I am only giving one star as you have to give something to review. The first 6 months we were…read morecomfortable with the school. As time went on there were many red flags that in the beginning were more of an annoyance than anything. Things like losing jacket, clothes, kids coming home in other diapers that were not ours, always being asked for diapers and wipes when I just provided etc. The owner is very hard to communicate with. I witnessed on 2 occasions cursing in front of the kids. I saw very short tempered behavior/lack of control with the kids by the owner andI also noticed this with her own children. My request for no sugar (except birthdays) was ignored. Our kids came home always very thirsty and would ask for water and drank a lot. It seems the kids were not properly hydrated during the day as by the time you feel thirsty it means you are already dehydrated. This issue was also experienced by others there. Our weekly rate was increased when they turned 3 when typically the rate goes down. When I asked why it was going up I was told an error was made when we started and she kept me at the rate but never told me of this error until she raised me a year later. There is not one teacher there from a year ago. A revolving door of teachers as the owner is very hard to get along with. This tells a lot about the situation there. I noticed this was becoming an issue with my kids as it was constantly changing. Then the last straw after a disturbing situation that involved my son and another classmate. On the heals of that there was a project involving cut outs of bikini models from "sports illustrated" magazine (this magazine was used per the owner) The project was called "swimsuit collage". No pictures of a family at the beach or moms and dads. Just women posing in bikinis. I asked the owner if she knew about this project and she did and saw no issue with it. This is not the message I want for my 3 year olds. There is a reason these magazines have a cover over them at the grocery stores! NOT appropriate for any school age child let alone 3 year olds! Too many red flags here and we since moved our sons. After speaking with others who have associated with this facility and its owner it has only confirmed that everything is NOT right here and this facility should be looked at closer. I am only sad I did not do something sooner.

I am extremely disappointed with my son's experience at Trinity Christian Academy. After attending…read moreboth preschool and the last two years at the school, his time there has been marred by a negative and dismissive attitude from the staff and teachers. The condescending tone and sarcastic remarks have taken a toll on his self-esteem and overall happiness. These past two years have been particularly damaging to his emotional well-being. The constant judgment and lack of empathy from staff have chipped away at his confidence and stifled his natural joy for learning. It's heartbreaking to witness the adverse effects on a child who is naturally joyful, full of humor, and eager to see the good in every situation. Unfortunately, in a school environment where teachers and staff often appear unsmiling and are quick to label behavior as disrespectful or disruptive, it becomes nearly impossible for a child to hold on to their sense of humor and positivity. While my son is not perfect--no child is--he is full of life, curiosity, and a genuine love for learning. However, his experience at this school has left him anxious and unsure of himself, constantly second-guessing every word and action, as if walking on eggshells. No 10-year-old should feel this way during such crucial formative years. Children deserve to feel safe, to ask questions, to explore, and to make mistakes as part of the learning process. I deeply regret enrolling my son in a school led by unqualified directors and teachers who seem ill-equipped to manage their responsibilities. Their approach, rooted in harshness and excessive control, is not only ineffective but also harmful to a child's education and emotional development. Children thrive in environments that nurture their curiosity, encourage their voices, and support their individuality--not in places that suppress them. Additionally, the leadership exhibits clear favoritism, often granting leniency to children of friends and pastors, despite behaviors that are far more disruptive than my son's. This inequity creates an unfair and toxic environment, undermining the values of fairness and respect that should guide any educational institution. Led by favoritism for children and family of friends. There are plenty of Pastors children who behaviors are worst than my son, yet they get a pass each and every time.

They were also understanding that it was an age thing. He got over it and does love his days there thanks to the facility and staff.
