Review for the playground only!…read more Set in the middle of the NA school campus, this is a huge playground, really two huge ones. Loads of different things to do, for all ages. Parking is a bit far away, but there are two big shelters in the middle for parents, with big fans in the ceiling- very cool on a hot day. No shade on the playgrounds themselves, and the shelters are a bit far from the playgrounds, but still handy. Baby K had a blast. Lots of new equipment, many things to spark the imagination.

Central College Preschool has been the very best decision that my family has made in terms of…read moreproviding an educational foundation for my child. My child completed their preschool experience with strong pre-academic and spiritual foundations. The administrative staff, preschool teachers, specials teachers (e.g., Spanish, P.E. instructors), and aftercare teachers are top notch. My child attended full day preschool as a 3-year-old and again as a 4-year-old. We were so impressed that we had no qualms about continuing enrollment in kindergarten at Central College Christion School. The preschool team is kind, courteous, and conscientious. The director and program coordinator have an open-door policy and welcome parent collaboration. There are many parent volunteer activities, as well as school-sponsored events during evening and weekend hours to give working parents an opportunity to be a part of the preschool community. At Central College Preschool, diversity is celebrated, and it was reassuring to see students and staff from diverse backgrounds represented. Central College Preschool (and the elementary school) is a gem! It is so much more than a school; it's a family.

Oh how I loved Indianola... thank god my parents were progressive enough to realize that not all…read morekindergartners were meant to sit in rows of desks! Indianola is an alternative school that allows kids to be kids - you start each day on the "carpet" as a group and then go to work stations around the classroom depending on what you want to pursue. Age groups are mixed, diversity is omnipresent and creativity ensues! I was mapping constellations in 3rd grade and did a project on Kwanzaa in 4th... not your run-of-the-mill elementary school experience. And try finding a better school motto than "friends are like rainbows." Can I go back to school here now? Please?

Only a few benches for tired adults, but that's the norm at schools. Beautifully kept grounds and equipment. Parking is not very close. Baby K loved it and we will be back.
