Eastside Christian Academy

My wife and I made a terrible lack of judgement when choosing ECAC for our childcare needs. We have been extremely polite and friendly with the staff and have always paid on time. Our four year old developed a terrible fear of going to this school within a month of starting. After relaying our concerns to the director multiple times we felt it was best to remove our daughter from ECAC to another Preschool. The teacher that my daughter was afraid of was let go however we had already made other arrangements. We made our final payment in full and notified the director and asst. director of our plans using the forms they provided. We were then accused of having not made our final payment. We notified them and they said it was their mistake and that it was corrected. A week later we received another email saying if we did not pay within two days it would be turned over to collections. They once again admitted it was a 'mistake'. I had to request a letter from the director stating we did not owe them anything just in case they convienantly made another 'mistake' and cause a negative blemish on our credit rating. Please use caution and good judgement when considering this school. The atmosphere is not what one would expect from a 'Christian' institution. Our daughter went from happy and joyful to fearful and scared within a matter of weeks while attending this school. We have heard several other stories/comments similar to this from families within our church group.
