Our daughter reads, had tech, Spanish, library, art, science, piano lessons, Bible, daily worship. It was such a wonderful day that she enjoyed. They were so welcoming, caring, and had awesome community activities for us to get to know others. As a military family, it is always hard to get to know everyone and feel welcome. We wish we didn't have to move and could stay for all of elementary school!

They truly teach for the love of the kids. The Student Life…read moreCenter is almost done. There is no lunch room and a lot of their other classes ( art, Library and music ) are in trailers that are cold in the winter and hot in the summer. But the love for the kids is really great. It's a small school with lots of heart. The older kids help mentor the young ones and help the teachers out a lot. It has the homeschool feel but with other families. The class room sizes are small at most 12 kids. I drive 45 mins (one way) for my kids to go here. It's worth it!! Feel free to call and make an appointment to tore the school. They teach the kids about computers in Pre-K. It's amazing what this school does with the little money they have. Come see what the love of Jesus Christ can do for you and your family.

Parents ask me all the time which school gets the most out of their students. My answer is always the same; NAPS. This is the best run, most efficient, and nicest school you'll ever come across, period. I don't know much about how tuition works or any of that but I'm sure it's expensive to send your child here and for good reason, you get what you pay for. The quality of the education your son or daughter receives stands head and shoulders above the rest. I'm not saying other schools in the area are garbage or anything like that. I'm not putting other schools down let me be clear. Just that in my years of experience working with kids in after school, the teachers and administrators at NAPS do a better job than most. If you care about your child's future then definitely check this school out. I give them two thumbs up!

NAPS is a warm and welcoming school. The teachers are phenomenal, the curriculum is rigorous, and…read morethe children are kind and friendly. The staff is responsive and helpful. I particularly like that social/emotional learning is a major focus at NAPS. Intentionally building and teaching character is very important to me. Great school!

We absolutely love this daycare and couldn't be happier with the care our daughter receives here…read more Our 19-month-old is thriving--she can count to 10+ independently, knows her ABCs, recognizes animals, sings full songs with motions, and communicates her needs clearly. While we work with her at home, a huge part of her growth comes from the daily learning, structure, and encouragement she gets here. Mr. Julius is an excellent teacher--he genuinely cares not only about the children's learning but also their emotional well-being. He's very attentive, warm, and engaging, and it's obvious he loves what he does. Every teacher in the building knows my daughter by name and treats her like an individual, which means so much as a parent. Tanya, the administrator, runs the facility wonderfully and shows great care for every child. She and the staff spend a lot of time cleaning, which has helped keep my daughter healthy during cold and flu season. One of the true backbones of the facility is the woman who prepares the meals. You can tell that the children and her role mean a lot to her--she takes great pride in the center, spends time cleaning, and engages warmly with the kids throughout the day. Her dedication really shows, and the children clearly love her. The kids are always busy with fun activities, outdoor play, and celebrations, all while learning and growing in a supportive, nurturing environment. It's no surprise this center was recently recognized as one of the top daycares in the state. The quality of care is outstanding, and the pricing is very reasonable compared to other centers in the area. We feel so lucky to have found this place and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a daycare that truly cares about their children.
