Great place for your kids. Wow.....I was a little wary at first sight about bring my little one…read morehere, the building is small and old but once i was inside i noticed every square inch was used for the kids. The teachers have been there forever which is rare for a daycare. Staff is caring and understanding. No corporate excuses or changes. The summer program was packed with stuff to do. Bowling, Alhambra, Adventure Landing, Beach, Parks, Skating......Etc. The playground has everything.....and i mean everything from swings to a rock climbing tower, seesaws to little play houses. Oh yea and the price is great. Kristi

We recently moved to Atlantic Beach and upon arriving to this new area of town, we realized that…read moreall VPK programs in the surrounding areas were full or on a waitlist. I came across Beaches Chapel and School being on the list of providers who has a VPK program. Upon calling them to schedule a tour, Jane the front desk receptionist, made it very clear that if you didn't have intentions to enroll your child for further education at their establishment after the VPK program (meaning pay to go there), then they would not accept my child into their VPK program. I am beyond frustrated that they would discriminate against a child just because of a parents financial situation or their intentions to continue school at their establishment. Their name should not even be on the list of approved VPK programs if they are going to pick and choose what children they are willing to work with (or should i say the parents they are willing/not willing to deal with). Because this isn't about us parents, its about the children. And due to this school - my son may not be able to attend a VPK program, which he so desperately needs. I will be contacting the Early Learning Coalition Board to report this school for discrimination. Seems as if they really only care about money! UPDATE: after speaking with the principle, she told me she was a "business woman" and needed to fill her spots with paying students so they can fund their school! Business woman my ass! That's about all she is. Need to get someone in there who cares more about providing an education to their students vs dollar signs! The state is paying her either way for my child to be there with the VPK program. But she said that she doesn't want to have to fill the VPK spots with "non paying students" and then have to worry about filling kindergarten spots the next year. she already wants to have those spots filled from the VPK student so she doesn't have to work twice as hard. WOAH! Is all I have to say. Use your best judgement when choosing this school. And make sure they don't just like you for your MONEY!

Glenda & Nancy, the directors, make safety and compassion a priority. The class sizes are small so you don't ever feel like you're leaving your kids at a 'daycare'. Our kids beg to go to school because they make learning such a fun experience. They have weekly stretch & grow (which focuses on physical fitness and healthy habits), they have seasonal festivals and special parties for holidays. They really go the extra mile and sincerely love each and every child that comes through the doors. They have a security system entry and take extra precautions to ensure all classroom allergies are addressed. This preschool has the perfect blend of warmth & quality education.

We were introduced to Beaches Chapel School through their summer program. Our 6 year old had an…read morewonderful time in the program. Every morning she awoke excited and ready to learn. I found the leadership in the school to be warm and very much engaged with the well-fair of the children. The camp was filled with engaged parents and student volunteers. The children (volunteers) were very well behaved and set a great example. This led us to inquire about enrollment for the school year. I was introduced to the administrator and senior pastor. They were both very nice and invited us to tour classes during session. We have foster children and they were very supportive and went out of their way to provide information on how we can get scholarships for them. They also introduced me to another family that attends the school. If you are looking for a good school, you should visit them. They provide education from VPK through High-school.
