A Wonderful 7-Year Journey!…read more We've been part of this preschool community for the past 7 years, with all three of our children attending--and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. From the very beginning, the staff has been nurturing, patient, and truly invested in each child's growth and development. Each of our children had different personalities and learning styles, and the teachers met them where they were, helping them thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending play-based learning with just the right amount of structure to prepare them for kindergarten and beyond. The communication with families has always been clear and consistent, and the sense of community is something we'll truly miss. It's rare to find a place that feels like an extension of your family, but this preschool has been just that for us. Thank you for giving our children such a strong and joyful start to their educational journey!

St. Al's has been an absolutely amazing experience for my children and our family. We are are dual…read moreworking household and it was difficult to find a full time program that would be able to accommodate both my 4 year old and my 2 year old. My husband and I often come home from drop off or pick up and share stories of how much admiration we have for the teachers and staff at the school. They are kind, communicative, playful, accommodating, and truly care for all the students in the school. This is our second year at the school. My daughter attended last year for Pre-K and was very prepared for kindergarten. My son started in the 2s program and now in the 3s. We will continue on with pre-k and will back again when my youngest is old enough to attend. We cannot recommend this school more!

To say it takes a village is an understatement and Childtime is an essential part of our village. We do not trust anyone to keep our children, the fact that I can drop off my son and feel comfortable and confident that he will be treated and loved the way he is at home is amazing!

She communicates well and helps parents feel at ease. Though my older kids only go for school days out and summer camp, they LOVE coming back to Childtime. It's a bit of a commute for us, but its worth it for my kids to feel loved and happy. Shout out to Ms. Janet, who has been there longer than we have. She is so kind, generous, and always gives us a nice anecdote about their day. Any concerns are handled quickly and I love that I don't have to pack them lunches! Thank you, Childtime, for being there for my family for almost 10 years! You are a part of my village and I couldn't do it without you!

Since enrolling a year ago, our son's Intellect has grown tremendously, the environment helps to balance and support his energetic nature and curiosity for learning. The teachers are calm, tenured and caring.

We are deeply appreciative of the JBS' community!

I love how there is an emphasis on the LORD and I love that they have chapel every week. They have the opportunity to go to church activities and my teens get to be involved in sharing the Gospel with the community and being involved in Youth Group. The Fine Arts program is growing which gives the children more of an outlet to find their talents. The administration truly wants what has best for the students. We have moved many times over the years and this is our fifth Christian school and mine/and my children's favorite one.

If you need a setting with actually low ratios, focus on skills deficits, and therapeutic supports,…read morethis is NOT it. Most of their problems are rooted in administration, which tries to teach students at the same time and expend minimal effort. Basic best practices were refused i.e. Assignment Books and parents were treated with hostility when requesting basic 504 / IEP supports such as Signing Assignment Books. There was next to no cooperation when attempting to coordinate with external support / medical services. They had minimal Google Classrooms proficiency so my child lost significant, uncompensated instruction time. Staff could not be reached much of the time. I could continue, but this is a pretty clear image of the school: a special education school without any special education.

This is a private, Christian Pre-K-10 school located in Howard County, and run by the Seventh Day…read moreAdventist Church. Class sizes are small, usually around 18 children per teacher plus a classroom assistant. Before and after-school care is available for a very modest charge, and allows parents to drop children off as early as 6am and pick them up again as late as 6pm. My daughter has attended since Pre-K, and all of her teachers have been wonderful and caring. Tuition is incredibly reasonable for the calibur of education provided, and there is a limited amount of financial aid available. There is no reason for us to consider the much more expensive private schools in the area when Atholton Adventist Academy is so great.
