We really felt they knew our daughter very well. It's a very gentle and enriching environment and is quite remarkable that a room full of toddlers could feel so calm and peaceful. The focus on developing practical life skills through choice fostered a lot of independence in our child. There is a lovely outdoors area for exploring nature and they learned a lot about gardening. Ms. Julie is extremely knowledgeable and communicates well with parents, I learned a lot from her myself. My daughter is aging out otherwise we would be back next year for sure. I can't say enough good things about this school and recommend it to all parents of toddlers.

For those seeking to pursue a Christian education for your child/ren, you are the reason that I am…read morewriting this review. 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.

As an educator myself, I deeply value the way Circle of Friends provides a strong faith-based learning environment alongside developmentally appropriate academics. I have truly watched my children flourish both academically and in their faith, building a foundation of kindness, confidence, and love for learning. I also want to thoughtfully address a comment I saw suggesting that Circle of Friends does not help shy children or assist with opening snacks. That has not been our experience at all. Snacks are passed out to the whole class, and when families choose to send a separate snack, the expectation should simply be that children can open it themselves or that the teacher is informed if help is needed (parents, this is on you). In our experience, the teachers are always attentive, kind, and more than willing to help when a child communicates a need or when parents partner with them. Every teacher we've encountered has been warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in creating a joyful and safe environment. My children have felt loved, supported, and encouraged--especially when navigating shyness, new routines, or challenges. When my child experienced accidents due to a medical need, the staff handled it with grace and compassion. They communicated with me promptly, cared for my child with dignity, and worked collaboratively with our family to support their needs. Circle of Friends is a school built on communication, partnership, and care. Anytime we've had a question or concern, the staff has been open, constructive, and solution-focused. This is a place where children are truly known and families are respected. We are incredibly grateful to be part of a community that has meant so much to our family for generations. Circle of Friends is a special place, and we wholeheartedly recommend it.

My son went there for 2 years, GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! Mrs. McCool was AMAZING. My son loved her so much, moving on to the 4 year old class he still stopped by every day to tell her hi. Mrs waudby was also amazing as my son had a bit of a hard time going to school in his second year, she was so patient and did a great job making him feel comfortably leaving me for the school day. They are both so sweet and patient with the little ones. A lot of preschools seem to be more like daycares, but mini school is more like a classroom Setting and school time like you would have in kindergarten. They learn a lot everyday, do projects, play outside, have snack, and dance party's! It was a great way for my son to learn to be around other kids, make friends and socialize. They welcome parents to come in anytime to check in or watch what class is like, there is no hiding anything from parents which is important. I think with a combination of the two years in Mini School and keeping up the learning at home, this is why my son did so well in kindergarten and ended up Exceeding his grade level.
