    We put our toddler here from age 1.5 to 2.5 and the year went by so fast. Her primary care takers…read morewere: 1) busy bees // Jennifer was the primary caretaker - our toddler had an adjustment period for the first 2-3 months (cried at drop off, etc.) but gradually liked her time here. she played, learned, and grew. I think the teachers were attentive for the most part, and kind. She did lose a pair of pants during her time in this class, and it was never found. 2) cuddly cubs // Deanna/Dorrie were the primary caretakers - our toddler was the best eater, always finished her lunch and excited for pick-up. lots of parallel playing here, and Dorrie always said she was the sweetest and obedient kid. never got into trouble. She did come home with a scratch on her arm, which another kid did to her, and we had to inform the teachers. What we love about this facility is the following: - our kid would come home with her own creations and artwork pretty often, at least 2-3 deliverables per week. that was really awesome. - they have parent teacher conferences (about 30 minutes long) to discuss progress made w/ your child, this was a useful session to have and share our own points of view, etc. - the facility is relatively new and they have events that are fun such as the halloween parade, mother's/father's day celebrations, etc. - plenty of parking in the lot, and you feel that the place is secure in terms of safety (locked doors, and the reception area has people at the front desk). What was a bit strange was the following: - they weren't upfront with us during enrollment that you should bring your own bedsheets and water bottle. we didn't know about it until 2-3 months into our class that we were suppose to bring our own. it would have been nice to have those expectations set up front. They made it seem like they were doing me a favor by providing bedsheet & paper cups. I mean give me a break, just tell me so I can bring my own. - billing was pretty lax, you basically submit a monthly check for tuition, and then they only give you a receipt if you ask for it. i had to do my own calculations to make sure that i was paying the right amount to include any fees, since they were pretty vague about what i owed

    Two of our children go here, and I literally can't think of anything about this school I would…read morechange. What a great place to trust with our children's formation.

    The 2 year old reviews drew my attention. I'll admit now…read moreplease be careful considering this "Christian" pre school. Past few weeks Stepping Stones have been having trouble with staff. The director, teacher ,and 2 staff quit on the spot wich forced us out for 1 week due to being understaffed. The owner Andres had no choice to step up and assist. My wife witnessed some harsh discipline Andres grabbing and 2 year old boy by the arms rasing him eye level shaking to get attention and yelling at him because he threw an object at Andres, Andres then put him down grabbed a hold of a wrist and picked him up to his feet dragging the kid to "timeout". I'm glad that 2 of his staff witnessed this and is cooperating with us. This incident lead us to withdraw from the program. The current director facilitated a meeting. At the meeting Andres wanted no part in discussing the discipline matters. After withdrawing I requested a remaining refund since we are mid month. He stated we signed and agreed for a 2 week notice. How can someone in this scenario notify? Andres was short tempered over voicing me and my wife. I asked for license information wich he refused to hand me until the 3rd time asked. Andres (owner) shall lead by example to his staff. The parents to the little boy are now aware of this situation. We hope by this message here to shine light and aware all parents of this event. We will be filing a complaint to the state board.

    This is a follow-up review as our great Niece has completed her year at Stepping Stones Christian…read more Preschool. We're so impressed with the accomplishments she's achieved during this time. She looked forward to each day with such excitement not only for the interaction with her classmates but the classroom participation with lesson plans, outdoor activities and seasonal crafts and demonstrations. We also noticed her improvement of additional vocabulary and comprehension. She is so excited to become a Kindergarten student and will be able to use her acquired new skills. Our thanks to the staff and wish you all continued success, we loved being part of your "Family" !

    Let's talk about favoritism. BCHS has a clear pattern of treating certain students better than…read moreothers. If you're not part of a well-known family or you don't fit a specific mold, don't expect the same opportunities or treatment. Whether it's in athletics, academics, or even discipline, there's a very obvious bias at play. It's disheartening and exhausting to watch students who work hard be overlooked, while others skate by simply because of who they are or who they're related to. Snobbery runs deep here -- among both students and staff. Instead of fostering humility and kindness, there's an unspoken hierarchy that rewards arrogance, status, and appearance. If you're a little different -- whether that's in how you think, what you wear, or what your background is -- you're treated like an outsider. There's little to no effort made to include or support students who don't conform. And let's be real -- for a school that prides itself on being Christian, the lack of genuine empathy and fairness is pretty shocking. You hear about grace and forgiveness in chapel, but that message often doesn't show up in how administration actually handles things. Decisions feel inconsistent, and it's hard to trust the system when you see double standards in action. And you also cannot forget the corrupt dean that works here. Talks badly about student after they leave to other students that our currently walking the campus. If you're a parent thinking of sending your child here, I strongly encourage you to not go here. Waste of a 17k a Year.

    Visited after graduating for a few years I remembered alumni…read morestudents were promised free tickets to all sporting events during graduation, went back for football game not even homecoming one, got charged, told is not free. It was really heartbreaking because it was my first time visiting bchs again after two years. Then I got pretty sad and tried to visit my old teachers, and realise most of them got fired because of low ap score or something. It's only been like three years! Only my maths teacher is left because he is goated. Hey education is indeed pretty good, at least when I was there. Then the president fired himself this year. I really think this school is pretty fake, I really think you should save the money and send ur kids to other schools. It is not worthy. #libertybetter

    My daughter is in her second year here. She is the youngest of four kids (we have 3 grown adult…read morechildren as well) and I have done any number of public school, homeschooling and privately schooling with all of them - depending on the individual needs and learning styles of each child. That being said, this school is exactly what we were hoping for with our youngest. It isn't snobby or snooty. Good, hard working, normal folks bring their kids here and it doesn't feel like a country club mom clique (IYKYK). The class sizes are very small. The teachers really know your kid and hold your kid accountable. We needed something in between homeschool and public school (we tried both), and this is it for us. I feel like everyone at this school loves her, but they also don't let her get away with any shenanigans either. It's stricter than public school and for that I am so grateful. I am able to be in as much contact as I want or need with the teachers and the administrators. They do fun things (they have a junior high dance, some sports like volleyball, basketball, football) and go to Hume Lake for example. They have chapel every Friday and parents are invited to come...it's lovely. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the teachers and the staff. On top of that I love that she studies the Bible and is growing spiritually here as well. I also was shocked at how reasonable the tuition is here compared to pretty much most of the other private schools in town. The academic level is pretty rigorous - definitely beyond private school level. But with smaller class sizes there is more attention given to each kid. It's small, cozy, welcoming and we are very happy with it.

    My child has been attending 4 years. I love this school, the teachers, and staff. Office staff is…read morenot rude they listen to your concerns and acknowledge you . Show that they appreciate the investment you are making and that you chose this school. Teachers have taught my child so much beyond just an education, they reflect the love of Christ. They genuinely enjoy their jobs and love the kids, I am forever grateful for all they do for my child! Highly recommend.

    This place is horrible my son went here for a while and was discriminated against by the director…read morethe director is very rude and always has an attitude like she's miserable there she doesn't like to be around kids clearly when she can just go find another job. She flat out disrespectful and rude the teachers are amazing but there are times where the director needs to step and my son would constantly help me that she was mean to them when said teachers would step out and they were alone with the director overall, it is a very negative experience here for the children. They don't even provide lunch or do they have any playground equipment to play with? They don't have an actual playground and they barely have any toys and it looks like they all got them secondhand. Nothing is brand new here there's nothing for the kids to play with or nothing entertaining going on. I don't feel like my child was safe any time being here. As a mom, I definitely did not recommend this place not only for children, but as well as the parents, the director is rude to us as well

    My child was attending that preschool for the last 2 years and 7 months. I have watched at least 8…read moreteachers come and go. A lot of good parents and students have left the school since last summer. That was a huge sign for me to pull my child out and leave sooner, but I didn't because of my husband's wishes. It used to be like 50+ plus kids at that preschool. Now there's only like 17 kids. The owner Shelby even gave me flyers to pass out to recruit more students. The school was nice in the beginning; and I had even written a nice card and gave it to the owner Shelby. That card probably helped her to get a nice rating for her school. The school isn't nice anymore. They got this new teacher named Abbey; she turned away my husband and child from school, because they got to my child's class (Denise's class), 4 minutes late. It takes a few minutes to get past the security door and into class. However, you have to call by 9:30am if you are running late. This happened on February 19, 2026, on a cold rainy day. After the incident, I called the front desk to speak with either Leanne (the manager), or Shelby (the owner) to report it. Abbey answered the phone and said they weren't there. I called 30 minutes later, and Abbey answered and said they weren't there, so I let Abbey know that I was upset with her for kicking my 4-year-old out of his own class and school. Later that day, I finally spoke to management Leanne about the situation, and she sided with her new teacher Abbey, so I pulled my child out of that school the same day. My son was no longer safe there after they kicked him out initially. For this school to be a Christian school they did not show love or respect on that cold rainy day. We were a good loyal family who paid our monthly fees faithfully. Who normally calls and shows up. Abbey and Denise kicked my child out in the cold rain because of 4 minutes. I no longer trusted them to care for my child. You get way more respect, love, and teaching at public school and essentially, it's free. You don't have to pack your kid lunch every day for public school. At Heir Force Academy, they don't feed your kids, you have to pack breakfast, lunch, and snacks. The new teacher, Abbey, didn't have to be so mean and rude, she kicked my 4-year-old out. There were only 3 kids in my child's class. I guess Abbey was that tired. Don't waste your money at this school. Your child will get better treatment somewhere else.
