The Pre-K assessment is overkill. They make parents wait in a small library, take your student for…read morean hour-long assessment that over the phone was described by Admissions Director Megan Jones as to see how they interact with other students. Come to find out (after several emails requesting to know more about their request for a SECOND assessment), they are very critical of your child. Preschool Director Betsey Vallery states in her email to me: "[Student] was very interested in the items in our classroom and such a sweet little boy. He did have difficulty following teacher one-step instructions and redirection. For example, when the teacher called [Student] to small group to draw, he ran around the carpet area. The teacher came alongside him and told him to please use his walking feet and modeled her walking feet. This gentle redirection is usually very successful as it's 1:1 in this assessment setting, but he continued to run." [Student] had just turned four only three days prior to the assessment. He's extremely responsive with adult direction, and I find this commentary completely inappropriate. As a former teacher myself, this is not even something that should be a concern. In addition, she states that [Student] didn't know how to write name, draw a self portrait, count to 10 or identify shapes, all of which he's been able to do for more than a year. I wasn't there in the assessment, but I do wonder about the effectiveness of the teacher to inspire participation. I felt that this was not an age-appropriate Pre-K. They want students that already know what they need to know for kindergarten so they don't have to do their jobs in teaching them.

Teachers are SO loving, kind and truly make a difference in not only the lives of the kids but also the parents and other family members.

Admin is quick to help and answer any questions or concerns. I wouldnt hesitate if you are searching for a private school home.

**Shark Stride 5K Review**…read more They have an annual 5k that they hold here at the school to help raise funds for their mission trip. It starts with a competitive run and follows with the fun run / walk. Stroller and dogs welcome. They have plenty of parking at their building and the run / walk takes place around the lake just behind it. It's a smaller sidewalk path, so you can't fit more than two people side by side, and you'll have to line up for people to pass by the other way, but it's a nice view the whole way around. It's also nice knowing that the funds from the run support the students going to a mission trip so it's a solid charity to support. It's easy online sign up and payment as well. Overall: A A good 5k event, although a small pathway, it's for a good cause!

The staff I spoke with were kind and helpful in helping me find my way around the building. My favorite thing about this building was the student/staff lounge downstairs that was part dining area / living room and part gym! In a building this small I would never expect a gym, but it had about 5-6 machines and some weights for the students and staff to exercise around their schedule. I thought it was neat and so convenient.
