Letter from Mr. Forrest
Gladys L.

Wow, you really have lying issues. Even after letting 10 months pass, after all emotions have settled, I still felt strongly about letting the community know how involved you got in a personal family situation, because that is just insane. Still you speak about the situation with your limited knowledge on what my son's dad told you. Legal action wasn't taken by my son's dad. It was a divorce we were going through and you were just one of his "flying monkeys". He just used you like he uses other people to get what he wants from them. It is crazy for you to be talking about me not wanting my son's dad to see him. What do you know? Or talking about the decision between me and my son's dad not keeping him at HCS, and talking about my son starting over again. How are you getting so involved? Were you going to be part of our negotiations on paying part of that school bill? And then talking about my husband always "willing to come together". You absolutely had no right because for one, that was not your place, and for another you knew nothing! That is insane! Was I divorcing you or my husband, and why were you so involved? You literally knew us for about 3 months. I don't know what he was telling you, but you sure didn't handle this situation well. Did he tell you that I have several police reports on him kicking me and my kids out of our house on several occasions, at all hours of the day and night, or throwing a lamp at me when I was 6 months pregnant, and him going to jail for it, or cheating on me time and time again, or his drug problem, or me having to get a restraining order because of his threats that I better watch my back. I'm sure all you know is about the lies he told you. Maybe you should not get so personally involved to a point of bias. When I was pregnant with my son I even had to go to Harvest church to reach out for help because of the abuse endured by him. I believe if you are that easily manipulated by what someone tells you then you should not be in charge of leading or being trusted with children. You are definitely not a safe person. Everyone needs to know that you are a liar and there is no other way to put it. You NEVER made attempts to meet and there was NO constant refusals from me. We met once and that was because I requested to meet. Your reply is full of lies and I am even more shocked then before. I don't know what your problem is, but you will reap what you sow. Just reading your response tells me you have issues. Any other professional would not have responded like you have, or would ever act the way you did. I've read other reviews about you and you are always denying and never apologizing. My other kids went to HCS when Mr. Campbell was principal and it was such a blessing. Having this experience with you as the principal has been a nightmare. I have been going to Harvest Church for 25 years and you have been the only thing that has made my experience with Harvest a bad one. No matter how this has gone down, the enemy will be defeated. You honestly just need to be removed from leadership at HCS before you hurt another family. And you say you are willing to meet face to face. For what? I want everyone to know the truth, and this is how to do it. I am not lying about anything so I definitely have peace that the truth be told. I don't need to meet with you face to face to make that happen. If you want to find peace, then you can apologize. I am a very forgiving person. I'm sure my son's dad didn't tell you that either.

First day of the 1st grade. We did not yet realize how important and beneficial Harvest Christian School would be to our boy's foundation!

I'm reviewing this school two years after we left, to share with you how it's affected my oldest, who went for seven years (K-6). I hope this helps you understand why I am so glad we chose Harvest Christian School. My son, now an 8th grader at Chemawa Middle School, appreciates the foundation laid for him at Harvest as it has served him well. He sees the majority of his classmates with vastly different lifestyles than how he's been raised (both academically and spiritually). I asked my son if he wishes he would have stayed in a Christian school environment, and he surprisingly said, "no dad, i'm glad I see how people are in the real world. Some are OK and some are definitely "sus," but I don't hang out with them." So apparently Harvest Christian School is indeed a bubble--and I'm totally ok with that for K-6. He's memorized so much scripture, including this one "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will" It makes me so happy to know that the Word of God guides his decisions now, outside of the bubble. My son was introduced to music here in 4th grade. He learned to read music and fell in love with classical music, especially Baroque (Bach, Pachelbel, Beethoven) because of this after school program. Now he plays his trumpet (5 years now), french horn, percussion, piano and is starting to write his own music. He plays the Tron Legacy soundtrack in my truck when we drive and tells me about the instruments being played. The teacher to kid ratio is good, and lots of parents help out. Crazy that on open house nights, with 24 kids in the class, 48+ parents (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc) show up to support their child. It's this focus on quality family interactions that is now my boy's "normal." Thank you Harvest parents for showing him example after example of a quality family unit. I know that's not Harvest Christian School's doing per se, but it's a value add for sure. Finally, I think the educators here could work ANYWHERE, but they are servant leaders first and foremost. Spend a day volunteering there and you will know it's not about the money, but a calling to be here and spread the love of Jesus to these kids. My son often comes with me to pickup my daughter (who is still attending) and takes about 30 minutes every time to stop in and chat with his favorite teachers. Doesn't that tell you enough?

We couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience. From the very first day, the teachers…read morewelcomed our child with open arms and open hearts. They are not only incredibly knowledgeable and nurturing, but they treat each child as if they were their own -- with so much love, patience, and genuine care. Every morning, our child was excited to go to school, and always came home eager to share something new they learned. That joy and comfort came from the environment the teachers created -- one where every child is seen, valued, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. The communication with families was always thoughtful and consistent, and it was clear the entire staff was deeply invested in each child's development -- socially, emotionally, and academically. We are forever grateful for the strong foundation this preschool gave our child. Although, our child only spent around 10 months there. The memories made here will stay with us for a lifetime, and the love and guidance from the teachers will always hold a special place in our hearts. We thank the teachers for cheering on and for loving our child like one of your own. You made school a place they were excited to run into each morning -- and that's a gift we'll never forget. Highly, highly recommend to any family looking for a warm, exceptional start to their child's learning journey.

I've had my son at La Petite Academy Clay St since he was 1, of course I beyond scared and nervous…read morethe first week he attended but his reaction of not wanting to come home anymore left me at ease knowing my son was happy to be there and LOVED being there, 3 years later now both my son and daughter go there. I got to know most of the teachers on a personal level and they are beyond AMAZING, This work place is a family! They treat the kids as if they are their own! I love the connection the teachers build with you, they send updated through out the day on the app keeping me updated, when I drop off or pick up they communicate and conversate with me, I'm so glad my kids love being here and love the teachers!! Makes me feel great that my kids are in good hands while I'm at work! Thank you All at La Petite!

I've had my children at La Petite Academy since 2024, and while I had high hopes, I'm increasingly…read morebecoming disappointed. The staff-to-child ratio is clearly an issue, and my older child has faced repeated bullying and I'm not 100% confident the issue was brought to other parents attention since it is continuing . Now my 1-year-old has been bitten twice in just a 2 month timeframe . When I raised these serious concerns, the response from leadership was dismissive and unprofessional -- brushing it off with "kids will be kids" "they will grow out of it" . The director is quick to call out tuition in front of other parents but shows little involvement in ensuring a safe, supportive environment. I expected better -- both in safety and in care. Mind you I have 3 children (7)(5)(1) that attend this daycare. I'm leaving this review in hopes another parent won't have this experience. My son begs not to come back to this daycare.
