If you are considering enrolling your child at this school, we recommend being fully informed about…read moreour experience. We faced several challenges with how our concerns were addressed by the administration, particularly regarding our son's safety and treatment. A serious safety concern arose when our son received a threatening message from another student, which was documented by the principal in an email to us. However, instead of involving law enforcement, the matter was handled internally, which raised concerns for us. The principal was more concerned about "keeping the circle small." When we brought this to the school's attention, we were offered a "no-contact" contract that suggested our son was equally responsible for the conflict, despite prior incidents of aggression by the other student that we had reported. Our first request, made in January, was to have our son moved to a different seat due to ongoing issues with the other student. At that time, no behavioral concerns were raised about our son. However, after advocating for his safety, we were informed that the other student's parent had accused our son of bullying, a claim that only arose after we voiced our concerns. After refusing to sign the "no-contact" contract and mentioning we might report the matter to the authorities, we were informed that our son could be withdrawn from the school. The very next day, multiple infractions, submitted by different teachers, suddenly appeared overnight, and our son received three demerits, all over the weekend. Some of the infractions were backdated and had not been previously discussed with us. Up until that point, our son had a spotless record with no behavioral issues for nearly two years. He was an honor roll student, advanced a grade due to his academic achievements, and had won school competitions. Given the timing of these changes, we were left with many questions and documented everything. We also observed that certain staff members appeared to have close personal relationships with others involved, which left us concerned about potential bias in how the situation was handled. After speaking with another family who had faced similar issues, we felt that we were not alone in our concerns. This experience was devastating for our son. Overnight, he lost his school, his classmates, and his sense of security, all because we advocated for him. He wasn't even given the opportunity to say goodbye. When I confronted the principal about the sudden accusations, she initially denied any wrongdoing but later removed the reports from my son's record after I pressed the issue. We were left wondering why the reports were deleted if they were valid. Additionally, we were contacted over the weekend regarding new infractions, including one where our son was issued a demerit on a Saturday, the same day we essentially felt we had no choice but to withdraw him. One of the infractions raised involved a claim that our son used a Spanish phrase that he doesn't know, which we found puzzling, as he speaks very little Spanish. This raised additional concerns about the accuracy of the accusations and the handling of the situation. I documented everything, including screenshots of reports that were later deleted. As a Christian family, with myself working in education and my husband in law enforcement, we have always valued integrity and fairness. However, the actions we encountered at this school felt deeply unfair and inconsistent with those values. While we've since reported these concerns to the appropriate authorities, we believe that no child should feel unsafe or be forced out of school due to unfair treatment. It was difficult for us as parents to navigate such a challenging situation and seek basic fairness for our son. The school claims to uphold Christian values, but our experience left us questioning whether those values were truly reflected in their actions.

Very awkward vibes, and as we asked questions inquiring about the curriculum and goals and expectations, the assistant couldn't answer any of the questions. Then ultimately told us they wouldn't have room for our child in the fall. If that's the case then why are you scheduling tours? Wasting people's time. Very unprofessional and discourteous for being a faith based academy. Definitely not recommending this school to anyone.

I was at the Phoenix zoo April 15 and there was a group of students from heart cry Christian…read moreAcademy and one of the students was a little girl getting dragged around by boys in the treehouse where I had to intervene. It happened three times to her that I witnessed and nobody was watching the children they had chaperones that had their backs to the children at a picnic table and when I called the school to advise them that this is happening to a little girl I left a message. There was no return call for clarifying questions. If that was my child I would be disgusted with a school and it's ability to keep children safe this girl look like she was six or seven and a random stranger had to intervene to stop other students from dragging her around by her waist three times I expect more from a Christian school with Christian Beliefs. I did put a post on their Facebook under the zoo pictures after the school never returned my call they deleted it. They do not want anyone to know what happened at the zoo that's a little scary as a parent and the grandparent so be aware that's where you're sending your students. In addition there were boys on the ground wrestling. That was my impression of heart cry Christian Academy on an outing at a zoo where you would think they would have a lot of safety precautions in place for your children to be monitored .

Our daughter attended this in home daycare for a little over a year and it was great at first until…read moreit wasn't. Kimberlena "fired" us because we had shown up for drop off 10-15 minutes early, later that day she messaged us saying she wants to immediately stop care for our daughter. We spoke with Kimber. We were confused and distraught to be losing our childcare so abruptly over something that seemed so minuscule. We spoke with her and she agreed to move on and continue child care. This was in January 2023. In February 2023 she was hosting a Valentine's Day party for all the childcare kids but was excluding our daughter we even offered to pay for a spot so that our daughter may attend the party and Kimber refused. After that, it left a bad taste in our mouths and we decided to pull our daughter out of her program. Per the contract you are to give a 2 week notice (which we did) and you still receive 2 weeks of childcare plus your deposit back. We reached out to Kimber and let her know that we'd be pulling our daughter out of her program. Kimber immediately responded and said she was stopping care right away (breach of contract). She refused to give us our 2 weeks left of childcare then proceeded to say that we would get our deposit via mail. A few weeks pass. Still no deposit. We reach out again and asked her for our deposit. She was rude and aggressive. Called us multiple times. When I did answer the phone she did nothing but insult me and yell at me. She claimed to have proof of receipt for our deposit and proceeded to send us blank screenshots of the proof of receipts. I will be posting all of the conversations and screenshots. Fast forward to April 2023 my daughter who was 4 1/2 at the time was not having a good day. She was very distraught and saying things no 4 year old should ever even be thinking or saying. She said to me that she hated herself and her body. She was hitting herself. It was devastating. I was confused. As my little girl is so confident and spunky. That day my little girl was broken. I began to calm her down and speak with her. My daughter opened up and finally... said the words no parents want to hear. She said that another child has been touching her. And telling her she was ugly and that her body was ugly. She went on to mention very specific details about the events, where and when it would happen. I know my child and I know she is not a liar. If there's anything I've learned as a first time parent is that children are honest. My daughter shared with me that the child that was touching her was kimberlena's son who was 5 at the time (she has 7 kids of her own). My daughter said many times that Kimber and her husband Ian would be upstairs a lot and watch the childcare children through the cameras downstairs. One of the incidents my daughter shared with me was that her son was building a wall using red/blue square blocks. Her son would than ask my daughter to pull her pants down so he can kiss her butt. My daughter would say no but than he would say "I won't be your best friend anymore" my daughter than let it happen but would keep on trying to say no. This would happen inside and outside in the backyard inside the caterpillar tunnel where no one could see them. My daughter also did mention that she did want to tell Kimber but was afraid that she wouldn't believe her. Before any of this happened she wiped the app (brightwheel) all of us parents were using at the time and had us all use a new app (Procare). The app contained pictures and video recordings of the kids during childcare. We immediately made a report. There was an investigation. But they found nothing and couldn't prove that anything happened. We spoke with lawyers and it was basically my 4 1/2 daughters word against hers. Without any proof we didn't have a case. We were left to pick up the broken pieces. It was a very painful time for our family. We sought out therapy a couple of months later as this did affect our marriage and just our lives in general. It has now been a little over a year and our daughter is thriving. A couple of days ago I received an email from Brightwheel. A receipt from Kimberlena Webster.Thanking us for a payment made in cash on 7/5/2024. We have not seen or spoken to this woman in over a year! It became clear to me that there is some fraud happening. We also never received our deposit of $320 or a proof of receipt. We reached out to Kimber via fb messenger to ask her to explain the $160 charge. She was aggressive. Didn't even acknowledge that she sent out a receipt. She threatened to go to the police and "report" us for filing an SA report claiming we made a fraudulent report. She went on to say that she was going to use this as proof that we lied about what happened to our daughter.

She has her own squad do her dirty work in finding things "wrong" with other local providers. She says she's licensed because she has an LLC (not the way business works). If you disagree with her or question anything she will drop care for your child without refund (no matter what her "contract" says. She's illegally open 24/7 and is way over the "legal" child count for being an unlicensed home facility. Her own children account for at least 7 in her care. Trust me, there are legit and caring providers out there. This isn't one of them.
