    If this were 3 years ago I would be praising the school. It has basically turned into a daycare…read morecenter. If that's what you're needs are then I would say absolutely use the state credit and then enroll your child into public school or Model if you are looking for a real private school. My child was enrolled from PreK to 3rd grade after the huge downward spiral in the 3rd grade we pulled him due a number of issues including bringing solid proof to the principal that his teacher was harassing our child. We were told in so many words due to staffing issues that she will always pick the teacher over the student. We copied the superintendent with every single email as well and this was ignored. The teacher in question still works there. St. Marks used to be a safe place for my child and the third grade year was met with extreme anxiety due to this teacher. We were told to trust and there was no way this teacher was causing it. I feel ashamed I didn't pull my child sooner. You will not have the protection of a 504. My child is immunocompromised and I remember saying to the principal I am sorry my child doesn't have a cookie cutter illness like cancer. This year we have been going back and forth to Nortons in Louisville and will start having to travel to Cincinnati. The 504 I have in place with the public school protects my child. The teacher from last year refused to do a single thing the OT therapist requested, yet the public school and 5 teachers have not one issue. Save your money. Use it as a daycare and find a better place.

    Saint Mark is the only fully accredited faith-based school in Madison County. If you are looking…read morefor a school with small class sizes, teachers who teach with passion, and where every single student is at or above grade level, then search no more. We have had our oldest in their Pre-K program since she was 2 and her development has been amazing to watch. Along with an exceptional K - 5 program they have the only Pre-K program in which children can go full time/part time, full day/half day. The best part is they can continue up through 5th grade so that they really get a sense of family in addition to a quality education. Character is what helps to set this school apart from others. The Pledge of Allegiance is said daily, and they actively encourage student prayers. At the end of each school day they set aside time where students can give "shout outs" to other students for their acheivements, as well as apologize for when their behavior may not have been up to par. This accountability comes from the students, which makes it even more special. The principal works day in and day out to ensure her students and staff have the tools they need to ensure a quality education. She is actively involved in the parent/teacher associations as well. I have never met teachers more devoted to the success of their students than those at Saint Mark. With small school sizes, they are able to pay more attention to each student as an individual and cater to their learning style more easily.

    What a neat place for kids! The studio created multiple stations with different activities for the…read morekids to play and create art! There was a playdoh station, play house station, leprechaun trap art station, colored rice station, spin art and a sand station. And more! My kids totally loved it and stayed busy the whole time. We will definitely be coming back for another play time! The place was clean, the staff was helpful, bathroom was clean and the front part of the studio has a cute toy shop with lots of cute toys to choose from. The price was $20 per kid which I think is a decent price for the activities!

The entrance to Create is a toy store and it looked like they had a lot of fun items- I will definitely be back when looking for kids gifts. We were welcomed by the owners through the lego rainbow to join the party. My son was immediately so excited about all the fun activities that were set up! There were 3 sensory/play bins, a play dough station, and an art station arranged with tons of supplies for the party-goers to paint a doughnut. My son is a year and a half so he was mainly into the sensory bins. There was also a giant "cake" set up with colored shaving cream "paint" so the attendees could decorate the cake. I was a little worried that my son was making such a mess being pretty young, but the owners were really chill about it and encouraged him to participate! We had a great experience and I would love to go back to Create!

    This review is specifically for the sports complex/fields. We've played here several times through…read moretravel soccer. The complex has plenty of parking. On busy days, it does get fairly congested though so make sure you leave early. The fields themselves are nice with an exception for a few that are pretty lumpy. Overall, this is a nice complex!

    Lexington Christian Academy drew me away from God. I came to the school in search for a Christian…read morecommunity that would help me grow in my faith, but in fact, it drew me far away from it. I was surrounded by people calling themselves Christians - while at the exact same time, I saw them tear down the very ones made in His image. An example of this being my entire class and upperclassmen (with the exception of few), making fun of one girl who struggled with a disability. They made an Instagram "fan page" of her - her profile picture being black snakes coming out of her eyes. I was once told by a staff member that, on another occasion, an entire grade dressed up as one student in order to make fun of her. But, because the staff "could not prove the bullying," they did nothing to stop it. However, I would be lying if I did not say there are some genuinely kind teachers at the school that truly love their students. But, that will most likely not be the takeaway in your child's experience at LCA. In the classroom, things from the Bible are skewed in their teaching. For example, it's taught that if you're anxious, you're not a true Christian. It's taught that if you pray for doctors and nurses, rather than solely God's miracles, you're not truly believing in the power of God. Teachings like these saturate the classroom. There is extremely little diversity, though their deceptive marketing will put a minority poster child on the front page of their website. What I experienced at LCA was truly traumatic to me. If you are considering sending your child there, and they are at all doubting their faith in whatever way, please prayerfully re-consider. I write this review out of deep disturbance and concern for your child's faith.

    I can't say enough about this school. It's truly education for life, promoting not only education…read moreas a FUN experience but also teaching extremely important life skills and values such as sharing, teamwork, problem solving, self esteem, independence, healthy eating, conservation, and managing conflicts (and so much more!) It is these values that help us go far in life in terms of occupation as well as the quality of our life. VMS feels more like a big family on a comfortable farm. My two children LOVE to go to school and at 5, my daughter is already working on multiplication because she enjoys it. Math is so much more fun when taught in a hands on colorful method. Maria Montessori was an amazing person and ALL schools can benefit from what she knew a century ago. I could not decide on the right school for my daughters but when I first visited, my gut feeling was this was the place for us and it was the best decision I could have made. I visited so many other schools, including other montessori programs, but none had the family feel of this one and the love these teachers and staff have for the children is exuded - you can feel it! I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of VMS and happy to answer any questions of my experiences.
