CornerStone Christian Academy & Tykes Preschool 5825 Eldora Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89146

"In November 2020, I scheduled a tour over the phone with Cornerstone to check out their Elementary school program. My daughter was due to begin kindergarten in the Fall of 2021 and my husband and I knew that we wanted our daughter to be in a private school. Prior to my tour appointment for CCA, I had already toured St. Christopher's Catholic (virtually), Merryhill Elementary School (virtually), Challenger School Los Prados (in person) and St. Anne Catholic School (in person). The school does not look much from the outside but upon entering, I was greeted by a very welcoming front office staff. My tour guide (can't remember her name at the moment) is in charge of the curriculum selection for the school. She gave me a very thorough and detailed tour. She showed me all the areas (apart from the preschool since I was there for the elementary school). She gave me an insight as to what they were doing to keep the children and staff safe during the pandemic in order to be able to stay open all school year. Unlike CCSD schools and charters, CCA was still doing in person learning and stayed open all 2020-2021school year. The school has an impressive dance studio, beautiful chapel, playgrounds to accommodate all ages and more. When our tour concluded I knew that I wanted my daughter to go to school there. I was that impressed not only with the work they do with the children but with the overall feeling that I had throughout my tour. It was at this time that my tour guide advised me that when the time came near for kindergarten open enrollment, my child would have to be tested to see if their rigorous curriculum would be a good fit for my child. The children in their PreK program had an automatic reserved spot but if I wanted her to go there, she'd have to be tested. She handed me a packet with all the things she would be tested on for me to work on with her at home. My daughter was no where near ready, so I asked for information about the PreK program. The Preschool Director, Ms. Benson (ahhhmazing lady), gave me a quick tour of the preschool side. She brought my daughter and I to one of the preK classrooms and it was one of the best classrooms I have ever been in. My shy girl was completely engaged with the whole room and the teachers and the students were so kind to her. Needless to say, I signed her up for their PreK program that day! My daughter is currently in their Kindergarten program and she is thriving and getting a great education. We look forward to many years with CCA. As long as we are stationed here, my daughter will be going to CCA. ---Lillian W."

"Great school. Clean. My kid never got sick again ever since he started. great communication with the parents. Staff cares. Good teacher to child ratio. Professional teachers. Great environment. I wish more parents knew about this school. My child used to be at children's learning adventure and was always home sick due to the amount of germs in their classrooms. Cornerstone is the best."

"We love Cornerstone Christian Academy. The director Amy Benson is amazing and truly seems to love what she does. Our son loved his praying penguin teachers Mrs. Williams and Miss Corona and will truly miss them as he advances to his next class Marvellous Monkeys. We look forward to another positive yr in his education and growth in general.Nurse Zwani is simply God send. Keep up the good work. Proud parent."

"My son has been attending Cornerstone since he was 2 yrs old. He feels loved and cared for. You can tell the teachers see the best in your child and they try to bring that out. Their academics are challenging and he has new experiences each day. I can tell because he asks lots of questions at home and shows me new academic skills every day. The teachers (and school) love God and they reinforce God’s love with the kids."

"I love this school! The teachers truly love teaching and they are genuinely interested in the children. Yes they do a lot of fund raising but it all goes back into the school. Nothing but the best for the kids... Front office staff is awesome and I like the fact that they will tell you if and when your child needs more than the school can offer. Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Bolt, Mrs. Skipper, Mrs. Anderson are only a handful of truly wonderful teachers that are at Cornerstone."
