I also heard from multiple co-workers that since they did not qualify for the pre-k program at Killeen isd, they decided to place their little one in Memorial Christian Academies accredited pre-k class and seen instant learning as a result. Some of my co-workers decided to keep their children at Memorial all the way through high school, while others stated they enrolled their child in KISD for whatever reason. On both cases every single child was advanced by multiple years. With smaller class room and a curriculum like A Beka your child will be so far ahead of the curve. I am so blessed and honored to have my daughter attend Memorial and and truly thankful for the faculty and staff that help shape and mold my daughter each and everyday!

My children have attended Memorial Christian Academy for the last 3 years. I was super excited to…read morefinally have found a school where my children were able to come in a safe and academic forum. The administration changed about 2 years ago and it is sad how the school has declined in it's Christian value base. Teachers are selected off of craigs list to fill a position rather than selecting good quality staff to teach our children. The administration is more of a dictatorship than a collaborative teaching environment. When administration gets questioned the children become the victims. It is heartbreaking to watch. The staff is intimidated to the point where they don't speak up and the frustrations become evident in the classrooms. Political agendas, immigration viewpoints and even biblical challenges have found their way into the curriculum. I have talked to some of the other parents and they feel the same. Unfortunately most will not speak up publicly but it I think it is my duty as a parent and Christian to ensure that the truth is brought to light and the children left there are defended. Please do not bring your child here... it's not about the money, it is about the moral compass of the integrity of the school. If you are a current parent, please speak up... the children are counting on you. If you are looking to enroll... look deep, you will find this is not the place to keep your most precious possession safe. God Bless.

Education was good as well. She learned a lot in terms of colors, alphabet, numbers, and god. The only drawback to attending school here is that it serves only as a Mother's Day out program for kids that age. It's only 8:30-11:30 which may be a bit of a downer depending on your situation. Not to sure how the rest of the program is either as I heard some negative rumblings about some of the other teachers but I never saw. I'd investigate it though.

So to anyone reading these bad reviews and changing your mind trust me when I say it is one of those situations where people don't normally leave reviews UNTIL something goes wrong and they act out of anger, but when it is going well that same person doesn't leave a review at all.

Ideally, preschool enrollment should help children prepare for kindergarten, or so I thought…read more Unfortunately, my experience with this school was a nightmare. It felt as though I had given birth to a little monster. Every day, the teacher complained about my son's behavior, saying he was running around, not sharing, jumping, and more. One day, we were asked to pick him up early, which was extremely stressful. We later met with his teacher and the principal to discuss a plan of action. Right away, I sensed an unsettling vibe from the kindergarten teacher. She claimed she was trying her best to help our son adjust, but stated that other kids also needed her attention. She also suggested we seek help from our physician regarding his behavior. Keep in mind that my son had attended daycare without any behavioral issues. My husband made an appointment with the doctor, who assured him that our son was perfectly fine and simply acting his age. While I was searching for a new school, we found one that reassured us about their staff's expertise. They informed us that their teachers had over 18 years of experience and that we wouldn't encounter the same problems we faced before. I am pleased to say they did not disappoint. My son enjoys going to school; we no longer have to bribe him. He has received a star every day for exhibiting great behavior without needing any redirection. One day, the school even allowed parents to come in and observe for a moment, and my son sat quietly like a pro. I truly believe the previous teacher was not equipped to handle kindergarten. The way she spoke about my child in front of me revealed a palpable dislike. Consequently, I removed my son from that toxic environment. Now, he is thriving in his new school, and his new teacher is wonderful!

She asks to help me around the house (cooking, making her own lunch, sweeping, mopping, cleaning mirrors, watering plants, taking care of her dog and fish) At Salado Montessori, they learn through physically getting involved in the activity at hand,(everyday fundamentals like washing hands, getting dressed (my daughter learned to tie her shoes in a day), motor skills like opening and closing boxes and organizing blocks based on size, music (beat, tone, instruments), sounding out words, addition and subtraction, days of the week). She wakes up and gets dressed on her own, brushes her own teeth and takes pride in it all because it gives her a sense of accomplishment. This school is teaching her how to learn, not what to learn. Salado Montessori has created an amazing community, parents willingly volunteer their time. They periodically have volutuneer days, where the parents and children can be a part of bettering the school together (i.e.planting gardens, reorganizing the classroom). The teacher, Ms. Webb for lack of a better word, is AMAZING! She is patient, observes well and interacts without hindering the learning process. She is organized, happy and cares deeply for each individual child. She allows parents to observe the learning process throughout the school year and meets with us one on one to discuss the growth of our child. She gives ideas to me about how I can continue to foster growth throughout the home and how to speak to my daughter to further her own excitement about learning. I truly believe Ms. Webb helps my individual child grow in every aspect of her life, and is not just a teacher filling a time slot during the school day. Also, this school was one of the only schools around that allowed for a half day, full day, and before and after child care programs. I can not say enough good things about this school.

I reached out to the owners as a concerned parent but have been completely ignored along with other parents voicing the same concerns.

What appeared to be a very clean and put together school turned out to be the complete opposite. We…read morehave only been in TX for a short period of time and found LLLA. We thought it would be a good fit for her son because his previous daycare had somewhat of the same structure. However as time went on we quickly realized how different this daycare was. Because of Covid we were not able to go in the school for drop off or pick up (which takes an extreme amount of time). So because of this, we were not able to officially meet his teacher. We didn't meet until we requested it as we were concerned about if he was learning anything. About a month ago his teacher resigned and he now has a new teacher. We were not notified at all about him having a new teacher. We got this information from our child who barely knew her name!! I brought up that issue a couple times and I was dismissed consistently. There was a lot of disrespect and nonchalant attitude shown when I recently questioned a behavioral issue they said they were having with my child. They would not allow me to view the cameras and said that they were very busy and it would take hours to run that information back. There was no resolution provided. No one said I could come back later to view the camera. The answer was just no. Which made me feel they were hiding something. Also I had a lack of understanding about what was going on in the classroom. Now I understand that because of Covid it's very hard to continue to effectively teach and connect with the parents, but no one ever said anything about how he was doing in class and how he was doing academically and where they were in the curriculum. All I knew was what he brought home from school which were just worksheets they completed in class which Only appeared to be tracing letters. They would assign homework and we would complete it and put it back in the folder and it would still be there for WEEKS at a time without anyone checking it. This may be a good daycare for some but not for my son. I am used to a more organized structure and a better connection with teachers and administration. Each day at my sons old daycare, I would ask him what he learned in school and he would be able to tell me everything they talked about that day. Here at this daycare, he was not able to tell me anything they learned other than going outside and watching movies (because they have a movie theater). And lastly as I walked in today to hand this school my sons withdrawal letter, parent mentioned teacher appreciation week and she did not know who her child's teacher was. Her child was in the same classroom as mine. So that should tell you something.
