Prior to the 2022-2023 school year, I rated this school 5 stars, however due to poor communication…read moreand planning from the church itself, the school administrator and teaching staff left. The teachers and school staff were the entire reason this school was so successful. Communication directly from the church administration went unanswered and left so many parents scrambling to find summer camps and VPK placement for their children. Instead of communicating directly to parents, the church administration sent out a letter to the congregation putting the blame on the school staff and this communication only came out after a group of parents went to the local news station. The accreditation the school had was the result of the hard work of the school staff that is no longer there.

I don't know her name in 4 months never laid eyes on her. they wouldn't let me bring a water or anything for him. i packed a small blanket for him and after 4 months they told me I couldn't pack that for him and that it needs to be a stuffy. so the next day i bring in a stuffy and she says "is this for show and tell tomorrow" i said "no its his stuffy since you said he couldn't have a blanket " she said "well this had to stay here all week or go home" which seems ridiculous. They said "well don't have room for a blanket" like what?? it fits in his backpack. His dad dropped him off Monday morning (we are separated) and I was going to pick him up Monday afternoon to start my week and so he brought my sons blanket because that's how we trade off and they said "ok well do it just this once". Also she told me he had some "anger management problems" come to find out my 2 year old had gotten stung by a bee and they didn't even notice. I caught two of the staff members aggressively talking to and treating the kids. Also the door is basically always unlocked when I come. "Number one academic preschool in the country" yeah right
