The Academy is run by Miss Carol she and her staff have the kids safety and security and the educational needs in hand. We get calls from around the world of military families that have heard of our Academy, and with their transfer back to Dyess, they want their children enrolled. It is truly amazing to hear of the world wide calls and the happiness of their enrollment. Rooms are age specific and designed for education. Great staff, gear facilities and a new covered playground with complete building surround to keep the kids safe. This puts a great start on learning and builds our future with a great educational foundation.

I am biased, and need to justify this rating. We were looking for a church to call home. We tried…read moremany for many years. Then we tried Aldersgate. At the end of the sermon, my wife, and daughter looked at me and said we had found it. Very caring people. Welcoming folk, want to know you, help you in any way. The church renovated all the bathrooms and access to be accessible to all. As an example, communion comes to those in scooters, walkers or mobility chairs. Personal service. Additionally, we found a great Sunday school class to belong to. When it came time to join the church, our whole class stood with us as we joined. We have four missions in Abilene: McMurray University, Bowie grade school, our neighborhood, and our Pre school academy. My wife and I work with grade school kids tutoring after school. Very fulfilling, enriching and makes us feel better. I hope I've done our church service placing them on Yelp.

This is the most unrealistic day care I've ever been too. I understand wanting to keep our kids…read moresave from the CCP virus. However when you checking the kids temp right after playing out side in 100*F temperatures the child in question will be warm. And sending then send the kid home and there siblings for 3 days and expect the parents to pay full price is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Then we have the lack of care to the kids that I have seen. One my two kids always come home dehydrated, the two kids I have also are learning at at horrible rate. There cousins are the same age give or take a month or two. And are able to speak better, already know there alphabet, and understand much more about the world. However this day care hasn't don't much in this department. My two kids don't even speak vary well even with my daily practice and work with them. They don't know there alphabet and have a hard time with things in general. Basically I would never recommend this place to anyone's kids.

Our experience with the South Willis location was not consistent with what our family knew of the…read moreKindercare standard. The bathrooms routinely had dried poop on the tank and on multiple occasions I gagged walking in the front door from the smell of urine. The level of laziness in not properly cleaning or sanitizing carried over into the way my child was treated. I saw teachers texting almost daily and for weeks during drop off there was no acknowledgement or attempt to help my child adjust or become comfortable at the center. The center leadership is inconsistent in their communication with parents and very clearly does not value child development (only the avoidance of anything that requires the center and teachers to do their job). As a direct result of this center, I will never recommend kindercare or select a kindercare location for the care of child. If kindercare corporate allows any of their locations to be managed this way - I do not want any part of it.

This school is a gem for the city of Abilene. My granddaughter has been attending St John's since…read morepre K. She is now in second grade and has just thrived there. She learned to read virtually overnight; however, what I have really noticed is how polite and kind she is to everyone. She is learning far more than the "three R's" at St John's. I live out of town and recently visited my family in Abilene. I went to chapel at St John's and then spent a few minutes visiting my granddaughter's class and a third grade class, taught by my daughter, who recently left public school teaching. I am a former teacher; my sister is a teacher. I had two aunts who were teachers, so I believe I can objectively say: St John's is a very special school.

Clack is one of Abilene's Middle Schools. While i personally don't think it is run as efficiently…read moreas Dyess Elementary, I do believe that they still are doing a pretty good job. The staff is always available for any doubt/concern a parent may have. Particularly efficient are the counselors, always attentice and perceptive to the needs of the students. I would like to personally give some HUGE kudos to the ESL program and teacher, Ms. Marshall, essential to an ever growing international community, it provides the safest and most thriving environment for those students whose only need is to be nurtured and made to bloom. Also worth a merit mention is Ms. Josselet's English class, being able to work on PCs, comfortably read books on poofs, interact both with the teacher and other students in a relaxed environment makes progressing in one's class a truly intuitive and positive experience. The structure is very efficient, the diversified timetable provides a safe environment for younger students, preventing (for the most part) bullying from older stundents. The bully report form is also a great deterrent. I find having to fast-paced walk (no running allowed) from one end to the other of the school risking a tardy a bit too strict but i guess with so many students, discipline is the key. I really approve of the tutoring, offered either before or after normal school hours, free of charge to allow students to have passong grades All in all, this school deserves a solid 4-stars.
