This is the best kept secret in Henderson. We had our daughter in the school for two years during…read morethe height of the pandemic. Having our daughter attend the Children's Garden has been a grateful experience for us, especially when all the schools were disrupted in some way. She was able to interact with her peers and her teacher in an intimate and safe environment. From tending to their own garden box, to the various activities in the outdoor classroom, from learning the basic building blocks of academics, to learning how to interact with peers, the experience at the school helped our four year old blossom. The first year of school was amazing, and the second year was even better. The parents were so involved, and the teacher is more than qualified with a big heart. When school is out, my daughter cries that she misses Ms. K, and when I ask her what she likes about her school, she shouts "Everything!"

The Children's Garden is amazing. Ms Kristen is an amazing teacher and is very qualified. The…read morespecial attention she gives each child is unique in the best way possible. Each kid has their own garden box and learns how to care for flowers, vegetables and herbs. They pick their own favorite and grow them from seed. A greenhouse even accompanies the garden. Wildlife visits the garden many times per day, and the kids love seeing all the different colors of hummingbirds, butterfly's, and even try to find the types they saw. I was amazed at the maturity and brilliance each kid showed- and they are five! Land ecosystems aren't the only thing they learn- Mrs K has a water ecosystem with two Axolotls and, to match with what they are learning, often has Caterpillars that turn into Butterfly's, Silkworms that become Moths, Tadpoles to Frogs, and more. The books on the shelves change to match the lesson plan. Spanish is also taught with the help of Rockalinga, the musical learning app. If you are worried about how your kid is doing, each parent can look through the camera hanging over the classroom at work or at home. To ensure the children's safety, they have an air purifier and Mrs K wears a mask at all times. Kids trace shapes and their name to build hand-strength and learn to write. From reading stories, teaching five-year-olds how to do long division, this place could not be a better fit.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Coronado. As a parent, nothing matters more than knowing…read moreyour child is safe, loved, and truly cared for, and that is exactly what we have found here. The staff is kind, dependable, and deeply attentive. They treat each child as an individual, taking time to understand their strengths, needs, and personalities, and they go far beyond basic childcare with activities that support social, emotional, and academic growth. Thank you, Miss Summer and Miss Maria for their daily warmth, patience, and encouragement. Jen, the owner, is exceptional, and her passion for helping children grow is reflected throughout the entire team. Knowing my four-year-old is in such loving, capable hands brings incredible peace. I only wish I had found Coronado sooner for my older child. Five stars doesn't feel like enough--we are so grateful.

The teachers and staff were always caring, kind, and genuinely excited to see the kids. They also did such a great job making things fun. My girls still remember the foam parties, bounce houses, Trunk or Treat, Santa visits, and all the different taste-testing activities. There was always something special going on, and they made so many happy memories there. We always felt like our kids were safe, cared for, learning, and having fun. They entered kindergarten a step ahead and had an easy transition into elementary school. We are so thankful for our time at Coronado Prep and would definitely recommend it to other families.

She has exceeded in school and i believe its all due to attending rising star! The pandemic happened during her graduation time and they did a drive thru graduation which was so awesome. As a family we were effected by covid by loss of income and both Miss. liz and Miss. Tina were so understanding and i feel very reasonable in their accomidations to families needing to withdraw. I totally appreciate everyone here and know the pandemic hit them financially as well so i understood at least providing a week notice instead of their normal 2 weeks because the school needs to know their income in order to staff and pay employees and the teachers mean so much to me i didnt want to negatively impact them. I felt they went above and beyond to help families during a hard time. I disagree heavily with Jason who posted a review claiming they just want money, and if as he wrote he appreciated the teachers than he wouldve understood that him not paying what is owed and fair impacts the ones he claims to appreciate. I experienced his parent several times one time standing at tbe counter yelling about how his card wouldnt read on the card swipe machine he was a very large man screaming and slamming the front desk bell right in front of the kids classroom really scaring all the kids. Sad to see someone rate this place low because he didnt want to pay his bill! Rising star in my 4 years has always been understanding and very reasonable with any financial issue i faced the owner is very kind and giving and she has helped many families and does a lot for charity that directly goes to our city. I am so happy i found them for my daughter and have never had any issues with their care, education, safety, great teachers and admin is always avaliable if needed. Thanks for being awesome and i can see why you won Best of Las Vegas! Tina and her staff are the BEST!

If I were to give stars based on my personal experience I would give one star. My intention is to…read morenot harm their business, but to raise awareness of the situation and reputation of this school. I have waited two years after withdrawing my toddler to make this review. I am a hairstylist in the area and I have spoken to a lot of other Mom's who have had similar experiences as I did. I won't go into the details but the owner of this place is an extremely unprofessional and an unpleasant person. Three of my clients and my coworker have had negative experiences here. Some ending in withdrawing also. The owner is disrespectful and aggressive with the parents. She has lots of personal issues that she involves her employees in. The girls that worked there were very nice, but I could see there was tension and strict inconsistent verbal abuse from the owner. If she is the owner, then her actions and attitude are a representation of the integrity of her establishment. I withdrew my child properly and waited the two weeks. But I would not go back. Although, my toddler loved her teachers there. They do not provide lunch for the kids and charge more than most daycares around. We have been at a daycare close to this one for two years now and we are so very happy. They are like family.

She is constantly yelling at the children. Tells the parents that she will work with each student individually but does NOT (there are only a total of 8 students and about 5 teachers) but yet my daughter has yet to learn a single thing in the month that she has been there. She learned so much more at her other school. Ms. Carrol also told my daughter she is not smart and now she comes home saying "mommy I'm not smart, with my numbers" my daughter has yet to learn a single thing there. her previous school taught her the number one to six, and has yet to learn seven at this school. She just comes home feeling dumb like she can not learn, because of this miserable woman.

She learned far more than required to start Kindergarten; letters, numbers, colors, shapes, name recognition and the list goes on! The class sizes are very small, every child is known by name. Spanish is taught several times a week. Breakfast is family style and lunches are a time to visit and enjoy friends company. The toys are older, like the toys I grew up with. Not a bunch of blinking lights, stuff to engage the imagination! Children are taught to behave. I prefer things to be more strict because my kids are coddled so much at home. Its a good balance for my family. They have their own playground. Oh! My kiddo was even in the Newspaper! All of the teachers are older, its like sending them to Grandmas. (Grandma is loving but firm!) The children will emerge from Oaklane Academy as wholesome, well rounded learners. Beings that we are in a small town, I still see the kids my daughter went to school with, they are all very bright and respectful. These are not the kids you see throwing tantrums and having disciplinary issues. Mrs. Gordon had a pretty full field trip schedule in the summers as well. We love it so much that my three year old twins just started this week!

People tell me that I have a gift of finding the right words. I tell them, sometimes its just as…read moreeasy as a walk in the park. Just like finding where a good story sits best. Some people say that the original apostles did not recite stories. Fact was they were mostly madmen. Yet they were worthy as disciples. At one time, most people never questioned the word of God. People said they went to temples to connect with god. But everyone will tell you that nothing feels more like the presence of god than a furious storm. Since everyone seemed to fear their god. I suppose it was natural for them to run from any storm. I imagine anyone who truly feels the love of their divine creator. Has the most questions. Especially when it often feels like god is constantly testing with life challenges. That kind of love, from a woman can drive a man wild. I imagine God's love, can send a man on insanely journeys. Some guy shot an arrow to get his attention. And I suppose other men have walked right into the beast of all storms. A leap of faith indeed. A madness that demands god to confront him. Either by peace of mind. Or death. Probably how "Give me liberty or give me death" originated. Unfortunately that kind of story is very difficult to validate. But I heard that a girl once witnessed a dead madman who walked in his own death. And even returned to tell her the entire story. I believe she goes by the name Grace.
