There are so few alternative educational options in Bentonville. There are plenty of private…read moreschools, but very few that are not parochial. More importantly, very few who are as tolerant, inclusive, and focused on raising children to honor peace and civility and to appreciate the natural world around them. Montessori is not daycare. It is not even your traditional school. Children at Walnut Farm are empowered to do things for themselves, and to study that which interests them most. In addition to several well appointed Montessori classrooms they also have a few unique features such as an outdoor classroom where children are learning life skills including gardening and caring for animals. The school also has a natural playground with features literally carved from the forested hillside. I see my little boy growing into a confident, warm, caring, and intelligent young man at Walnut Farm. He loves to read and do math. He is fascinated by and in love with every kind of animal. He loves his teachers and his classmates. When kids reach school age, we rely on the school to mold them into the people we want them to be. Schools have the kids from 8 to 3 most days, leaving just 4 or 5 hours with their parents. If they are going to play that big a role in the development of my child... then I feel strongly about choosing a school that not only does a good job educating my child, but also teaches him to grow up tolerant of the many differences in people around the world. They take children from toddlers through around the equivalent of 6th grade.

By all means, putting a deposit down should not mean that…read moreyour child is guaranteed attendance at any day care...unless you are lead to believe so by their staff. I put a deposit down nearly a year ago following voluntary assurance from the team that it would be no problem to get our child in before my wife was planning to go back to work. Following this, we never once received any follow up, any indication of a broad timeframe of when our child could start, or even an idea of where our child is on the waiting. We've had much better luck at many of the other local daycares.

We are SO happy here!…read more Both of my boys attend here, one in the infant/toddler program and one in the Pre-K. We have been so thrilled with the quality of care our boys receive. They love being dropped off and I love that I get updates all day on their routines and learning via the ap. The transparency is wonderful for peace of mind. My children are learning so much and thriving. They are loved on and cared for and happy! I would (and do) recommend this school to anyone looking. I also love that with my older sons food allergies they are so aware (everyone from kitchen to directors to floating help) that I never have to worry - they treat him as if he is their own and make all accommodations. Being away from them is hard enough so knowing that they are safe, healthy, happy and enjoying their day is so wonderful!

The first time through we got to grade level, but the real secret is moving your child a year above grade level which we did on a second go-around. In hindsight, we might have done both math and reading, because our kiddo is a natural mathematician and the extra push from Sylvan will help in the long run.

We love having the best of both the school and homeschool worlds through the university model. We have more time as a family with our kids at home with us and with each other. But they also get to experience the perks of a school community. My kids love being involved in activities such as musical theater, band, archery, science fair, and National Honor Society. My favorite aspect of Providence Academy is the Christian worldview my children have gained through the classical education. God's Word is central to everything they learn in all subjects. Our dedicated teachers work hard to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and diligence in our kids. We're so grateful for the opportunity to partner with Providence in our children's education!

WARNING! THIS REVIEW CONTAINS A PHILOSOPHY…read more A review of any college is perhaps more a ridiculous proposition than reviewing other things because, in addition to the usual vagaries of opinion, a college of any size will not be experienced by two people in remotely the same way. Are you a student (whether traditional or not; whether serious or not -- I'll not say, whether intelligent or not), an office worker, administrator, instructor, or someone attached to the college in some cooperative capacity, or a combination of any of these? NWACC is large enough to encompass a plethora of experiences. So, a review that begins, "My algebra teacher was a bore," wouldn't begin to characterize the potential of any community college. As for me (who functions as an employee, one that has worked at other community colleges and universities), I enjoy the campus, which is nicer than many other campi (noun, Latin plural). That is important; I like clean lines. The library, which is always the clincher, will more than adequately support most any academic endeavor, for both student and professional, with friendly assistance. As for the education, accessibility is stressed, I have clearly seen, which is good news for many. And, out of the classroom, college culture is promoted in a variety of ways, for those who require that. What else can be said? Yeah, that one guy cut me off in the parking lot. Rotten teen drivers! And, they don't offer the Vietnamese courses I would like to take ... maybe even throw in a field trip to Saigon. Oh, well. Still, I'm a fan.
