Avery bonded with Ms Mel immediately and as a result she has grown and thrived in her class. It is going to be hard for Avery to leave Ms Mel for kindergarten but she has done a great job preparing Avery for her next chapter in school.

Pulled my son out of this preschool and I would NOT recommend it…read more First off, the attitude from the front desk and director changed immediately after I enrolled. It felt unwelcoming and unprofessional from the start, but I tried to give it a chance. What I can't ignore is how they handled incidents with my child. I was asked to sign an incident report about my son hitting his lip a WEEK after it supposedly happened. Then this past Monday, another child BIT my son hard enough to leave a mark on his shoulder--and I wasn't told until Wednesday. No call the day it happened, no heads up--just delayed paperwork like it's no big deal. That is NOT okay. If something happens to my child, I expect to be told immediately. The fact that they didn't communicate that in real time is a huge red flag. Then they want to be strict about their policies when it benefits them. They called me to pick my son up at 9:30am saying he threw up, but gave me ZERO clear instructions about a 24-hour policy. The very next morning (Friday), I bring him in completely fine, he had absolutely no symptoms and had not thrown up at all since I picked him up the previous morning, and suddenly I'm being turned away at the door with attitude about "24 hours symptom free." Don't pick and choose when to follow policy. On top of that, my son has barely even been able to attend because he's been sick constantly since starting--including the flu and hand, foot, and mouth--and they still expect full payment AND a two-week notice after everything that's happened. Absolutely not. The lack of communication, delayed incident reporting, and rude front office staff made this an easy decision for me. Do better. Side note: the actual teachers in the classrooms have been great. This review is strictly about management and front desk staff, because that's where the issues are.

I agree with the one-star review regarding the director. In my personal experience, her…read moreinteractions with parents are inconsistent, especially before versus after a child enrolls. Communication and attitude seem to change once enrollment is complete, and conversations can feel like words are being twisted or misrepresented. The five-star review does not reflect what many parents have experienced and feels unusually biased. Based on conversations with other parents, these concerns are shared by many, even if not everyone feels comfortable posting publicly. While I respect that reviewers below had a positive experience, reviews are ultimately based on individual opinions and personal experiences. Not all families have the same interactions or outcomes. For some parents, having direct conversations does not feel like a safe or realistic option, especially when there is concern about retaliation or how it may impact their child. In those cases, leaving an honest review on Yelp may be the only way parents feel they can share feedback and highlight areas for improvement. These reviews are not meant to be inappropriate or harmful, but rather a way for parents to express their experiences and encourage accountability and growth from leadership.

So, we just moved from California and wanted to get our son into a good school. We toured a few…read moreschools and settled in Awaken academy. The registrar of the school was one of the most awesome, positive people in the school. My son is very obsessed with academics and has never gotten anything below a B. Immediately he commented that he felt like the classes were easy and wanted more of a challenge. His math teacher met us in the drop off and told us that the math class was too easy for our son and he could teach the class. She would do the best to try and find stuff that would challenge him. We met with the principal and academic dean. They explained to us that the standards from California and Nevada did not align and his initial testing score suggested that he needed to be in current math class he is in. We decided to trust them and went with what they thought was right. I wish that we could say that it got better, but more red flags kept popping up. We went to a parent meeting, and they introduced the new interim superintendent, super nice guy, but no educational experience. He mentioned how the school was running at a deficit and they had lost 75 students from middle school and high school. The church was going to cover the school, but it is not a sustainable model. One of the ideas to boost and keep enrollment was the new dress code. The high school students are allowed to wear jeans, so one of his solutions was if the middle school students signed up to come to high school at the Awakening academy, they would be considered high schoolers and can wear jeans. This did not spark great hope for us. So, my son was having some issues with his grades, not major, but he had turned in an assignment late because he misunderstood the due dates. He immediately talked to the teacher, and they told him he could turn it in for less credit, which was fair. When he got his report card, he noticed that two of his grades were slightly lower because the assignments were never graded. When he approached the teacher, they told him that grades were posted and it was too late to add the missing assignments. One teacher commented that it wasn't a big deal because he still had an A. The other teacher had been absent for a few weeks (more on that later) and she said the same thing that the grades were turned in, and nothing could be done. I asked my son if he wanted me to talk to the principal/academic dean, he said no he wanted to try and advocate for himself. He talked to the academic dean, and she said the same message, that grades were turned in, and nothing could be done. My son is very non-confrontational, and he mentioned that he did not want to bother the teachers and assumed that they would just eventually get the assignment graded. She told him that it was his responsibility to follow up with the teachers, and he needed to be that "kid pestering kid that bothers his teacher". We asked our son to have the dean send us an email if there was no resolution. She told him she would, but only this once since this issue between the teacher and him. Of course, she never emailed us, and we ended up sending an email to the principal who was able to get one of his grades changed and said that the other teacher said my son had ask to do extra work to make up for his lower grade...which was not what he asked for. The principal is awesome. She follows up on issues. We asked if she could meet with the teacher and my son. He did get credit for his assignments, but my son was so upset that he needed to get us involved, when this could have been easily solved if they had just listened to him. Getting back to the teacher that has missed a few weeks in the semester. She was the Spanish teacher. I don't know why she is out and not unsympathetic that she may have some personal issues, but the school did not provide an adequate substitute. They had a nice gentleman from Zimbabwe, who did not speak a lick of Spanish. There were some confusions on assignments and so my son was emailing her and CC's academic dean. The academic dean always says she is available, but my son says she is dismissive whenever he talks to her. She told him that since the Spanish teacher was back, he could stop CC'ing her on email. The purpose of CC her was that he wanted to make sure there was follow through on his email, because the Spanish teacher rarely responds. There is more I wanted to add and plenty I had to delete, apparently there is a 5,000 character limit on yelp, so I will leave some positives. The principal is hard working and doing the best she can. My son loved his biology, math and carpentry teacher. The Dean of student's was very sweet and provided my son with a sweater, since his did not meet the dress code. Also we left mid year and found out there is a 1,000 dollar fee for leaving not finishing the school year. I hope that they improve, but the school was not for us.

Unfortunately, our experience was filled with deep disappointment. Toward the end of the school year, a serious incident occurred on campus involving unsupervised students and vandalism. Despite the severity, it was handled with a disturbing lack of transparency and accountability. We have now been made aware by other parents and students there has been multiple other incidents throughout the year as well. This, combined with a mass exodus of leadership and staff, left us with major concerns about the school's organization and long-term stability. When the people working for the school are bailing, it's hard to believe anything is stable behind the scenes. Communication has been inconsistent, leadership turnover is alarming, and the academic standards did not reflect the value we expected from a private school. Most frustrating of all was the administration's refusal to acknowledge or meaningfully respond to our valid concerns--even when we followed their own request to submit them formally in writing. For families making the significant financial and emotional investment into private education, this experience was a letdown in every way. It's hard to believe this school has been around as long as it has given how mismanaged and disorganized everything feels. We cannot, in good conscience, recommend Awaken.

The staff have always been friendly, compassionate, and communicative. My son was in classroom 101 with Miss Julie and Miss Vichiny. He absolutely adored attending classes. And the teachers were so caring, they even came to see him act in a non-school sponsored play. Most importantly, my son was never, ever made to feel he's scholastically behind or socially problematic because of his larger-than-average emotions. (We left a previous private school for this reason.) Second most importantly, he was taught to read children's books and do impressive pre-k arithmetic! I still get a thrill watching him sound out words! Most children are not taught to read until at least the first grade. Challenger is unique and way ahead of the curve in this way. It's such an educational gem in Las Vegas - I wish I could tell more parents about it! The tuition is more than worth it. We also love how Challenger isn't afraid to shake up routines and get creative with the kids. They changed their policies to only require uniforms Mondays and Tuesdays. This was good for my son because - with his anxiety - he can get a little too attached to certain habits and structure. This forced him to be more flexible and go-with-the-flow, even if it was only regarding his school clothes. Unfortunately, we did have to pull our son out a couple months early because my husband and I both got laid off from our jobs at the same time. That said, it was the best introduction we could have ever given him to education. He'll be miles ahead of the other kids he's going to be attending public school with in the fall. Hot tip for you ultra frugal parents: Check local swap, sell, and exchange apps for other families selling their used Challenger uniforms. It can save you bundles of money!

My daughter started at Brilliant Mont in preschool and grew beautifully through the years, wrapped in care, encouragement, and excellence.

She showed up during a season when life wasn't easy. Her love and patience got us through a difficult time--we're forever grateful. She didn't just teach my daughter; she covered her in peace and gave her joy when things were uncertain. That's a gift you can't put a price on.

We're heartbroken to go, but so thankful to have been part of this amazing community. If you're considering a place where your child can grow not just academically but emotionally and spiritually too--this is the one. Brilliant Mont isn't just a school--it's a village.
