Reviews
"I would've given five STARS but I didn't because of the hours for single parents. My daughters school Christian Prep Academy are strict with hours. They only let the kids come from 8:30-3:00 making it hard on parents with no help that work from 8:30-5:00. As a single mother at a school that will not allow before and after even with being able to pay the difference is putting my job in jeopardy. Yes I could probably find another center but this is the school near not only my home but my job and I have a child in elementary as well. In my experience at this school the teachers try to leave exactly at the time they close putting a strain on working parents. They are a good school just hard with their hours. Before that they only did 8:30-1:00. So hopefully my employer accept my request to change my work hours so I don't get written up for having to be late and leave early just because of their hours."
"This is an awesome comprehensive program offering a range of services to expectant mothers and children ages 6 weeks to age 3. The program uses a evidence based curriculum know as the Creative Curriculum."
"The program doesn't allow the teachers to teach educationally to the children. They want children to learn through playing. That's not thorough learning, children are supposed to be taught when they're in a child care setting, it prepares them for school. I don't like the program."
