Parents' Comments

Parent #1
This school is a wonderful school! We have been affliated with this school for the past six years. Our 2 oldest children attended through kindergarten and our youngest would have started in the toddler class this fall--if we were not moving to another area. The teachers are wonderful and loving. The program is based on an "abeka"/homeschool curriculum so the children learn an amazing amount while having fun. They have spanish and music weekly. They attend chapel once a month as well. A great preschool that teaches christian values while having lots of fun! The only drawbacks are that the day is not long enough and the school only goes to kindegarten.

Parents' Opinions
Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children: are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

As for the snacks, there is usually a week assigned to each child in the class. Therefore, the snacks are provided by the parents. The school greatly encourages healthy snacks but if a parent provides a more "treat" of a snack that is what the children are given. However, the teachers to have extra snacks in the room. If there is something a child may not want.
