Ms. Maureen was my son's teacher when he was in the three year old class. She made the class fun and rewarding. It made me wish that we had sent our daughter ( his older sister) there for the three year old program instead of just the four year old program. Our children both had Ms. Julie for the four-year old class and they LOVED her. She had a way of tapping into their artistic side and letting them explore their imaginations through play and art. They also had a religious education and a physical fitness program that was included with tuition. Both of my children are now in elementary school and are exceeding our expectations with their academic abilities. I have to credit Stepping Stones for laying the foundation for their success. It is what Kindergarten used to be. Getting children ready for school while teaching them how to get along.

This Pre-K was a fully functioning school and had enourmous heart and character. Their play based approach was exactly what we were looking for. Our son loved his time at UCUMC, and even though he is in first grade now, he would tell you he would go back to UCUMC in a heartbeat. UCUMC is a hidden gem, and we wouldn't have picked anywhere else for our son to have gone.

All three of our kids attend BCCA, and we couldn't be happier. Our oldest started in kindergarten…read moreand is now in fifth grade. Our youngest just entered kindergarten after two wonderful years in the preschool program. The curriculum is more advanced than our experience at CMS, and our kids are encouraged to challenge themselves while being fully supported. They actually enjoy going to school, which says a lot. When our son needed help with reading, he received in-school and after-school tutoring at no cost. Teachers are communicative, with weekly check-ins and extra updates. Every teacher we've had has gone above and beyond. The admin team is engaged and present at drop off and pick up daily. BCCA goes beyond academics with events that build confidence, character, and community. We're so grateful to be part of this diverse, supportive school. Highly recommend.

Warning for Parents Considering WGCS As a parent, I feel compelled to share my experience with WGCS…read morein the hope that it helps others make an informed decision. From my perspective, the leadership at the school, particularly the owner, Kyle Boyd, demonstrated a style that felt rigid and, at times, difficult to work with. I felt that communication lacked transparency, and it seemed to me that decisions were often made without considering the well-being of the students and their families. My child entered WGCS as a mild-mannered, enthusiastic student. However, during our time there, I noticed significant changes in his demeanor that concerned me. I also had questions about the academic curriculum. Despite the school's claims of offering an advanced curriculum, in my opinion, it did not meet South Carolina's academic standards. I observed that extra credit was frequently used to raise students' grades, which left me concerned about the consistency and rigor of grading practices. Also, I felt as if communications between teachers and parents were lacking or non-existent; especially in Math. Athletics were another point of concern. While the school promotes its commitment to offering several athletic programs, in my experience, there was no on-site gymnasium, and the off-site facility used did not feel particularly safe or appropriate for school sports (and it is across town). Additionally, I found the handling of my son's attempt to play public school sports troubling. I felt that WGCS staff misrepresented facts in a way that ultimately harmed his opportunity. Thank GOD for AAU sports, which more than prepared him to play next year. What the devil meant for evil, GOD turned it around for his good! Spiritually and culturally, I had hoped for a community that uplifted and embraced Christian values such as honesty, fairness, and love. Unfortunately, I did not feel that those values were consistently demonstrated here. As a parent of a minority child, I also observed what I perceived as a lack of inclusion, particularly in how students were recognized during school awards. In our time at the school, I did not see any minority student receive certain awards that are meant to reflect strong Christian character. It's very difficult for me to write this, and I waited until the end of the school year to do so because I did not want my son to face any retaliation. Due to our negative experience, I cannot recommend WGCS until serious meaningful changes are made.
