Ms. Lisa is worth her wait in gold! When my (at the time) kindergartener was struggling with his…read morereading, and hating every second of learning his sight words, we enrolled him with Ms Lisa. Within a short period of time he was advancing through the reading stages. And the absolute best part is he was loving it! Now my 3 year old enjoys classes and camps with her also and she's quite the little book worm. The classroom is warm and inviting and she tailors each class to what they're needing each time. We've been coming here for 3 years and while my son is a much stronger reader and doesn't need that help as much, his handwriting is not great and she helps him a lot with that too. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. My hope has always been that my children grow up loving to read as much as me and they're both well on their way thanks to Ms Lisa and her business! It goes without saying, I recommend Ballantyne Reading Academy to all my friends!

My kids range from beginner reader, enrichment to remedial support and their work is always tailored to their individual needs. I appreciate the peace of mind this provides knowing the girls are in great hands and their lessons are thoughtfully prepared for and always organized. If you're looking for reading tutoring or just feeding a hungry mind - don't hesitate.

Hello friends,…read more Really good school. Not a majority anything, nice and diverse. I like that and was a big reason we chose this school. The children are surrounded by different cultures, ethnicities, races etc. My children have gone here since 1st grade. My son has moved onto the 6th grade so lil sister is still here. The ladies in the front office are very nice and helpful. Beware. If you shouldn't be there or look outta place... They will be on your head & I love it. PARKING can b a bit tricky at peak times. Overflow DURING school can be done in the bus parking lot. The office is in the entrance. Very clean office. Hallways. Cafeteria. I visit my lil lady often (for lunch or classroom visit..... Unannounced) and always see custodians wiping and sweeping. When school is out, it will Always be a pick up line onto Monroe Rd. a few teachers will be out to assist. When you're Almost there they will ask you the child's name Walkie Talkie to another teacher in which will get your child up and ready for pick up!! An off duty officer will be out to hold traffic for cars comming in & out!! They are/has been CMS School of Excellence!! TTFN

Truly disappointed that Lisa the owner cares about the business but not about the well being of the kids. We had to unenrolled our son due to back to back incidents with the teachers . Despite the multiple complaints and opportunities that we gave the school they still didn't want to work with us with the unenrolling fee. We were forced to take our son out after many issues and he stating the he didn't want to be in the school anymore. Lisa deleted and added messages in the parents app as she pleased so the rude messages from the teachers will not appear. He was moved to his old class where he felt safe, but this was done after multiple incidents and we lost the trust in the school. One of the teachers in the afternoon class was rude to me and told me to lower my voice , and be quiet when I was telling my son to roll his mat to come outside. As an adult, the tone made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was being reprimanded. I can only imagine how a kid will feel if that teacher is talking to them in the same way she did to me. Lisa decided not to work with us and charge the full upcoming month just because we saw it is not safe for our son anymore. How can we keep our son in that environment? Will definitely raise this with best business bureau. Parents be aware the employee turnover is high and that says a lot!

There are worse schools and there are better schools. We did not have a good experience and left…read moreafter two months. My toddler was unhappy and stressed there, did not like his main teacher, and would complain about her yelling and another child hitting him. When I brought that up to the teacher she said that she was not aware of him having been hit and that he should tell her if someone hits him. The last time I brought my child in I saw the boy pick on him and the teacher was not paying attention. And I myself have heard the teacher raising her voice on a couple of occasions. When we left, no one seemed to care. There was a conversation about him finishing off his last few weeks in a different classroom which went unanswered. We had previously experienced a preschool with admin and teachers that were warm and personable and took an interest in each student individually, but switched due to scheduling needs. This school was not like that. He learned, but this was not a warm, caring environment towards the students or parents, so we're putting him back in his old preschool. To be fair, I did like Ms. Margo in admin and my child's favorite teacher was Ms. Lana who is the enrichment teacher.
