About the Provider

Description: What is Calvary North Preschool?

Let’s start with what the preschool is NOT.

It is not a daycare or babysitting service; it is not a place for your child to just learn his/her ABC’s or how to count.

Calvary North Preschool is a place where your child:
* will be taught Christian love, grace and mercy.
* is seen as a gift from God to you and us requiring great responsibility.
* will receive quality training and instruction in life-skills from a Christian perspective.
* begins his/her academic preparation.
* will understand his/her value through our encouraging, nurturing and loving environment.
* is physically, emotionally and spiritually safe.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The director and lead pastor or this “christian school” treated my family and I horrible. They charged us fees for their billing errors and sent scathing emails when simple questions were asked about the fees. They changed their payment policy repeatedly. The kids were locked up in the room all day, not so much as even allowed to go outside and stretch. Our child was accused of picking on a smaller kid, when they were simply playing. When we spoke to the senior pastor, we were served with scathing emails from the school director with threats and her opinion of the value of our faith etc. The pastor had his opinion too and it stunk. Save yourself money, heartache and disappointment, go to a secular program. They are better, cheaper and the staff are authentic.
