I have used this provider for less than 6 months

My experience with this school was incredibly disappointing, and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone, especially if your child has any special needs. We enrolled our three-year-old, who is on the autism spectrum, with a clear goal in mind: to provide him with an opportunity to learn and adapt to a classroom environment before Kindergarten. We were fully committed to ensuring his success, ready to take all necessary steps, including starting with half-days and maintaining consistent communication with the school.
 
The initial appeal of this Christian school, which boasted "advanced" safety features, was quickly overshadowed. Within just three hours of my child being there, he was kicked out. The reason? He managed to open a gate on the playground during playtime. After the class returned to the classroom, it seems he was left inappropriately supervised, and he wandered back to the playground alone. Instead of addressing the situation responsibly, we received a call to pick him up with the explanation that "HE poses a safety concern."
 
What followed was nothing short of shocking and completely unprofessional. Before my husband even reached the school to pick up our child, our access codes were revoked from the doors, our camera access was disabled, and we were removed from the school's Facebook group. To add insult to injury, our child's belongings were piled up by the door, indicating a complete lack of empathy and respect for our child's situation.
 
In the parent handbook, the school proudly claims to abide by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a federal law designed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum. However, our experience with this school suggests a clear disregard for these commitments.
 
This incident has left us deeply disappointed and distressed, and we strongly advise any parents considering this school for their child, especially if they have special needs, to think twice. The way we were treated was not only unprofessional but also hurtful. Our child deserved better, and so do others.

I agree with the other reviews. No compassion what so ever from the teachers/providers. I would NEVER recommended this school to anyone for their children.

This is an amazing school! We've had our oldest here for 4 years and he has learned so much from all of the wonderful, engaged, caring teachers. Every teacher knows every child, even the ones in other classes. Our youngest started in the nursery a year ago so we've now had experience at every level from nursery through pre-k and cannot say enough about what a wonderful place this is for kids to learn and grow.

I agree with the first review!! This school is horrible and the teacher my son had could up her compassion level by 100% Most of the teachers there have no children but a degree which means nothing to me! A young child needs love and support, but my child got the cold shoulder! I had a horrific experience there and I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone send their child here.  I should have listened to my son weeks ago when he said he did not want to go to that school! I took him out and could not be any happier with my decision!

Sub-par teachers for the cost. They boast their teachers have degrees in early childhood education. Yes, but the degree is worthless without compassion and actually wanting to care for children instead of collecting a paycheck. They should channel their time, energy and funds into the teachers instead of fancy office decor and flat screen tv's.
