He didn't make it in the local preschool because of the cut off date for his birthday so I had to look at another place to send him. I found family of Christ preschool and thought OK I'll send him here for one year and then he'll get into the preschool at our local school next year. I have been so happy with our experience here. I've already signed him up for next year to go to family of Christ. They have the best teachers. I feel like his teacher, Miss Jennylynn, is the absolute best teacher, but everyone I talk to thinks their teacher at FOC is the best. My son absolutely loves Ms. Jennylynn and so do we. My son is thriving there and he's learning so much. The hours are flexible. I'm so happy that he didn't get into the other preschool, and that we found family in Christ.

Over the years, we've watched her grow in confidence, kindness, and curiosity, and it's clear this is thanks to the nurturing environment here.

MONEY GRAB & NOT ETHICAL!!! We toured, submitted an application + $250 fee, and was told the…read moreinterview was next. Received a call on a Friday from the admissions manager that they would be out on Monday when actually they were out for the week on a mission trip. I followed up and their backup had no clue about our family or what was going on. The vice principal told them to tell us we would hear from them shortly. Then we received a letter from the principal late on the Friday afternoon before Spring Break that after "prayer" they could not (would not/did not want to) meet our sons need. The letter was very condescending and came off as if the principal and staff where the only ones with a prayer life. When I followed up on what was the factual basis of their decision and why we were never afforded our interview. The principal was not forthcoming with details. My husband and I take the Blessing of being on this parenting journey as a way to honor Gods greatest gift (children). So, when I asked for feedback it was a sincere ask to see if we could better meet our sons needs. The principal NEVER addressed why we were not granted our interview or provided feedback. We did everything we were asked and paid the fee only to be refused a complete application/interview process. There are other schools with better ethical practices, honest, and truly representative of the Christian values that Jesus asks of us. Not their skewed and narrow minded view of Christianity!!

If you have a daughter I highly suggest not sending them to this school. I have graduated from…read moreValley Christian High School, and my experience there was horrible. Teachers/Staff care more about dress coding and sexualizing girls than they do about our education. I had multiple teachers (including men) tell me I need to cover up and "not let my brothers in christ sin." Mind you I was dressing to their dress code standard, but naturally have a bigger chest. The same shirt a girl with an A cup would not get told anything to. I could go on and on about all the stories that staff and teachers have done to me to make me feel extremely uncomfortable to the point I didn't want to go to class anymore. After experiencing this for 4 years it has brought nothing but shame and trauma that I still think about years after graduating. Not only did staff make me feel extremely uncomfortable, the male students were completely disrespectful towards women. The way they would talk about women and sexualize them with no shame was disgusting. I see myself as Conservative and not much of a feminist, but this school brought me so much hurt to the point where I don't plan on sending my future kids to a Christian school. I still identify as a Christian now, but this school turned me away from God for about a year after I graduated.

It was very well coordinated and the crowds were just right, in my opinion, enough so that the kids in three age groups could fairly hunt for eggs and play in their bouncy houses or play in their playground.

It was very relaxing and impressive that this church could offer this event to the community.

My children are not only receiving a quality education, but they are active and involved in a strong Christian environment. The school has some fantastic teachers and our administrator's first priority has been the needs of the children. Both of my children have used the onsite daycare for several years, as well as the Summer Kids camp. My boys have loved the field trips, the activities and the swimming in the summers. Gethsemane also offers extra-curricular programs such as Band, Choir, Drama and Sports. We love the variety of activities that they are able to participate in without ever having to leave campus.

We are a small East Valley…read moreChristian school with a BIG focus on academic excellence, a commitment to serve the community and a center around God. Gethsemane puts the "it takes a village to raise a child" model into practice. From early on, children and their families get to know all of the staff at the school offering a true community feeling. Small class sizes give teachers and other faculty members the opportunity to understand and meet your child's individual needs. Learning at Gethsemane doesn't just happen in the classroom or in a text book. Our teachers use outside the book activities, acts of service, exercises and technology to engage growing young minds. Throughout their educational experience at GLS those young minds and souls are nourished with the word of the Lord. Children attend Chapel weekly and all grade levels participate in Christian Studies.

My daughter (4) now loves going to school to see her friends, teachers and learning about Jesus. The spiritual murals in each of the classrooms just shows how much they care about the details. Not only do they teach a Christian worldview, they also provide many different exciting activities to allow the little ones to grow in all sorts of ways. It truly makes my day to be able to see the pics and videos of my daughter during class or playing outside. The smile on her face says it all. They not only teach them many things but also embrace their faith walk. I wish I had found this school sooner but also very blessed and thankful God led us here. We will be sad to leave when my little one goes to kindergarten but they will always have a special place in our heart. Thank you for all that you do and the love you share. It is truly inspiring and one of a kind to be a part of the Calvary Christian experience. Blessings, Anna Pickering

I am conflicted writing this because we like the staff and director at CCPD, however, several…read moreparents have raised concerns over the lack of cameras, and the owners have made it clear that they will not use cameras. We have had two scares involving our child and there was absolutely no evidence other than second and third-hand stories, what we could piece together from our child's limited vocabulary, and scratches on their skin. I've also gone in to pick up our child, to find a completely new caregiver I had never seen before taking care of the kids. In 2024 there is no reason that parents should not be able to check in on their kids virtually whenever they want to. We get a few pictures of our kid a day through the app, and we are missing thousands of little moments in their development. Enough is enough. Give parents peace of mind and the sense that we are a part of our children's day, even if we can't be there in person.
