    Think hard, don't lie to yourself... Does your child need a bit of support academically? Do you…read morethink they might? Do you want small class sizes? Are they on meds that need to be administered at school? Are they Neurodiverse (Dyslexic, Anxiety, ADHD, Autistic, Dyscalculia, etc.)? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this school probably isn't for you. We really loved the school when the kid was younger. But, partway through the lower school, supports and amenities suddenly got a lot more scarce! The Middle School is even worse. Were the staff at fault? Usually not. Decisions were made and the kids that needed a bit of help paid the price. There isn't a school nurse. They have remodeled some of the specialist-type classrooms to convert them into classrooms. There has been quite a bit of staff leaving in the last 5 years. There isn't a real 9:1 kid to teacher ratio in practice, they use alternative accounting practices including counting staff members like the librarian (kids see the librarian for an hour or less per week while most teachers rush back to their rooms for preparation time leaving the librarian often alone with the kids). Teacher assistants in the lower school are not necessarily full time and are often pulled from class to cover teachers and things like playground duties. The administration is actively trying to add more students per class, and more classes overall, as all administrators are prone to do. In short, while it is a beautiful school, it isn't for everyone. Try not to be dazzled and ask the hard questions. See if this is right for your family. It is an expensive question to get wrong.

    We switched from public school to LCA and are grateful for the experience. Our children have…read morereceived a better education than they received at public school and in a much better environment - not only are other students respectful during class but teachers care about the well being of the students. Our kids are very athletic and we have one that is attending a D2 school on athletic scholarship and our other children are competing in sports and getting play time and those sports that LCA does not offer, like Lacrosse, they are able to play through our neighborhood high school. We have been very pleased with our experience here.

    Would give zero stars if I could. Please don't send your kids to this school. The teachings do not…read morereflect the Bible and represent hateful, discriminatory views. If you don't want to cause trauma to your kids, don't send them to Life Christian. As a former "lifer" and one of the few student athletes to go on to play D1 sports, and someone who's family has been a large part of the church for 4 generations, I can speak with certainty the trauma this place causes. I've watched it decline more and more since I graduated. The grade level education does not meet the level of education at public schools and especially does not compete with other private schools. Many students who left Life Christian felt under prepared at other schools because of the gap in education. Math and science programs are purposely under funded. The nepotism, rampant misogyny and over sexualization of young women, and unhealthy power dynamics should send any parent running from this institution.

    We started up at this daycare when my son was 1.5 years old. He is now 6. I was extremely impressed…read morewith the level of education he received. When my son finally started up Kindergarten, he was considered advanced due to the attention he received. Their summer camp program is a lot of fun for the older kids. They have an event set up at the location or they are out traveling to different locations (parks, restaurants ect). I originally had my kids set up for summer camp through their elementary school, but quickly found out that Acheivement Center had a better set up. It was worth the extra traveling time to have them set up here (we live in puyallup but I work in Tacoma) Acheivement center really is a great set up. Every employee greets the children and acknowledges them, even if they are just walking by. My twins, who are currently 1.5 years old are also lucky enough to attend here and have grown so much socially since starting. I really can't say enough about this place. It has become my children's home away from home.

    I'm going to say this... The first thing I noticed about this place is it smelled better than the…read moreformer place we we had our son at. The care and attention here seems a little better and the staff are seem less stressed and more attentive too. So to sum this review up: If you're looking for a clean, safe, friendly environment for your kids to blossom and grow and live near by then this is a good place to check out. They've been in business since 1976 and the current owner started here in 1985 and you can be assured your child is in good hands. My review would be a 5 star review accept: Due to having not having AC I was forced to take time off from work early on a few of the hot days to pickup my kid. I also got no such compensation on my bill for having to do such. My other little annoyance with the facility itself is the parking, the spots aren't marked and people just park all over the driveway like idiots at times which makes it very difficult to safely get in and out.
