Our youngest spent the last year and a half at Lindenwood before starting kindergarten this year. The growth we saw was exactly what we were hoping for. He made great friends and loved his teachers. We always felt good about the communication and knew we were in good hands.

You know you are in a special place when people like Josie and Mr. Joel greet you outside every morning. We will miss LCCC, but look forward to participating in LCCC camps in the future. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Our daughter was at Lindenwood from infancy through JK — almost 6 years — and I can't imagine a better start for her.
What mattered most to us after safety was warmth, and Lindenwood has it in abundance. The teachers genuinely cared for her as a person. Watching her run to hug them every morning warmed my heart and told me everything I needed to know about her experience. That kind of attachment isn't something a school can manufacture; it comes from people who love what they do and love the kids in their care.
But this isn't just a warm place — it's a well-run as well. The director and staff are educated and grounded in the science of early childhood development, and it shows in how thoughtfully the classrooms are structured and how consistently things are managed. Our daughter left thoroughly prepared for kindergarten academically, socially, and emotionally.
They also sparked something in her I didn't expect to see so early — a genuine love of learning. She is endlessly curious, asks questions about everything, and has a creative streak that Lindenwood nurtured. She comes home wanting to build things, invent things, and tell us what she discovered that day. That joy in learning is a gift that will serve her for the rest of her life.
Parenting doesn't happen in isolation, and Lindenwood was our village. They helped set a beautiful foundation for her life.
My only complaint is that they wouldn't add grades past JK, despite my best efforts to lobby for it — otherwise she'd never leave. Thank goodness for summer camp, because I couldn't imagine not coming back (which is also why I couldn’t muster a goodbye letter). Truly a very special place.
Thank you, Lindenwood. We're so grateful.
We are so grateful for the love and care our daughter received at Lindenwood Christian Child Care Center. The teachers and staff treated her like family and created such a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for her to learn and grow. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such wonderful hands each day. We highly recommend Lindenwood to any family looking for exceptional childcare. We will miss everyone there so much, and they’ll always hold a special place in our hearts!

Lindenwood Christian Childcare Center is the place for your family - trust me! This is a community that cares for the whole family, it’s been a place where children are genuinely seen, loved, and nurtured every single day.
As a mother who is an advocate for high quality early childhood in Memphis, I can say with complete sincerity: not once in three years did I experience a moment of worry or frustration. Entrusting your most precious people to others takes an enormous leap of faith, and Lindenwood never once gave us reason to waver.
Over the last three years my babies were shaped and cherished by some of the most exceptional early childhood educators we’ve encountered, each bringing their whole heart to this work.
We will continue to recommend this place to every family, every new baby, and every parent searching for a high quality daycare option. We are endlessly grateful and will remain cheerleaders for this place for years to come.

Bringing a child into the world is a life-altering experience. When it came time to return to work, we found comfort knowing our child was in a safe place. Lindenwood has been such a gift to us as working parents. From day one, Lindenwood gave us confidence knowing our children were loved, protected and amongst other families trying to provide the best for their families. Looking back over the past six years, I have no doubt we made the right decision for our family. We are thankful that we were given the opportunity to be part of this wonderful community of students, parents and teachers. We are forever grateful for LCCCC.

We had our son enrolled at Lindenwood for 18 months and if it weren't for moving out of state, he would have been there until kindergarten. It truly felt like an extension of our family! We started in the Lamb class with Mrs. Sandra and moved onto the Panda class with Mrs. Lisa. I can't speak highly enough of them and their assistants! I had zero worries each day knowing my son was receiving top notch care. Not only are the classroom teachers phenomenal, the director (Mrs. Josie), assistant director (Mrs. Stephanie), and security (Mr. Joel) quickly became like family. We appreciated the clear communication, class parties, and many other aspects of being at Lindenwood. They definitely set the bar high! Although we have moved on, Lindenwood was a huge part of a pivotal chapter of our lives. We talk and think about our days there often and miss everyone dearly. If you have the chance to be apart of the LCCCC family, it is not one to pass up!

We had an incredible 1.5 years at Lindenwood!
Our infant enrolled at ~4 months old in the Bunny classroom, then moved up to the Panda classroom.
Lindenwood treated us like family from the very beginning. They made us feel incredibly special. The teachers are kind, caring, dedicated, and passionate. The staff always greeted us so warmly everyday. We knew every day that our child was loved and nurtured.
We particularly enjoyed the ease of Lindenwood every day. Hours (7am-6pm) and location (super convenient) were a key factor in our initial decision. We never looked back. We loved the daily updates via Brightwheel. We'd highly recommended Lindenwood to all interested families.
While we've since moved, we will always look fondly upon our time at Lindenwood as a pivotal moment in our lives and our child's development! We're incredibly appreciative of our time there.

The teachers and directors are kind and caring, and it's clear how passionate every employee is for the well-being of each child. Not only did we always feel like our son was safe and happy, but that he really was thriving at Lindenwood. When we moved away from Memphis, Lindenwood was the hardest goodbye for us. Highly recommend!

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone at this daycare for taking such wonderful care of my two babies my 2-year-old daughter and my 3-year-old son. From the very beginning, the teachers have been so patient, loving, and kind with them. They always made my children feel safe, happy, and excited to come in every day.A special thank you to the director you have always been so helpful, understanding, and supportive. Your kindness truly made a difference for our family, and we appreciate everything you’ve done.It’s our last day here, and it’s bittersweet. We’re so grateful for the amazing care, the smiles, the learning, and the love you’ve given our children. Thank you for being such a positive part of their early years. We will miss you all!
