Miracle Moments Christian Preschool provides reliable preschool and childcare services, offering loving and nurturing care for each child in the cities of National City and El Cajon, CA. Our goal is to work as a team with parents, sharing ideas and concerns about the growth and development of their children in our care. We believe that every child is a unique, special, and creative individual of great value, designed for a specific purpose by God. By providing a warm, secure environment, we hope to develop within each child a feeling of self-esteem. Because children profit from the opportunity to make choices, every effort is put forth to give each child the chance to move about in an environment which offers many attractive, interesting and stimulating experiences. Thus, through an individualized response to the environment each child becomes a well-rounded human being capable of choices appropriate to personal needs and the ability to develop in all areas of growth-spiritual, emotional, social, physical, intellectual, and creative.

In-Home daycare
Abundant Blessings Childcare (ABC's) was created so that we can be a blessing to other families. We are a military family and understand about being in places without any family members and questioning who is trustworthy to take care of your child. I went and spoke to many different families, including single parents, and asked them what they needed or wanted from daycare centers. Single parents said that many daycares do not open up early enough or they close too soon, so it is hard for them to work. There were military families who explained that there are not any daycare's available during second shift or duty nights. Some families just said they would like to have adult time, without their children. As a mother of a three year old, I valued everything that people were saying and so "ABC's" was created. We want to be a blessing to those families, individuals, and children, who fall in and out of the normal 9-5 business hours. While your child is at ABC's, there is teaching, education, knowledge, and fun, on a daily basis.
