Reviews
Beware! Don't be lured in with the cheap tuition. The old saying is true, you get what you pay for. If you look beyond the smoke and mirrors, you will find a negative owner who only views your child as a dollar sign. Read the reviews for one of her other schools, Holland Country Day School and you will see what you are getting yourself into. Lice, nasty food, and dirty. My neighbor's child briefly attended and is now in a safe loving CLEAN school. Oh, don't be fooled that this is a Christian school. The owner will throw religion in your face, question your faith, and try to make you feel like a bad person. Not worth the hassle!
This place is a mess. there is no structure and the owners are rude to everyone they come into contact with. they’re not supportive or any beliefs or “lifestyles” outside of theirs and they make that very clear. i would not recommend this establishment for a pet hamster as the hamster will get bitten and hit by other children and nothing will be done to stop or discipline the behavior.
