I absolutely love this school. The sports program is great, and my daughter has made such amazing friends while attending here. The teachers and staff are kind, supportive, and genuinely care about each child, creating a loving, faith-centered community we're so grateful to be part of. read more

I want to start by saying this daycare seemed very promising, but after five months with our daughter, we lost confidence in the care she was receiving. One of the first concerns happened when I picked her up and was told she had a diaper rash. The staff said Aquaphor wasn't working, so they used one of their own sprays instead. My response was, "Why aren't you using the Desitin we provided, clearly labeled with her name and accompanied by a doctor's note instructing you to use it?" They apologized and assured us they would use it going forward. This immediately raised concerns about attention to care, especially since diaper products should never be shared between children due to the risk of spreading illnesses like Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD). On June 18, after a week at home with us, we dropped our daughter off and informed staff she had drool bumps on her chin because she was cutting two teeth at once. Later that day, we received a call saying she had a temperature of 99.4°F and was being sent home for suspected HFMD because she supposedly had bumps around her mouth, in her mouth, and in her diaper area. The "bumps" around her mouth were the same drool rash we had pointed out that morning, and they nearly disappeared after simply wiping her chin dry. She had no bumps in her diaper area and no mouth lesions. The next morning, her pediatrician examined her, laughed at the assessment, said she had absolutely no signs of HFMD, and cleared her to return. We met with the Director and Assistant Director to explain what happened. The Assistant Director admitted she hadn't been told about the drool rash or teething before making the assessment. We also brought up the earlier diaper cream incident and explained how concerning it was that our daughter's prescribed cream wasn't being used while they were quick to send children home over concerns about HFMD. We were assured these issues would be addressed. Then, in July, our daughter actually contracted HFMD. She had the classic symptoms: fever followed by lesions around her mouth, in her mouth, and on her hands and feet. We kept her home through her recovery, and once her pediatrician confirmed she was no longer contagious, we received another signed clearance note allowing her to return. The doctor also prescribed antibiotics for a mild ear infection, and we informed the daycare that the antibiotics could cause loose stools and diaper rash, asking them to apply her diaper cream accordingly. The first day back went well. However, the following morning, just one hour after dropping her off, I received another call telling me she was being sent home for suspected HFMD. They pointed to healed red marks under her chin from the previous infection, a small red mark on her finger that she's had since birth, and claimed her diaper area would "shock" me. When I got home and checked, she simply had a diaper rash from the antibiotic-related loose stools. There were no blisters, lesions, or signs of HFMD. Even more concerning, there was absolutely no evidence that her prescribed Desitin had been applied despite the daycare describing the rash as severe. Anyone who uses Desitin knows it leaves a visible white residue, and there was none. We took her back to the pediatrician, who again confirmed she had no signs of HFMD and again questioned whether the daycare was confusing her with another child. At that point, we decided to withdraw our daughter. As I packed up her belongings, one of the workers ran over laughing and said, "Can't forget this!" while handing me the nearly full tube of diaper cream. After five months, it looked like it had only been used a couple of times, despite multiple conversations, a doctor's note, and repeated reminders. I can't speak to the rest of the school, but our experience in the Angel's classroom left us extremely disappointed. We experienced repeated misdiagnoses that resulted in unnecessary doctor visits and missed work, along with repeated failures to follow a simple doctor's order to use our daughter's assigned diaper cream. For us, those issues reflected a lack of attention to detail and consistency that we simply could not overlook. read more

If I could put a zero I would. I would strongly suggest you checking with a Child Psychologist before putting your child in this school. ( Kindergarten through 12th grade) Their grading policy for a Kindergartener, is considered child abuse for a 5-6 year old. I have a back ground in Child Development as well as have many peers who have degrees in Child Psychology. Having a Kindergartener sit at a table and do hours of homework, due to missing days, and dropping a letter grade for each day missed is mentally damaging to this age group. They have ZERO compassion and are allllll about academics whether it is damaging to a child's psyche or not. I was appalled and flabbergasted at their reasoning. All of my children have attended a private school as well as myself. I have NEVER EVER seen such outlandish requirements for a 5 year old. I was livid when I found out that my granddaughter had to sit and finish her worksheet while watching her peers have play time. Play is a very important part of child development, at this age. It broke my heart when I heard her say "my work was a little tricky and it made me sad that I couldn't play with my friends". Mind you my granddaughter at age 3 knew the life cycle of a butterfly and designs "pulley systems" (her words) and her vocabulary is that of a 12 year old. They do not want to nurture a child's God given gifts, but mandate that every 5 year old climbs a tree whether is a monkey, penguin, lion or giraffe. Granted at about age 8 children do "even out" and are all in about the same playing field. At age 5 this is ludicrous to demand. Again, I would highly consider looking over all of their policies and reading up on child development and even seeking guidance from a professional before placing your child in this school. ----- Their go to will be... "I am sorry this wasn't a good fit for your child". It is not a good fit for any young child. Do your research. read more

GV Christian School is amazing! There's a strong emphasis on character development, academics, and Christianity. Highly recommend!

Excellent teachers. They really care about your kids. Staff are all after God's heart.

Absolutely love GVCS and can't wait for our youngest to return for the kinder prep program. They definitely setup our 7 year old for academic success and we couldn't be more proud. So thankful for this school! read more

Miss Maria lost $17K. Miss Maria from the front office is VERY RUDE. I called to inquire about their school and ask questions not answered from their website. I got: A repeated script with no understanding, courtesy, or polite invitation to meet. I asked: Can tuition be broken down in 9 month payments like the school year. I got: NO!! You can pay the whole thing or 12 month installments. That's how it is. I asked: Can we pay more each month.... I got: Cut off with attitude. No! You can pay the whole thing or 12 months... I say: You are being a bit rude to a parent with 2 kids to possibly enroll. I got: Cut off again. Would you like to talk to someone else? Then she hangs up. Some Christian. If this is the face of your school you might want to re-teach Miss Maria how to communicate with adults because she just lost you $17k in 5 min read more

I have been here for a few years now and the experience has been terrible, there are almost no class options, it is way too expensive, most teachers are not qualified to teach their subjects, there is way more students in each class than they said(around 25 students), they send us out in 110 degrees without shade, and the students of the administration get away with anything they want. Most of the teachers don't know anything about mental health for their students. read more

We absolutely love this school and can't believe we didn't know of it sooner. We have lived here for 5 years and received orders to move this summer. Our children have been attending the daycare on Air Force base since they were infants and were learning nothing to prepare them for elementary school. In just a few short months, this school and it's amazing staff have brought my son up to speed and we are so relieved and thankful that he is more prepared and mostly that he loves school! This made us enroll our 3 year old as well. We really love the entire curriculum to include chapel and will greatly miss this school. read more

I must say I've had my daughter in Gv Christian for 2 1/2 years and it warms my heart knowing she prays before meals, Learns about Jesus, and remains that sweet child which matters to me the most. The teachers care and provide a loving environment everyday as she advances in good manners, computer classes at the age of 4 years old and even extra activities such as planting things, and many other things! I couldn't be happier I even receive pictures of my daughter throughout the activities she participates in. read more

GV Christian School - Preschools Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

This place is absolutely terrible. Teachers have no control over the classroom, my kid was punched and bullied and the teachers "never saw anything". Their punishment system is grossly unfair and non existent. My kid was sent home for having been "redirected three times" and he was expelled for two days for "pulling his pants down". I started running out of sick days for because of their crap. Plus Hes three years old, doesn't know any better. And the kids figure out the yellow card system too, so they will make fun of your child if they see him get a yellow card. Its such a terrible way to run a preschool. I came to pick him up one after noon and he was standing in the corner, which is not even close to what we had discussed with them about correcting behavior. This place is not christian, its very very far from christian. The non chrisitian school were attending now is light years better than this place, plus you dont have to pay a second mortgage. Run far, far away from this place, you ll be lucky if your child makes it through the year due to their inept teachers. Theyll then say this place isnt a good fit for you, it not really a good fit for anyone at the way they run this place. Go to Star Academy, its much better place and they have a far better control over the children. It also half the price of this place too, cant beat $500 a month and they feed your kids lunch, this place doesnt. All they care about is making money and not your children. Also want to point out all the five star reviews of how fantastic the place is by Someone with a name like Christi B. is a fake account created by the staff to offset the negative reviews. That's how organizations try to offset all the mad customers read more

Fantastic Christian education, a Christ following school and church, I highly recommend them and would suggest you stop by and meet the teachers and staff !! read more

My 2 children at GVCS are thriving! We started there when we realized CCSD would not be going to school in fall 2020, and after having an amazing and safe summer camp experience, we enrolled our 1st and 3rd grader. What a blessing! And after watching how an education is supposed to look like, we are never leaving! Our upcoming kindergartener is so excited to start with his big brothers next year, and then one more in a couple more years. If you want your kids to be loved, properly educated, in a non pretentious, diverse, and high academic environment, this is the school for you! read more

I would like for you to forward this message along the way in hopes that it will inspire the right people to better this situation for all of the students and staff there. I would like to say the school has a great location and had wanted my daughter to attend there all the way though high school. Along the way that shes been there since 1 years old I have notice some issues that I'm no longer willing to condone. She had been sent home on multiple occasions due to behavior, at first being a new parent I tried to see reason in this and it was very frustrating and inconvenient to have to find alternative care when I'm already paying for it. After changing class rooms 3 times to try and find her a better "match" I realized the issue with the daycare/ business wasn't just with the staff it was the structure and management of the school. I had done some research on sending pre k students home, everything I read clearly stated that there was no benefit to sending them home but that it was more of reward. So in the end it just makes everything worse for everyone, parents having to find alternative care, the costs associated with alternative care and the costs still at GV Christian, and also having the employees to get rid of a "problem child" creates poor work moral. I believe that better in house training, only hiring (professional) educated staff, and restructuring the "send home" policy to be a little more internal will help with the success of GV Christian School. Teachers handling kids at such a young age I believe it's the responsibility of the teacher to teach rather then sending the kids home. I am not in the business of child care and education however as a parent and entrepreneur this situation has been made very clear to me. Although she has had many great days and much positive reinforcement throughout her time at GV Christian School these issues can not be overlooked. My daughter would still be there if it weren't for these current circumstances. read more

May daughter has been here since she was 6 months old and we love it! The teachers and staff are amazing! We are so grateful that she is able to attend kindergarten here. The curriculum is top notch just like their entire staff! read more

Avoid this 'school'. It is an overpriced child minding facility, and a poor one at that. Most of the teachers are not qualified. The classes are huge (some over 30 students). 80% of the admin are related and not qualified to write my shopping list, plus their kids can pretty much get away with anything including bullying & being disruptive with zero repercussions. And if you have a problem, they will kick you out of the school. 12 kids were recently kicked out because their parents had concerns and organized a parents only meeting to discuss the issues. GV got wind of this and got rid of 'the problem'. This is not an isolated incident. There are much better schools out there. read more

Don't send your children to this school! During the first week of school she was sent out in 110+ degree weather with little shade and no water. While outside, she became ill and experienced signs of heat exhaustion. She returned home sick and severly sunburned. When we contacted the administration, we were told, we were the problem and that it was okay to send our children out in weather while under a severe heat advisory. Needless to say, we pulled her out of the school after she became ill and was bullied by one of the kids (which the administration did nothing about). They never returned ANY of our tuition money, though we paid in advance. And they call themselves Christians!!! Now I understand why there were few parishioners at their Church services. Save your $$ and send your kids to a school that cares about their health and well being. If you want your kids in a good Christian environment, find a school with real Christians!!! For the love of money is the root of all evil. read more

This school has already shown me how much I regret putting my son here and we haven't even started his first day. Supposedly a Christian school with shady mentalities. Can already tell this is going to be a long year. After doing the right thing and being pro active registering my son we find out over a month later that their offering 20% off tuition for first time students. Discounts like this most of the time are given to people who are pro active and don't wait until the last minute to do stuff. Is that what their teaching kids you'll be rewarded for waiting until the last minute? We were told it's nothing they can do about it and it's subject to availability the discount. What a lie, why would you be giving discounts if your classes are full? If you intend to go to this school in the future I would advise wait until the last minute to register. Don't be like me and fall for the classes are filling up fast and you don't want to be put on the waiting list because obviously there isn't one. If you do for one you should do for all. Wait until the last minute and you'll be rewarded with a nice discount. Before every school year it will be my mission to warn families to wait until the day before the first day of school starts to register for the 20% discount that's coming. read more

Money! money! money! It feels to me that they only use God as a sales pitch in this school/church. I left my toddler in their care and was very disappointed in the results. 50% of the time I picked up my baby crying and with pooped pampers, "it" probably was in the pampers for over an hour gaging on the rancid smell. When I asked staff why this was happening, suddenly, out of the blue, they started trying to shed the fault on the baby. My baby loved the teacher (only reason for the 2 stars), but the teacher is there only part time, the women that take care of the kids after the teacher leaves seemed to have been selected based on being related to chirch staff (not on qualifications or credentials). The price is way too high for the quality of service provided, it felt like a complete waste of money since my child was so poorly attended. Your children are the most precious thing in this life, it is depressing to see people willing to look after $$ for personal gain first before considering a child's wellbeing first. My toddler is now much happier in a much smaller group of kids in another school. Unfortunately, most of us need to work and can't take care of our kids 24/7, it is so hard to find an affordable place that has responsible staff that you can trust and that will take care of your baby. read more

Similar to another reviewer. Love the Christian values instilled in my child, but completely unsatisfied with the discipline process. Sending a child home rewards a child at the kindergarten age and doesn't help. I've found that since my son learned that "having Mom come sit in class" or "getting sent home" are the consequences (rewards) for bad behavior it's only gotten worse. He's never thrown a tantrum in his life at home but has learned it there and apparently it get him with he wants there, as he told the principle, so he continues to do it. I don't know how they can restructure this discipline process but after reading the other review and having the exact same experience it's sounds like it needs to happen! We also went to preschool there and the preschool staff didn't have any of these issues, FYI read more

Previously, I would've given this preschool a 3 stars because the director and a couple of teachers were good, but there were some issues with organization, behavior management, and communication. However, after recent incidents I would give this a 0 if I could. The director (a newly hired person) was very dishonest to us at time and even purposely hid from me that my son was choked so bad he turned purple. When we brought it to her attention, she tried to deny it, but then said she told the teacher to tell us and the teacher didn't. We know this is not the case because of several other people telling us what really happened. Not only would they hide something so serious about my child, but she lied and then threw her own staff under the bus. I would NEVER recommend this school to anyone! read more

A "private" school with 25 - 30 kids in a class with a teacher, and a teachers aide. The individualized attention one usually boasts in a more standard private school class size of 10-15 is non existent. It is a college prepatory school, and boy do they mean it. Expect your child do be in school for 7 hours, then have 3 hours of hw a night WITH parental assistance as early as 3rd and 4th grade. By fourth grade they are essentially thrown into an "on your own" educational world, with little to no true assistance of how to. They have admitted that they don't do enough preparation for this, and hope to do so to future classes. So basically, not caring about the present students who don't get a fair chance despite this acknowledgement. My kid doesn't just dread school now, she is scared of it. This is been a terrible experience and I feel awful for putting my child through this, but fortunately she forgives me and we will be going elsewhere soon. read more

I write this with a heavy heart disappointed. I enrolled my daughter at this school for second grade. She had previously attended another faith based school and had to leave there as it only went up to first grade. I had high hopes for this school thinking she would be treated with love and nurturing and would continue to be in a school led by Christ. I couldn't be more wrong the environment was harsh and my daughter was left feeling crushed she was punished for things that was academic. The teacher has a tally system where for certain behavior they would have to pull a tally. Why is a child demeaned and punished not for a behavior but an academic reason? This school believes that an academic reason is a behavior?Where is the love where is the Nurturing where is leading by Christ? When I spoke to both administration I was appalled by not only how I was treated but by the lack of compassion for the children. The administration is so far detached now that they no longer care or consider a child's emotional feelings. I felt when I spoke to both administrators they couldn't even see my point as they mentioned several times how long they've known the teacher. I felt dismissed and that they were going to take their friends side. When I tried to see if we could come to a common ground I was again shut down and I felt that they could care less what I had to say. Not every student is the same and not every student should be treated that way. Every class has an aide so I believe the individual approach can be attained due to the teacher having help. When you demean a child some kids may be able to shake it off and some may not. I don't want my child's spirit crushed and I don't want her to have to recover from This school year. I had no choice but to withdraw her as the administration could care less what I had to say. I'm just so disappointed in a faith based school that they would act in a very non Christian way. This school may work great for some but my daughter was a nervous wreck going to school scared she was going to be punished or given a negative mark when she followed all the rules but she wasn't perfect so guess that is a behavior. read more

My child has been going to this school since 2014 and overall it's a good atmosphere. One of the concerns I have is that the safe key program is not well staffed. You essentially have children looking over children. The school has many staff that are blood related which may hinder the diversity of the hired staff due to extreme nepotism. Plus many of the kids that are hired are hipsters and millennials with emo issues. During the holiday season safe key is available all day at a cost of $25 otherwise it's $15 daily during normal days on top of the tuition. When I have dropped off my kid and picked them up, I always see the hired children (staff) goofing off most of the time or oblivious to safety. Once I came to pick my kid up at the front and so the children (staff) called for my child on their 2 way radio. I waited for a long time and asked if they had already called for my kid. The girl at the front told me in her words, "oh your kid just left and walked outside, you didn't see her?" I immediately ran out into the parking lot and could not find her. Frantically looking for her and shortly afterwards the girl at the front went outside and said that it was a mistake and that it was not my kid that walked outside. I came back inside and handled my business with them and told them to verify before they say something like that. This is where the goofing off is a prime example. On other occasions, I have felt favoritism towards certain kids and parents in class from the teachers, TA and staff. I've been ignored in the past by TA's when they have walked my kid to the office because they had gotten in trouble. The TA completely ignored me as they walked by with my kid. I have felt a sense of favoritism in the school. It could be because we don't donate enough or perhaps we are not the right demographic. Also, please keep in mind that this school is a private school, but be prepared to spend additional money throughout the year for parties, events, etc. On a final note. Don't voice your opinion to any staff member. You will get shunned and have "Christians" likely talking behind your back. read more

Terrible experience... I never expected such an experience in the Christian environment. Also need to mention that in addition to the teacher other people (young girls) are taking care of the toddlers I even don't know their names or graduation. This makes me concerned for my sons safety, I have a right to know who is taking care of my child and we had to be informed about this before our son was introduced to your facility. Disorganization...whenever I call nobody is available...except the receptionist who can't help you with your question. Many times tried to get ahold of Nancy Roper and Ixchell Gonzales...useless...They have poor menu. If your child has an allergy they don't have an option. They don't give you a "daily sheet" of your kid's day even if they promise it in their booklet.If you ask for that daily sheet your kid becomes "problematic" and look for another school. I feel cheated after spending so much time and money for nothing. The experience is opposite to what they say on their website and in the booklet. I do not recommend this preschool to anybody read more

Just moved my son here after a bad week at another preschool in the area.

To sum this school up in one word: incredible! My older daughter went through the pre-school program and she was more than ready for CCSD kindergarten. She exited the program able to recognize all her upper and lower case letters, their phonemic sounds, and how to write them. She could also read, write and recognize numbers 1-20, all basic colors and all basic shapes. She was prepared with learning how to sit for a lesson, in chairs for seat work, how to work cooperatively in groups and listen to teachers. Weekly, the students go to "chapel" for worship and song. Each class takes turns throughout the year to deliver the message on stage. There is plenty of fun and love that takes place during the day. My younger daughter is now attending the four year old program and I have no doubt in my mind that she will be ready for kindergarten also next year. The teachers we have had go above and beyond for the children in their care. I felt good about leaving my daughters in their care, knowing that if there is any trouble the school is quick to communicate with me. I can't sing the praises louder for such a great school! read more

My daughter has attended GVCS for 2 years. I value Christian family morals and a college preparatory education for her. GVCS has met these desires beautifully.

I recommend this school to anyone seeking to incorporate these values into their lives. read more

A Christian School with a Very Anti-Christian Policy. Today - I just Withdrew my daughter from the Pre-School due to threats from the schools Accountant, Nancy Roper. This person is the most Un-Christian person your will ever meet. She has no place in a school that is attempting to teach Christian Values. We were told by school "sales persons" that we could place our child in Pre-school on a week by week basis to "prepare her" for Kindergarten. Last week was a week long vacation for Spring Break. On the Wednesday following the break I received emails from Nancy Roper DEMANDING payment for the week that there was no school. When I questioned this... Ms. Roper wrote back and said it is school policy to pay even when there is no school. When we asked if our daughter could make up the lost days that we would be FORCED to pay for. Ms. Roper said that the school forbids make up days. She kept telling me to stop complaining and "Just Pay!" She must make cash bonuses based on extra money collected OUTSIDE of actual school fees. She went on to say that If we did not like the school policy we should withdraw our child from the school and Not bring her anymore. She even went so far as to email me the school's "withdrawal form" in some sort of threat: Daring us to withdraw our child. THE NERVE! A Christian School??? We are not the kind of people that take well to threats. So we did as Ms. Roper Dared us to do and withdrew our child from the pre-school. read more
