We were initially excited about enrolling our daughter in a Spanish immersion program, but…read moreunfortunately, this daycare was not a good fit. We withdrew our 6-month-old after just a couple of months due to ongoing concerns. The classroom was consistently overheated--so much so that sleep sacks weren't allowed, and even after dressing her in light summer clothes, we were told daily that she was sweating and fussy. There's also no real-time communication or app--just a paper report at pickup, which regularly stated she was grumpy. At home, she's incredibly calm (we call her "baby chill"), so we were surprised by the daily feedback. We even brought in a baby bjorn to help soothe her, but the promised A/C repairs never materialized. Sadly, we can't recommend this school based on our experience.

My son has been there for 6 months and we've had a great experience. The facilities are clean and…read morethe staff is professional. My son loves the food there (he often cleans his plate there while only eating half of what we give him at home). As far as the language piece goes, I love that our kid is set up to speak another language, the groundwork for language at a young age is very important. It is a bit more expensive than some of the other options available, but none of these places can compete with the educational advantages and immersion program can offer.

This school didn't last even 30 days. Infant care is extremely tough to find so once we realized this school wasn't a good fit there were no other schools that had places.

There are a lot of places out there that don't care, but here they do. Mrs. Sandy in 0-6months is a soft spoken loving woman, I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with her and didn't want my baby to move out of her room. Mrs. Karina was her next teacher in 6-12 months and the room is still connected to Mrs. Sandy's which I liked. Mrs. K is fun, caring, and really works with the kids. She'll turn your baby into a toddler which you will love/hate :p I also have older that went here and I can say that Mrs. Jeanette and Mrs. Jessica were quickly favored. Even the teachers aids are great. They always put up new photos and charts to show what the kids have been doing and if I have any issues the director Stephanie, and the assistant director Gretchen are are wonderful, attentive leaders who get down in the trenches with their co-workers. I got on Yelp originally to look for a new day care that was closer to my house. Instead I noticed there were no reviews for this day care. I having gone here for so long I decided to write one. After saying all I have stay, I don't care how far it is I wouldn't trust anyone else with my children.

My family volunteered, took on odd jobs and were most grateful for this place in the four fab Fowler kids' upbringing. Once they went to public schools, the memorization, phonics based reading education and clear tried and true lessons in math history drama and science taught by passionate instructors was instrumental in their superb public school habits and grades.

It was such a great experience that the next year we moved her into five days. The next year pre-K, kindergarten and then added child number two and eventually child number three. We have got to experience many different styles of teaching, grades, and also how it's different between girls and boys but one clear message is the same: that you are loved and that God loves you. The Education is excellent. It's also really fun to see organized sports, arts and extra curricular activities beginning within the school at the early ages too! We have loved it, and if you quickly do the math for three children, you can easily see that it is beyond worth it to us!!!

And as expected multiple kids failed. all it is, is money hungry staff, would NOT reccomend.

As a parent of a former student of this school, I cannot tell you how poor of a decision choosing…read moreMaranatha for my child's Christian education was. They emphasize requiring children to work out their problems themselves. In spirit, this appears to be a great tool to equip children to become resourceful and accountable adults. In hindsight, this emphasis is built on a utility the school uses to separate children from their parents on an emotional level. This school is EXACTLY what we were trying to avoid in the public school system. This school believes they are better equipped to raise your children than you are, and when you are able to recognize this, you see it in everything they do. For example, parents are not allowed to speak to teachers without using the school's provided communication systems (which do not allow you to keep a backup of for your own records.) No personal emails, text messages, phone calls, or the like -- they want to monitor every exchange parents have with any employee of the school and they retain and control all access to these communications. In multiple interactions with administration, it became highly apparent that this school is harboring some highly narcissistic and mentally deranged people. Please, for the sake of your children, run far away! We did, and couldn't be happier. We only wish we had not made this mistake at all.
