It is a bible based christian school so please consider this before sending your kids to the school. If you are not a believer, consider where you're at in your religious and spiritual believes before enrolling your kids. If you do not believe the lord died on the cross for our sins then maybe this is not the school for you.

As a former student, this school is terrible. The teachers, with a handful of exceptions, is…read morehorrible, and clearly picks favorites. I have had multiple teachers literally scream insults in my face. I also have had teachers steal things from me. While i went here, there was also a really bad bullying issue in my class, and the staff did nothing about it. The lunch is practically in-edible, and I've gotten sick from it multiple times. The nurse is horrible, she constantly insulted me and other students, and would refuse to see me if she didn't feel like it. The education is okay, but for sure not the best. They are also horrible with students who have learning differences, coming from someone who has learning differences. If I could change my choice to go here, I would. Please do not make your kids go through the experience of going here.

Full disclosure: I was an employee of the Highrock Covenant Preschool, now the New Covenant…read morePreschool, for the 2010-2011 academic year as an Assistant Preschool Teacher. I have a bachelor's degree in Child Development from Tufts University, and am Preschool Lead Teacher and Infant/Toddler Teacher certified by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education & Care. That said, this preschool was, by far, the most dynamic, caring, and stimulating preschool I've ever had the privilege to work for! New Covenant is a preschool motivated by the Christian faith. Grace is said before snack, and positive Bible stories are often shared in the morning circle. The Christian faith inspires the school's dedication to thanksgiving, forgiveness, and honesty. The classrooms are well-equipped with a variety of stations and activities. They are clean, meticulously organized, and children-focused. The schedules are intentionally built to foster creativity and support learning while maintaining a four-year-old's attention span. The teachers are extremely well-qualified and deeply compassionate. There is intentional and frequent communication between teachers and parents, and teachers are seen as partners in the development of the children. Academically, the school thoroughly prepares its pupils for kindergarten and beyond. Besides the essential social skills that every kindergartener needs in order to succeed, New Covenant teaches age-appropriate mathematics and literacy, adapted to each child's individual level. Student progress is recorded and analyzed to maximize the efficiency of lesson plans. The arts are a priority, and music is often included as a tool in the lesson plans. I would highly recommend this school for parents of all faith backgrounds.

If your child is neurodivergent in any way or an, "outside the box" type kiddo, do NOT send your kids here. Admin makes promises they can't keep as far as being able to support neurodiverse children & their families. 504 plans are not followed, at all. If you are the type of parent who will just do whatever the teacher recommends without question, you might be ok. If you follow the advice of your child's specialist doctor--less punishment, more positive reinforcement--you will be scoffed. You are expected to punish, harshly, for things that happen at school due to symptoms of neurodivergence & the lack of support thereof. I wouldn't send my dog to a place like this after our experience this year with our prek3 and second grader. Extremely understaffed and under qualified staff at that. Lots of turnover.
