My son went to CASA from kindergarten to 6th grade. It's a hidden gem in Raleigh. In recent years,…read morethey relocated to Wake Forest. I absolutely had wonderful interactions with the teachers from ALL grades, children, parents, the receptionist (s), physical ed teacher, the principal. I only have GREAT things to say about CASA. We moved out-of-state and my son still talks about CASA. He's in 10th grade now. He's still in touch with his friends from CASA. I miss it deeply, and I wish them ALL the success of the world. They deserve it!

This is my little boy's first year of school! Because of this school I feel like he has started…read moreKindergarten in a warm, excepting, and welcoming environment where he can learn and grow. Since starting school he has been asking questions with a new found curiosity for things! I appreciate how involved the parents are in the education process. I feel like I am truly working with the faculty in providing the very best education for my son! I'm exited about what our journey as a Casa Family will bring!

My daughter attended this school for four years, and from the very beginning to the end, she was…read moretruly happy. The teachers and administrative staff genuinely care about each student's environment, with respect and kindness being top priorities. As a parent, you can feel that, and my daughter always shared her happiness with me. Academically, Envision is excellent, and the state test results prove it. My daughter and I highly recommend this school to everyone--and when I say everyone, I mean EVERYONE.

My grandson started first grade here and now is in third. First, I want to say that all the…read moreteachers really care about students and spend time working to meet their needs in terms of instruction. They did an exceptional job during the virtual learning stint last year when COVID-19 closed down the schools. Daily lessons were reasonable and interesting by using a combination of online materials and assignments that were done by students using materials at home and interest topics of their choice. No "drill and kill" assignments in the lot! Also, there was enough flexibility in the schedule that students could take an occasional break and have choices in which activity they did next on their workboard of assignments. Now that they are back in the building, safety and health are a high priority and activities are more project based and hands-on with materials of interest. I am very happy that he is attending ESA. He is learning and enjoying the time spent at school.

My son has been attending HMCS for just under a year now. It has been a great experience so far…read more They aren't the least expensive, but they aren't the most expensvie. I toured all of the 4 and 5 star preschools when it was time for my son to begin. HMCS was a 4 star at that time and I was still more impressed them than the other schools, including the ones with 5 star ratings. HMCS is now rated as a 5 star. The directors/teachers actually care about each student and it shows. The location is convenient, but right next to a gas station. At first I thought it was kind of an ugly view from the playground, but there are bushes and the kids don't seem to think twice about the surroundings outisde of the playground anyway.

My grandson has been attending Harps Mill Creative School since 2017. I have seen so many teachers…read morecome and go during this period of time and that is the most negative thing about Harps Mill. I have also had some problems with a couple of the students, but as soon as I addressed the situation with the Director, she took care of things immediately. The Director is Aisha Eugene and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is professional, polite, concerned with any issues, and works diligently to make sure that the children are safe and well looked after. She is also accessible and that is very important to parents and grandparents. My grandson adores her as well as my husband and I. As grandparents raising our grandson, we are obviously older and more attuned to his needs. We are raising him to be respectful, courteous, and mannerly, and we want him to be treated the same by others. We have brought a few situations to the attention of Ms. Eugene and she has thoughtfully reviewed what improvements can be made. Harps Mill Creative School is extremely lucky to have her!

I enjoy taking my kids here during the summer months. The club director is very nice, and takes…read moretime to get to know all kids. I really enjoy the price. For $35 the kids can spend all summer here. Lunch is provided, but if you want some of the extracurricular activities, then that would cost a little extra. It is only a nominal fee, but they give you the option of whether or not you want to participate in it. I bring my kids here every summer to hang out, and have fun with their friends.

Best preschool in Raleigh-bar none! We have been with this…read morepreschool for 6 years now. All four of our children have attended and now only our youngest child is left as the older siblings have moved on to elementary school! So only 2 more years left of GSLP! Bittersweet! As a newer mother when I was researching all the local preschools I was directed to GSLP by a dear friend whom I admired. I visited them all, asked lots of questions and by far, GSLP was the most prepared, most cost efficient and most qualified. I personally really like the schedule and the times the preschool runs. 9:30am is after the early morning rush so it is the PERFECT starting time. And the fact that the children get to have lunch there-what a blessing! So many other preschools end around lunchtime-and they cost the same if not more for having children there for less hours! (Why? Hmmmm...I dunno!) 1:20pm is a great endidng time because it is after lunch so you don't have to deal with the hurry to get the kids fed right after picking them up, yet it is still before afternoon quiet times (which all younger children, in my humble opinion, should have. Saves mom from going insane and gives them some time to themselves. THAT in and of itself can be talked about for hours....Ok, I digress....) All of the teachers are certified and have extensive backgrounds in teaching. Their curriculum is superb and all of our children have fond memories of GSLP. The parents are very involved and frankly, as each year passes the school improves even when I think it can't improve any more! The Director, Deanna Klimek, is very hands on. Her staff responds well with her and you can tell they all really enjoy working together. Their biggest love, and rightfully so-is the children! Oh how they all love those precious children! We have never doubted our decision to send our children to Good Shepherd. I encourage every parent who is wondering where to send his/her children-to just register those little one/s! You will be so glad you did!!

All the teachers have a background in child development or education and follow a curriculum that prepares children for entering kindergarten. The children stay very busy and engaged. They go to Music and Movement each day and chapel once a week. The older children also have Spanish lessons. We love coming into school each day and are always greeted by the Director, Deanna, and Mr. Mike.

I simply dropped my paperwork off and was told someone would call me before his start date. Ummm, ok. I'm not used to that. I don't know the teachers name or room number. I wasn't given any documents about the school. I guess I just have to figure it all out on my own. Not very impressed with River Bend Elementary at this point. Let's see what happens when he starts.
