It's simply the best school to prepare young learners for a successful educational journey. The staff is exceptional... dedicated, nurturing, and deeply knowledgeable. I can't compliment them enough. Their commitment to each child's growth, both academically and personally, is evident in everything they do. Many of us in education have entrusted Londonderry with our own children because we knew they would be in the best hands. The environment is structured, yet warm and inspiring, exactly what young minds need to thrive. If you're looking for a place where your child will be both loved and challenged, Londonderry Montessori is it. - Heather B

St. Timothy's Children's Center is located in the St. Timothy's Lutheran Church in Goose Creek…read more It's a mighty fine preschool that our daughter started the beginning of this month and we are very please so far. The teachers and staff here have been great to us and our daughter, she has made some new friends and is learning to socialize with other children. The pricing is great, a little below average pricing for preschools in the area. I guess my only gripe is the preschool meets 8am til 12pm; I would rather school start at 7:30 and go all day so it didn't interfere with my work schedule. But I do understand that's how most preschools are and we are lucky and happy to have found St. Timothy's.

My kid had a very bad incident at this daycare while teachers were distracted changing another child's diaper on a changing table. During this time, my child was unsupervised. The director Afton later called me and fabricated an incident report. Thankfully, a teacher reached out to me privately after hearing the false story and told me what actually happened, confirming the director's account was untrue. This facility is extremely understaffed, poorly supervised, and dishonest when serious incidents occur. While some of the teachers genuinely care, the director is a liar, and that alone makes this place unsafe. If you want your child in a safe, well-supervised environment, rethink enrolling them here

My oldest son has been a student here for about 4 months, and I cannot say enough good things about…read morethis preschool! What's so great about it, you may be wondering.... Constant contact with the school. I receive weekly emails from the director, updating me on lesson plans and any special events (think field trips and fundraisers). The teachers call parents monthly to address any concerns or questions we may have. Each month, photos of my child are uploaded to a private Snapfish account. They're cloth diaper friendly! Your child brings their own lunch each day, or you can opt to order lunch (menus and order forms are available from the school). Right now, my sons options for ordering lunch are Mac and Cheese from McAlisters Deli one on day, or Grilled Chicken from Applebee's on another day. Refrigerators and microwaves are available in the classroom, so my son generally takes leftovers for lunch. Also, the school is completely nut free! Okay...but what about academics?? Each week has a theme. Let's take the week they learned about dental health as an example. It included making tooth artwork, reading books about teeth, a visit from a dentist and learning the Spanish word for teeth (diente). In the short time my son has been in attendance, he's made so much progress. Their program truly is Kindergarten Prep. I can't wait until my younger son begins school here in the fall.

My kid never wanted to miss school, not even for fun stuff. She knows her alphabet, numbers, some blends, colors, shapes, how to behave in a structured environment, and more. I felt she was safe and very well cared for. Absolute five stars and will recommend to anyone else who lives in the area.

It's amazing to see how much he is thriving and truly enjoying his experience there.

He has made friends (I personally believe it's due to the smaller class sizes 16:1(2 if you count the teachers assistant). Communication from the school and teacher is phenomenal. We get weekly updates from the school (more sometimes!!) as well as tons of personalized updates from his teacher. We are able to call/text/email and receive photos.

PARENTS BEWARE PART 2…read more School is about to start and I have made it a mission to educate anyone on Northside Christian School. Please understand I am passionate about the learning process and I respect the teaching field. Trust me when I say do your research and ask other parents/students who don't attend church and/or work there how far behind in technology most of the teachers are and how the school don;t have the staff or administration to hold the teachers accountable to following a structured teaching guide that good for the student that does not plan to go onto Bod Jones Christina college. BEWARE of Mr. Rysta he is a awful non-caring teacher. This is the prime example of a teacher who has tenure in the school and doesn't care what is best for the student but what is more convenient for him. Is totally opposed to communicating with parents who want to be involved and asks for conferences to discuss any concerns that may highlight what he is lacking. This school totally changed my childs personality. The kid who always happy and smiling was often sad and felt like he was being ignored by some of his teachers. He would express they would ignore him trying to raise his hand and get help for classwork. When I asked him what was the problem he would say too many students in one class. I was told there would be smaller classes so that was a lie that was told to make us feel comfortable. There is only one set of teachers for each grade and that teacher will teach more than one class so of course they would be exhausted and ignoring students. I just want to avoid any parent from thinking they found a great school that will be a great educational institution for their child to understand this school is not what they sell you and I be the reviews are from church members. I have spoken to others who felt the same way but instead of taking time to write about it in the comment section they just talk about it and leave it at that. I on the other feel that it is my duty to let other's know really what is happening once you commit and start paying the tuition. If you feel that I am upset or my child has problems totally not the case. He is a bright kid and was totally broken while he was here. He completed the year and we decided to enroll him at another school where he can enjoy the learning process with people who care about the children and have a heart for teaching, I have NEVER experienced such a God awful experience in any of my other children who have been in Christian schools for 1/2 of their education.
