We want to make it clear that this is not a review based on the services of this facility, but on…read morehow they handled a situation that we and many others felt was mishandled. We don't believe that a facility should be entitled to decide what is a minor vs. major incident when it comes to children, which in this case they thought this incident was MINOR. In their eyes something minor might be considered a major incident from the point of view of the parents. Unfortunately our incident was just that. From our pediatrician to colleagues that have kids enrolled at this location, all agreed that we should have been notified immediately. I enrolled my son at this facility for a summer camp for socialization purposes and for possible enrollment for the fall. After an adjustment period of about a week, I enrolled and prepaid for him to attend the second session for only two weeks due to our family vacation plans in which a contract was never signed. Two and a half weeks in, I arrived to pick him up at 1:30 pm and was told another child had bitten him on the arm/shoulder. The teacher told me the incident had happened around 11:00 am and that he had cried for about 5 minutes. Take your phone's stopwatch and experience how long five minutes really is. I asked why I had not been called, and she said that they didn't call unless it was a medical emergency and that I could see the video of the incident. Since I had my son already with me, I told her that my husband would stop by and they could brief him. My husband arrived within 15 minutes and was told by the director that he could not see the video because of privacy issues. Staff claimed that the bite did not break the skin, but it clearly did because it scabbed over. On Friday, my mother and I met with the director to clear up some of the miscommunication/backtracking they did concerning the incident. I reiterated my concern about the severity of the bite while I explained that I in no way wanted to know the identity of the biter but was concerned about the response time in the assistance of my son and the fact that I had not been called immediately. I stated that I had lost trust in the facility and that my son would not be attending the fall and therefore, I asked for a refund for the 2 weeks of the second session we had planned for him to attend since it had not started. She said that she would forward my request to her financial administrator and that it "should not be a problem." An hour later, the director sent an email denying my refund. I responded by explaining this was an extenuating circumstance and asked for her to reconsider due to the mishandling of the incident, vague policies/ "internal procedures," and deleted parent handbooks/guidelines from the app, which had been previously there and confirmed by another parent whose child was currently enrolled. She responded by calling me "intimidating" and accusing me of having expectations that were too high just because I simply questioned policies in a calm manner. This review is NOT about assigning blame. It is about the failure to notify us about the injury to our child. This review is NOT about a refund. We have worked with our bank that has provided us with excellent customer service. We DO want others to know how they handled our situation before a decision is made to enroll their precious child at this location. Included are photos (both initial and on the 5th day - photo that reads Monday 6:50pm) of the bite the staff of this facility considered not important enough to notify a parent immediately, because it was MINOR in their eyes. ***Disclaimer: Be aware that many of the 5 star reviews given to this facility come from present employees and/or their family members who have enrolled their children there - do your research! FYI: We're unable to leave a review on google due to the fact that it seems they disabled the ability to post through google. That would make me question the fact of how many other incidents have occurred prior to ours.

As a father of two daughters who have been attending HCA for over four years, I feel compelled to…read moreshare my experience and express my gratitude for this school. I wish I had been given the opportunity to attend a private school during my childhood, and even more so, a truly Christian school. Unfortunately, that was not my experience, and I still recognize the effects of growing up without the kind of protected and nurturing school environment that many people today may take for granted. That is one of the reasons I appreciate HCA so much. I am amazed by the love and care that every staff member shows my daughters. With so many students, one might think that individual children could easily be overlooked, but that has not been our experience at HCA. The love, attention, and dedication shown to my daughters mean more to me than words can express. I also want to commend the school for the quality of its education. But above all, what matters most to me is the emphasis HCA places on the Word of God and teaching our children about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My daughters have never been ashamed to talk about Jesus with their friends and family. As a Christian father, there is something incredibly special about seeing your children grow in their faith and feel confident sharing it with others. I have always said that there is no other place I would want my daughters to attend. If HCA were ever to close its doors, I truly believe that I, along with other parents who feel the same way, would do everything within our power to help reopen it with the same dedicated staff. That is how much this school means to our family. To every member of the HCA staff, thank you for everything you do. Thank you for your love, your patience, your dedication, and for making a difference in my daughters' lives. Please know that your work does not go unnoticed, and that the seeds you are planting in these children will have an impact far beyond the classroom. I would also like to encourage other parents who have had positive experiences at HCA to share them publicly. When there is negativity, it is important that genuine, positive experiences are heard as well. Do not let darkness overshadow the good that is being done. If this school has made a difference in your family's life, take a moment to say so. Your words of encouragement may mean more than you realize. And to any parent who has had a difficult experience, I would simply say this: no school is perfect, just as no person is perfect. One bad experience does not necessarily define an entire school and we all learn from our mistakes. If there is an opportunity to communicate, work toward a solution, and give grace, I encourage you to consider it, just as God has given grace and second chances to each of us. If any parent would like to contact me directly to discuss my experience or share their own, please feel free to do so. Thank you for taking the time to read this honest review. May God continue to bless HCA, its staff, its students, and the families who are part of this community. Omar Torres

This is a terrible school, under terrible leadership. This…read moreschool recently went from 2600-2900 annually to over 8k in tuition without warning or fully disclosing how outrageous the increase would be. When pressed to address the increase and explain the justification for that tremendous jump, the owners , the Gonzalez's were hostile. My husband and I sat in bewilderment at how two " ministers of Word" could behave with such pride, self righteousness and sheer anger. All over our direct pressing for answers on why tuition increased 170%. Prior to this meeting we had never meet these people. We had never conversed with them, but once we saw the leadership example they are to Harvest staff, the issues we had been experiencing over the last couple of years was much more clear to understand. My daughter was bullied for 2 years with no real solution offered to us. A teacher put my child and other students through humiliation rituals as punishment. Nothing was done to the teacher when a meeting was held. The school in my observation is labeled " Christian " as a branding strategy, but it's a business 1st to these owners , No doubt. There are some very suspicious grants being offered, by a suspicious " committee " they were very tight lipped about. I am in conversation with TEA and out State Rep about the way money with grants and assistance programs new this academic year are being managed. All in all what you can expect with this school is laziness. They dont see, to enjoy being with the students. too much. They continue to reduce and reduce the school days for Harvest students. Right now they are scheduled for 131 in class teaching , every other school in RGVis in session for 176-179 days! Almost 2 months of less education per year! They have zero college accredited teachers , anyone can apply to teach at this school. Im not even sure if a high school diploma is required. All the while , increasing tuition 170%. They are absurd and not worth even the old tuition cost. My biggest regret was not seeing the truth sooner. My opinion is that My daughter and every student there is is receiving inferior education based on what Im seeing in just 2 weeks of my daughter attending a real school with real structure and real teachers that have the education and training to be educators.

They instigated my 90-year-old dad to move out of his home. They helped him take his belongings one…read moreday, leading him to believe he would be better off in a communal house. I came home after being out hours because I was his provider, and I was told the next day he was leaving, so I set out to find a job. When I returned, he went with his clothes, books, and bedding. From what I gathered, fishing equipment and an ice chest are missing from the home. This is the 2nd time this daycare instigates this. 1st time he was gone and roaming reynosa and i was told by cops if he left of his own free will i would be arrested for harassment if I continued looking For him. Mind you this put me in a financial position of over night needing to take out a title loan on a vehicle to not end up homeless. A year later and thousands in interest in still dealing with that loan. Fast forward to now the day he left I was able to refinance it an affordable payment and was able to secure a regular job. Why does this matter? Because they can be doing this to more families. Fast forward they did not find him a home. They took him out if his home and dumped him at a hotel. I now living alone locked the gate to the home while I was at my 10 hour a day job. Well apparently he might be with APS but because he requested no contact with anyone I now will never know what happened to my father. The last thing the daycare told me when I was trying to fight for him to stay and I could set him up in a living situation that was best for him was that I didn't have power of attorney over him and they basically ruined our lives. I get you they are still charging his services to Molina health care. And they can't back track any of this as I've files a police report the 1st time and I will file a second one this week to document this.
