I was a sponsor for someone in the rcia confirmation program…read more The staff member who runs the program, Eby Kurian, told the class that he knew when you opened his emails and how many times you opened them. I thought that was an odd thing for someone to say. I was not there for all the classes but when I was there, the lessons were videos. I was told that most the classes were videos and that classes normally ran for three hours. This was very different from my experience in adult RCIA. Tracking your emails is old marketing tech. I think it is unusual that an individual running a church program to be using it and also chastising students about how he knows that you saw the email he sent you last night because he can tell if you opened it. Just wow. That was what made it even more odd. Maybe it was just me.

Lack of professionalism, academics are not to the standard of where they should be. Unorganized staff, curriculum, and they have competitive pricing to others in the area (but do not deliver).

I debated on writing a review because Ms. Sara and Mickey are great people, but I feel the need to…read moremake other parents aware of the effects this place had on my child. I will start out by saying that having Mrs. Kahn as my daughters teacher was the biggest mistake I ever made as a parent. There would be times Mrs. Kahn would say," Oh your child wouldn't sit down in circle time and would go play with the toys instead, or I know her shirt has milk and paint all over it but she got upset when I tried to change her so I left it on." The first thought that came to my mind was," Aren't you the teacher?" My child wasn't bad at all, she was just excited to be in an environment with so many stimulating things in it, and as a teacher you would think her 15+ years of experience would've taught her how to handle those situations. It's as if she was so used to having perfect children and got flustered when a child didn't listen when she told them to do something the first time. And as far as my child learning anything, she didn't learn anything from her other than how to line up and go outside. The funny thing is when I would be on break from school or had her for the holidays, I would teach her the smallest things and my daughter would catch on so fast that everyone in my family could see an improvement. Why was it that she wasn't learning anything at school when she was there 5 days a week, but as soon as I taught her something on a 3 day break all of a sudden you see improvement? I'll tell you why, it's because Mrs. Kahn was NOT paying attention to my child and paid more attention to other children and was busy begging parents to give money or food to her for the parties she always threw (as if tuition wasn't enough). If she spent more time on educating the children then planning parties, maybe the children could actually learn something. My husband also would drop our daughter off and say to me ," Does she not like our daughter? She always gives us a look like she doesn't want her there, but when other children come in, she gets excited and gives them hugs." Also you know something is wrong with a teacher when the director pulls her own grandchild out of their class, and transfers them into another teachers class. In all since leaving within 3 months my child can count to 100 and can read at 3 years old, and it's all because I taught her and took her out of that school. My advice is to anybody looking at this school, DO NOT enroll your child in her class. She's obviously more focused on throwing parties and doesn't know a thing about teaching in a structured environment.

They sent home packets of work for "homework" often that would take hours and have my son in tears from boredom. (Because it was the same non sense they had him doing all day while there). His work was perfect, the teachers raved about how tidy his handwriting was and how well he sat and did his work, "especially for a boy". Yet, when he had to use the bathroom one of the teachers acted like he was trying to get away with something and often would not let him go. At the end of the year I picked him up one day to find his shorts were wet and cold. They wouldn't allow him to use the bathroom and he wet himself. He must have sat in it for an hour or more without them noticing.

We were relocating here from Louisiana, Hurricane Rita. The first two years Mrs. Duvall was my oldest two kids (boy & girl) teacher. She was the greatest teacher they ever had. They were academic behind and hated math. Anyone that knows Mrs. Duvall knows she Loves Math, and helps Kids love Math. She has a way of running her Learning Center structured -but exciting and fun. She had a one on one relationship with each student in the school, ......and she was the High School Teacher and the Principal. The 1st year at FCA there was 155 students ! I sat on the Parent Advisory Board 3 of the 6yrs we were there. The first year I was a part of the Parent Advisory Board I learned about the foundation of the FCA Scholarship Fund. This Scholarship Fund was created by a burning passion that every family should have the opportunity to have their student take part in a quality education that teaches Strong Academics with Values and Character. The Scholarship Fund was not made up of corporate donations. Instead, Mrs. Duvall decided to create the fund from within. She took 15-20% (Dollar amount) of the tuition income and allotted that amount to be given back out in the form of scholarship money to parents. Mr. and Mrs. Duvall have a love and dedication to kids from all walks of live. Yes, your right....they have no tolerance for teachers that don't want to teacher, and just draw a check or TEACH a TEST.
