HONEST review!
When moving back to California, I was anxious about where I would begin education for my littles after leaving a small town. By the grace of God Springs Charter Schools entered my radius of heavy searching! My first impression of the campus was to my surprise, "small town vibes." The principal Mrs. Slaten, was so well rounded in her abilities. I knew If I felt safe in her energy, my babies would too! So I signed them up immediately! At the time, I opted to do the learning center 2 days on campus 3 days at home, to see how my kiddos would do. I have 3 children, my oldest began at the Cherry Valley Learning Center program with Springs for the first 2 years. My daughter became old enough to do kindergarten through this same program with our wonderful ES (education specialist) Mrs. Mindy. Whom we'd see monthly to check in on assignments. (We miss her ) My littles excelled and learned so much fun stuff through curriculums of their choice. Soon after my youngest son was coming of age for Kindergarten, I realized, he was not going to be a good candidate for the at-home learning program because he said he wanted teachers and a classroom So I decided to try the academy program, 3 days at school 2 days of at-home learning for all my kiddos. They have been attending the Cherry Valley Campus now for the past 2 years, and LOVE it! Every year seems to get better & better. More resources, optimal changes that cater to the children's needs, educational/fun after-school clubs, REACH Fridays for extra help with HW packets for those at-home learning days, a loving principal & vice principal, CARING teachers, a plethora of activities, and even a food truck for free lunches! Any concerns regarding mild foul language (stupid etc) that might need addressing, get addressed! I love that they pride themselves on Kindness & Respect. We need a lot more of that these days. Overall, the development of this newer Springs location at Cherry Valley Student Center has superseded my expectations. We have nothing but good things to say. I'd rather not post pictures for privacy reasons but if you are on the fence and want a safe, caring, supportive, and educational space for your child/children to learn and thrive, BOTH program options are wonderful! Check it out and see for yourself.
