ABC123 Christian Academy in Apple Valley (15022 Manhasset Rd) is a CCLD-licensed center serving children ages 2 and up with a Christian curriculum emphasizing spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional, and physical development. Established in 1997 with a capacity of 57 children, the center stands out for weekend availability—Saturday hours from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm make it one of the few childcare options in the area offering weekend care. A robotics program for ages 6–12 provides STEM enrichment beyond typical preschool, and bilingual support in English and Spanish broadens access. Parents should verify the current CCLD license status before enrollment, and note that the center serves ages 2 and up only, with no infant program available.
