    My daughter started going here a few months ago & I can't speak highly enough about this place! A…read morenew director took over last year (Sonja) and she is remarkable!! I would recommend anyone and everyone here! & that's coming from someone who is VERY picky about who takes care of her daughter. I know there have been bad reviews in the past but there was a giant overhaul since then and it truly is a wonderful place! They keep me in the loop on everything, which I really appreciate & my daughter, who can be super serious and very choosy about who she likes, LOVES her teachers and asks for them daily! Rachael & Taylor are wonderful as well as Emma & Nika! As I'm sure are the rest of them.. I just haven't come into too much contact with everyone else just yet. Bonuses: They have large storm shelters, they accommodate her milk allergy wonderfully, the place is SUPER clean and I love the check in & out system. It's very efficient, safe and quick. Also, the payment system is VERY simple, especially compared to where we used to go! I LOVE it!

    I would give LifeSpring negative Stars if that was an option. Not only as an employer but also as a…read moretrusted center. I worked at Lifespring for less than a month and had bad experience after bad experience. On my first day I witnessed a teacher swing a two-year-old up by one arm in a forceful way to change a diaper. That same teacher later threw a ball and hit my child in the face with it. She didn't check on my child and it left a red mark on her face. When I confronted her she told me that I was being ridiculous. I told management immediately and nothing was done. I was told that she was just having a bad day and that the cameras couldn't catch it because of the angle. On 9-10-18 the floater teacher for the infant room, which I worked in, was making footprint art with a child using brown paint. The teacher said, " at least the brown paint doesn't stain like the black, you go home looking half n*****." I immediately told management again and again nothing was done. The other teacher in the infant room is a black woman, she was forced to continue to work with someone who expressed such hate, we all were. The director compared the racial slur to someone calling someone a "fat ass." I witnessed that same teacher forcefully shove pacificers into babies mouths, jerk them around and lose her cool at least once a day. Management knew about all of this. The teacher was still allowed to keep her job!! They will guarantee you 40 hours a week but then send everyone home except the favorites. Children are moved from room to room, you never know which teacher is going to be with your child. They mix all ages together in unsafe ways. It is the most unprofessional, hate-filled center I have ever experienced. If you have your children enrolled here I strongly suggest you find another place.

    I would say avoid this place at all costs. The amount of money you pay for what you actually get is…read moreridiculous. Our girl was in Pre-School and didn't learn anything new the entire year. She stayed at the same level as she was when she entered in August. Also the fee for "books" for a pre-school age child was a joke. They act like this is a private school instead of a day care, but your child does not receive the education that one would expect from a private school. And I agree with the above comment, if you complain about anything then your child and you are labeled a trouble maker making it impossible to keep the "teachers" accountable. Don't waste your money here.

    The trouble started back in the fall when I was supposed to have a parent-teacher conference with…read moremy son's Pre-K teacher. It was cancelled, along with all of her conferences because she was sick. Totally understandable but they never rescheduled them. A week or so later, I get an email from the school administrator saying they thought my son needed to be screened for autism. Uh... all this without talking to ME first. But wait, things just got worse. In the beginning of January (2016), they sent home a survey asking parents to indicate whether their kids were returning to Trinity for the 2016/17 school year. At the bottom, they asked parents to list any suggestions or comments on the back. So, I did. I wrote that I was disappointed with the lack of communication back in the fall regarding my son and his supposed need for autism screening. I said I wished that my cancelled parent-teacher conference had been rescheduled so I could have been in the loop for this discussion. That very day, I got a note home from his teacher saying my son was being disruptive and causing problems. I also got a call from the school administrator about my son causing issues. From then on, it was notes home just about everyday. The worst part is that my son began to HATE going to school. Up until then, I had no problem taking him there in the morning. He never cried or put up a fuss. But from the day I wrote that note, he never wanted to go to school again. He would scream and beg me not to take him. And in the afternoon, a note home about his behavior. So he would then get a punishment and a lecture from me. Something was WRONG with this whole situation - and it wasn't my kid. It became so stressful I decided to withdraw him. So, I sent an email to the administrator (because I wanted it in writing). Still have NEVER heard from her regarding my son's withdrawal. Not even to acknowledge she received my email. Unless you're willing to never complain or offer criticism about your child's education and also have a perfectly behaved child, I would avoid this school. They enroll too many children in the classes and then if a child gets overstimulated or seeks attention (as I suspect was the case with my kiddo) they try to label him/her a problem or special needs child. I don't know what they were doing to make my son hate going there so much so suddenly, but I'm glad he's out now.
