The teachers are great and very vested in making sure each kid is not only performing to their potential but also ensuring that child is doing ok mentally and emotionally. That willingness, and more important, the constant availability to mentor, encourage or even just be a sounding board. Don't get me wrong, the academics are top notch. But it is the culture of this school that is its strongest draw. I highly recommend it,

This is a private, Christian Pre-K-10 school located in Howard County, and run by the Seventh Day…read moreAdventist Church. Class sizes are small, usually around 18 children per teacher plus a classroom assistant. Before and after-school care is available for a very modest charge, and allows parents to drop children off as early as 6am and pick them up again as late as 6pm. My daughter has attended since Pre-K, and all of her teachers have been wonderful and caring. Tuition is incredibly reasonable for the calibur of education provided, and there is a limited amount of financial aid available. There is no reason for us to consider the much more expensive private schools in the area when Atholton Adventist Academy is so great.

Mom you finally found it. You found a way for me to learn without even knowing it. She also started writing in her journal for fun. I did not have to ask her to do it anymore. If you are looking for a place where your child can learn while having fun, this is it!

Ms Amy was so patient and caring at all times, even when the kids didn't seem to feel confident. Shortly after a few sessions, their love for learning in these subjects grew rapidly. They loved to go to their sessions, see their new friends and learn new things. Their teachers at school noticed the difference in their school work as well. When we moved out of Howard County, they enrolled in a top private school and for sure their time with the Sensory Station showed. Both kids are demonstrating skills in these areas 2 grades above their peers. And most important, their love for reading and writing continues. Greatest decision made to invest our Saturday mornings and week day evening here. Thank you Ms Amy and your team for the excellent work with our children.

Over the year, our daughter has graduated from the NICU follow up clinic and Infants and Toddlers Program because she is developmentally on target for a three year old. I attribute her ongoing development to the daily lessons/activities she receives at Happy Sprouts. Each week she brings home a stack of activities and learning tools shes completed in class. The staff is wonderful and treat all the children as their own. We are so glad we found this gem within our community without paying private school/Montessori prices.

He spent time in the roosters and ponies classes. It's so clean, well staffed, decent staff retention, and I'm always wildly impressed with the behavior of the kids. My son has made a lot of adorable friendships. We've been obsessed with his teachers, especially Andrea, Kayla, Xhochilt, Mia, and Mackenzie. He's learned some Spanish, great classroom skills, and independence. Andrea has been there for 17 years which is so impressive to me. The communication with the admin is so fast and everyone always seems so chill. As someone who taught for 10 years, I find that to be incredible. That sense of peace really rubs off on the kids. They are a little pricier, but I think it's worth it. In the summer there is less consistency with the teachers because of vacations, but it is still well-staffed and they do so many events in the summer to make it extra special for the kids like tie dye, bubble shows, foam party, magicians, service dogs, bringing in reptiles, and musicians. On nice days they got outside 3 times a day. Their play areas are really nice. My son's favorite parts of the day were centers and playing in the sensory bins which changed daily. He came home with tons of art and meaningful knowledge about their weekly questions.

The director of this school is amazing, she pours her heart, time, work, and love into the school, kids, activities, events, and ceremonies. The teachers are excellent as is the quality of the education. The behavior expectations are strict, but their methods are objectively effective and the teachers use proper disciplinary techniques (our daughter never complained about teachers shouting, yelling, or being mean like at other schools she's been at). Our 5 year old finished pre-K and is able to read, do math, and also learned history and geography. We recently took a long road trip and she often talked to us in the car about things she learned in school about the different states we visited, or historical figures we mentioned (She learned a lot about MLK, for instance). The school is wonderfully diverse, there is no religious affiliation so our daughter was taught equally about all religious and cultural traditions during the different holidays. We loved all the events, and ceremonies we attended, in the year our daughter was here we went to a few seasonal concerts were the kids sang and danced, as well as a trunk or treat, Halloween parade, earth-day activity, and a surprisingly robust graduation ceremony! We absolutely recommend this school to anyone in the area, preschool is a very important developmental stage for children and this school did a fantastic job setting our daughter up for success in K-12!
