My son truly enjoyed his time at Covenant Schools.

I loved watching his testament, knowledge and love for Christ grow through their curriculum. There was an incident that occurred involving another child (I won't go into details), but I do feel the staff handled everything very appropriately and professionally, keeping us involved and in the loop the entire time. We will miss Covenant and the amazing staff. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

There's so many random people that sub in for teachers constantly, I (one time) picked up my daughter a little later than usual (4:30 pm) and she was in a completely different class with a completely different lady and my daughter was in tears.

Please read. Writing this as a concerned parent. Our sons…read morewere at the learning experience for quite some time. And we initially really liked the center. Our son's first year teachers were amazing. But then thing started going down hill. It all happened starting a year ago (January 9, 2025 to be exact) our son's teacher was dealing with personal life problems so she was not able to be there for a week, and that meant other teachers were coming in the class to take over while she was gone. One in which was there most often. My son was scared to go to school because he told me how this teacher was being mean to the kids (grabbing them by the collar of there shirt aggressively and rag dolling them around) I asked him to point her out to me who she was and he did even referring to her as "mean teacher". I went to the director (Monica) and assistant director (Amber at the time) addressing my concerns. And even after talking to other parents and the main teacher in the class multiple kids were scared as well. Even after coming to them that teacher was still there! However, they told me they would move him up if this continued. His main teacher came back and nothing happened, so we didn't have to worry about it anymore. We always felt accommodated when going up to the director as she had moved us up early when we came to her with a concern. Keep in mind all she ever did was move us up. Im not sure if any of these concerns were actually even taken care of addressed to the teacher. A year passed and he was put into Preschool 1 that "mean teacher" was back and this other teacher was in the class with her (they seemed to be best friends). My son again started coming to me really sad and scared that his teachers were being mean to him again. He even showed me red finger print marks on his arm just above his elbow. He went on to tell me that teacher was grabbing them and rag dolling them again. I asked him why? And he said "because I wasn't listening". Although I do understand how hard it is to get kids under control. NO ONE NOT EVEN MYSELF will ever leave marks on MY son's arm. I asked him again to show me who it was and he pointed at the other teacher! But this time he hid behind me before even pointing at her so I knew he was scared. So not only did one of them do this prior now the other one was doing it too. We reported our incident to Monica (the director) in which was handled very unprofessional. She literally LAUGHED at our concern and told us that "that was her most structured class". Also adding that we never had the conversation to her about our concerns before (the one on January 9, 2025) We did not feel comfortable taking our kids to this school anymore. And I personally had to drop out of my college classes and quit my job so I could stay home with my sons as this no longer felt like a safe school to keep them in. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

When I…read moreaddressed it with the director, she just told me that they should've wrote a report, but they had "documented it". Never informing me or my husband about these bruises. As a parent that was a huge red flag to me, I had also taken pictures of it as soon as we noticed them, which was the date of each bruise . After the second one something didn't feel right, considering again it was in the same exact spot and the same exact long line shape. I never received an apology or an explanation as to why my daughter received these bruise on her back thigh near her bottom. For the safety of your kids, I would not recommend bringing them here!

We love, love, love this school! As soon as we arrived for our tour, we could just feel it was the…read moreright fit for our 2 and 4 year old. This lovely building and playground is nestled right up against the fields off Montaño Rd, behind the church and set away from the busy traffic. The outdoor play area is spacious and has a lot of variety - staff told us it was just newly remodeled before this school year started. The classroom is big, bright, open, and beautiful! They have so many play-directed, exploratory learning activities and stations - the learning/teaching method is absolutely ideal. They even have a quiet space for kiddos who need a break from stimulation where they can quietly spend some time alone if needed; I thought that was an incredibly thoughtful and empathetic way to support children who may be more shy or have social anxieties. My kids absolutely love this school- their peers and their teachers. This was our third try, looking for the right fit for our son. We feel so lucky and blessed that they had space for us this year. This is my daughter's first year in preschool and it is so wonderful knowing that the class structure encourages mixed-age grouping and integration- for big chunks of the day, the younger kids can freely interact and engage with the older kids - which is proven to support healthy development:) then in other parts of the day, they break off into similar age groups for planned curriculum to teach to their specific levels/needs. Child to teacher ratio is low, so individual needs and attention are easily met, and everyone builds stronger relationships. We have felt a part of a real community here, not just passing through. Every staff member is warm and kind, and makes effort to engage us as parents in a meaningful way. I highly recommend anyone with preschool age children to take a tour, meet the staff and decide for yourself. They fill up fast, and you might get on a waiting list- but it's worth the effort to know you have found one of the best schools in the city to care for and educate your little ones.

I loved the fact that KUCI actually has a curriculum (all play and activity based) and they always have events going on to stimulate the children like petting zoos, growing butterflies, science fairs and more! The teachers and staff are loving and patient, and this school definitely attracts good families.

My children have attended the school for several years and I am very happy with the academics and…read moreChristian Values that the school offers. It is not a large school with a maximum of 12 students per class, which I find to be amazing. The teachers are able to give students more attention which helps establish positive relationships and build trust in the classroom. There is also a lot of parental involvement and lots of fun activities that the school offers through PTFC. If you want a small Christian school that has sports, fellowship with families and high academic standards I highly recommend this school.

Safety is definitely a issue with this school. My student slipped & hit his head & was sent back to…read moreclass. We were not notified of this accident until my son started throwing up & when I got the call the secretary told me he had a stomach ache & was throwing up. They were trying to hide the fact that he had a concussion. Head injuries are very serious! When we spoke to the principal about this her response was "he's an athlete. So we didn't think twice about". Another injury happened, where he sliced his palm open with a pencil & again no call was made! I found out when I picked up from school & was told they couldn't touch the wound & had him rinse his hand with water. If there would've been a call (like any other school does when there is a injury) I would've left work to bring him supplies to properly clean the wound. The staff there is super rude, there is maybe 5 teachers that are friendly. The secretary/athletic director has no sense in how to run the athletic program & safety again is a issue when she let's first graders play in sports with 4th graders. She will just glare at you & won't speak & that's how majority of the staff is. The second grade teacher Ms Hamby is awful! She has no control over her class, she will not communicate with parents & if your child isn't a staff members child she will definitely have it out for your child. They continue to raise tuition every year but nothing changes, the lunch program continues to get more expensive but the servings are smaller, the one thing I have noticed is parents become "teachers" & they will either get free tuition or drastically reduced so that to me explains why they continue to raise tuition. Who knows if these parents have teachers degrees/certifications, my son's computer "teacher" had them watch videos on how to make PB&J sandwiches, that's not computer class to me. You pay alot to send your child to a private school & to have the staff not care about safety & also just the straight up rudeness from them especially since they preach about Christianity & kindness it's not ok. I would not recommend this school, one star given simply because he was learning about God

This USED to be the most wonderful day care before Ms. Renee got sick and had to leave…read more The new Director Linda is an absolute joke. She is hardly ever in the office, and almost impossible to get a hold of to conduct business with. No members of the staff respect her- and this lack of respect aides in the unhappiness atmosphere of this day care. Although the kitchen staff is quite friendly- none of the food your child will be eating is flavorful or nutritious. Much of it is plastic wrapped pancakes, burritos and I have even seen reheated pizza for breakfast the next day. We ultimately left the day care after our child began having melt downs in the morning's when left with a specific teacher. Another child in the same class was so afraid of "said teacher" that she would wet herself when her mother tried to leave her. Needless to say, they no longer attend little Sunbeams either. Save yourself and your child a ton of frustrations and heartache by choosing another daycare!! And to the daycare board- I hope that you can re-create the loving healthy atmosphere Ms. Renee brought to the daycare, by bringing in a new director.

I am so happy that we have a home at Little Sunbeams. We have made great relationships with the other families and the teachers. At each step of his development I can easily say that he was/is in a safe, age-appropriate, caring and inviting place for hands-on-learning and growth. He loves to go to school (Little Sunbeams) and has a variety of friends from Chef John, Brennan in the morning, the Dance teacher on Thursday, Tracey B, Pastor Greg and the Scott in Tuesday chapel, all the teachers, and of course his classmates - all who help form this rich environment. In the past 4 years the center has had changes in staff, as do all business, but I can honestly say that every person who has contact with us or with my son truly has his and our best interest at heart. Renee, the Director, and various teachers throughout our tenure have visited with us to be sure that we are all on the same page. If it is working together on potty training, sitting still in circle time, or how to encourage writing/fine motor skills or it is important that we are all working together for our children's development. Bumps, bruises and spills are inevitable and my experience has been that the staff err on the side of caution and often phone to ensure that a parent is properly notified of anything out of the norm while immediately tending to the child. There is always a written form documenting the incident. We have brought various concerns - either about something with my child or policies at the center- to Renee and/or to our teacher and have felt that we are heard and that we are working together to help my child be both a good little person and developmentally sound. Praise and love are apparent everywhere, but I also appreciate the boundaries and consequences when they are needed. We just received our acceptance letter from Manzano Day School for Kindergarten next year and are sad to be leaving Little Sunbeams in August, but very excited to know that he will be well-prepared for his next chapter in life.
