Pre 3 They drew the picture, painted and cut it themselves.

Love the school. All the faculty members are pleasant & super friendly. My kids went for Pre 3. Challenger gave them a great foundation learning how to read and write. Both my kids loved Summerlin Challenger. Whenever I use to go pick them up they would ask me to come back later, they didn't want to leave school just yet. On the weekends they would ask if they can go to school. My kids love to learn and is always happy to go to school. I never had a bad encounter with any of the faculty members. Rude & disrespectful parents, yes, but never with the faculty. Most parents are in a rush to drop their kids off in the morning. Some may stop and say Hi but the rest are in a rush to work etc and you can see their impatience. My kids never had any problems at the school. The response time from the school was a couple of hours not days. The curriculum they had was advanced and my kids were challenged. Their minds were simulated and engaged in school activities. I was able to have access to everything they were doing broken down hour by hour. Having online access to their worksheets and learning tools was very helpful and helped keep me organized. All in all we all love Challenger - it really is an advanced learning institution for young minds.

My daughter loves challenges school

The things that they learn are surprising to me, as I know I learned some of the things way later in public school.

My daughter has an IEP program and this was the school we picked for her to be at, after an initial…read moretour. My daughter is 3 years old and had never attended any prior school or daycare. The first day she cried when I dropped her off (as is expected) and was still crying when I arrived to pick her up. That was disappointing but hopefully things would be better the next day.. The second day she cries again as I drop her off and she's crying, once again, as they are walking out from pickup. I see her fall down as she's being walked over to us (she was new to wearing the backpack for school and no assistance was being given to her). When she fell, rather than immediately help her, her teacher visibly sighed and shrugged before she slowly bent over to help her. I ask the teacher how she did and she said that she cried the whole time. She suggests that I enroll her in some sort of "group play" because she only wants to be with the two adults in the class. I remind her that it's only day 2 and this is new to her. I ask her if she ate her snacks and she said that she doesn't know. They don't watch them eating snacks. THEY DON'T WATCH 3 YEAR OLD CHILDREN EATING SNACKS. Finally, the last straw for me was she made some comment about her being nonverbal. I corrected her and told that she isn't nonverbal, she is shy initially but she talks when she's comfortable. I asked her if she's even looked at her IEP and she ignores me and pretends to talk to my daughter about how she tricked her into thinking she's nonverbal. This was day 2. I pulled her out of that school and enrolled her into a different school. The first day at that school, she cried as I dropped her off. An hour after dropoff, the teacher texted me a picture of my daughter happily playing in the classroom.

We are on our third year here. I have had no complaints about the teachers. However, I would say,…read moreif your child has a disability or special needs--steer clear. The administration will do whatever they can to push your child out instead of providing the services they are legally obligated to provide. It is truly appalling and they should not be working with children.

Anyone who wants to put trust in someone to care for their children, this is it!

I will definitely recommend Candil Hall to all my friends and family!

One year my daughter had 3 different teachers. Each year they seem to have all new teachers and staff is constantly coming and going- other than about half of the teachers who are all related to the owner. The school is family owned which can contribute to a family feel of the school overall. However, if you are not related to the family, personal friends with the family, or volunteer with the school, your child and your family will be outcasted and excluded. Only some kids are invited to play sports. Kids they do not want on their sports teams are not even invited to try out. The principal/owner Mr. Diller regularly yells and swears at the kids. He is demeaning and borderline abusive to the students. Candil Hall also allows bullying and in some cases promotes or praises students who bully. Children who are bullied are not protected by the school. They get no help even when they feel so unsafe they don't want to go to school. Student to student threats are not taken seriously. It's incredibly disappointing the lack of concern and support shown to children at this school. While my child did leave there more advanced academically, she also left there with psychological trauma, fear, distrust of schools and teachers, and overwhelming feelings of confusion because she felt so unsafe in the place that she should feel the safest. I regret ever sending my child to this school and wish I could undo all of the trauma Candil Hall has caused her. Additionally, if you ever have any issues with the teachers, the staff, the family, etc. you will be talked negatively about and they will spread rumors to other parents about you. This school is not worth it, please look elsewhere.

Early intervention is highly important for help with children with special needs so they can succeed later in life. This school is not up to the task to discovering those needs and assisting your child. Right now 1 out of 56 children are autistic. That's not counting any of the other children with additional needs. My daughter did not want to integrate with the preschool classroom. They thought it was purely a behavioral problem. We did everything they asked. She was "super smart" (their words) so they wanted to keep her, but she couldn't handle being with the group. Though she was still listening/learning from afar (again their words) They tried to physically force her resulting in major meltdowns. They ended up kicking her out. They made me feel like a failure of a parent and my child wasn't exactly excited to experience school again after that. With the assistance of CCSD and her doctor she was diagnosed with high functioning autism. She's doing great in a general education classroom and still super smart. My point is pick a school that will help your child no matter what the circumstances. This school isn't going to do that.

As my child finishes his last year at Shenker, I thought it was only appropriate to leave a review…read more Moving to Vegas has been challenging in so many areas. Whether it has to do with education or healthcare (both of which were significantly better in Orange County). I enrolled my child at Shenker after talking to all the parents I would meet at the park in my neighborhood who would sing the school's praises. I am happy to say, Shenker lived up to my expectations. My child does not speak English as his primary language, and I was worried about how that would affect him. Also if I might add, I would get unsolicited comments from other educators concerning my refusal to speak English to my child at home. I am an educator ( I have a Masters in education and another Masters in school counseling) and I knew he would pick up English just as I did. Upon meeting with Dr. Sharon, he agreed with my approach concerning my son learning two languages, and put me at ease. My son has greatly improved academically and socially at Shenker. He is so happy to go to school, and everyone in the front office knows his name, as they do with ALL the students that attend their school. Dr. Sharon has truly been a joy to work with, and I see how much he cares for his staff and for his students at school. He knows every student's name and he works with every family to accommodate their needs. I honestly believe this school's success comes from the top down. I want to thank Shenker and Dr. Sharon for giving me peace of mind in the most important aspect of my life; my child's safety and education. Yours truly, Samvel's mom.

The class was organized, communicative, and I felt so at ease knowing my baby was in their hands. Now he is in the Ducklings with Ms Alyssa and I can't say enough positive things about her and her teaching style. My son has learned so much going to this school even though he has only just turned two, he is counting past 10, reading letters, coming home with new learnings every day. We are excited to continue to watch him grow and develop at Shenker.
