Our son's teacher, Mrs. Amy, is fantastic!! Not only does she have a heart of gold but she has given our son a solid foundation of social skills, reading, math and science for Kindergarten. Thank you FPK! We'll see you next year with child #2! ;-)

From day one, the staff felt like extended family. They treated our children with genuine care, respect, and love, creating a nurturing environment where our kids thrived. Brenda and Eric, the owners, have always gone above and beyond to accommodate our family's needs. They were approachable, kind, and genuinely invested in each child's development. They've also built a strong community through thoughtful events like Dogs for Dads on Father's Day, Mother's Day celebrations, fun date nights, trunk-or-treat and graduations. Academically and socially, our children left Goddard more than ready for kindergarten and well ahead of their peers. The foundation they received there has had a lasting impact on their confidence and love of learning. We will always be grateful for the safe, enriching, and loving environment Goddard provided for our children. It truly became a second home, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

Hats off to Mr. Eric, Ms. Brenda, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Laurel. They do a fantastic job in maintaining a secure facility, strong communication, fun learning, and a great attitude.

There is an impressive amount of transparency with the indoor/outdoor cameras, published curriculum, event calendar, and food/sleep logs. I have "reminded" my teachers of special requests when consistency wanes with time, but I always get an immediate and courteous response. Communication is consistent and prompt from administration, as well.

Throughout the year, they have several weekend events that include art and crafts, science experiments and projects and open houses that include visits from book characters, bounce houses, snacks and play activities. They are very organized and dedicated to the learning curriculum, and we are always amazed at the new words, concepts and activities that our children have learned. The live video access that KA offers is a huge plus for us as well!

On my toddler's first day, I received many picture and message updates which definitely helped me relieve my anxiety. She was very happy and talkative after the first day and was already repeating her teacher's name! It's been about a month now and she LOVES talking about her day and she is already learning so much and so quickly.

My child loves to go to school and is always looking forward to be there and be with her teachers and her little friends. I like the way the school has an app that you can follow your childs progress throughout the day, and they send out alerts about everything that is going on with your child. Very accommodating for Pre-K as they assist your child in e-learning, a feat which is already hard on school age kids. Lunch is served every day and it's always something different every day. They also accommodate kids with special diets or food allergies. Again, I highly recommend Childtime for your Pre-K and daycare needs.

New Covenant Christian School is a wonderful place for students to grow both academically and…read morespiritually. My children experienced challenging curriculum, as well as a nurturing school environment. They use a classical approach to learning which has helped my children not only gain an understanding of the content taught, but to also have confidence and a conviction to share their faith and articulate their thoughts with peers and adults. There is a strong focus on student safety, and the school has recently upgraded its security system. The teachers are very knowledgeable in their subject matter and take time to build in special events to support the students' understanding of content and aid them in cultivating a love of learning. As a parent who has worked in the educational field for over twenty years, I would encourage you to consider visiting their campus and seeing how they are different from other schools in the area. If you are looking for a school that is focused on strong academics, while fostering a Christian world view and nurturing environment, New Covenant Christian School is an excellent place to consider.

We felt welcomed from the moment we began our in-class tour. I was able to see the 3-4 year old class in action and once they explained the co-op experience in detail, I knew it was the right fit for our family. Being a co-op, the school requires parent involvement in the classroom and to serve on a committee. I found the involvement to be one of the best experiences of my life. It's been such a joy to watch my child and his school friends learn and grow. I thought at first it'd be challanging to work and volunteer with the school, but I found a way to make it work and it was worth every sacrifice. My son absolutley loved his first year of pre-k with Mrs. O'Donnell, and we look forward to next year with Mrs. Emerson.
