Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I am extremely happy with this school and the teachers and staff that run it. Everyone has been such a pleasure. I am met with a smile every time I walk in the door. This group of people really enjoy what they do and those are the people you want teaching and caring for your children. I trust that when I drop my child off each morning for preschool that he is being cared for with love and kindness and that he learning! He is thriving! I am amazed at his progress. Mrs. Crowe and Mrs. Merziotis have been an absolute blessing. I love that the kids go to chapel each day and the Bible stories they are learning each week. I am also so excited that this school has kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade! GVLS also offers morning care and after care. As a working parent this makes my life so much easier and less stressful trying to make it out of work to pick up on time. Mrs. Redmond is a joy! Mrs. Mancuso is so helpful and always has a smile on her face! Thank you GVL for being such a blessing in our lives. You are all the best and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you! read more

We LOVE Green Valley Lutheran! We signed up our daughter last year as a newly 3 yr old (September bday). We are now in year two and she attends 3 days a week in the 3/4yr old pre-k class and loves it! She asks to go every day! She has learned so much in both Ms. b's class last year and this year with Ms. Redmond. She has the Lord's Prayer memorized and tells us all about the Bible stories she learns about every week! The school is safe, the tuition is manageable, and the staff is so friendly. I recommend this to anyone needing childcare while wanting your child to also have an understanding of the Bible and how God is so great! read more

Amazing staff and school! This is our second year here and we love everyone. My daughter has a hard time at drop off and they help comfort her always! Thanks to the amazing staff for the communication and endless amounts of fun my kiddos have! read more

This school is a hidden gem in the heart of Green Valley. We have been here for 4 years now and every year gets better. If you are interested in private school at a fraction of the cost of other private schools, you've found that choice! The teachers and staff nurture all of the kids at a developmentally appropriate rate, and my kids are thriving here. Bonus- there are super fun events throughout the school year! read more

I can't begin to explain how much I love everyone there and appreciate them! One of my babies went there for 2 years and now our little one started because I couldn't imagine him going anywhere else but there! Everyone is so sweet, helpful, caring and loving! They are so caring for the kids and genuinely love the kids! They take care of them like they are their own. I trust them with everything and can't speak highly enough of them! Recommend!!! Especially to parents who are worried and get nervous about not just anyone taking care of their kids. My boys were/ are always excited to go! You won't be disappointed! read more

Both of our girls have attended preschool and elementary school at Green Valley Lutheran School (GVLS). I whole heartedly recommend this to everyone. The amazing combination of excellent quality education with an intentional sense of community that gives GVLS their niche. The kids look forward to going to school and extra school events. They love and respect everyone in the community. GVLS has laid a solid ) for our children's future, especially how GVLS has given them a love of learning. I am looking forward to seeing what the lives they will grow into. read more

We feel extremely lucky to have our children attend GVL. Every member of the staff is beyond amazing. There aren't accurate words to depict what it's like as a parent to completely trust and love the place you send your kids to. I absolutely love the school and community that they have created. read more

I have had kids at this school since 2018. It is a local gem! My kids feel confidence and belonging. This school creates such a safe space for children and parents. The learning is creative and fun. So much of early education in public school I found to feel forced and repetitive. At Green Valley Lutheran my daughter thrives with a more joyful approach to learning with plenty of positive reinforcement. They offer a short class that not only provides a picture of the religious teaching the children will receive, but it also lowers the tuition. My husband (an atheist with no exposure to religion) was initially unsure about our youngest attending the school. He now wants to keep her there as long as possible. He sees how the school is helping her to grow academically and nurturing her self esteem, confidence, and kindness. I cannot say enough good things about this school. read more

Our family absolutely loves GVLS! We have been at this school for 4 years and my kids have been so happy and love to learn. We love that it is a place our kids can be kids! The teachers really take the time to meet my kids where they are at with their personal learning, they get longer recess then other schools, the specials give them extra hands on skills and something extra fun to look forward to in their schedule each day, they enjoy daily chapel, and the community is very kind and warm. read more

We moved our son here from another larger school in town and have been more than happy with that decision! We had some hesitations of course, but our son has adjusted better than we could have imagined. The staff is caring/kind/involved and for us the most important thing....CONSISTENT! It makes school days so much easier for your PreK kiddo. read more

My daughter has been going here for over a year now. This is her second year enrolled. I love it and she loves it. The teachers are awesome, the admin staff is wonderful and the aftercare team is amazing. read more

Our daughter has been going to this school for three years now. She started in Pre-school. As someone who grew up in a small town, I love this school because it gives us the small town community feel while being in the city. The teachers are excellent and the spiritual aspect of the school is just what we were looking for! read more

Green Valley Lutheran has been such a blessing to my Family. My daughter has been coming to this school for 3 years now, and she has learned so much academically as well as socially.

This is an amazing school with amazing teachers! My grand-babies love it here and would recommend this school to anyone looking.

We love this school. Our daughter just started this year and it has been a great experience. Highly recommend

I cannot recommend this INCREDIBLE school enough! I have always been impressed with the amazing teachers and staff who offer an exceptional learning environment that not only nurtures where my children are at developmentally but encourages to them to excel without excessive homework. As parents, we have opportunities to get involved/volunteer and feel like we are part of a community. My background includes 16 years as a pediatric therapist, including 3 as a doctoral professor in child development. read more

The teachers here are SO caring, you can definitely tell they do this job because they love it so much. Everyone who works at GVLS always has a smile on their face and willing to help with anything! We love it here! read more

we love this school and staff is awesome and so loving and engaged with the kids. they make it a very welcoming and fun environment to learn and put parents at ease! read more

There aren't enough words to describe how kind and caring all members of this school are. My daughter's teacher, Mrs. Heiny, has been so amazing to my daughter. She has taught her so much, it is so exciting to see how she loves to learn and excited she is to be in school. Mrs. Revis and Mrs. Mancuso are also truly kind and generous. My family has been struggling over the past year and they continue to provide support in so many ways. I cannot wait to send my son to this school and watch both of my kids grow, learn and transform into amazing little people, all thanks to this school. Thank you, Green Valley Lutheran. You are truly appreciated. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this school, from the amazing teachers to the small class sizes my daughter does wonderful and receives a very personalized education. She is loved and nurtured and gains so much confidence here! We love GVL and are blessed to be apart of the school. read more

GVLS is amazing! I spent 10+ years working at and being a parent of a nearby "high-end" private preschool, and I only wish I would have found this place sooner. There simply are not enough great things to say about this school. Their staff is so friendly, warm and kind. There is no "corporate vibe" whatsoever. While we are not of the same Lutheran faith (different Christian denomination), my family feels truly welcomed and cared for by the teachers and administrators here. We have felt like part of their community. My daughter has grown exponentially in her development, and I could not be more pleased. We are looking forward to sending our youngest to GVLS in a few years, as well. read more

This is the best school in the Las Vegas, Henderson area bar none. If you want your children in a great program bring them here. The four year old program will put your kids miles ahead of the other kids when they get to Kindergarten. You will love it and your children will too. read more

Finally a school we love! Thank you for restoring our hope in schools here in Henderson. We've been to 5 different preschools and GV Lutheran is by far the best! read more

We love this school with all our hearts! A good friend referred us to GVL, and we are ever so grateful she did!! Our three children attended all the way through kindergarten. GVL is the most loving, safe, nurturing preschool there is! The staff doesn't have much turnover. In fact, the only time it changes is when someone retires. It always ends up being someone with deep connections to the preschool who takes over, meaning they are well invested in the program. In addition to everything else, our children have been in the tops of their classes with the strong educational foundation they helped us build for our children. Worth every penny and the some!! Every person we have referred to GVL has had the same feelings we do for it! read more

What I would tell a new parent bringing their child to GVELPK as of May 2018. (It is under new leadership this year) 1. Ask to see the teaching credentials of all of the persons/teachers who will be in the classroom at any given time. You will be surprised at who literally has no college degree/certificate but a lot of charisma/the right relative and has been promoted for the latter. 2. Ask your child questions. Did your teacher make you feel special today? Did they get angry today? 3. Ask to see the policy regarding visitors or volunteers, in writing. Often the atmosphere is so "relaxed" that you will find random persons watching your children or just randomly in the classroom for no academic or religious reason. Speak up and assert your rights to know what is going on when you leave your child at GVELPK. 4. Try to volunteer at least once per semester. Not only will your child love you for it, you will be learn a great deal about the peer relationships at school. 5. Don't be afraid to give positive or negative feedback to the director or teacher. An effective director and or teacher will take your feedback and quietly and effectively address your concerns, in person. Too often the director will overcompensate with their teachers with the "I've got your back," strategy of management, which doesn't allow the root cause of the conflict to be resolved and just protects the weaker teachers. 6. Meet with the pastors. Get to know them. Management starts from the top down. 7. Meet and network with your classroom parents and appoint an unofficial "leader" who is unafraid to ask questions or express concerns, when you do not have the courage to do so. Often parents have very valid reasons for not bringing up the smallest of issues due to their particular circumstance. 8. Not all of the classes provide the same quality of education due to the quality of the instructor. Ask other parents whom they would recommend as a teacher for your child. Ask a parent who has had difficulties their opinion. Parents just know the truth of the matter and can tell you directly who is an effective teacher and who isn't. 9. Check in with your child. Make sure they are not only progressing developmentally but academically and with their religious studies. Too often one is overemphasized than the other and you will have a student who can memorize a verse but doesn't keep up with their peers, academically. 10. Remember you have choices in Henderson. Just like in life, there are people in all professions who put the gas on the pedal and people who coast in their jobs. Most people want a quality instructor who will not give up on their students, academically. Too often as parents, we are too tired to raise our concerns or just pick our battles very carefully with the best possible predictive outcome (i.e. no drama). Most facilities, are counting on you to not speak up. read more

Friendly, but in truth not academically sound. Staff do not cater to individual student, listen to the concerns of parents, and openly critique young children and label them. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this school. I toured close to 20 schools before picking a preschool for my daughter (YES, I am THAT mom). and the second I walked in to this school I was sold, after about 5 minutes of being there. The staff, the energy, the positive influence of Christ is so preeminent throughout the entire school. I enrolled my child right away. My daughter is very shy, closed off, and sensitive, but sooo smart beyond her years. This was the perfect place to nurture all the strengths and help overcome any weaknesses. I cannot express enough gratitude for the entire school, and all the staff/teachers. I drive 30 minutes out of my commute each way to drop my daughter off to school and its worth every mile. It is so true when they say i t takes a Village to raise a child, and I am so thankful for this village. In the words of my almost 4 year old "School is the best in the ever world, and I love my teachers more than all the star in the sky". read more
