As a first time mom and mother taking their child to school for the first time it can be insanely scary and anxiety provoking. Pride and joy came recommended by my neighbor whose kids went there until they aged out and had nothing but amazing things to say. Soon I came to find several people from my neighborhood went there. So we decided to tour it and meet the team. I felt comfortable immediately after meeting Miss Carrie and my daughters to be teacher miss Mickey. They are two of the warmest, most welcoming and loving people. The ideal people to work in this industry. My daughter was a little over one when she started in early 2023. She absolutely LOVED going to school. Would run inside and not look back at me once. What I loved most is how small the school is. All the teachers even for the other grades know all the children and they frequently help out each others classes. The class sizes are also super small which allows for a lot of direct attention which was something my high maintenance child needed. They quickly learn all the children by name and know exactly who everyone's parents are. It's a very close knit program and I loved that. I also loved that they cleaned their own facility and didn't hire outside companies so they are able to oversee that everything is held to a certain standard. This past year my daughter was only sick twice and as a 1-2 year old class I'd say that's REALLY good and I credit it to how well they upkeep their rooms. Communication with team and her teachers is very open and I am always able to get ahold of someone if I ever have a question or concern. It's tremendous to see how much my daughter learned being there. Often times she would randomly say or do something at home we had no idea she could do and we just assumed she learned at school, like the first time she pointed at a picture of an apple and said Apple. They have a great educational curriculum and they don't just sit your child in front of a TV. All in all I would absolutely recommend pride and joy. We loved everything about it there and are so sad to have to leave (we're moving out of state due to my husbands job). In fact it's one of the hardest parts about leaving because as a mom of now 2, finding a school you are whole heartedly comfortable with is a rare find. I can only hope we find somewhere even half as great as pride and joy. I will forever compare every school experience back to the expectations I learned here. Thank you Miss Mickey, Miss Edilima, the new assistants and Miss Carrie (as well as the teachers in the other classes) who have always treated my girl like your own. I truly believe she is such a happy, social, smart little girl because of your amazing team! We will miss you all!! read more

I will recommend this Christian academy to anyone. My both sons went there teachers are caring and knowledgeable. The place is clean, back yard is amazing and they make sure every day is filled with fun activities My son moved to public school after kindergarten and he was so advanced. They reached them to love reading, to praise God and respect family. They prepare them to be good citizens of the world. Some of the teachers are 10+years with the school it's great to know that same teachers here raised both of my kids. The prices are very reasonable compared to other daycares but the quality of their services is very high. read more

Amazing school - my twins have had a fantastic time and have learned so many new schools.

Terrible school, they claim to be Christians but are not nice people at all. My daughter was there for a Few weeks and hated the school. When we finally put her in regular school she was way behind on learning things she should have learned there. These people are not real christians. All they want is your money. Keep away! read more
