I attended this preschool as a child, learning all the basics in manners, hygiene, social skills, education in reading and writing.

The director is wonderful and caring and hires teachers with similar attitudes. My only negative is that sometimes the teachers are passive aggressive with the parents when it comes to communicating how the kids were for the day or any needs they may have. This may be from being burned out or perhaps personal things interfering. Who knows as it isn't a constant by any means, but is the only reason I do not give 5 stars. That being said, I would recommend all of my friends to send their children here if they are looking for a caring, affordable, joyful place for daycare. I do wish they offered part-time options also. As far as previous reviews of abuse, I have never witnessed any behavior like that at all and we have been with them since 2014. We never heard of any investigations, have spoken with several teachers there (past and present) and the kids have all been regulars that I have seen for the past three years. The place is clean and well-maintained. Some of the play equipment could use updating but I have not witnessed any hazards that warrant this place unsafe. I have asked my children about teachers and the director (if they yell or hit kids) and was told no by both. They LOVE the director and their teachers so much. I'm baffled by the previous review.

My son truly enjoyed his time at Covenant Schools.

I loved watching his testament, knowledge and love for Christ grow through their curriculum. There was an incident that occurred involving another child (I won't go into details), but I do feel the staff handled everything very appropriately and professionally, keeping us involved and in the loop the entire time. We will miss Covenant and the amazing staff. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

The staff has been consistently unprofessional, and when I raised valid concerns about my child's care as well as other children's, they were dismissed as "complaining" rather than being properly investigated. Her daycare contract ended 7/31 and I wasn't notified till 8/6/2025 and was told she couldn't return unless the EECED could issue a contract by 8/8/2025 One of my biggest concerns was that my daughter was mishandled by a teacher, and despite reporting this, the staff member remained employed, and I received no meaningful follow-up. I've witnessed staff yanking children by the arms, yelling in their faces, and slamming and pushing on tables leaving children to cry for hours completely inappropriate and unacceptable behavior around young children. Additionally, there are serious hygiene concerns. They wouldn't change gloves or even wipe down the changing table during changes, My daughter would often come home with rashes, and it was clear that diaper changes were not being done regularly.I also observed a lack of proper sanitary procedures, including throwing food into the trash and then serving the plate to the child, spraying cleaning solution on the table while children are still eating which is deeply troubling. When asked if we could potty train our almost 2 year old I was advised not to by admin as they do not have proper staff and couldn't accommodate as she didn't want to have to hire additional staff. They currently have a high turnover. Staff consistently has their phones out during wake times and nap time. There is no consistent communication between parents and teachers, and safety protocols (such as moving tables while children are seated) are not followed. They don't have no structure and let the kids run wild despite saying they are teaching an age appropriate curriculum based daycare. My daughter has had to be rushed to the ER as they had her foot in a string tourniquet from her sock for hours and didn't check her foot we were told she just could put weight on her foot and was exhausted from crying. We called to check in and Admin wasn't even aware of the situation she was just crying uncontrollably and no staff checked her foot despite not being able to put weight on the foot. On Monday her eyes were swollen and red from crying for over an hour with out consoling or helping her re-regulate. I wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone

Please read. Writing this as a concerned parent. Our sons…read morewere at the learning experience for quite some time. And we initially really liked the center. Our son's first year teachers were amazing. But then thing started going down hill. It all happened starting a year ago (January 9, 2025 to be exact) our son's teacher was dealing with personal life problems so she was not able to be there for a week, and that meant other teachers were coming in the class to take over while she was gone. One in which was there most often. My son was scared to go to school because he told me how this teacher was being mean to the kids (grabbing them by the collar of there shirt aggressively and rag dolling them around) I asked him to point her out to me who she was and he did even referring to her as "mean teacher". I went to the director (Monica) and assistant director (Amber at the time) addressing my concerns. And even after talking to other parents and the main teacher in the class multiple kids were scared as well. Even after coming to them that teacher was still there! However, they told me they would move him up if this continued. His main teacher came back and nothing happened, so we didn't have to worry about it anymore. We always felt accommodated when going up to the director as she had moved us up early when we came to her with a concern. Keep in mind all she ever did was move us up. Im not sure if any of these concerns were actually even taken care of addressed to the teacher. A year passed and he was put into Preschool 1 that "mean teacher" was back and this other teacher was in the class with her (they seemed to be best friends). My son again started coming to me really sad and scared that his teachers were being mean to him again. He even showed me red finger print marks on his arm just above his elbow. He went on to tell me that teacher was grabbing them and rag dolling them again. I asked him why? And he said "because I wasn't listening". Although I do understand how hard it is to get kids under control. NO ONE NOT EVEN MYSELF will ever leave marks on MY son's arm. I asked him again to show me who it was and he pointed at the other teacher! But this time he hid behind me before even pointing at her so I knew he was scared. So not only did one of them do this prior now the other one was doing it too. We reported our incident to Monica (the director) in which was handled very unprofessional. She literally LAUGHED at our concern and told us that "that was her most structured class". Also adding that we never had the conversation to her about our concerns before (the one on January 9, 2025) We did not feel comfortable taking our kids to this school anymore. And I personally had to drop out of my college classes and quit my job so I could stay home with my sons as this no longer felt like a safe school to keep them in. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

They literally falsified information based on whatever prejudice they have against myself and father to my children. When CYFD followed up at the same home they reported - the investigator told us their report was 'frivolous and a waste of time' = UNSUBSTANTIATED. I contacted one of the teachers directly regarding their actions, and she told me the director would contact me- and she never did! I will never recommend this place to anyone. And during class time visits last year, one of the staff was being extremely rude and militant with some of my son's classmates, rather than exploring positive discipline approaches. I should have recognized that as a red flag, but had more faith in them than I really should have. These people lack integrity, are untrustworthy, and act completely fake - all smiles to your face when they obviously pass judgment behind your back. My kids are already enrolled in a new wonderful program, so we find this terrible incident to have been a blessing in disguise. Please, take your children elsewhere.

poor communication, rude staff, uncaring people. Very disorganized. Worst place I've put my son in…read more! ! I really wish that I would have chosen another preschool for my son. Uncomfortable goin in every day. My son was enrolled for maybe 3 weeks the staff was very aggressively rude when it came to communication. My son was coming home everyday talking about how the teachers are mean everyday that I walked in, and they had something every day to say to me wen I walked in...and they had something DIFFERENTto tell me. My son has been in different centers since he was a baby. Albuquerque nursery. Noah's ark. And never in my life did I feel the need to move him unless it was our location. Everyday walking in was so stressful, wondering what are they going to tell me the next time I walk in. My recommendation is choose another preschool because I know I am. When I had first gone and they scheduled me a home visit,then without any notice the day of the home visit they told me that they weren't going to make it, then they had schedules me another day and once again very rudely the other teacher told me that she was in charge and that I had no home visit the day that I had asked if they were coming. An incident happened one day with my child. And no one knew what happened, yet at the parent-teacher conference they said that everything was fine and that it wasn't my son's fault. And upon the third time it was brought up to me the lady in the office Karen said that my son just went and started being mean to everyone out of nowhere.I had already talked to the staff three times I don't understand why they kept coming up to me telling me about my child about the same incident and none of the stories matched up. I went to go ask who I talk to in the parent-teacher conference. And they just sent me away telling me to talk to the lady in the office that I have was just talking to. I got fairly upset and I really don't feel the need to feel that way , my son loves School. Stress levels were skyrocket. I really wish I had a chosen another preschool to begin with.

One of them even grabbed my son's hoodie vigorously off his head jerking it back. Then after that issue was resolved we had back to back problems with the staff not paying attention to the children while at the park. My son would come home and have bruises from kids pushing off the slide and no reports. Then my son said there was a man talking to them at the park where they go and smoking next to the kids. Once again the staff didn't even know this happened. They don't watch the kids. They take them to the park and then get on their phones until it's time to get the kids back. While in class they put movies on and continue to ignore the children. The most recent issue I had which forced me to find a new daycare for my son was this. I take my son around 10-11 on Wednesdays because I work graveyard and that's usually what time I go to sleep. His mother picks him up and he stays with her until I finish my work week. Well last Wednesday I take my son at the usual time and they are already at the park. Not a big deal. When this happens I will take him to the park and drop him off with then there after signing him in. The owner told me they were at the park next door. So I drove over there and they were no where to be found. So I called and asked what park again. Once again the owner of the facility confirmed the name of the park and said "they should be there, or they are still walking to the park. That is where they told me they are taking the kids." Turns out that they changed their minds and took them to a park two blocks away instead. I called the owner after I found his class and she said "WAIT WHAT?!?!? that is not where they told me and didn't tell me they changed parks". I told her that this is a huge concern for the safety of the children and I'm not ok with this. I then went in and discussed it with her and the manager. They were both unaware of the change before I discovered it and agreed that it was reckless of the staff. This used to be a safe place I could trust. Now it's full of staff that does NOT care about the kids in their care and it's sad. I hope she fixes the issues for the safety of the children still enrolled at their facility. I am now taking my son to Kindercare.

The thing that bothers me. They get state funding , theyre supposed to accommodate every child but used their company policy to push my son out instead of work with me to resolve his behavior, hes been doing amazing since he left but it did take time to bounce back from their lack of structure. Idk how they get state funding and can just pic and choose who they feel like dealing with. I saw other kids hitting just as much as him , during the drop off pickups , 1 time in the office i saw them talking to a child who was in trouble for hitting and they were telling him he cant come to school anymore jf he keeps it up. I thought that was a little insensitive to a 4 year old. I also called them a learing center because i disagree with their policy . If you take state money you need to accommodate every child especially since he was enrolled for a few months , maybe say no before you take the money next time. Im not trying to be rude but thats the truth, overall they werent that bad but he also was slipping behind on his asq's and goals for kinder. Duranes elementary cleaned that right up and hes back on track but even with the license , maybe its an ok day care but he was falling behind meaning their curriculum is as lacking. Overall its a mid option in my opinion, there were good aspects to it but , equal access for all and learning should be the #1 priority
