It is not a large school with a maximum of 12 students per class, which I find to be amazing. The teachers are able to give students more attention which helps establish positive relationships and build trust in the classroom. There is also a lot of parental involvement and lots of fun activities that the school offers through PTFC. If you want a small Christian school that has sports, fellowship with families and high academic standards I highly recommend this school.

Safety is definitely a issue with this school. My student slipped & hit his head & was sent back to…read moreclass. We were not notified of this accident until my son started throwing up & when I got the call the secretary told me he had a stomach ache & was throwing up. They were trying to hide the fact that he had a concussion. Head injuries are very serious! When we spoke to the principal about this her response was "he's an athlete. So we didn't think twice about". Another injury happened, where he sliced his palm open with a pencil & again no call was made! I found out when I picked up from school & was told they couldn't touch the wound & had him rinse his hand with water. If there would've been a call (like any other school does when there is a injury) I would've left work to bring him supplies to properly clean the wound. The staff there is super rude, there is maybe 5 teachers that are friendly. The secretary/athletic director has no sense in how to run the athletic program & safety again is a issue when she let's first graders play in sports with 4th graders. She will just glare at you & won't speak & that's how majority of the staff is. The second grade teacher Ms Hamby is awful! She has no control over her class, she will not communicate with parents & if your child isn't a staff members child she will definitely have it out for your child. They continue to raise tuition every year but nothing changes, the lunch program continues to get more expensive but the servings are smaller, the one thing I have noticed is parents become "teachers" & they will either get free tuition or drastically reduced so that to me explains why they continue to raise tuition. Who knows if these parents have teachers degrees/certifications, my son's computer "teacher" had them watch videos on how to make PB&J sandwiches, that's not computer class to me. You pay alot to send your child to a private school & to have the staff not care about safety & also just the straight up rudeness from them especially since they preach about Christianity & kindness it's not ok. I would not recommend this school, one star given simply because he was learning about God

My nephew has attended Pathways Academy for the past year as a fifth grader. He previously…read moreattended public school in Rio Rancho with disastrous results. This school has been absolutely perfect for our family since he was diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum as being a child with High-Functioning Autism. He is not in a special education classroom and is not on an IEP and does not need to be at this school. The school treats each child as an individual and educates them to their specific needs and abilities. The school has a four-day school week and there is no homework being brought home. My nephew has been allowed to advance at his own level, even up to the next grade level, and does not have the stigma of being treated like he is in special education. All children are on a behavior management program where they are rewarded for good behavior and he is frequently going on field trips. Bullying is treated appropriately and I'm ecstatic to hear my nephew be able to actually say for the first time that he has "friends." He has sensory issues with clothes and is allowed to wear clothes that are comfortable to him. I like this school because my nephew is treated like a capable child and for the first time in his life is enjoying school and really likes his teachers. It's a pleasure to see him come home from school in a good mood and a lot of his behavioral issues at home have greatly decreased since he has been enrolled at this school. I would totally recommend this school to any parent who has a child on the autism spectrum and/or has ADHD/ADD, or has any type of learning disability.

I was supersized I read so many negative reviews of this place. I will say prior to my son…read moreattending this place we had the worst experience with the public school preschool program and special education classroom. At the previous school my child was hit by a teacher and we created an investigation. So I wanted my child to be in an educational system in which I could have access to video monitoring services and one that held teachers accountable. So I as any parents of a little one I was skeptical of every place that I went to observe and I ended liking kiddie academy because of their philosophy, rules, and how they hold teachers accountable. My child has a few couples of days getting used to his new school and he did bite a child one day and got suspended. However in no time he learned to get a long with the rest of the children and be friends with children. I saw my child grow as the little butterfly he is and be confident in his social skills and educational journey. He was able to graduate from pre-K with his peers and do the summer program as well. He loved it so much that me that he is in kinder he tells me he misses Kiddie academy friends and teachers. The team is amazing and wonderful and I will forever be grateful they took care of my little one as one of theirs.

Despite the multiple discussions with management and staff, my 2 year old son continued to be bitten. The management had an attitude of "kids will be kids" and not an attitude of how to make sure he and the other children were not bitten. One or two bites may be a toddler behavior but not 32. The lack of care, or plan put in place was the reason we had to disenroll. It was not fair to my son to go to school everyday in that type of environment. The only reason I didn't give it one star was because there were a couple teachers I liked at the school.​

TO NOTE: THIS DAYCARE EXCHANGES WAIVED FEES FOR POSITIVE REVIEWS…read moreThis daycare - run by Owner and Executive Director Crystal Tapia and her family members who are in all the administrative staff roles, is an overall disappointment, untrustworthy, unsafe and very clearly more interested in the money they are able to bring in instead of the families they are working with or children they are "caring for." The two main problems we experienced with this daycare - 1. there is a lot of dishonesty and shady behavior regarding money - it is clearly their sole concern and 2. children safety and supervision is severely lacking. First, the money. There were several instances in which we were given incorrect tuition and fee information, repeatedly, by administrative staff only to find out the fees were much more upon required payment. We were among many families who received this tuition information - which is a huge deciding factor when choosing a daycare - only to find out when payment was requested that the tuition was actually higher. No apologies were issued, no courtesy credits or compromises given to make things right for the families who had budgeted for the prior amount. We escalated this to Crystal, hoping she would offer some sort of a solution, explanation or further our understanding of the miscommunication and how it can be avoided moving forward. She offered no explanation or apology. She sat in our meeting with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. She told us that if she were to honor the price we were given by her staff (on multiple, separate occasions over the course of several months) then SHE WOULD HAVE TO FIRE SOME OF HER TEACHERS at the center because she wouldn't be able to afford the $100-$200 dip in revenue per month. Her offered solution was if we didn't like the new secret price we could find a new daycare. This cold and dismissive response - along with the insulting, blatant lie about having to fire teachers to rectify the situation, from the Owner/Executive Director of the daycare (not to mention COUNCIL MEMBER OF THE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE DEPARTMENT AND TREASURER OF THE NEW MEXICO CHILD CARE AND EDUCATION ASSOCIATION) was absolutely appalling. The dishonesty and lack of concern should have been insight enough as to the type of establishment this was -despite the beautiful quote about God leading the daycare in the entryway. But we found a way to pay the higher tuition since our child had already been established and we didn't want to uproot. Throughout our time there, we were consistently harassed to purchase expensive Gala tickets to support one of Crystal's causes, as well as 5k tickets and other fundraisers that I have a very low level of trust and confidence as to where the money was actually going, given our experience. Now, to the child safety and lack of supervision. Our young child was bullied often in the classroom as well as on the playground. In the classroom, there was one child in particular who hit, bit, shoved, screamed, etc, at our child among others. Of course, I am a parent and fully understand that these things happen with small children. The issue was brought to the attention of the teacher multiple times, as our child was consistently coming home with marks. We were told they would try to keep this child away from our child, but there wasn't much they could do. We were also told that the bully had autism and his behavior was CAUSED by our child, because our child was too loud and the bully was sensitive to noise. Our child also ran into some bullying on the playground, as the small children were let out on the playground at the same time as the older kids and after-school program kids. Again, nothing they could do. Crystal often had media on the daycare campus to interview her or promote one of her causes/fundraisers - often on the playground. I wonder if less effort went in to her self-promotion, and more effort went into the supervision of our children, if there would have been less incidents. I am grateful, however, for our experience with Crystal and her family/staff, as we have learned in great detail what we would like to avoid at all costs in future daycares and schools.

I am the writer of that horribly written negative review. That was written when I was much younger,…read moreand I have a much different and a better view of this whole situation now so I will write a better review. I went to that school from preschool (they called it k-4 when I was in it) all the way up until 8th grade. There were many different principals while I was there but my experience with one of them, Mrs. Cordova, was the most memorable and was my main reason for such a hateful review. She would often take advantage of the fact that I was not only stupid as a preteen, but that I was always the one being walked all over. She had been my 2nd grade teacher, and not long after became the principal. She tried to get me to be a mediator for a group of girls in my class that caused the most issues and were the main bullies in the school at the time. She also never suggested solutions or helped in any way when it came to academic problems. At the time, the math teacher was one of her close friends and she would, in fact, "play the devils advocate" whenever anyone said any sort of issue they had with the math teacher, including with her own son. Different children have different needs and some are more sensitive than others. It was not helpful or kind of her to always try and pin the blame on me for not understanding what the teacher was teaching. They would suggest tutoring but a middle schooler and a high schooler being put together for tutoring doesn't work well OFTEN. High schoolers can and DO get distracted easily, especially in an environment where they are not allowed to get distracted or talk much with their friends until lunchtime which was when tutoring was. This school was not helpful unless you were one of the really academically strong kids, and that was my issue. It also was not a very okay environment to be gay in, especially when it was covid and it felt like the world was ending. It was not a good experience for me overall, but I would like to apologize about the hateful and disrespectful review. It doesn't reflect the person that I am now. Please just be mindful of your children and remember, every sin is seen the same in God's eyes and we don't chastise or intimidate our children and relatives for eating bacon like we have gay people for being gay. Truly love each other and do not judge, we do not have the right to only God can. Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;"

OK first off not condoning people being gay doesn't mean you're homophobic doesn't mean I'm afraid…read moreof gay people the last thing on the planet I'm afraid of is gay people. Doesn't mean I hate them or anything like that. I wish them the best I really do just like anybody else who sins we're all born into it. The two really hateful reviews are from people who don't know Jesus and sent their kids to the school simply so that they could use their children as a crutch to write bad reviews, and the only review they have written is about the school they opened up an account just to write a bad review That being said, my son has straight, A's knows more about the Bible than I do knows a lot about math a lot about history a lot about science is great in PE and that's not mentioning how big he is. He's the biggest kid there by far in his grade there are a few things just like any other school that worry me a little Bit And it doesn't mean the schools bad it just means some of the teachers need to get their act together. I really hope some of them don't play favorites but I'm sure that many of the people that write these horrible reviews about this wonderful school have that favorite game they play to I'm sure they played every day at work. They play it on the road they played at home. They play it with their friends. This place is a wonderful school to send your child a little expensive but it's far less expensive than the other schools that are charging 12 and $13,000 For your child ago I paid $6800 a year and yes it's a little bit harder because I had to take a massive pay cut to move from Seattle to New Mexico but my son is happy very happy. I hope that people make it an assessment for themselves, rather than listening to the horrible reviews that were written from normal people that don't get employed by the school there's literally only four reviews. Including this one don't work here I'm a plumber. Everybody knows me is the big red bearded man. I'm more friendly than I ever have been because my family is happy. My sons education is paramount. This is an accredited school. He's gonna go far despite what some of the haters say. Have a nice day everybody great place to send your child. And trump is great. He's flawed just like the rest of us.
