LOVED St. John’s for our one year old. She is well taken care of, learns a tremendous amount, and is happy to be dropped off each morning. It is such a great feeling to know you are leaving your child in the hands of such capable teachers and caregivers. We are moving a bit further away from St John’s soon but will be continuing to send our daughter because we love it so much and trust the people that care for her.

We Love St Johns and our son does too! The programming and curriculum is wonderful. There is a good balance of structure and free play, exactly what kids need at this age. We feel 100% safe sending our son there. We are thankful to have a place we can trust to send our son during these crazy times!

I'm so happy that we have the babe here. She's well cared for and obviously loved. I am not worried about how she's doing throughout the day, which allows me to focus on the work at hand. I enjoy being a mom more now knowing she's happy, healthy, and learning/socializing.

St. John's is a great program. They are very community-oriented and the children are always very happy to be there. They help and serve as a resource for families. They have also been able to stay open through COVID-19 and have been diligent in keeping kids and families safe.

Because of St. John’s CCDC’s negligence, our son would have been left outside, presumably well past school hours, unable to leave his post to seek help, fearful that he will miss his pick-up from St. John’s CCDC program’s “trusted” counselors.

Because of St. John's CCDC's negligence, our son would have been left outside, presumably well past school hours, unable to leave his post to seek help, fearful that he will miss his pick-up from St. John's CCDC program's "trusted" counselors. Despite having both mine and my partner's phone numbers and email addresses, we received no notice that our son would NOT be picked up from school for St. John's CCDC's After School Program. We spoke to a counselor, St. John's CCDC representatives, each time we picked up our child Mon-Thur, and again, received no communication regarding Friday's upcoming program closure. We discovered our child would not be picked up, 1hr 20 min before the expected pick-up time, when we called to inform them we would be picking up our child that day. Only because we had been courteous in taking the necessary actions to ensure their childcare staff would be well prepared to attend to children in their care, not delayed by or waiting for our absent child, did we find that the same interest was not shared by St. John's CCDC program personnel. Under no circumstances would we ever entrust our son's care, in any capacity, to St. John's CCDC Programs and/or staff. I sincerely hope this feedback aids them in implementing the necessary corrective actions to ensure that no child is kidnapped or otherwise harmed in their care.
