This school contains many stellar educators. However, the administrative functions are…read moredisorganized, capricious, incompetent and outright disrespectful to their teachers and parents. We had a child in their preschool program. Enrollment was complete chaos: they promised us space in the after care program, assured us there would be plenty, then forgot to add our name to an email list serv for families so we never received the email asking to register. We had to beg and plead for a spot for extended day so that I could continue full time at my work. Their emails to families never come from one person, sometimes it's the head of school, sometimes the CEO, sometimes the librarian. It makes it so confusing and to this day my husband is still not receiving emails that I do, and vice versa, seemingly randomly. During our year of enrollment the preschool encountered numerous challenges and communication to parents was abysmal. Our classroom flooded and randomly had to be closed for more than a week. There were issues with the "lunch program" which is I guess adequate calorie wise, but truly pitiful. Many staff and families feel that the admin leadership, Director of School to be specific, sees the PFA program as a cash cow, but does very little to improve or support the preschool division. (And there's a question about whether they really are in compliance with all of PFA mandates). Half of the enrollment at this school is the preschool. Our beloved teacher raised many concerns with their leadership team and was ultimately fired for being a squeaky wheel, and she was literally the only reason we could recommend this place. After this school year none of the families I know will re enroll and many of the preschool staff are planning on quitting. All that said, I believe that TM has the ability to reform and I sincerely hope they do, because I believe that the educators have skills and experience and the grounds of the school are incredible.

We have had children enrolled in Cornerstone (CCA) for the last 18 years. Until about ten years ago, the school was under the headship of Crossroads Community Church. The school had a healthy "family" feel whether talking with teachers, walking into the office, or strolling through campus. Biblical principles were integrated into the curriculum, and overall, students were respectful and well-behaved both in and out of the classroom. When CCA and Crossroads Community Church opted to part ways, we became acutely aware of a shift in culture as the school walked through ongoing changes in location, staff, and leadership. In our personal experience, the "family feel" and overall healthy culture has steadily degraded over the last several years. Our children have described a decline in the amount of Biblical integration occurring in the classroom and the amount of disrespectful and inappropriate behaviors that they have been exposed to on a daily basis in the classroom caused them to feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. Over the last school year, it became evident that specific threats to student safety, destruction of school property, and severe bullying amongst students seem to be handled internally without the involvement of law enforcement or communication with teachers or parents. In discussions about this, we were advised that threats of violence are pretty commonplace nowadays in the public school arena. My question is - should we not expect more when choosing to have our children educated in a Christ-centered environment? I appreciate the vision of current leadership at CCA. I think that their hearts for children and their desire to serve the Lord are genuine. However, from our family's personal experience, their vision and hope for what CCA should be is not what is being experienced where the "boots hit the ground" in the classroom.

Prior to Mud Pies, we were sending one of our children to a different daycare full-time where our older child did really well, but our younger child was struggling and acting out as a result. I was getting fairly regular phone calls about our younger child's behavior, and it was hard to not feel like I was failing as a parent. We were referred to Mud Pies by a friend and could not be happier. Two weeks in, I tentatively asked the lead teacher how our child was doing. They expressed that our child seemed to be getting the hang of the scene at Mud Pies, and that there was no need for alarm, then summed up their thoughts with, "We're just really glad he's here. He's a great kid." The model is not for everyone. These kids won't be trained to learn how to read before kindergarten and there likely won't be any reports about academic progress. But as far as I'm concerned, WHO CARES? My son is cared for deeply and he wakes up saying he's excited to see his friends. Communication between the leadership/teachers and parents is incredible. It's a beautiful, cozy space with an incredible outdoor area (where kids spend the majority of the day). My son also eats almost EVERYTHING he's served here-- and it's good stuff!
