Happy Mother’s Day! 🌷💕

We celebrated the MCA moms on Friday with a brunch - complete with gifts, a song by the preschool class, and a “Guess How Much I Love You” interactive presentation by the pre-k class.

It was a morning filled with hugs and love! ❤️

“We are so incredibly thankful for MCA and the amazing teachers who pour so much love into the children every single day. Mrs. Gambrill, Ms. Amber, and Mrs. Smith are truly a blessing—each of them is so patient, kind, and genuinely caring. It gives me so much peace knowing my child is surrounded by such nurturing and faithful women.

Not only have my children grown so much academically, but they’ve also learned so much about the Bible and God’s love. It’s been such a joy to see those lessons come home and be shared with our family.

MCA also provides a safe, secure environment, which is so important as a parent. I never worry when I drop my child off, and that kind of trust means everything.

Most of all, my children absolutely love it there and look forward to going every day—that says more than anything else ever could. We are beyond grateful for MCA and the impact it has had on our family. We have used MCA for 3 years in a row now and plan to continue till our little outgrow their programs.”

So what is on YOUR Taco? Where did it REALLY come from? Monticello Christian Academy After School Care kids celebrated Cinco de Mayo by learning about where tacos really come from and sampling salsa! Lots of wows to hear Americans eat 4.5 billion tacos each year! Thank a farmer!

So far this year they have met baby pigs, a baby goat, and a puppy. The other day Paxton says “So, Ms. Amber, what baby animals are we going to see today?” 😂

So I texted my sister in law and said “I’ve created a monster!” And she replied “I haven’t brought the baby chicks yet!” 😂 love her so much!

They loved this! ❤️
