For all my Yelp followers and local fans, I'm back at it again with another review, I'm like the…read moreDos Equis guy... I don't always write reviews on schools but when I do it's going to be about the Sunshine House Where do I begin? June 2023...just touched down in GA from Los Angeles, don't know a single soul in the Peach state and moved out here from an area that has a very educated driven school system (Arcadia), yup if your from CA you'll know that it's #2 best place to teach, #4 best school in California and #38 best in USA, their high school has graduated 100% of their class 3 years in a row with over 3.5gpa average...Aiko was in that type of school system, so my expectations were against me moving to a small city of Grayson. June 2023 touched based in GA by early July I ran over to a few other pre-k nearby and let's just say I was not impressed, matter of fact I was really considering just not enrolling my daughter in school all together until she was like 11, really it was that bad I was willing to take my chances. No joke I entered a preK nearby without being buzzed in cus a little kid about 7 yrs old just ran and opened the door for me, yah no we ain't doing that. I was so conflicted, I needed her to continue being social, learning and most importantly I need my space! Quick 411 on our daughter (Aiko) she's a diva, she wants to be a model and makeup artist, she already decided that at 5! She HATES school with a passion, you know how you feel waking up on a Monday morning to go to work? Yeah...that's her everyday! Needless to say the Lord likes to test my wife and I with some patience every morning, us real parents know what that is like, Aiko get your A** up now it's 7:54 and we gonna be late ! Jp baby we love ya :) Drive by Sunshine House on a weekly basis and decided to pop in one day just to ask about pricing/availability, the usual, already not expecting much based on the other school visits, but The VIBES!!! Shoot I felt like I walked into a Waffle House, 2 gals up front greeted me with a smile, some info and even called out the director (Ms Bartlett) who was also super nice and welcoming (Southern Hospitality) I guess does exist still, anyways she gave me a quick tour of the place, handed me some paperwork, told me some pricing and the rest is history...well not kinda... Fast fwd about 1.5 months school is about to start in 1 week, omg I forgot my packet! Aiko isn't enrolled! My wife thinks otherwise cus I'm a typical husband who lied about getting everything done! I offer to go grab her Starbucks but in reality I rush over to Sunshine House prayingggggg all the spots aren't taken, the girls upfront are laughin when I tell them what I've done, they say uhhhh I think it's to late but let me ask the director...yup you guessed it! They were still able to take her! They not only saved a spot for her but they saved my marriage! Now, if you've made it this far you've learned that the other schools in the area suck, trust me I'm the most honest guy I know. You also probably understand the ladies who work here are friendly, you also understand it's really dangerous to lie to your wife. Now the fun stuff. The teachers! Ms Cindy and Ms Jess or Ms Jazz, according to Aiko So remember I mentioned earlier Aiko hates school, yeah she's that kid. Cries everyday! Every teachers words, says shell get used to it, naw I know my kid she ain't gettin over nada! Well, Ms Cindy and Ms Jazz really play a huge part in Aikos school life, though she still cries time to time she is much much more willing to participate so that tells me they have left an imprint in her heart to gain her trust, for that alone it gives me peace and mind which I believe is the important attribute for any parent to require from a school/teachers. Aiko made her first best friend here also, Tallulah, shout to ya girl! Oh, side note Ms Jazz and Ms Cindy secretly run a hair braiding business during school hours cus I send Aiko to school with her hair down and at least once a week she comes back with hair hair lookin fleek! As you can hear, Aiko really enjoys her time here, lots of friends, nice staff, activities, memories and most importantly no kids opening a coded door for you, what else could you ask for in a school? My Wife likes to remind me how I almost forgot about our daughters education, Im a man of faith, I see it more as if the school was meant to be God will make a way, he did and I'm so thankful everyday, this place has been a true blessing for our family and Aiko, she's made so many friends and memories here in the past year so with that being said... I recommend anyone who is looking for a PreK to check this place out first, or last (if you are a risk taker like myself) the staff is awesome, facility is always clean, friendly parents and they are always engaged in activities. Your child/children will definitely leave better than they arrived because they treat your children with love!

The school looked nice so I filled out an application for my son to attend for the summer session…read more They told me it would take 1-2 weeks to know if he was accepted. I called twice and was told his application was with the director and they would get back to me. It's now going on week 6 and I still haven't heard back from them. By week 3 I had to take off of work to go tour schools and find my son somewhere else to go.

4th Grade was so fun they motivate us to pass to 5th grade They gave us wings, chips, and drinks…read more Our math Teacher gave us Snacks each question we get right.

Thank you! My student has the intelligence, but early on academic drive and willingness to ask questions were not his strong points. After a few semesters of "C"s, we enrolled him at TLC. The constant exposure and comfort level along with a tutor that fit his personality ensured an "A"! We were thrilled. THANK YOU TLC!!

Good luck this place cares more about money than your child's education. Getting make up classes is…read morenext to impossible and will only be made up at TLC convenience. When I did ask for the make up days I had to deal with the owner. I had to withdraw my son just to get them. Dealing with Carol the owner is not easy. She is extremely unprofessional I loved being told "$350 is not a lot of money" when we were discussing the months worth of makeup days. My son was there for reading we had to take a test that was $ to see what level he was in the beginning. You want to know how much your child has improved that will be $ to take the test again to find out. I could go on about more. I originally gave them a one star and no comment until Carol called my wife at work asking me to take down the review.

After 9th grade, when my public school became so violent and overcrowded that it was no longer…read moresafe, I got sent to Paideia. My 3 years here were the best years of my entire educational career - including college and grad school! This place really is the most amazing school ever. I remember my first day just like it was yesterday. I was accompanied by one of my best friends, who was also making the big switch to a more civilized school. We sat in front of the bathrooms for like 10 minutes trying to figure out which one was for boys and which was for girls. Turned out you just use whichever one is open! In addition to just being an awesome environment, where you are accepted for being whoever you are, Paideia has a great curriculum. The year is divided into short and long terms. In the long terms, you take the standard stuff - physics, math, languages, etc. The short term is for classes that are a little more outside the box - Sociology of American Rock & Roll anyone? The teachers here are absolutely outstanding! You can totally tell that they love the school and truly believe in it's mission. And Paul, the headmaster, is just an all around great guy. Graduation was awesome. My graduating class was 57 people and Paul made a short speech about every single one of us! I am so thankful that I was able to go to Paideia on a scholarship. I regularly give them money so that others can do so as well. I am also backing them in their efforts to take over the whole block! Go Paideia!
