This is Walker Elementary School for those who do not know. They offer kindergarten to sixth grade…read more I went here in the 80's and at the time Mr. Cumber was the principle at that time. Both of my sisters who are older than I am went here as well. This is a older school, but a good one. Hopefully, times have changed, as back then they did not have special programs for kids with ADD/ADHD and put everyone into the same category. The playground here is extremely old, that should be remodeled. They had really good teachers back in the days, ones that worked here for 20-30 years. My kindergarten teacher was Mrs Carrnot, or something like that. She was probably almost 60. My 1st grade teacher was Mrs Rice and my 5th was Mary Elm. She pasted away last year and worked at the school for probably 35 years. She was amazing. The lunch program here was really good. After I left and went to middle school, school lunch was a joke. Wow, I recall the blue milk tickets sold her at the book store for 5 cents. During the summer they have the walker school rummage sale, which is a cool event where locals sell goods on the school playground lot.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about CPS! My son is four years old and has been in the…read morepreschool class here since fall. He absolutely loves it, and has been thriving. His teachers, Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Babcock are so sweet, always planning fun activities and supporting kids' learning at the stage their in. Over all it's play-based preschool program helping littles learn independence, social skills, and cooperation. Oh and it's' a co-op, meaning there is always one additional 'adult' in the room. They rotate between kids in class for their own 'special person days,' and on that day they bring along a parent/adult. I've really enjoyed my time participating in that and seeing first hand how the classroom flows. It really just gives parents the opportunity to be involved in their child's first school experience! They have great resources, like the parent portal and monthly newsletter, great fundraisers you can participate in, and off-site gatherings where families can get to know each other more. We started our son at the preschool level, but they do offer toddler classes as well. 10/10 recommend!

We've had an amazing experience at Community Preschool. The biggest thing that drew us to the…read moreschool was the teachers. The teachers at Community have been there for years and come from strong teaching backgrounds, which was really important to us when choosing a preschool. We've had such a wonderful experience with my daughter's teachers, and she genuinely loves going to school each day. I also really value the opportunity for parents to be involved in the classroom because it has given me a clear window into what her experience is like each day. We truly couldn't feel more positive about our experience at Community Preschool.

The issues I have fall in three main camps…read more 1- Communication! If you tell one staff member something, it doesn't mean they're going to write it down or share it with others. I spent so much time informing various staff about different things for my daughters care and would still get a call from the owner asking questions. At one point, surrounding the issue of why we were basically asked to leave, the owner Mary Lynn even told me that I should have called her back not her staff because as a childcare facility they do not have time to always be checking in with each other so if you talk to one staff member you need to follow up with that same person. But when I called during my workday her daughter was available and I spoke with her and she said she would relay that information to the rest of the staff. It is a huge red flag to me that they can't communicate, and I have examples of this over three or four instances. 2-Vaccine policies. To their credit, in their policies they are up front with the fact that, the owner specifically, does not agree with the vaccine schedule for children. The policies ask parents to be informed about vaccines, and they say if you choose to vaccinate that they have policies they ask you to follow. For example after regular vaccines your child cannot be at school for one whole day, for the flu vaccine they need to be out for a week. We knew this going into it, and I was OK with it because I can respect their stance however as a paying customer I expect them to respect my stance. About a mouth in my daughter had a small mark on her thigh, that was not bothering her was not infected or anything. I got a call in the middle of the day during my work to ask if my daughter had gotten a vaccine that I had not reported because of this mark. I was reminded to always be honest when she get vaccines and update the form. I said I know and that she is not due for vaccines until her one year appointment and that I would update at that time. Then when she did get her vaccines I made a second appointment to accommodate their policy, I informed three separate teachers that I made a separate appointment and my daughter was out for three days. I brought the filled out medical form on the day she returned. And I still got a call from the owner confirming the vaccines. Anytime she was acting tired, or when she had a blowout the owner said "this could be from her vaccines last week". It got very old very quickly. I'm sure some parents lie or don't turn in forms etc, but I never showed any signs of this yet I was still treated like a liar. I believe they do not want vaccinated children in their center and that they will find issues until you leave. 3. Meal plan. Their meal plan is very sad. Almost no protein, oatmeal twice a week at least for lunch and lots of jelly sandwiches. The other issue is they have a morning snack at 8:30 and lunch at 10:30. So if your child eats breakfast around say 7am- by 11am they've had three meals basically. The issue that caused us to leave is the owner believed our 1 yr old pooped too much. Mary thought milk was the issue- I wanted to time to explore, talk to a pediatrician because I didn't notice excess pooping when she was with us or with my our other childcare. We couldn't agree on a plan so we ended up leaving. Three or four days not being on the meal plan and eating so much my daughter's stools went back to her norm. I would not recommend this daycare based on my experience and though the teachers do seem great and the children are well cared for, my experience was less than positive.

The teachers give plenty of love and attention and I always know that she is safe. If I have any concerns, the director is always available to take my calls or text messages.

Lilly has learned so many new skills and I feel that she is very prepared for school. I highly recommend Renaissance Child Development Center.
