Some staff was loving and caring (hence the extra star) and bonded with my children, however…read moreadministrative staff was challenging. My child developed significant behavior issues because the staff was often favoring their own children who attended at the same time over kids whose parents did not work at the center. Staff children were rarely held accountable and tended to bully other kids. I agree with the previous reviewer regarding the director. She is very unprofessional, does not want to take accountability for issues and tends to blame the child or parent. J's demeanor is very passive aggressive and unpleasant, she is slow to respond to issues from parents. There is very little diversity among staff and children. I've seen kids exclude other children because of their skin color and staff refusing to address issues of racism among children. I don't recommend it.

She has learned so much and I feel she is so prepared to begin kindergarten next month! The teachers and staff are amazing! They truly care and show that to each of the kids!

We would definitely have continued her education here...we love it that much!!!

This is our third child to attend peace Lutheran. We are very glad that we made the decision to…read moreattend Peace for our children's school. Not once in the past six years have we ever had any issues with the school the kids love it here they enjoy the teachers and they enjoy making new friends every day. The interaction is awesome and the teachers make sure to do a good job of keeping the parents updated on what they're doing every day. My wife and I also got married at this church and we attend church year. They try to serve breakfast at least a couple times a month to really keep the community together. The church is very proactive and do a lot for the community I'm very proud to have me and my family members here.

My daughter went to preschool here in Fall of 2012. Prior to going here, she absolutely love…read moreschool. After the school year started, she became more withdrawn regarding school. I was talking with her teachers and preschool director about this for a few months because it was only worsening. The teachers were extremely rude and their only advice to me was that we had to have play dates with the other families/children from class. How was this the only solution and why was this required in order for my daughter to enjoy and thrive in school? Finally one day at home, my daughter told me that "my teachers at school hurt me" and she showed my how they hurt her -- grabbing her arm hard. We immediately withdrew her from school. Not only did we have a major struggle integrating my daughter into a new preschool since she was scared to death being in a classroom environment, but she still thinks about her horrible experience there and told us out of the blue 6 months ago that "my mean teachers kicked me" and she demonstrated that to me. Kids don't have the ability to make this stuff up..!!! What is most upsetting is that we were members of this church and the pastor told my husband "we have never had complaints about these teachers". Well good for you!!!! After we stopped going to this disgusting church and preschool, our daughter eventually healed and we got her back again!! She went to an absolutely amazing new preschool who helped her become less scared of school and she got her excitement back again for going to learning!! She made tons of friends at her new school, learned a lot, and loved going! My biggest regret was not taking her out of Peace Preschool sooner.
