We have been blessed with teachers who love their students, take time to know them individually, and develop a lasting relationship with both the students and us parents. Whenever I have had an issue, it has been resolved quickly and to my satisfaction. Those who truly believe in a God-centered education will not be disappointed. DCS is safe, positive and provides a diverse selection of advanced academics, athletic opportunities and enrichment programs. I've read other reviews, and no school is going to be a perfect fit for everyone. It's not reasonable to expect that. Schedule a tour and observe the students in their regular environment. It's a vast difference from the bullying, language and drama in other schools. You will see genuine friendship, acceptance, and camaraderie. This eliminates wasted time spent on conflict and promotes a positive learning experience. Don't take my word for it- go see for yourself!

The elementary administration and teachers are outstanding and absolutely deserve 5 stars. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the middle school. While the introduction, meet-and-greet, and initial impressions were wonderful, only one quarter in and things feel chaotic and extremely disorganized and unsafe, not from external but internally. It functions more like a public school with one added Bible class. Some students frequently fight--or as their discipline coordinator calls it, "roughhousing"--and there seems to be little control over students' language, so constant cursing is simply tolerated, pushing each other, hitting each other "playfully" is okay and if your child is in the crossfire or yourself "oh well".

The things that attracted us to select Paraclete High School are the Safety record of the school with respect to students, the class sizes and the overall small school atmosphere.

She is prepared for college and even today tutors some of her college friends with Essay writing and other academics they struggle with. We will always be fans of Paraclete! R.

WARNING to Parents: Toddler Left Naked for 45+ Minutes Over Potty Training Policy…read more I'm posting this to inform other parents about what happened to my 2-year-old daughter while she was enrolled here. She is not fully potty trained by their standards. One day, she had an accident, and the staff left her completely undressed in the bathroom for 45+ minutes. They told me they would not help her get dressed unless I either came in person to do it myself or paid additional money. When I arrived, she was still unclothed. There was no medical or disciplinary reason -- just a policy they enforced tied to toileting status and payment. Refusing to assist a toddler with basic care needs, especially hygiene and clothing, is unacceptable. At this age, children rely entirely on adults to meet their needs, and any facility working with toddlers should be equipped to handle toileting accidents in a safe and respectful way. If you're considering this school, I strongly recommend asking specific questions about how they handle toileting, accidents, and what support they actually provide when a child needs help. This experience was extremely disappointing and raises serious concerns about their practices.

Professional, Caring, and Patient - Highly Recommend Small Wonder Daycare…read more I waited a few months before leaving this review so I could really see how things went with my son at Small Wonder Daycare and I'm so glad I did. From day one, Ms. Veronica (the owner), along with Maddie, Ms. Rayen, Ms. Anna,Ms. Johnson,Ms. Evelyn and the rest of the staff and aides, have been amazing. My son needed a little extra attention adjusting to a new routine, and they showed him and me incredible patience and care. They kept in touch, sent updates and photos, and made sure I felt confident leaving him in their hands. Some of the negative reviews I've seen seem to come from parents expecting constant personal attention. I get it as parents, we worry and want to talk to teachers often. I've had moments where I didn't fully understand certain rules at first either. But rules are rules, and policies are policies they're in place to keep children safe, comply with laws, and keep the daycare running smoothly. For example, I've seen complaints about potty training policies. While I understand why a parent might be upset, as a business owner Ms. Veronica has to follow regulations and safety protocols. If a child isn't fully potty trained, there are certain things aides can and can't do, and extra care sometimes comes with extra costs. It's not that they don't care they care deeply but they also have to meet licensing standards and protect the children and staff. Over time, I've come to truly appreciate their professionalism. Not only is Small Wonder a safe, loving environment, but it's also an educational one. My son has learned his numbers, months, and made huge strides in social skills. The program is both play based and school-focused, giving the kids the best of both worlds. If you're looking for a small, private, more intimate daycare where children are loved, taught, and cared for in a professional and patient way, I highly recommend Small Wonder Daycare. They've made a real difference for my son, and I'm grateful to have found them. If you are looking for a day care make a decision based off your own experience and not what one disappointment from a parent says. Understand it's a business as well as a day care facility. There are cameras in the facility as well. I'm sure parents can ask to see that as well, if ever needed. Not everyone is going to be happy and trust me I was one of the more difficult parents and small wonders was patient and kind. I seen another review stating that Miss Veronica treats you and your children different if you are not of a specific race, color, ethnic background or doesn't reach her family dynamic qualifications. That's not true because I am bi-racial, (African American and Latina), and I've never felt myself or my child has ever been discriminated against . But to each its own! I think this facility is great ! I have attached pictures to back up my review . I highly recommend this facility!!

This facility focuses on the well-being and academic nature of your children and gives the kids a Headstart on curriculum that will prepare them for grade school. His teacher is Miss Karen and she is so kind,loving, patient, and creative. Not only does she teach the students, but she takes the time to learn your child individually, and that's a big factor for me because it lets me know that she see my child. My son is already bright however he was very reserved. He's been attending this school for a little over six or seven months now and he's doing phenomenal between the work of Miss Karen and I, he will be more than prepared for kindergarten!

We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a daycare with a great staff and a great Owner as she is also easy to communicate with. We value what they do for everyone in the daycare family.

One month after school started I'm called by bus company that my son will be arriving 20 min late. But he us late everyday except for minimum days. So I go get my son. Bus driver ask me for i.d, I tell her it's upstairs in 3rd floor I called her supervisor to identify myself as mom. But they said they are following protocol. Yet when they called me they failed to mention to me to take my I.D, the bus driver got my I.D then proceeded to hold my son back from walking towards me after having my i.d in her hand panic attack. I have emailed and called they just don't care. I'm not sending my son in the bus system any longer obviously these people don't care about protocol when sending a letter or calling about being late all the time. Hopefully the bus system shuts down because they are useless.
