Harper School is the best choice my husband and I made for our kids' preschool education!! Our…read moredaughters began when they were 3- and 4 year old respectively and despite English is not their first language, we are impressed how quickly our kids learned their alphabets, counting forward and backward, and holding a pencil! Our 4 year old daughter learned to write her name within 2-3 weeks starting at Harper! Our 3 year old daughter resisted our attempts to teach her how to properly hold a pencil at home but Harper was able to accomplish this! Harper serves a lot of physician and health care professional families working nearby at MoBap and Mercy, so they are less likely to cancel school days (for snow) compared to the local public schools. The heads of school surprisingly know the students very well, they are both very involved in all the classrooms with all the students and teachers, and also have a personal connection with the families, which contributes to an inclusive, warm, welcoming, and nurturing environment. Even though English is not our children's first language, Harper miraculously over came their language barrier to help our daughters feel loved and included and drops off became happier and less tearful. Harper undoubtedly has a strong and successful academic curriculum but most impressive is their cohesive and nurturing environment because our kids feel safe, loved, and seen. Thank you Harper!!

This is one of the best daycare/preschool that I have found for my son. We enrolled our son here…read morewhen he was 2 years old, he is now 5 and in their pre-k class. The teachers there are amazing! They have so many great activities they offer like sports, gymnastics, Chinese and Spanish classes, parents night out, and so many others. Everyone there knows us when we walk in, even the teachers that are new or never even had us. The director of the facility is always around and never just sitting in her office, I always see her and the assistant director doing everything! From mopping floors and cleaning up, and being there when you need to talk about your child, and you can tell they actually take what you have to say seriously and helps out in anyway. Our son has learned so much while there. He is well above what he should know for his age and I think they have a lot to do with that since he spends most of his day there. I love the fact that when I drop him off everyday, he is in great hands. We have been to a couple daycares before knowing this is where we belong. It's an amazing place and I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a childcare center.

It's an okay school. Went here for three years, and it matched my religion which is why my parents…read morewanted me to go. Some feedback- the dining hall needs to be a lot better. I've had several friends find raw meat, hairs, and even one found an acrylic nail in their food. I personally have gotten food poisoning a few times and got sick from raw chicken once. The discipline system needs to be better. So many kids here that just do a lot of mischief and the teachers can't handle it all, I hope they get more support there. I had many issues with the discipline system here that I won't get into, but a lot of the time I didn't feel very loved here. Only a few adults really ever tried to help me become better or help with the situations at hand but it didn't solve the problems either for a very long time or ever. Some good things- the majority of teachers here are very sweet, love to teach, and have great teaching models. They really try to make sure every student is succeeding in their classes and put out good ideas and encourage learning, even though not all students respect that and abuse it. The trips are fantastic, especially the Israel and Class trips, Israel trip personally changed my outlook on life a lot and I loved it. If you're a Christian Scientist they actively put a lot of CS material into the curriculum and everyday life. If you're not a Christian Scientist, might not be so great. They also just built a huge new sports complex that's awesome. But overall, school is okay, doing better. Hopefully the new management can steer it in the right direction.
