Apparently 4 board members left over the summer due to the problems there.Kids are shamed and bullying is rampant. We went to summer camp here one year a few years ago and my kids only lasted two days. But I listen to my kids and I trust them when they say there's a problem. It's possible a lot of these parents heard the reputation of the school and just think their kids are being difficult, but buyer beware for this one. The other families are great. The parents are generally in it for the right reasons.

The emergent curriculum is a relief is a sea of preschools where kids are forced to do worksheets, this is truly a play-based preschool. The kids spend TONS of time outside, rain or shine, and the playground is magnificent. There is a strong focus on the children learning independence, which I really appreciate. Teachers empower children to resolve issues and challenges themselves, which has given my children great skills that make them ready for Kindergarten socially. They have a lot of agency, which grows their confidence and is a good outlet for the "I do it myselfs". Plus, there is a focus on healthy living, as the Schoolhouse only serves fresh fruits and vegetables for snack! Being snack-helper is one of my kids' favorite activities. This school is a great fit for any family that wants their kids to be kids, experience true play-based learning, and spend lots of time in nature.

New owners are very much involved in the day to day activities and take the efforts to include the honest feedbacks provided to them. They go above and beyond to ensure kids safety and parents peace of mind. We wouldn't be able to do our day jobs if we were not certain about how our kids are being taken care here. We truly recommend this location.

We love KRK and how well they care for and love our boys! We've been with them since May 2018 when…read moreour first son was only 10 weeks old. KRK is like family. They have the perfect balance of learning and playing. They're passionate about the kids and what they do. They take the time to know each kid individually and tailor their approach to best suit the kid's needs. They promptly address any questions. Not to mention, they are doing their best during Covid to keep everyone safe and healthy. We would 10/10 recommend.

We live about 35 minutes away and are happy with our church, which is closer to home. We knew the church was nice and really enjoyed the services, but we were still very impressed when we came back to tour the GCA side of the church campus. The facilities are new, well maintained, and very clean. The entire staff, from the teachers to the front office, were friendly, kind, and even caring. They definitely helped set a solid foundation for her. I cannot say enough about the job that both teachers did to help with the development of her social skills and character. We would have kept her there for elementary, but the hours and commute were not conducive to my work schedule. I would highly recommend looking into GCA if you are considering preschool or private school in the Lake Norman area.

What a fabulous experience for Alex. The staff is great, the facility is immaculate, and it is not uncommon to find Miss Christina working at he desk while holding and soothing an upset little child sitting on her lap. This review is my personal thank you to both ladies, the TLE staff, and the TLE organization. Kirk Davis

We have been a part of the TLE family for the last 5.5 years. The quality of education in both academics and emotional intelligence taught at TLE Huntersville is second to none. I dropped him off today with so much confidence because I knew he was beyond ready for this next big step and I attribute that readiness nearly entirely to the staff and faculty of TLE Huntersville. I will continue to recommend them again and again.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the directors and staff! I wish we had started her prior to her being 1. We had a horrible experience before and I was so nervous at first. But the teachers and directors were very responsive. After my daughter was there, we had a second one and due to covid I was able to juggle him and work. He started there at the age of one as well and has learned and grown so much! He is now 3 and my daughter 6, will be there this summer. We absolutely love this daycare!!!! Thank you teachers and directors for doing an absolutely hands down amazing job! Side note: even with the teacher change overs they have been very commutative and understanding my needs and concerns. Changes were made! They listen to you and work with the needs of your child!!!!

The team there is fantastic - friendly and genuinely kind people who care about the kids in their school. Food is included, but it's "kid food" - lots of chicken nuggets and fish sticks - so if you're looking for something organic or fancy you might want to provide your own food instead. That said, they were very accommodating of my kids' dietary restrictions and never made us worry that our kids would be fed something they couldn't eat (something I can't say for every child care facility we've encountered in LKN). The playgrounds are a little old - mulch-filled and older style equipment, chain link fences, etc. Compared to some newer facilities, the playgrounds could use some love, but my kids were happy so I didn't mind. Water play day on Wednesdays in the summer! Ice cream truck visits every other Tuesday in the summer! Older kids might even go for a walking field trip to Bruster's - the highlight of their week. Communication with the front office and with your kid's teacher is more challenging now because of COVID. I found I was still able to reach people if I needed to, and they answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. A weekly newsletter or email from teachers to parents might be a good idea - sometimes we felt surprised by planned events and daily/weekly themes. I love the layout of the building inside - the older kids' classroom in the middle feels very much like a Montessori environment to me. Overall would highly recommend!

This was a good school 3 years ago, but has gone down hill, quicker with every passing year. Don't make the same mistake we did and fall for the marketing and admissions hype. They sell a good story, but after you are in, the dream becomes a nightmare. We are not coming back next year and we dread having to work with the registrar and admissions to get our transcripts for our children.
