Sun Grove is such a wonderful place for our son! We started in the Infant class at 12 weeks, and…read morehe's almost 2 and is loving the toddler environment! He talks all the time, sings songs, helps at home, eats nearly everything we do, willingly, and LOVES his friends at school! We're so grateful for the opportunity for him to stay through middle school. I can see the benefits of the school in each interaction with every child that I encounter. The parents are great, and the school fosters a true sense of community. I'm eager to see my son continue to flourish with the support and guidance from the staff who care for him like their own child. The individualized approach to learning helps the child to find what they enjoy, how they learn best, and to learn at their pace with their friends doing the same. I love that they can help each other learn while developing social confidence, communication skills, leadership qualities and so many other benefits! Highly recommend it!

We became very disillusioned with this school after having high hopes initially but it became a…read morevery toxic environment which has been corroborated by many other parents and former staff. We only stayed as long as we did because we were waiting for construction of Primrose in Tradition to finish and for it to finally open. Sun Grove is painfully lacking in communication skills with parents and very defensive when dealing with a parent who has a concern or a grievance. A few of the upper staff are highly defensive, abrasive and disrespectful towards parents. The parents of Sun Grove deserve better. Mandatory (they call it volunteer) labor hours for parents and if these hours are not met, they charge money for every hour not completed. We pay over $800 a month tuition. Where is our money going? Why can't they hire professionals to fix things around the school? Extreme food restrictions for lunches/snacks. Parent/student-shaming if an unapproved food is sent. If you're going to only require fruits and vegetables for snacks, they need to be kept cold in order for them to stay viable all day! A small cold pack is not going to stay cold long enough to do that and the school does not offer refrigeration. When we try to send a non-perishable item that our 4yo will actually eat, it is taken away and sent home with a no-no note. Campus floods badly frequently causing parents to have to pick their children up mid-day and often have to leave work to do so. No programs like music, language, etc. No covered playground in the hot Florida sun. Fire ant issues. Our daughter received many fire ant bites. Tons of bugs and mosquitos. Located in a very run-down area of Fort Pierce Fl. Parents are pulling their kids from this school left and right and for good reason. They also currently have no head of school as she was fired after the end of the last school year. Never thought I'd have to say this but steer clear!

I am writing this to warn other families about Calvary Christian Academy. While Pastor Mike sermons…read morethat the church is a place for the sick on weekends, the school's practices don't align. A child must check all their boxes to get in and stay. Our son started with the preschool when they opened. He was there for 3 years, built friendships, and we helped raise money and start construction for the middle school and gymnasium. Now, ready for kindergarten, they dismissed him solely because of his ADHD--even though he scored an 80% on their readiness testing. We loved staff like Mrs. Eliza and Mrs. Mary, who were always great and smiling. However, there are ulterior motives behind staffing. The Head of School is the brother, and most school board members' wives are on staff. Unless your child fits perfectly into a box, be warned they may be cast aside regardless of loyalty.

I had a deeply disappointing experience with Calvary Christian Academy. Despite not even reaching…read morethe stage of touring the school, the administrator, Mariel, was extremely dismissive. She made it clear that I shouldn't even bother with a waitlist and bluntly implied there were no chances for my children to be considered. It felt harsh, especially since she didn't know me or my kids. Based on this interaction alone, I would not recommend this school.

I just had the displeasure of meeting a loving care teacher at the dollar store. Within the first…read morefive minutes, she made sure to let me know that she was the granddaughter of the owner or something like that. Her attitude towards the children in her class is absolutely disgusting, and she does not deserve to be around those kids. Clearly there's a reason this preschool/daycare only has a three star review, and I'm going to guess that a lot of it has to do with the teachers and their nasty attitudes. Also, I didn't happen to catch her name, but if you happen to know who I'm talking about (white woman, middle age, blonde hair)-- I implore you to let her know that striking up conversations with mostly unwilling civilians inside of a dollar store, just to be rude to them, is a very bad idea. Like, seriously, I thought I made it pretty clear with my one word replies that I wasn't interested in speaking to her. Maybe give her a class on reading social cues as well. Have the day you deserve :)
