Our experience with this school has been deeply concerning from a safety and management…read moreperspective. The school consistently appears to be understaffed, and families frequently receive messages asking parents to keep their children home due to staffing shortages. In addition, there have been multiple state violations, poor communication, and several incidents that we feel were either undocumented or not appropriately addressed. As parents, the safety and well-being of our children are our highest priorities, and unfortunately, we no longer feel confident that this school can provide a safe and reliable environment. Due to these ongoing concerns, we are actively seeking a different school for our children. Based on our personal experience, I would not recommend this school to other families.

Our family has sent 3 kids to this school over the last 5 years. My favorite part about this school…read moreis the community of friends, parents, and kids it's created for our family. Currently we have an infant with Ms Tresa and Ms Brittany and a Pre-K'er with Ms. Sarah. Ms Tresa and Ms Brittany are so warm and make it 10000x times easier to drop her off each morning... they also do a great job keeping to the schedule I've requested for our baby. Our Pre-K'er blows me away with how much he's learned in Ms. Sarah's class. The way she integrates academics, emotional intelligence, and social and community responsibility has done so much to shape my kiddo. Highly recommend considering this school for anyone in the market!

The first few years of a child's life are such important learning years. When we moved to the area,…read moreit was imperative to us that we find a preschool with warm, caring adults in a christian community that support development and an educational curriculum, while allowing children to have fun and explore with curiosity. We found all of that (and more!) at Smyrna Christian School. SCS has helped our child learn how to play, work together, and establish great friendships. They have continuously provided materials/activities that interest our child (and challenge her!) They have encouraged our child's efforts (which has truly aided in adding to her confidence.) They set clear limits for behavior (which is appreciated!) I love always receiving our child's drawings, writings, and crafts at the end of every week. They encourage parental involvement (which goes back to the whole "community feel") and welcome parental participation with class parties. How beautiful is that?! I truly cannot say enough GOOD about this establishment. Before we found SCS, our only-child went to a "glorified daycare" preschool and for so long, we didn't know how much it was hindering our child. It wasn't until we moved and enrolled at SCS that we saw our child turn a complete 180 in every aspect of her life that we realized what EXCELLING truly meant. I am forever grateful for SCS (and my only complaint would be that I can't keep our child here for kindergarten, too!)

Every morning we are greeted with a smile and a "Good Morning" from Miss Jodi in the office, and all along the hallways my kiddo happily says hello to all the teachers. They're all very friendly and engage your child in conversation which makes them feel seen and heard, and important. She just loves talking with them on the way to her classroom. Her teacher is Miss Vickie, and she just adores her. She is kind and attentive, and a wonderful human being. My daughter has learned SO much this year, and she loves doing it! They learn Spanish, colors, numbers, writing, and she even comes home telling me about the fun centers they have in class, and how silly George Washington's wig is! I love how happy she is there, and how much she's grown in her independence and knowledge. I'm convinced that a better school does not exist. Truly, it has been the biggest blessing for our child. I wish they taught kindergarten so we could stay!!

The teachers, especially Miss Joelle and Miss Paula, have been fundamental in my child's growth.

I am very disappointed with my experience at Primrose. I started sending my little one there half…read moreday, and already at the third day I realized something was off. I sent her 4 days half day the first week, and 3 days half day the second week. That's when I decided to give withdrawal notice and quit without hesitation. I'm relieved she is not there anymore, and we started in a new daycare FULL-DAY and she is already doing better, and I take her home being her normal self. We started there because the facility was supposed to be top notch. That's not the case at all. I'm relieved that my child is no longer there. The lack of care and attention is remarkable. And my kid as well other kids needs were not prioritized. It started becoming a priority only when I gave notice that my kid wasn't going back. That's when they started calling and saying "we will be more considerate of your kid crying and feelings, and we will try not to let her cray all day". And I know kids need time to adapt, but no one really genuinely helped her or took time to care. She was left to cry while laying there who knows for how long. And the app that they use to update parents and provide pictures? Forget about it. No feedback was ever provided on how her day went. Her updates were not updated, and when they were it was because I would call and ask. And even then, there were inconsistencies. For example, changes of diaper while napping, or updates about her drinking her bottle but I would go and pick her up and her bottle was still there, or that she woke up from her nap while I was literally entering the classroom and she was sleeping AGAIN. Pictures were sent only the first day, and that was it. Bottom line, they would leave her to cry and cry herself to sleep constantly. Not to talk about lies. They would constantly say she didn't cry she had a beautiful day, while the little one was still sobbing. Or the day I went to pick up her stuff, on of the directors at the entrance told me "your little one is cuddling in the classroom". My kid never went to day care that day, she was already out of there. Those are just examples, but I could go on and on. And she was there just for a very short period of time. And I already feel awful I sent her to such a horrible place. This place is not a daycare, is a money making facility. PLEASE, DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE. LOOK ELSEWHERE. THEY ONLY CARE ANOUT MONEY AND NOT THE CHILDREN.

Ms. Barbara, the Infant 1 teacher, is truly amazing - both the babies and the parents absolutely adore her. Being able to check in through the cameras and watch our child play and interact was also a huge bonus and gave us so much peace of mind. Additionally, Ms. Barbara's photo and video updates always make my day! Ms. Barbara genuinely cares about every baby in her classroom and puts so much effort into helping them reach important milestones. Even though we haven't had too many unique needs, she always encourages us to speak up about any changes or concerns, which makes us feel incredibly supported. Our child loves being in her class and lights up every time she hears Ms. Barbara's voice. As a parent, that kind of reassurance means everything - you really can't ask for more.
