Teachers and staff change constantly, and it feels like no one really knows what's going on.

They talk a good game during tours and orientations, but once you're in -- it's a different story. Beware.

The Director claims there's a cut off time but there is not! Protocol isn't followed at all . Management sucks and that's because of the Director she lack at being a Boss and taking ownership . In fact she has other employees telling other employees what to do causing tension . And the one giving orders walks around all day hanging in the office talking about other employees and it's with the Director because she engages in it . She doesn't have your back at all because she talks about you as well . I've witnessed her several times about other employees. If she was replaced this business would be operated correctly . So many people including myself have left behind her Horrible management skills and horrible communication skills . She cares more about having friendships with her employees than setting the tone for the school . The reviews for this school are true especially the ones speaking on the director and the management. There's favoritism there's racism and so much drama ! And the way some teachers handle the children isn't Good at all . There frustration gets the best of them . Management will not inform you of changes until the last minute leaving things very chaotic. I've had several people tell me she was racist but I had to see it for myself and she is !! The owner of this business is all anout his self. Raises are hardly given and the way he presents his self is very unprofessional. Money is all he cares about but his hard working employees don't get appreciated . He hardly ever speaks unless he's spoken to. Rude and uncaring is what he is ! He has no knowledge of his employees unless it's coming from the Director . All of the owners schools have bad reviews especially about poor management and unfairness . I don't recommend this Daycare at all ! The tours are all a front . Nothing happens the way it's presented to you. This place is highly unprofessional and anyone lacking experience is hired and thrown anywhere just to fill that spot . The good thing about this job is you would always have a job because she's afraid to fire anyone she rather give chance after chance . I could go on and on about why not to come to this place but It would take hours to do so. The previous review about cameras mysteriously not working is absolutely true for some reason the bad things always get erased or told the cameras aren't working! Please keep that in mind because there's definitely cameras that works. The director and her sidekick watch it all the time . I hope my review helps some or all save themselves time on checking out this Daycare ! Thanks

My son started attending the preschool in late October/early November. At his previous center, we…read moreexperienced a situation where he was bitten several times. We discovered the bites during bath time period I expressed to the director at Meadow Oaks that it was important to notify me if anything happened to my son. I explained that I did not want to discover something had been happening that was not reported. However that exact thing happened at Meadow Oaks. My son has longer hair, that he wore in braids, and it was ripped from his skull. When I noticed that his hair had been pulled from his head, I immediately called the center. The director was unaware however the teacher, Clarissa, knew what had happened and did not report it. In addition, I was asked to come in Monday to view the footage and when I showed up there was no footage to see. It had already been deleted based on their video storage system. Clarissa says that the incident happened in an area that is a blind spot for the camera. I do not feel that a child of 18 months can rip someone's hair completely from their scalp. Clarissa had been rude to me on previous occasions(I reported this to the director), on 3 instances I came to the center and my son was soaking wet(pants and diaper with urine), and his face would often be dirty. I reported this incident to the Mesquite police and Texas department of child care licensing. This was a heartbreaking experience for me because I explain to them all I went through emotionally after my son attended his previous center and the exact same thing happened here. The director is unaware of what happens at her center, and the teachers are inadequate and incapable of caring for children.

My junior in high…read moreschool son and ninth grade daughter have learned many valuable social, emotional, athletic, and certainly educational lessons. Moving them from Lamplighter was very timely as they were craving structured environments that had rigorous academics. I am thrilled that they have been able to pursue their passions - including theater, sports, volunteerism, so many clubs, and leadership opportunities. Don't let the small class size fool you, it is a blessing! There are tons of opportunities for growth and they encourage the students to shine based on their own merits. Contrary to that negative yelp post from way too many years ago (P.S. You can't blame a child's drug habit on the school. That's called observant & disciplined parenting), the administration keeps a close eye on the students and alerts the parents quickly to concerns or behavior shifts. I can confidently say that we have parented in partnership with the school to raise smart, respectful, creative, athletic, well-balanced students. And Lakehill's focus on college prep is indeed a strength. The college counselor Ms. Dondis is a highly acclaimed professional - even a sought after expert speaker in her field. We specifically looked at Lakehill because it offered nondenominational education with so many opportunities in a nurturing, structured environment with a solid academic track record. 5 Stars for great academics, sports, a great community of involved parents,and a caring administration!

My 7th grade nephew currently attends this school, and he has since he started kindergarten. He is…read morevery happy to go to school, participate in sports and service projects, and make and keep what are sure to be long time friendships, all of which are long term benefits of a smaller, private school education. I feel as though he is a mature, respectful, well-prepared middler who I expect to achieve a very sold, college readiness experience. In terms of technology, the school does use lots - iPads, laptops, labs..... fairly typical of what I expect from a school such as this. The most important part of my observation is that he is happy and likes to go to school. I'm impressed. When I lived and taught in Dallas, I had no idea what this school was until a colleague left my school to teach there. That was 1997 - and he is STILL THERE! Since then another friend left his school to teach there. At this point it got my attention. Then they hired a marketing director, and the school started appearing more and more in the paper - like a LOT. Service projects became popular and a mainstay, and it was clear there was a strategic plan executed that included some serious "play," which has paid off; all of these things, my nephew participated in. It's a best kept secret for sure. From a community member perspective, living in the Lakewood area was a good experience, and I was able to participate in their fund raisers (Trek For Tech, among others), even though I didn't have kids in the school. Overall, if you are looking for a private school, you may be immediately enamored with the "big 5 (St. Marks, Cistercian, ESD, Hockaday, and Ursuline), and there are HUGE merits to each of them, but Lakehill prep is not to be missed.

From day one, we have been treated like family, not just another number. The staff, teachers, and leadership genuinely care about each student's academic growth, character development, and spiritual foundation. They take the time to know the students personally and partner with parents every step of the way. The sense of community here is unmatched. The values being taught align with what we reinforce at home, and the love, encouragement, and structure my daughter receives have helped shape her into a confident, respectful, and well-rounded young lady. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, faith, and consistency this school provides. If you're looking for a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where your child is truly supported and valued, I cannot recommend this school enough.

As an educational assembly performer with over 25 years experience, this is the first and ONLY…read moreschool I will NEVER perform for again! While performing on stage in their auditorium I observed teachers that were more interested in talking with each other and playing on their cell phones than attending to their children! The kids were out of control and the teachers could have cared less! 2 times during the assembly people even entered the side door of the stage, walked across the stage, and exited the back of the auditorium without stopping along the way ( to talk to a teacher or student with school business). They were just taking a SHORTCUT through the auditorium to get to another part of the school more quickly! CAN YOU BELIEVE THE RUDENESS! The kids were yelling to "Kill the puppet" and other such horrible things during the performance. I've never heard kids yell such things - and the teachers were totally oblivious because of their own conversations, texting, etc. Never again will I perform here again - for any amount of money!
