Sadly, I've heard negative comments about this school system and our neighborhood. There are always a few bad apples, but I'm proud to have my family here. I was lucky to go to Hoover.

They also have police to prevent visitors from going over to the home side, even to watch bands at halftime​. As band parents, our only motivation to go to the games is halftime but that's just not possible at Hoover. The visitor's seating is also very small so if your school travels well, you're not going to have too much room.

This is the first review that I have ever written in my life about anything. It breaks my heart from the last review I read and I cannot look away without writing something. From the school, kids, teaching staff I have NEVER had any bad experiences and the love of Christ is definitely in this place. The kids are taught to love each other as the Bible teaches us to love. The staff loves the kids and respect them as though they love their own. Besides from the administrator down to the teaches ALL of their kids goes to school there as well. So if a school was this horrible and you're on the staff, and your colleagues and the environment was this toxic, would you let your child go there? Point given!!! So regardless of personal issues and I do pray for the individual that have inner issues that are not school related, but lets be fair and give honest reviews because there are others out there that needs the honest truth in helping them make the decision of a school choice for their child the same way someone helped us. Glad I made the choice years ago. The school is GREAT!!! This is Fact!!

I am deeply disappointed with the daycare at this private school and feel compelled to share my…read moreexperience in hopes of sparing other parents from the same heartbreak. My 2.5-year-old son was enrolled at this daycare, thinking it would be a great fit for his needs, especially since it's marketed as a Montessori program that focuses on teaching independence and adapting to different learning styles. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. From the moment we enrolled, it was clear that the staff's true focus was not on nurturing children, especially those who don't fit into the mold of the "perfect" student. My son is active and energetic, as most toddlers are, and like many toddlers, he struggles with napping and occasionally exhibits typical behavior like hitting (which is extremely common at this age). Instead of working with us to address these issues, the daycare chose to expel him with no warning, no meetings, and no consideration for our family's needs. The final straw was when the Head of School, Susan Downs, spoke with us only because my son was moving up to another level--not due to any behavioral concerns. She was rude, cold, and entirely unhelpful. When I was visibly upset and explaining the situation, she actually laughed and scoffed at me, dismissing my concerns that they only accepted "perfect children." To make matters worse, she didn't care at all about the inconvenience they caused us by kicking him out without notice--leaving us scrambling to find a new daycare with no time to prepare. The daycare has a 6:1 ratio, but still couldn't manage to keep up with the toddlers. It seems they simply don't have the experience or understanding of how to handle younger children, especially those who may have different needs. I spoke with other parents, and many were shocked at how my child was treated, especially since some kids don't nap at all, or only nap occasionally, yet weren't faced with the same punishment. This place used to be well-regarded, but after the previous administrator left, it has gone downhill. The lack of proper communication, understanding, and empathy for children who are still developing is appalling. My son even started expressing that he didn't like going there, which is heartbreaking as a parent. I regret not reading reviews sooner, as others have shared similar experiences. If you're considering this daycare for your child, please think twice. This was an incredibly humiliating experience for us, and we were left in a very difficult position without any support. I sincerely hope this review helps at least one parent avoid going through the same ordeal.
