It is so nice being able to drop off my little guy for the day and know he is being well cared for and is receiving so much love! He is so happy and absolutely LOVES going to school. I am so thankful we found Willowcreek and I highly recommend if you're looking for a center that feels like home away from home!

Challenger has probably been one of the worst schools I've ever gone to. Not only are the teachers…read moretrained poorly, but the blatant favoritism. Firstly, many of the teachers are unqualified for their position. For instance, one of the extended teachers will purposely select students to move seats for no given reason. When someone asks why the student is getting moved, the teacher will just laugh and then tell them to move. She's also highly impatient and has been arrested, which, in my opinion, seems like a valid reason to not hire someone. Next, Mrs, Gourgeon is very fake to parents and puts on a facade to everyone. When someone gets sent to the office, she doesn't let the person explain their side of the story and will get mad at people if they don't answer exactly what she asked. A few teachers very noticeably favor some students over others, asking some students questions more questions than others or only listening to students they like. Overall, Challenger has a lot of discrimination towards to different students - whether it's between actual teaching or after school, there's a lot of prejudice.

Waterford was great for us in one way. My daughter became mysteriously ill pretty much for an…read moreamount of time in junior/senior year. It affected her cognitive abilities and she was forced to miss a good amount of school as well as special events of senior year. The kind, discreet response of the teachers and administrative staff blew us all away. They were fiercely protective of her. My daughter is pretty private but the students and their parents who knew were equally as amazing! Character was high with the kids (they didn't gossip much like you might find at another school, held her confidences and, as a result, feel like the school will forever be in my heart. The only issue that holds me back is that I feel it can be very rules heavy, a bit punitive (kids were expelled and punished for little). It lacks a vibrant social scene, can be a bit provincial in its academic and enriching offerings and can tend to mute students from sharing thoughts and expressing themselves. The last thing is that students don't really head committees or initiatives in junior or senior year... they really should and parents should be nowhere to be found. High school is the time to try new things and fail. Prom committee, the school store, a real school newspaper...They really aren't encouraged to as the parent body leads all. This proved tougher when my daughter went off to high school. Other than that, great school with great classes and teachers, special kids and- for the most part- a wonderful, warm parent body. Thank you Waterford!

The director and teachers focus on helping students develop social and emotional skills in addition to a well rounded academic curriculum. Questions (or concerns) are welcomed and responded to in a timely manner with an effective resolution. The school is safe with a locked campus and a good teacher to student ratio. The classrooms are clean, the grounds are spacious and the playground is well maintained. There hasn't been any staff turnover in the two years my daughter has attended and you can feel how much they care about the kids. They educate with warmth and good humor.

You can genuinely feel the great energy throughout the school, it's warm, joyful, and intentional. I also really appreciate that lunch is included, especially since my kids often request the chef's food over mine!

5/5 Stars - The Best Decision We Ever Made…read more Before we found Grace Lutheran, we had a really hard time finding good, consistent care for our son. Even when we did find something promising, frequent staff turnover or class transitions would downgrade an average situation to a below-average one. I can't tell you how many times my son would cry during drop-off and pick-up. He also came home with scratches and bites almost daily--understandable for two-year-olds, but it was excessive. The final straw came when he moved up to a new class and the care quality dropped again. That's when I reached out to friends for advice. Two friends highly recommended Grace--one who had since moved out of state and another who still sends her son there. She told me it was the best move they ever made. Funny enough, my husband also attended Grace in 4th grade and always had amazing things to say every time we drove by. We scheduled a tour and instantly felt like we had found the right place. We moved our son to Grace when he was two. He's now four, and we also started our daughter there this past September when she turned two. It's truly the best decision we've ever made. Neither of our kids has ever cried at drop-off or pick-up. In fact, it's the complete opposite--my son runs into class, thrilled to start his day, and my daughter leaps out of my arms without even saying goodbye. They've never come home with a scratch or bite. Grace is special. It's not just a school--it's a community. The teachers genuinely care about the children and are passionate about early education. My son's preschool teacher has gone above and beyond to prepare him for kindergarten a year ahead of time, using creative and engaging learning activities that not only meet curriculum goals but also support the whole child--nurturing their creativity and emotional development. I truly cannot express how much we appreciate this school. Grace Lutheran is a gift, and we are so grateful to be part of it.

Loved Summit Academy Preschool!…read more After having a horrible experience at another private preschool, I was looking for a good preschool to enroll my daughter in, and I'm so glad I found Summit Academy Preschool (which is NOT related to Summit Academy Elementary which has a separate entrance process). My daughter attended this preschool for a year and always came home happy. She learned to count to 100, and to even add and subtract numbers, among other things. I was really impressed! They even had a Christmas program with Santa Claus last year! My daughter was super excited. Her teachers Ms. Mckenzie and Ms. Jennifer were two lovely ladies who cared for my child learning and well-being. Every time I had a question or concern, either teacher would address it promptly. Thumbs up! My daughter was able to get to know her teachers very well as well as her classmates. Even though she will be heading to kindergarten this Fall she still talks about her friends from Summit Academy Preschool. I highly recommend this preschool, no questions about it. And remember, you'd still need to pay tuition since the preschool is separate from the charter school. The tuition itself is well priced and it is not expensive compared to some private schools out there.
